Week 35

This week we didn't have much success and spent a lot of time outside walking, talking, and knocking. During this time I had a lot of time to think about my life, my family, and Chipotle. 

I started thinking about how crazy it is that I am in Santiago, Chile and have been here for 8 months now. And then I was thinking of 2 people who have been by my side every step of the way. My parents, the best people that I know.

The mission is a rollercoaster, filled with ups and downs. Life in general is a roller coaster. And I am just so grateful that when I have hit rock bottom, I have had my parents to pick me back up and help me get going again. They have shaped me into the person I am today and are continually pushing me to become better.

S/O to you both, I love you more than I can say.

This week Joaquina was baptized-by Janson- and it was so beautiful. We sang Families Can Be Together Forever and I lost it because I know now more than ever that this is true. And for that I am so grateful. 

After her baptism, bishop bought a chocolate cake and cheese pops (Joaquina's favorites) and we all just hung out as a ward. This week they get to go to the temple and I am so excited. There is no better place than the temple. 

I am so grateful to be here. For the lessons I have learned, the people I have met, and the testimony I have gained. 

Love you all. Thanks for your support.
