Sorry everybody!

it has officially been 3 weeks since i wrote anything. Sorry! These past weeks have been pretty crazy. we`ve been needing to go to Temuco, the big city up north every Pday for pretty much this whole cambio because i`ve been having problems with my back. But right now i`m doing a lot better! We`ve been continuing to work hard and see miracles here in Gorbea. but I have some sad news.... I`m getting transfered tomorrow! My new area is called Tolhuaca in the zone Victoria! I`m going to be with another Argentinian, which is hilarious because Argentina and the US are going to play against each other in soccer on Wednesday. She`s called Hermana Lobos. Sister Wolf. Epic. She has even less time in the mission than I do, so we`ll see how it all works out! I`m suuuuper sad to leave Gorbea, especially because they are closing our sector and putting in 4 Elders! All of us are leaving! It`s absolutly crazy! I kind of feel like I`m starting my mission all over again. Like being here in Gorbea, that was just a practice, or a dream.

Hermana Curtis, who I`ve been living with for the whole 6 months of my mission, and I are finally going our seperate ways. she`s heading more north to the coast a little south of Concepcion, and my companion is going to open a sector in Yumbel in Los Angeles Norte. I`m going to miss them all a ton, especially Hermana Pintus. Meredith, if you`re reading this, my companion is your argentinian twin! Her and I have gotten along awesomly and I`m going to miss her more than words can say. shes helped me a bunch to enjoy the mission more and learn how i can be better.

We`ve seen so much success here and it`s hard to leave all of the amazing families that we`ve found. We`ve got about 4 families that are incredible. the husbands all could be presidente of the district eventually. But like Hermana Pintus told me, the more transfers we have, the more we realize that this work really isn`t ours at all. They`re not "my investigators", they`re the Lords and i`m just helping out a little. Things are absolutly nuts in Chile right now and I love it. Every day is an adventure. Love you guys so much! Thanks for all your support and emails!

No letter this week

NO letter from Ashlee for the 2nd week in a row but we did find this picture on Sister Kleinman's blog from June 6. It would seem there was a conference and she got this shot with Ash in it. 

"So we had another gran intercambio haha sorry I don’t know how to say that in English. But I was with Hermana Pintus from Argentina and it was soooooooo fun. She was the only Hermana with me when we got to the mission so it was cool to catch up and to see miracles together. This is all of the Hermanas in our house and in Gorbea. We had a little conference together!!"
