My companion is Hermana Lobos from Buenes Aires, Argentina! Another Argentinian! Which is really funny, becuase the US lost to Argentina on Wednesday, but Chile won the Coupa de America Sur against Argentina AGAIN on Sunday! WOO!! So we had a great time in the house, with the 3 of us rooting for Chile and poor Hermana Lobos. The house is much more lively here in Victoria than it was in Gorbea; Hermana Lobos is a hoot. She`s always cracking jokes and lightening the mood, but she knows a TON about the scriptures. It`s really cool to teach with her. Her family and her are converts of about 6 years ago, they`re pretty much the golden family every missionary hopes for. They`re all active in the church and have callings, and the dad is even working for the church constructing chapels. The other Hermanas in the house are Hermana Fres from Santiago and Hermana J. Silva from Brazil! So i`m the only white girl in the house! Woo!
We have a bunch of incredible investigators that Hermana Lobos has helped to prepare. We`ve got a family of 4 that are progressing incredibly. The only thing they need is to get married: the trial of Chile. We`re working really hard to help them resolve the doubts they have. The dad, Louis, was married before but recently finalized his divorce, and he`s doesn`t want the same thing to happen again. But it`s good because the members here are absolutely incredible! The presidente of the rama is a super spiritual guy and a hard worker, and is very dis-positioned to help us out. So we`re going to try to have a lesson with him and Louis this week.
I`m starting to actually love the mission! It`s such a fun adventure to be here in a new place. I feel the responsibilities I have even more now that I`m the senior companion for the first time. It`s been a really cool experience, but even better because Hermana Lobos is super capa. I wish you all the best and love you all!
