Wow, this was a crazy week. On Tuesday, Hna Tidwell went to the temple because she will be leaving in three weeks, so I got the opportunity to go on divisions with my companion from the ccm, Hna cook. It was so fun to be with her again and see the progress that both her and I have made since we have been out in the field. Then we also had zone conference this week and it was amazing. I love learning from our leaders here in the mission. I feel so blessed that I have the Warnes as my mission presidents. They are two really amazing people and are both really inspired in what they do and say. When I´m around them, I always think about what mom and dad and the boys are up to and it always brings back memories of the zone conferences and interviews that I went to with mom and dad.

I learned on Saturday, that I will be going to Rauquen in Curico on Tuesday. I will be companions with Hna Beastin who is another gringa from Utah. I laugh because all of my companions have been from Utah so far. Hna Beastin only has three weeks left in the mission, so I will go be with her for her last three weeks and then she will leave and another girl in our house is leaving at the same time so I will become companions with whomever is the other girls companion is who is leaving. I have a feeling that we may be really lost for a little bit. I will only have three weeks to learn the sector. It has been really hard to say goodbye to the people here in Centinela. These people have become part of my family. I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to start my mission in Centinela. 

Family and friends, our mission has started doing our family history and it is something super cool. I invite all of you to go to familysearch.org and start your family history too. There is a lot of work to be done in everyone's family history still and what I have learned here in the mission is that it is not only for old people. I have thouroughly enjoyed doing it. You can upload photos and memories about your ancestors and if I had the time I would love spending more time on the site learning about my ancestors. 

This work is super important because missionary work does not only happen on this earth, it is constantly happening in the spirit world too and we need to help with that work. I promise you all that if you take the time to do it, you will all feel a really cool connection with your ancestors.

 

I love you all and hope you have a great week.

Love 

Hna Ayre
