I can´t believe how much time I have now been in the mission. I´ve lived in a foreign country for 6 months now and it feels like I just left yesterday. I feel like every day I'm learning more and becoming little by little the missionary that the Lord needs me to be. I feel like the Lord has given us a huge job to do in Rauquén right now especially since we are working in two sectors and sometimes I don´t know how we´re going to be able to help all of these people with all that we have to do. But something that I am learning is that I just have to rely on the help of the Lord. This really this isn´t my job or our job to do, it´s the work of the Lord and He is in charge and if we do our part He will make up for the rest.
So story for the week. Here in Chile when it rains, all the Chilenos make sopapillas in their houses. Which are like scones but they have pumpkin in them and they put stuff like ketchup and mustard and mayo on them. It was raining Saturday really hard and we showed up to a menos activos house and her two daughters were making sopapillas. Her 8 and 10 year old daughter live the majority of the week in the house by themselves because she has to work every single day. But as such, the house was a little bit of a mess when we came. We entered and there was dog throw up on the ground and so the menos activos started to clean it up. Well, while she was cleaning up the dog throw up, her daughter came up and asked her is the consistency of the dough for the sopapillas was alright and she just stuck her hand in the dough to feel it without giving a second thought to the fact that she had been cleaning up dog puke. We ate the sopapillas afterwords. You know, here in the mission you just kind of stop worrying about stuff like that.
I love you all and hope that you have a great week!
Love
Hna Ayre
