Hey family and friends!
All is well in Curico! It is starting to warm up and stay
warm, which means that my true colors are coming out...I only have two
apparently, red and white. This gringa is missing the rain and the winter and
the PWN, in general--haha. But summer is definitely starting to set in here,
which is strange. I can't imagine a blazing hot Christmas, but I guess there is
a first for everything.
My new companion is fantastic! Hermana Prado is from
Ecuador, which I probably said last week, and she is the only member in her
family! She is a powerful missionary, a big inspiration, and I am so excited to
work with her! I am also teaching her English. This cambio in general has been
full of opportunities to teach or help with English, which I am loving. And I
am also learning or understanding a little more how much of a disaster English
is as a language...comforting the frustrated learners with a their, there,
they're....
We have seen so many miracles this week. I don't even know
where to start. It was so fast this week too. As missionaries, we have the
opportunity to see grand and incredible changes in people and I love being able
to help people learn, grow, and change.
My thought for the week is simple. Miracles are real. We
have miracles today. Small and simple, huge and fantastic. Tender mercies
everyday, if we only look for them. In my study of the New Testament, it was
clear that before every miracle, there was always a manifestation of faith.
Faith is always required. When we have faith, anything is possible, because with
God nothing is impossible. When we have faith, we have hope as well.
Short, sweet, and simple. Love you all, have a great week!
Con amor,
Hermana Eibert
PS. The pictures this week include a selfie, sorry mom, and
pictures of drawings gifted to us from a 10 year old boy. What a joy it is to
teach children and to see their love for their family and for God. It's pure.
And palm trees (joke's on me, because I prayed to serve in a place that's
cold).
