Hello from Curico!
Hope you are all doing better than I am--haha!
This week has been rough. We have been in the apartment the
last two days. My companion was fine the first half of the weekend while I was
up vomiting all night (while she slept peacefully) and day (food poisioning?)
and then we switched places. It was awesome. But now we are back to work. On
the rebound, but happy to be out of the house and back with the people.
We also had the opportunity to have a special conference
with Elder Bragg of the Seventy who was visiting for an area tour this past
week! He and his wife are awesome and it was such a wonderful conference! We
learned a lot and I have an even greater appreciation for my call to serve. And
I know that Rancagua Chile is where I am meant to be, without a shadow of a
doubt!
To explain the subject line from this week...though I speak
Spanish usually without problem, sometimes I still slip up. But heck, I do that
in English too--haha. I was trying to explain an idea that was expressed in
General Conference from Elder Nelson about how he would choose the Libro de
Mormon over all the riches of the world. I confused a Chilean word for money,
plata, for a Chilean word for guacamole, palta....if you could have all the
guacamole in the world or the Book of Mormon, which would you choose? Ahhh,
tough choice!! (Still the Book of Mormon--haha...)
Sorry as always for the poor grammar, ask my mom, I swear I
was excellent with English beforehand. But that's it for this week. I hope you
all have a good and healthy and fun and happy week. Lots of love from Chile!!
Con amor,
Hermana Eibert
PS. Thank you so much for the cards! I finally received a
bunch from all of September and October! and I only cried a little--haha. Thanks
for all the love and support! I love snail mail.
PS. otra vez the picture this week, for my mom's sake, is me
and my comp, and my ¨we had food poisoning all weekend" look, rocking it tho--haha, and an empenada from when we weren't sick.
