| Hermana Eibert and Hermana Sainsbury in Rengo, Chile |
So my last companion had a phobia of chickens (same level of
fear I have for spiders)....and she would definitely struggle here in Rengo,
where I am now. It is a lot more ¨campo¨ or fields and space. There are lots of
horses and wagons and chickens and orchards, vineyards and mountains. It is
absoultely gorgeous here. The people are a lot more humble and so amazing. So
much love here.
This week has been absolutely killer. Hermana Sainsbury, my
new companion, is absolutely amazing! And I was worried about language, being
she has 3 months in the field...but we haven't had any problems communicating,
talking, teaching, everything! It has been great and we have seen miracles upon
miracles!
Rengo is completely different, but I love you. I traded our
cute little apartment in Curico for a cute little Chilean house! The ONLY
downside is that I discovered Chile has tarantulas. Please pray for me.
This week we were teaching this young girl named Emily. I
was incredibly shocked that she seemed so familiar, like we know each other. I
don't know why or how, and we definitley haven't met here in Chile before, but
she is incredibly familiar. She is amazing and I am so happy to be working with
her and teaching and helping her. My testimony in that there are people waiting
for us, and that there is a reason for every mission call, every transfer, every
sector and companion has grown immensely. I am incredibly grateful and beyond
excited to be here and to be a missionary helping people everyday. I love
Chile, the people, and the gospel.
My thought this week:
Maybe someone can help me out with the quote, the poor
missionary I am without much internet access, haha. There was a recent quote
from general conference that I loved that talked about how God usually answers
our prayers, guides, protects, and helps us through other people. I love this.
I know people have been put in my path, in my life for this very reason. So
many answers to prayers come through those around us. And how grand it is to
look for opporunities to help with this. We should be looking everyday for ways
to love and to serve and to help. We can be His hands. His hands were hands
that healed, that loved, that helped, that lifted others up. I want my hands to
be like His. And as long as I am alive, I want to do what I can to help those
around me. We have the ability to be His hands. We can be the answer to a pray,
a cry for help. How much love our Father in Heaven has for us.
Speaking of being His hands. A lot of you have probably
heard of Light the World. Ilumina el Mundo!! It is so beautfiul and I challenge
each and everyone of you to do it! In this Christmas season, it is the perfect
way to keep Christ in Christmas and to share the love and light. Watch the Light the World video at this link:
I am doing the challenge! I hope you will too.
Con amor,
Hermana Eibert
