Good news! Hermana Vargas does not have gallstones and her
gallbladder is just fine! Bad news is that now we are back to square one
because she still has all the same symptoms and pains. Unfortunately that has
meant that we are still in the apartment all day. However, more good news is
that this means I get to go on divisions again! Last Friday I went to San
Bernardo again but with different Hermanas in a different sector. It was a
biking sector so I could to spend a day on a bike which was fun and very
interesting haha This week we have divisions again, but this time I am staying
here in Poeta and "leading the sector" so wish me luck!
As for our apartment adventures, President gave us
permission to watch a select few movies that we found in our apartment so we
have been enjoying our time watching Spirit and Home. It is good practice for
me though because they are in Spanish which means I guess they technically
count for my language study time too.
I think it is safe to say that the lesson I am supposed to
learn right now is patience. Patience with myself, patience with the Lord, and
patience with the language. There is a scripture that says it perfectly in Alma
17:11 : "And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites
(or in my case Chileans), thy brethern, and establish my word; yet ye shall be
patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples
unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the
salvation of many souls." We can´t always control what happens to
us, but we can always control how we react. I may be at the patient in (very)
long-suffering part right now, but i know if I endure it weel with patient and
positivity I will recieve the blessings promised in this scripture, and the
Lord ALWAYS keeps his promises (2 Nephi 10:17)
Have a wonderful week!
