Week 1 at Chile

Jade FT on Aug 15th we were in Portland.  She told us she lives close to the ocean in a cute little cottage house, she went to the largest swimming pool in the world it was as long as the titanic.  They then went to the ocean and it was high tide and was coming in fast and took some of the elders and sisters stuff there was 12 of them total their stuff in the water.  They played soccer on the beach and it was so fun. She was struggling with her comp but knows it will get better.  She just did not let her get some food at the store for their weekly food and she does not always listen.  Her name is Hermana Earl and she is from Idaho.  She does love the 2 other girls that live in the house with her so that is good.  She is exhausted physically and mentally for language learning and going out and about all day.  She had a fun Sunday at church and this cute little old lady she meet there.  She was teaching a new friend, she had rode on a bus that was packed with people and 3 grandmas came on so the man had to hold them all in.  Her comp got sick right before they had to leave mexico to Chile and she was throwing up and jade did not want to leave her in mexico but they told her she needed to get going.  Then when she was on the plane she saw her comp come on the plane.  They did not get to sit together but she was so happy she made it to Chile with her.  She misses Sis Jenkins a lot she loved her for a comp and is hoping they will be able to serve together again sometime.  She saw a cute dog in a fence. She heard a sound and turned around and there was this cute puppy with his head through a hole.  She eats at members houses for lunch that is their big meal when they get feed.  She loves the members there.  She struggles a bit with the language still but she will get it.  She was happy overall and seemed to be having fun.

Sep 11th Knows why she is there

Image
 We had a good chat with jade she told us that she knows why she was sent to that area. She had a good chat with one of her comps and stayed up late at night. She had told her how her last comp was so mean to her. Only speaking english with others when she only knew spanish and not doing work with her. Jade was crying when she told me. She is so passionate about her mission. She has changed so much. She has so much love for the Savior and for this gospel.  She works hard and gives it all for Him.  I am sure this assignment of traveling missionary will not be easy but she knows she can bless others lives in a different way.  She is such a example to all of us and what we need to be doing in our lives to share the gospel and to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. We are so proud of her and all she does.  She had lots of rain this week and lots of mud. It was sunny on Monday so she was happy about that. They went and played games at the church with their district and ha...

Week 67 Nov 27th Last transfer

Image
 Jade had a good week.  She is still going to be a traveling missionary, she is with Hermana Brazil, they were so excited when they found out.  She said it is hard work but she is happy to do it. She is hoping to be able to go and visit most of her areas before she leaves so that she can see everyone.  So crazy this is last transfer.  The little girl has all of their name tags on. The white building is a govenrnment building.  They had lunch on a roof top. They had yummy ice cream and got samples of all the rest.  A member owns the shop so they get lots of ice cream from him.  The pic of the lady who just got baptized and a random guy who was holding the book of Mormon just wanted a pic with them.  They had district council all together and yummy doughnuts. She is in a suburb area again and is excited to be there and to find more to teach. She is doing awesome and we are so proud of her. She already has a amazing tan line on her feet!

Week 57 Sep 18 New experience.

Image
 Jade has moved to a new area again with her traveling comp calling.  When she got there the sisters were not doing a lot of work.  They were having lessons with members but did not have very many friends to teach.  Jade was feeling very down and actually did not feel the spirit for a few days.  This is the first time this has happened on her mission and she did not like the feeling at all.  On sunday they had gone to a park to see if they could find some people after church.  They were sitting on a bench and the one sister asked her what was wrong. She had told her how she had not felt the spirit since she had got there on Thursday and it was really bothering her.  They talked it out and now Jade has helped the sisters to make a daily schedule and to go out and find those to teach.  She said she was feeling much better today but still is hard.  I knew this would be a hard assignment for Jade to do.  But I also know that she can do ...
