 ¡Hola Familia y Amigos!


This is a weak group email. Just to preface hahaha

So hermana Jones is fire as always and this week we had the opportunity to give two trainings! It was SO BOMB! Having a comp who knows how to bring in the Spirit is the besssstttt. I love her.

Earlier this week we were at the church practicing for the ward christmas program we are in charge of and hermana Jones flipped out because she saw a mouse run out from under a door. So we decided we spend our whole dinner trying to catch the mouse. And we did!!!! Hahaha it was the funniest thing ever. We also rescued some dogs that same day so call me the animal whisperer

This week was actually SUPER hard but I love being a missionary. We seriously had some of the most spiritual lessons I have ever had in my mission this week so I will have to write about Yafte de Mexico when I have more time. But anyways, the Church is true. I know it with my WHOLE heart. Missions are the coolest.

Here are some other things that happened this week:
•shattered some glass
•cleaned out a hoarder's shed #OOF
•accidentally left the mission thanks to crazy I-15
•AMAZING devotional with Lee Donaldson
•found out an APOSTLE (of the LORD) is coming to the mission in January!
•impromptu musical number for our stake christmas broadcast 
•accidentally set up a dinner d8 with an elder 

Anyways, sorry for the lame email. I'll try to be better haha :)

Love love loveeeee,
Hermana McKinlay

¡Hola Amigos y Familia! If you know you know. This week went by reallllllyyyyy slow not going to lie. Patience is a virtue....I lack. I'm working on it.  Last week after p-day I had "divisiones" with a Hermana Cappa! There are two Hermana Cappas and they're over the whole Santiago Centro Zone. Hermana V. and I said goodbye for 24 hours to go on splits with the Hermana Cappas. Tender mercy, I was assigned to a gringa! She's actually going home this week so that kind of stunk (#trunky) BUT she was able to answer a lot (and I had a LOT) of questions. We went and did something called a "Tormenta Blanca" which basically means a group of elders and hermanas go to an area and help out the elders or hermanas assigned to that area. We went to an area in my zone called "Frias" which was a 3 hour bus ride away. SO, we woke up at 3:30am to catch the bus and started working right after we stepped off. Hermana Hemingway and I found a LOT of peopl...

"Why Are They All White?"

¡Hola Familia y Amigos! So we had a cita with Exequiel this week to teach him more about prophets, temples, etc. All that good stuff. I pulled out a picture of all the general authorities and Exequiel sat there for a sec before saying, "Why are they all white?" It was pretty funny not going to lie. There's a solid amount of general authorities from South America but they all look white so we tried to explain that.  This week was kind of an odd week. Everyday was super overcast and rainy and Hermana Horton and I just kinda felt weird. At least 3 times once a day we'd look at each other and say something like, "Why is today so weird?" I think we were letting the weather get to us because we actually had a VERY productive week. The Sister Training Leaders came over yesterday to verify our weekly planning and they said they've never seen a companionship work so effectively. They said they could tell we have a love for the people and each other which ...
