Perfuecto/Feliz Christmas

-

 Hola Familia y Amigos!


So this week Spanish whooped my bum and I said "perfuecto" in a lesson. That is not a word. But it was funny. 

Feliz Navidad everyone! I hope you are able to remember the purpose of this holiday. Whether you're religious or not, you have a Savior who came into this world to die for you. He makes it possible for each one of us to improve and eventually live with our families forever. There's more to it and if you want to learn about Him and how you can strengthen your relationship with Him, shoot me a message. Or your local missionaries. I'll leave the link below if you would like to search them up. 

Jose, Lindsay, and Rosie are being baptized on Monday! Hermana Jones and I are so excited. We fasted with them this week for a miracle and we got one. 100% straight from the Lord. It was probably one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission. Heavenly Father keeps giving me those. 

Sort of a cool experience: one Christmas Eve Hermana Jones and I went around looking for service opportunities. We had the address of a man named Jorge but not his phone number so we just......showed up to his house and asked for a chance to serve him. After knocking on the door, this SUPER white guy walks around the corner of the house and says, "Hi". We were caught a little off guard but responded, "Hi. We are looking for Jorge. Does he live here?" He smiled and said, "Yes." It was super awkward but then we asked for his name and he said, "George.......George is Jorge in English......" Turns out this guy is from Argentina and moved here when he was 13. He is the coolest and knows a lot about the church. Apparently his grandma was good friends with David O. McKay so what. Anyways, we are going to visit him this week. He has lots of super dope cars like a 1965 Comet which makes him that much cooler.

Love you all. Keep me updated on all good things (including any and all new Post Malone music). This week I had to turn in some info to get my plane ticket home soooooo time is flying.

Love love loveeee,
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 ...
