So this week, I made note of all the things I wanted to tell you about.
First,
the milk. They don't pasturize the milk here, they blast it with
radiation...or something. It's safe to drink, don't worry, it just has a
bit of different taste and you don't have to refrigerate it. But they
also have dehydrated milk. My companion showed me her favorite brand of
dehydrated milk and I bought it. It's hands down the most disgusting
milk I have ever had. Especially on cereal. YUCK! Today I'm going to buy
regular milk so I don't have to eat dry cereal anymore. Bleh.
The whether here is not bad at all. I can't decide if it's because
we haven't quite been hit with winter or if it's because I'm on the
coast...maybe both? but I haven't been very cold. It's actaully pretty
similar to Moscow weather sprinkled with more Seattle. It also hasn't
been very humid...until today at least. Today feels like I'm taking a
shower, but it's okay. But seriously, it hasn't been very cold. I
actually like it. My companion is ALWAYS cold though. and she always has
to go to the bathroom. It's not a bad thing though. We were able to
teach a couple lessons because she asked to use their bathroom.
Everyday a member from the ward feeds us lunch. I haven't had a
lunch that I didn't like (yet! knock on wood!!) Pretty much, all we've
had though is soup, chicken and fish with some carbs on the side...rice,
noodles, potatoes... muy rico! The food is really good (except the
dehydrated milk) and the members always give us some fruit to take on
the road. Yum yum! The other day though when we were at a memebers
house, one of her sons had a shirt on that had english on it. I've
noticed a lot of people with english written on their shirts. This one
in particular was really funny though. The tshirt said "US Army Wife"
I'm 100% sure he has no idea what his shirt says!
Oh, so last week at our mission conference, I met a girl named
K R. She told me she used to live in Moscow. She was a year below
me, but she went to McDonald and even had Mrs. K she
couldn't remember what ward she was in.
We were going through the area book to looks for people contact and
in 2009 there was an Hermana Hutchinson in Constitución! How cool is
that! Also, people have a hard time saying my name. A sister in the
other companionship calls me Hermana Hutchington. It's funny, I love it.
I'm super excited because the other day we met a girl named R.
She is awesome! The spirit was so strong during our lesson with her and
she accepted baptism. She couldn't come to church with us yesterday,
unfortunately. I think she might be my first legit investigator! The
problem with the Chileans is their so nice. They invite us in to share a
message with them, but they don't really have any interest. We haven't
gotten past 2 lessons with very many people. I think Rocío is going to
be different though! She didn't say anything, but I think there is
something in her life that is difficult for her right now and I think we
came and the perfect time to share the Gospel with her! I pray for her
and hope she'll be my first baptism!!
Have fun on the Independence day! It will be my second in a row
that I won't even be in the country! hahaha oh well, we can have a mini
celebration in Chile!
I love you all! Keep being awesome!
Hermana Hutchinson
