Slower and Better? What?

Yes, I wore that hat in public, haha what has my life come to?!?!

Slower and better? What? Nothing about the mission is slow hahah. But this week was a lot better. Hermana Lyons is from Gunnison Utah and has been on her mission for 7 months. 

My area is nice, Paine is right between Santiago and Rancagua. Everyone here is so nice and loving. I wouldn't say it's remote but it's not a super awesome town, haha. The Elders in our area have a nicer apartment than ours! haha But it's still nice, just 2 rooms and a kitchen and bathroom. There are so many spiders yikes!

My Bedroom ( my mom wanted to see where I live)

Desk/Closet

Kitchen

 Okay, meals. We are on our own for breakfast and dinner but the members feed us lunch everyday. But they don't really eat dinner here they have ¨once¨ at like 8 or 9.  I haven't eaten anything that I hate yet but, they LOVE rice and chicken and soup. It's so freaking hot here and they serve us SOUP!  How crazy.  It is so weird that it's hot in December, it doesn't even feel like Christmas and in a way that is a good thing because then I'm not as homesick.  

We had a Zone Conference in Rancagua with President and Hermana Harris and 6 other zones . It was good but a really long day because we have to take the bus and then walk to the church and it is just kind of a long process and a long day.

Then oh, my word did I get sunburnt!  It had been kind of overcast and cooler this week and then bam! It was so hot and I got to burnt!  hahah

The doll Marta made me.

Okay, we have an investigator and her name is Irma she is like 78 years old and has a smoking problem and just a lot of other problems but, we were teaching her with her sister who is a member.  Her sister had to go inside for a second and Irma said " Look, that plant over there is marijuana.  Hermana Lyons and I look at each other like- well, there goes the spirit!  hahah. But she's a great lady and I think she has great potential if she can stop smoking and just change her life which is so much to ask. 

There is the cutest recent convert named Marta and she sews for her job and she made me and my companion the cutest little dolls! She is like a grandma. She also gave us the best watermelon in the world. Paine is known for their watermelons. So I'm sure I'll be eating more soon cause it's watermelon season! 

For the most part this week was great, obviously a few things here and there sucked but thats life! I hope everyone has a great week! 

Love and Miss everyone! 

Love Hermana Jepsen
