Not to be THAT Missionary, But.

I always said I wouldn't be that missionary that gets lazy with their weekly emails and just says "yeah things are good, we worked this week, yeah, miss y'all see ya". 
I won't do EXACTLY that, but be prepared for a less-exciting email. 





The great moments of the week include:
Playing "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" on an Elder's ukulele that he brought to the zone activity last week. At first I couldn't remember the chords and I was really mad. But after playing around with it for a while I remembered. It's just a sign that I'm focused on the mission, right?



Today we went running to the beach for our exercise time. That's one thing that Utah doesn't have on this place - every day we're looking at an incredible view of the sea. I love love love the view here. 

This is the last week of my trainer, Hermana Suárez. I can't believe that she's already going home! I will now be truly orphaned here in Chile. I won't even have my mission mom to look out for me. That also means that I will be in a trio for a week. (Hermana Suárez extended her mission so she's leaving before the end of the transfer). Keep listening for news on the trio experience...

Thing that I want my family to be grateful for this week: washer and dryer. We don't have one in our house so sisters in the ward wash our clothes. Sometimes we have to wait longer than expected to get our clothes back. I hope the people of Tomé don't notice when I wear the same outfit a couple times in the week...

Tip for people who interact with missionaries on a daily basis: don't talk about marriage. Hermana Rodriguez and I have noticed that all the members here love bringing up the subject of marriage with us. Like "oh do you have someone waiting? at what age do you think you'll get married?" etc. etc. It's like hey, people, let's talk about missionary stuff. I can't be thinking about men right now!

The Lord really answers prayers. And He always prepares the way. The Gospel is true amen. 

Love yaaaallllll, 
Hermana Glazier
