SO, let me tell you the nice big old story of this week.

It starts out on Tuesday. 

Tuesday we had intercambios with our hermana lideres again except that I stayed in our sector and Hermana Rhoads went to their sector, so, I led Hermana Nielson around all day and it was all rather dramatic what with we have several people that think their houses are haunted and are asking blessings and such that we have to call the elders for but then they don't want to be just with the elders, so we've been going around to people's houses with the elders and just... drama. So, some of that drama was happening on Tuesday but also, the dueño of our apartment came to look at it with E' Vizcarra and for some reason they didn't have the keys to our apartment in the office, so we had to go back to the apartment for that and then everybody was really angry at the elders that were in our apartment before us because there are things like holes in the walls and all the mold that is happening and just a bunch of stuff that we obviously didn't do

but also they were laughing really hard

because

well

okay

so

i took the doors off the closet because they didn't work

and then

we got the sewing machine and didn't have a place to put it

so

i put the closet doors over the couch and made it into a table and the dueño and Elder Vizcarra asked if that was the elders too but... it was us... and they just thought it was SO FUNNY because it was just such a manly way of thinking, but anyway

haha

sometimes i think about that and can't stop laughing actually because we totally didn't even think twice about the closet doors because, let's be real, our motto is 'act like a lady, think like a man' so that

but anyway

then we went to give a blessing to a family and then we went later (in the noche) to a lesson but in a taxi because it was really far and as we were getting out of the taxi... something happened...

something happened to my knee...

and I suddenly was feeling a lot of pain and a clicking type thing when I walked and I was just in A LOT OF PAIN and so we taught the lesson and then just went home and called the mission nurse and she told me to ice it and things but we had zone conference the next day and she would be there so she would just look at it

so

she talked to me a little bit at zone conference and then sent me straight to Hermana Videla and she looked at it

and

put me

on

reposo

AND WE WERE ON REPOSO FOR 3 DAYS

AND IT WAS SO BORING

AND IT WAS SO TERRIBLE NEVER LET ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO YOU BECAUSE REPOSO IS SO BAD

but so, we reposo-ed and people came in and out of our house to look at the damage and everything and to decide what to do and then

well

that's pretty much all that we did

there are partidos all the time because of the Copa America and it is sort of being held here in Chile so whenever there is a partido, we have to go in early

partido is game

like a soccer game

that is what i am referring to haha sorry yeah okay anyway

I just don't even know what else we did this week

mostly we just were sad and quiet and not doing anything and it was excruciating

Hermana Rhoads playing only minor chords and
being sad - reposos is hard on missionaries

also there hasn't been rain at all yet this winter

which is SO STRANGE

and the air is very contaminated so we're not allowed to exercise outside anymore until it rains and uh

i just have no clue

my dad is old now [Hermana Schomburg's dad had his 50th birthday this weekend]

i don't even remember if anything cool and exciting happened to me this week

i think mostly 

just we didn't do anything

but rest

and rest

and rest

and rest

and rest

BUT WE WILL BE HARD AT WORK THIS WEEK EXCEPT FOR TODAY BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER PARTIDO AND ALSO ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

but that reminds me of something

the other day i was sitting around thinking to myself and then i thought, 'wow school is out but it is practically july already time is passing so quickly pretty soon all my theatre friends will be in college-' 

and then i stopped

and realized

THAT SO MANY PEOPLE GRADUATED AND I DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT HOLY CANNOLI EVERYBODY GRADUATED AND IS GOING ON TO DO WONDERFULLY THINGS LIKE LITERALLY WHAT EVEN HOW ARE YOU ALL SO OLD WHAT EVEN

SOMEBODY THE OTHER DAY ALSO WAS LIKE 'if youre an actress then act something for me' AND I WAS LIKE 'well dont tell me what to do first of all and second of all

the last show i was in

was almost 2 years ago' AND THEN I SCREAMED TO MYSELF FOR 12 YEARS

but anyway, sorry i'm so very boring this week. That is all that I have to report. I will have a much more lively and spiritual report next week, I promise. 

We're moving this week also, if i didnt mention that. We're supposed to move on Thursday but we also have entrevistas [interviews] with presidente that day so... we'll see actually.

love you all!

CCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
