Soy Una Misionera Chafa

That's right I lost my missionary badge. I have no idea where it went and I've looked all over the place. Buses, investigators houses, streets, our house, literally everywhere. So I went without it for 4 days but people kept giving me crap about not having one, so I made a fake one. It's even more chafa than not having a badge. (Chafa means crap quality or something along those lines. It's a Chapin word.) But hey I'll just have to suffer for a couple weeks I guess until the office elders get me a new one.  

But besides that this week has been quite busy. I feel exhausted if I'm being honest. But it's all worth it! Woo! Anyway I got a package from the fam! It made my soul happy! I felt puro japones. Look at my pocky and kimono! I made Chow Mein over a fire with one of my favorite fams (day I lost my plaqua). I def smelled like smoke after. We went to the temple with an investigator. I always love the temple. It's the best. Even if we have to wake up 4 to go and so we eat crepes for lunch to make us happy again. Had a fun NDH (FHE) in the monte. Went to a boring district meeting. Was tired with my compita. Went to an aldea far far away called La Bomba! We saw a lot of cows. And lastly here's a pic of my fake badge. Isn't it beautiful? You can barely tell the difference in pics! In person it's a lot worse. Anyway there you have my week! 

But as for spiritual learning and progressing I think I learned that life is about making it yours. And you do that by looking for the lord. And really not caring about what the world or other people think. Sometimes I believe that it's a very hard thing to do, but in the end when one just worries about what God wants for you life is a lot happier. I'm learning that about mission life, but I imagine that it also applies to everyday life as well. So mi gente make your life YOURS! (and the Lords) That's my only advice. I love you all! Till next time!

P.S. P-day has been changed to Tuesday next week for Christmas and I'm imagining they'll only give me an hour to talk to the fam and no time to write you people. Entonces lo siento. Ask my parents how I'm doing! Hasta luego!
