WHO ELSE JUST KNEW SOMETHING
BIG WAS COMING??
I just
want to say that I love the new prophet, he’s the bomb, he’s gonna have us
ready for the second coming so quick! We were so excited for conference Vilches
and I could hardly handle it! Two reasons 1- straight inspiration!!!!!!
2- it’s
the only time that we as missionaries have the perfect excuse to do absolutely
nothing but goof off for like 12 hours. We got our own room to be able to see
it in English. The thing is there’s only one elder in the zone out of ten who’s
not gringo, so it was basically like the whole zone was there, except the one
elder, my comp and one other, ha-ha. A few Latinas that speak English even
stayed to watch with us because we had a party. We all brought a ton of food
and just put it on the table and munched the whole time! SOOO thinking about
what snack I would like to take to our gringo party. I thought... I would kill
for a corn dog... that’s right folks, I may be in Chile, but I learned how to
make corn dogs!! The corn dogs went great! I practiced them on Thursday
night with a family in my ward (a TOTALLY fun FHE). Then on Saturday
morning I got up and made like 25 corn dogs. They really did turn out pretty
good. The whole zone ate them in just a few minutes, ha-ha. The funny part
was that my zone leader is like super into exercise, he’s like a body builder
and all that. So much so that like every week he makes every missionary in his
zone report your best plank time. SO he’s crazy. He also does NOT DOES NOT eat
any (good) food ever. He will buy cake for someone’s bday and not even eat a
little bit. So Vilches and I were sitting there deep frying, and we had more
batter. We ran out of hot dogs, so I thought, what else can I deep fry??? And
there were just two carrots sitting there on the counter. SO I DEEP FRIED THEM,
and put them on a stick. They looked just like corn dogs, and I gave them to
him I said "elder, I made these healthy corn dogs just for you:" The
whole zone laughed so hard. He bites in and he’s like "Stanley, did you
deep fry a carrot?????" SO FUNNY. Just me being my same old clever self
heehee :)
Also
funny thing. A really funny elder in my zone had a bunch of pickles. He offered
me one, I said I didn’t like pickles. So he says "have you ever tried one
hna?" I realized that like,..-.. no. So since I have overcome all fear of
eating anything once, I tried a pickle! Turns out they’re pretty good! 20 years
of my life have been a lie!! All of those years of pulling pickles off my McDonald’s
burger!!!
Another
fun thing I tried this week is something very Chilean..... ALCACHOFA! It’s a vegetable/
flower that you chew on and then spit out... it was .... weird... I don’t
know... but hey it was funny trying! I made lots of videos, I’ll try to get em
to you guys!
Kernizan
is a Haitian investigator that we have. He’s sooo amazing! He’s going to
be baptized on Saturday, if all goes well!! He has been so diligent in praying
to know the truth, going to church, and reading in the BoM, a real example to
me. I know that if we honestly seek to know these things, with real intent to
do what God tells us to do, He WILL answer us!
I
loved so many talks, I can’t even remember them all because they all kind of blurred
together! next week I’ll get back to you on that one a little bit more!!
Today,
we had a really fun zone activity. Our zone hiked a mountain! The fun part was
that we had to leave really early in the morning, so all of the hnas from the
zone came over, and we had a sleep over!!!! We had so much fun!!!!! We
made brownies and french toast, we danced the cueca, we talked about everything
we could think of, and just so you know, Hna Vilches is funny during the day,
but at 4:30 in the morning, you can’t handle her!!!! So then early in the
morning we met up with the elders and we hiked a mountain! It was really fun. We
got to a good spot and started a small little fire where we made the best s’mores
we could do! It was kinda raining but that just made it more fun!!! And we got
home at like 11 or something, it was an early day! We were exhausted but it was
really fun! OH YEAH, guess what we found on an elder’s foot while up on the mountain!!!
A WILD TARANTULA!!! I was dying... it was SO BIG!!
I love
you all, sorry my email is not that coherent or spiritual today,.... I only
slept about an hour and half, and there were five of us on two mattresses so I
mean, I didn’t really sleep much ha-ha! I love you all!!!
Love,
Hna Stanley
