No more meat, please!

So I decided that instead of starting at the beginning, I'd make it a little easier on myself and back up to about a week ago. La hermanita sent me some photos of her and her companion, a peruvian, who has been a big blessing to her! La hermanita says she is very patient with her lack of spanish, and is helping her to learn. La hermanita took some spanish classes before her mission, and spent some time in Paraguay, so I don't think it'll take too long before she picks things up. The Lord works miracles when you are doing His work, and missionaries usually become pretty fluent after 4 months. I think my sis is counting on this!
Here she is with her companion and a Chilean family at the church. The girl in white was about to be baptized. LDS missionaries spend every day, from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. studying the gospel of Jesus Christ and sharing it with others. La hermanita will study for about 3 hours in the morning, then leave for the day to knock on doors or talk to people in the street. She will also talk to members of the LDS church to see if they have friends that are looking for the gospel. If she and her companion find someone who is interested, they will teach them until the person feels that they are ready to be baptized into the LDS church. On an average day la hermanita will arrive back at her apartment at 9:30, and then retire.

Here's an excerpt from a letter I received last week:

"We found an investigator through a Cosecha (harvest). What we do is at night we knock on people's doors and ask them if we can bless their house with a prayer. So, we found a family through doing this. The other night we read from the Book of Mormon with the mom. My companion explained the history and we read from different parts. It was very cool. I just felt the spirit and I am pretty sure it touched the heart of the investigator. She is interested in it. After that experience my companion said to me that her testimony in The Book of Mormon had just increased. I felt the same way. There is so much power in The Book of Mormon! So, this week was the independence of Chile. Which means we ate meat, and a whole ton of it. I probably ate the equivalent of my leg in meat this week. Yea, not a meat fan at the moment. Moderation!"

She cracks me up!
