Changes!

Hola!
So a new change has come and gone and I am...staying in my same area as before! This will be my fifth change (a change for me is six weeks) in Cristobal Colon, and my hija has left to everybody's surprise. Everybody thought I was going to leave, but the Lord has other plans for me! Besides that, I have now been made hermana capacitadora (I think in English it's called sister training leader) for my zone. My new companion, Hermana King, also has never been hermana capacitadora, so we are going to be learning together! It's going to be so much fun.
This past week we had our ward party for the Chilean Independence day! All of September is full of Chile celebrating and flags are everywhere. There were a lot of people who weren't from our ward at our party enjoying the food, the dance, the bouncy houses, and the trampoline they set up for everybody. Hermana Hirchak and I helped pass out alfahores and cuchufli to everybody who came. We also got to see people dance the cueca, which is the traditional dancing in Chile.


We now have a Chinese investigator! She came into the church basketball court with her little girl when we had our zone activity and were playing soccer and basketball, and some of the other missionaries got her number. We passed by with a Chinese Book of Mormon, which she was really grateful to have. Other than that, we couldn't talk much because she doesn't know much Spanish and her English is survivable.  So we went back with a member who speaks Chinese and are planning to meet her more often! Her name is Dina and she has the cutest two year-old girl named Ming Ming. Her husband works so much we haven't gotten to meet him at his house. But we saw him at the ward party and got to know him there! But the Chinese member is also really excited to share the gospel, so we've asked for a couple more Chinese Books of Mormon for her to share.
We also have been able to share more of the gospel and meet more and more people! It's been crazy how we've been able to find people, but I know it's not only because of me. Not to mention one of my favorite scriptures lately is Joshua 1:9.
Exito!
