Queridos Amigos,
Wow, what an amazing week!
Hermana Ochoa and I went to Ezeiza to work with Hermana
Lohman (California) and Hermana Hernanadez (Guatemala). They split their area
in half and Hermana Ochoa and I took turns between each area. So one day I was
with Hermana Lohman and the next with Hermana Hernanadez. I had a blast working
with each sister and seeing the different ways that they teach and work. We
found lots of new investigators and we worked hard the whole week. It´s so
great to get to know all of the sisters in the mission.
We had lots of adventures this week and some crazy things
happened, hence the title of this email. One day I was with Hermana Hernandez
walking down a dirt road of Argentina. We had just finished talking to a man
and I stopped to write down his address in my notebook so that we could visit
him later in the week. As we stopped to do this, a swarm of dogs came running
to greet us. One in particular was very interested in me. It was actually a
very pretty dog and not very big. I turned to talk to Hna Hernandez to comment
on how cute the dog was when I felt something warm and wet on my leg.... In
disbelief, I turned and looked down to find the no longer cute dog marking me
as his territory. I couldn´t believe it!!!! Mid-calf to heel was soaked.....
Luckily I didn´t wear tights that day and I was wearing my crocs. Hahaha Hna
Hernandez was laughing so hard she could talk.
My experiences in the mission never cease to amaze me.
The next day was just as exciting. That day I was with Hna
Lohman. We were teaching an investigator about the Law of Chastity. Her name is
Mili. She has a 2 year old daughter and a 3 month old puppy. As we were
teaching, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. The toddler began to open
my backpack and umbrella while at the same time the puppy used me as a chew
toy. The little stinker has some teeth! While all of this a happening
simultaneously, I´m trying to teach Mili with a straight face ( and not
flinching for the pain in my ankles) the importance of living a chaste life....
haha it was great. Luckily, the spirit was present for the lesson and she
understood all that we taught.
So, I´m not a dog whisperer and I think I´ll stick to
teaching the gospel.
This week we are headed to.....Monte Grande! Haha one week
and they´re sending me back. I´m excited to go back to my area and work with
the sisters there.
I love you all and hope you have an amazing week.
Con amor,
Hermana Chaffin
