O Ratz!

My favorite book! Good thing we have 40 copies of it in our house!

Hola Everyone!!

Have you ever seen myth busters? Good show. I recommend it. This week we lived that show. MYTH BUSTED. The "rats" are very much real and very much living under our bathtub. And they're huge. The size of my shoe, easily. We came back from a zone activity and were changing our clothes when something came flying out of the closet, scuttling over my feet, and zoomin' on into the bathroom. First we freaked out. Second we slammed the bathroom door closed. Third we called the maintenance man from the mission. His advice: "What would a pioneer woman do?" So, we hung up with him, got a box and a broom, entered the bathroom, and did what a pioneer woman would do. Not gonna get into any of the nitty gritty details, but, RIP. 

Lessons learned: 

• We have rats! 
• Rats are very big. 
• Rats can jump very high. 
• Rats do not like to be hit with a broom. 
• We're the toughest hermanas in all of Chile.

The crazy animal story drought has come to an end. Disfruta!.

This was a good week and a hard week! On Wednesday I woke up very sick. It hasn't really gotten better, but we're going out and doing all the missionary things anyway! But, I think we are being blessed in our efforts. Or really, other people are being blessed for our efforts. For example, we went and visited a menos activo who has not been to church in over 10 years. We shared a scripture that touched his heart, and this week, he came to church! And he loved it!!! We had no idea that the scripture we shared and the interest we showed in his life would mean so much to him. It's amazing what can happen when you follow the spirit! 

This week I found a beautiful version of All Creatures of our God and King on my mp3 thingy. I probably sound like a hippie granola child with how much I talk about the earth in my emails, but there's just Always Something There To Remind Me about how much God must truly love us to give us such a beautiful, incredible place to learn, and grow and progress. Every creation of our Heavenly Father is so loved (minus maybe rats) and was so masterfully designed by him. It blows my mind. And we are his greatest creation! We can't waste this time; we must have really important things to be doing! Get out of bed! Do something awesome! Talk to your neighbor! Pet your dog! Go serve at a soup kitchen! Sterling, stop watching cat videos on Youtube and write your little sister! There's no time to lose!

Ok I gotta go. Ta ta, chiao ciao, love y'all con todo mi corazon!!! 

Love, Hermana Siebach
