FABULOSA LAS CONDES!

Saying Adios in Javiera Carerra :'(
Wowee! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! So happy that you were born, you make the whole world so bright! What a wonderful week! So many reasons why! This week I had my testimony strengthened that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I have known and believed that for a long time, but I love to have my conviction of it all strengthened. Another reason to be happy is that it's been hot but the smog covers the sun quite nicely a lot of the time so not tooooo hot. Another happy thing is that we found a family!! Since I got here I have wanted to be able to share the gospel - so centered in families - with a family. We prayed to be able to find one and BAM! The next day! The Tapia Parker family. Love them already.

Other news!!
~I met a dog named Martha.
~A man told me that I am the perfect evolution of a microbe years and years ago. Falso. He went off on us about how he was raised to believe in God but with time came to know that Darwin is "el hombre" (the man) and God doesn't exist; we are just evolution. So sad. He wouldn't let us say anything, he just talked over us. So we finally had to just leave eventually, but not before Hermana K had a few things to say: 'Who is to say what a day is in the eyes of God? How could something as beautiful as human life not be divinely designed by a loving Heavenly Father?? It just can't be. Darwin was not even sure about his own evolution theory. But we know the truth!! How happy to be made in the image of God.'
~I shared my testimony in church and when I came back down I had a baby panic and asked Hermana K if I had ended it "in the name of Jesus Christ amen" or if I had just walked away. Turns out I said it. Everything is well.
~I walk probably 124 miles a day.
~I'm happy and smiling all the time.
~I am sharing the. happiest. message. that there is! 
~This morning we went to a museum that we thought was a science-y interactive one. Not. Ancient Rome in clay-mation and also in Spanish. I don't know very many ancient Roman vocabulary words in Spanish, but what better way to learn, yeah?
~We went to the supermarket and took a taxi home. We invited Andres, the taxi driver, to come to church and he said he would love to! WOOHOO ANDRES!

I love y'all and hope that you're doing well! Everyone has dropped off the face of the planet except mom and dad, oops!! Where'd y'all go?

Hugs! Smiles! Squeezes!

Besitos, 
Hermana Siebach
