Hello from Puerto Varas!

hello from Puerto Varas! the most beautiful sector in the mission. SERIOUSLY. HOLY COW. i can´t believe how pretty it is here. i never ever want to leave! the ward is awesome, the members are great...the bishop actually goes to church every week and helps us out a ton. we are teaching a lot of people and i have A LOT of faith that we are going to see miracles here. this sector has a lot of potential to progress. i feel SO blessed to be here. the greatest part is that our mission leader has a fruit shop, so we get fruit for free.

also, MY DAUGHTER. oh my gosh. i love her. that is all.

haha no just kidding. she´s so dang cute! and she´s working so hard! she reminds me of me when i first got to the mission. i´m learning A TON from her example! i´m so so grateful for the opportunity i have to be with her this transfer. what a blessing. i´ve loved it so far because i´ve been able to remember some things that i´ve forgetten. i´ve also learned that teaching is a lot more than just talking. i could talk to her all day about the things she should and should not do but i think what will have the most impact on her is what I MYSELF am doing and not doing. i love asking questions to see what she understands and then going out in the streets and actually applying what we learn and study. i always want to treat her as the missionary i know she is capable of becoming. she has LOTS AND LOTS of potential!

the other day we had a special training for the sisters in my zone. IT WAS AWESOME! i loved it! we talked about about the power of our thoughts. we are what we do. we do what we think. and what we think we want to become. so we are our thoughts! haha...we talked about how there are 3 types of people in the world. there are the negative people, the people that have the desires to do the right things but never do them, and then there are the people that take advantage of every moment of everyday..the people that know what they want to become and they work toward becoming that person. so if we have good thoughts, those good thoughts should lead us to ACT. so my goal is to be postive. and to act on those positive thoughts. i want hermana jenkins to always have a good attitude...even when someone slams the door in our face. 

well i hope you are all doing well! i love you guys so SO much! i love being a missionary here in chile! it´s the best thing ever. i can´t believe how fast time is going by. i don´t want it to end! anyways, have a great week! i hope we all wake up every morning and fall on our knees to ask our heavenly father what we can do to find his children that are ready to hear the gospel.

love, hermana steele
