If we knew why it wouldn't be called FAITH.

Dear Fam-Bam

I hope you weren't to worried when you didn't get an email Monday. We had a Zone Conference with the mission president Monday so our P-Day got bumped to Tuesday. The Conference was SOOO good! You should go look on the mission blog because Hma. Kahnlien was taking a ton of photos that I think she's going to put up.  And I was so happy that I knew what was going on, for the most part! Ah,  what a tender mercy it is to half-way understand someone. Ha the mission teaches you to be grateful for every little blessing. 

So this week Hma. Dalton and I had the opportunity to do service! Wahoooo! We helped clean out the house of a recent convert, oh it was humbling. It was Sep. 11 that we did the service activity and I don't think there's been a day in my life where I was more grateful to be an American than I was that day. I forgot my cord so I'll send photos of the house/yard next week. 

CRAZY FACT: This is my last full week with Hma. Dalton! She flies home next Tuesday and I'm not quite sure what's going to become of me...but I know the Lord has a plan for me. He called me to be Hma. Dalton's companion for a reason and there's a reason she's leaving 2 weeks before the next transfer. I haven't quite figured out what the reason exactly is, but I guess if I knew it I wouldn't have to have faith. I'm worried about going into a trio, I'm worried about having to keep our sector alive, and I'm worried about knowing the area well enough to be the guide of the area for my new trainer in 2 weeks! But I know the Savior will help me. I read Alma 37 this week and I love verse 36. It talks about doing EVERYTHING in Christ. I know that if I do everything in Christ I will be successful and he will help me live up to the task I have been called to do. 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! 

XOXO-Hma. McKenna

It's starting to warm up so I should be good blanket wise.

Nope we don't have a Mamita, but we always eat at a members for lunch so I'm getting my fill of Chilean food!

We live in an apartment and are really lucky to do our laundry in the basement, and then hang it to dry from our balcony.

I can drink the water in some houses...they always boil their water or give you juice if the water is bad.
