A conversation between Cori and her Momma (Lori):
Lori: Hey Cor are you there?
Cori aka Hermana Thacker: Yes i am. How are you Mom?
Lori: I'm great now that I can talk to you. I did write you a little letter so try and read and answer my questions.
Hermana Thacker: Hey, ya, I just read it! Sounds great..I'm not sure how fast I can get my packages, but I know that I still have to go to Rancagua to get money gram (because they don't have it here). I don't know if you sent it yet or not but maybe just put it in my card and I can buy some things with that money!
That's awesome about the presentations. Prayer is amazing and when we are serving and helping other people Heavenly Father is more willing to fill our mouths with His words. My companion and I had an experience like that this week when we got invited to speak in one of the Zone Leader meetings in the mission home. They get together every month and talk about dates, the mission and how they can help our zones overcome their weaknesses. We got the call Wednesday night and had to speak that Friday. We don't have time as missionaries to do any extra and so the first thought was, 'When are we going to plan this and what are we going to say?' Most of the zone leaders are really amazing missionaries and since we just feel like normal average missionaries we thought.....'WHAT!? Why us?.' But we went to the mission home with a few things prepared--really doubting ourselves that we could tell them something that they don't already know, or something that will help the mission. My companion and I prayed in the mission home about 20 times before we spoke...and it went really well. The Elders participated and talked and afterward President and the assistants were really happy with what we said...but of course it was completely the Spirit and I was grateful!!
How was your week and how is your toe?
Lori: So you talked about getting money can you spend American money? If so, let me know we'll put some in your next box. Did you get to see the Christmas Devotional w/ Pres Monson, he's so cute and has the best stories.
Hermana Thacker: No, but you can just put the money in the bank so i can use my card. I think that will just be the fastest way to do it. No, we didn't watch the devotional at all..no one told us about it and i don't think that they broadcasted it here. We will have to look it up. Well, I don't have much time..sorry i didn't get a letter out. My computer was being kinda stubborn and pushing my patience. Hopefully next week I can write everything that I want to! Some more pictures...and a really cool flower that i have never seen before!
