Follow the cat to Chile 🐱

 Hola a todos!!!!!


We have had a super crazy week but that's alright! This week we said goodbye to Hna Hyatt as she left for her original assignment in Chile! But getting her off to Chile was a wild ride this week. We were driving back and forth to the tri cities which was a bit crazy but also pretty fun. It meant that it feels like we haven't done a whole lot of missionary work in the past few days but sometimes it really do be that way. I was sad to see her go but she is absolutely going to kill it down in Chile! We also had olive garden for her dying meal because the APs messed up and didn't tell us when to be at the mission office to drop her off and we were there waaaaaaay too early. So Sister Rasmussen told us to go get ourselves a nice dinner and that is what we did. Was it about $20 I blew on Italian food? Absolutely. Sometimes you just gotta treat yourself.

So now it is just Hna Dust and I, vibing up here in Walla Walla. We are desperately trying to find people to teach and we are so desperate that we honestly took directions from a cat. We had pulled over in a neighborhood and watched this fluffy gray cat look both ways before crossing the street. Then it trotted down the sidewalk and paused at the corner and looked back at us in the car. Hna Dust and I looked at each other and went, yep, we're gonna follow the cat. It clearly knows the people around here better than we do. So we turn the car around to follow this cat and it starts trotting down the sidewalk as soon as it sees us coming and then stops in front of this yellow house. So we go knock it. Sadly no one answers but we have become so desperate that we'll take directions from a cat on where to knock doors. So everyone pray for us to find people to teach because we are honestly trying everything we can think of. 

But we had a cool milagro yesterday! During interviews, President Rasmussen specifically promised our district that if we would focus on member work and being exactly obedient we would be able to see miracles. And we have been going and visiting ALL the less active members around here this week which has actually been super fun. And several of them came to church yesterday!!!!! How cool is that???? 

Pero, espero que usted esté muy bien y que la primavera llegue muy pronto. Yo quiero ver el sol otra vez, jaja.
Con amor,
Hermana Blackburn
