All About Chile

Hi Sisters! Since so many of you had questions about Chile I thought I should just give you all a brief over view of what to expect in the greatest place in the world!!!

Packing

I know you are all worried about this, but seriously don't.
My biggest advice is to bring everything in your mission packet.
EVERYTHING.
&& a little more haha.
Here is a quick list for some things that won't be on your list.

-BAG: for my mission they told me not to bring a bag because they give you one in the Santiago West Mission. Well you will need one for the MTC. So bring one anyway that can carry A LOT of books.
-MINI HYMN BOOK IN SPANISH: You sing every day multiple times a day, plus they often ask your district to do musical numbers. On your mission you will often sing with investigators out on the street, in their homes, EVERY WHERE. I cannot tell you how nice it was to have one of these little guys. 
-JOURNAL: Okay maybe its because I am a journalism major, but I love to write. When you have your going away party you will get like TONS of journals. Seriously. Everyone loves to give you those. I had a small journal for quotes and vocab. I had an every day journal that I would write in every night. I had a meeting journal that I would bring to all my district & zone meetings. And I had a journal that everyone could write me a message in, this was awesome. All of my friends in the MTC and investigators and people in my wards sign this so I could read it later and never forget them. THE BEST.
-FIRST AID KIT: Seriously this saved my life like 100 times. Bring some really good vitamins too.
-YOUR FAVORITE PERFUME & NAIL POLISH: Its just nice to smell and look pretty.
-HOODIES & COATS & BLAZERS: Seriously it gets cold in Chile sometimes. Especially in the 
mornings when you work out. I would have done anything to have brought more comfy hoodies to sleep in a work out in. Coats are cute and if you are like me and cold all the time, you need them in the MTC. Blazers were perfect for windy days. Its windy there a lot.
-UMBRELLA: It rains there.
-2 PAIRS OF BOOTS, 2 PAIRS OF WALKING SHOES, 2 PAIRS OF CUTE SHOES: I loved having boots on my mission for the cold days, bring some long socks to go with. Seriously AMAZING. You are going to walk ALL DAY EVERY DAY. Seriously invest in comfortable missionary shoes. So many sisters had serious foot problems by the end of their missions because they wore crappy shoes. You're going to want some cute shoes for Sundays, baptisms, and special meetings.
-PICTURES: Seriously bring as many as you can. Members love it & its fun to share when you are in the MTC. Plus it helps when you are home sick. Which you will be at least once. Also it helps a lot to bring pictures of your baptism, especially if you are a convert. It shows investigators it is possible. 
-SCRIPTURE TAB MARKERS: You're going to need like 100. 

Other clothes check out this PACKING LIST 

La Experiencia de la CCM

Alright so first off forget the term MTC. It no longer applies to you.
You are going to the (se se emme) CCM.
AND OH MY WORD IS IT AMAZING.
First of all, just cry your first day. Literally if you don't cry it all out, it will build up and you'll explode in the middle of your 6 weeks. TRUST ME. 
You have two options: You can live in the CCM or in a mansion close by called ALCANTARA (and that's really where you want to go, its the best). 
The CCM is really just an old institute building that they turned into an MTC.
The temple is right next door and you get to go inside every other week.
You're first three days will be the longest days of your life. 
You will learn Spanish like really. You will your first day.
Decide from your first day on, to ALWAYS say your prayer in Spanish. Get to know all the Latinos. They will help you so much with learning because they don't speak English.
Every day in the CCM feels like eternity.
Your favorite time will be TALL time. (A program the church uses to learn a new language)
Seriously when you are on TALL practice everything you have learned in class.
Oh and you will teach every single lesson in Spanish. No exceptions. 
SUNDAYS
Are the best days for your first 4 weeks because they are in ENGLISH.
Once you hit 5 weeks every day is in Spanish.
YOUR FIRST PDAY
Its going to be stressful, you'll probably get lost, and you won't know how to buy things.
But its okay because your American and your new. People expect it from you.
Word of advice, your first Pday go to the ghetto mall, ask some Americans they will tell you what I am talking about. The Liders (basically Walmart) there is HUGE and they have some cute thrift stores that sell clothes for 2000 pesos (5 bucks).
Second Pday go to the Big Mall, its farther away, and you'll probably get lost but that the whole experience. Oh and buy an empanada. SO FREAKING GOOD.
BRING CASH. They will exchange it for you so you can have pesos. Using your card STINKS because they charge you extra fees.
Buy treats to get you through the week.
YOUR FIRST EMAIL HOME
Okay get ready to have the most stressful hour of your life. 
My biggest advice for every P-day you have is to write down highlights of your day every day. And write all that down when you get to email. Seriously by the time your Pday comes you will have forgotten everything. Oh and you won't have time to really read all the emails you get. SO TAKE PICTURES of all of them to read during the week. This really helped me keep enduring to the next Pday.
THE FOOD
Okay. I don't even want to tell you because you just have to get use to it.
Its just very salty, you WILL become addicted to bread. They serve it at every meal. 
*Word of Caution* stay FAR AWAY from the bean soup spaghetti. 
Keep an eye out for the nutella filled pastries. I ran over some elders once for those.
THE SPANISH
Just face it. You aren't going to be able to speak Spanish at all until like your last week in the CCM. BUT you have to try your hardest every day. And you need to be patient with yourself.
Its OKAY to cry. Every teacher has seen way worse from me and my companions, so you're fine. The best thing you can do is practice all the time. MEMORIZE. Take TALL seriously.
Don't be afraid to fail. People will help you.
Oh and NEVER compare yourself to other people success.
Of course there is going to be an elder or sister who studying Spanish all through out their life.
Just deal with it. 
Pronunciation is much more important than grammar.
Write down every single word you hear and ask your teachers what it means.
YOUR DISTRICT
Say hello to your new family. The elders WILL ignore you at first. 
But call them out and become close. Become a family and a support system.
I love my CCM district so much and it was so fun to see them during my mission.
PICTURES
Seriously take TONS.

What you should know

*There is no central heating in Chile, say hello to freezing cold nights
*All the Spanish you learn in the CCM will only be a tiny foundations
*Some places don't have hot water including the CCM
*EVERY ONE is Catholic
*People will call you Elder
*Lots of people smoke
*People are VERY friendly to sisters, it is customary in Chile to kiss EVERY ONE you meet on the cheek. Obviously you can't kiss guys, but they will try to kiss you. Beware. 
*Don't wear maxis, they are considered gipsy skirts and men will think you are a hooker.
*Never speak in English out on the street. You don't speak English anymore. You are now a Latina.
*The church system isn't perfect. 
*Members gossip, its the leading reason why people become inactive
*People treat you like their family and will love you unconditionally
*The meals go a little something like this: a light breakfast, A HUGE LUNCH, a light dinner.
Seriously the towns shut down from like 2-5 that is the time every one eats lunch. Seriously stores close. The town is DEAD during those hours.
*The best time to contact is at night
*People sell bread, food, drug store items, juices, clothes, etc from their houses. Its awesome.
*The buses are the BEST.
*They treat sisters like angels.

Spiritual Preparation

More important than ANY of this is your realtionship with God.
You have to be spiritually ready.
Missions are hard.
And sometimes things don't go the way you want to.
I was sent home early because I needed surgery, and now I need more surgery.
You have to have the faith to do what God asks you.
You have to have a sound testimony of what you are teaching if you expect anyone to listen to you & follow your counsel. 
When you get up in the morning you are going to be less concerned about what you are wearing and more concerned about what you are going to be teaching. You're going to be praying for people and thinking about them every second for every day of your mission.
You spiritual conversion and commitment to the Savior is THE MOST important thing.
So read the Book of Mormon. Search it.
Gain a testimony of those doubts you have.
Ask God questions.
Pray to Him. Gain a relationship with Him.
Study the Savior. You are in His place doing His work.
Being a missionary is about helping people leave their old life behind and start a new life dedicated to following and becoming like the Savior.
Do you do that? Are you committed? 


Because I Love You

Hermanas your faith will be tried. 
You will want to give up
You will cry
But your mission will be the greatest experience of your entire life
The day you have to take your name tag off will be the hardest day of your life
You are going to be amazing.
Stop worrying and trust in God
Work hard and miracles will come
Your success is not measured on numbers, but on how well you follow the Spirit.
The Spirit is going to become your best friend.
I love you all and PLEASE message me and email me anytime you need a friend to talk to
carlycorrine@yahoo.com
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH
You are going to love Chile!!!!

Yo se que Jesucristo es mi Salvador. Esta evangelio es la clave para ser feliz.
Yo se que Dios nos ama. Jesucristo murio para nosotros. El nos conoce perfectamente.
Esta obra, la obra misional es la obra de Jesucristo. Y esta iglesia es la iglesia de El.
Yo amo mi Salvador. Estoy muy agradecido para la oportunidad yo tenia a servir una mision en Chile. Le extrano mucho. Y yo amo la gente de Chile. Este tiempo es sus vidas va a ser la mejor tiempo. 
Buena suerte mis hermosas. Les amo muchisimo!

Dispuesto: Coming Home

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not on thy own understanding."

Chile Santiago, has a piece of my heart that I will never get back. The people I met, the lives I saw change, and the families who welcomed me with open arms: They left a mark that is impossible to erase. 
This last Friday I was released from my mission on medical leave. I don't understand why I had to come home, but I trust my Heavenly Father. He has a plan for me, for you, and for every person on this earth. Something I have really come to terms with, is not just doing things because every one expects me to, or because they want me to, but because it is the Lord's will. 
I am made the decision prayerfully and with the Lord;s guidance not to go back out on a mission. My heart is broken, but I trust that the Lord has great things in store for me. He only does what will make us the happiest. 
Serving a mission was the greatest decision I ever made. I gained a testimony that I will never be able to shake. Jesus is the Christ. He is my best friend. And Heavenly Father, he is my dad and knows who I am. They love me and have given me a constant guide: The Spirit. 
When things don't go as you planned, trust that God has a reason in His grand plan. 
Some of the greatest trials are your greatest blessings in disguise.

God knows you. And He will show you the way.

I love you all & am grateful to be home.
I trust God's plan for me here.

Don't have too much time for a mass email.
An update: I am alive!
I guess there was an earthquake? Yup. Did not feel a thing haha so don't worry.
My health: y'all its complicated haha. I have a lot of issues and basically they are sending all my results to SLC for them to decide.
Crossing my fingers.

I have had lots of time to think these past couple of days since I have been dead ridden.
And something I want to share is this:
Stop holding grudges. 
Just live life with you heart on your sleeve and love every one. And if they reget that love then shame on them. But you, you love them. You forgive them and you let go of hate. There is no time to hate people and judge them and be offended, if you just love them.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER.

I am trying to learn how to love this sickness.
BLAH.
No pics this week cus I was just in bed all week. haha
I love you!

Read Matthew 5, 6, and 7.




Love you all!

Woooooot. I have been a missionary for 2 months. I love it here! I never want to leaveee. Like never but with my health issues it looks like it could be a possibility very soon.

Monday: Went to the doctor at the CCM and saw a bucnh of my CCM friends and old techers. And guess what I could talk to them in Spanish. It felt good. And I understand everything now. Thanks for all the prayers. The doctor broke some bad news. I need to see a real doctor and get a bunch of test done. AWESOME. Dont worry for lunhch I ate the greatest sandwich and a giant ice cream cone for a total of 4 dollars. Life is better here in Chile. Things are cheaper and teh ice cream is better. It must have like Chilean love mixed in it. Yeah so the doc gave me some allergy meds and sailn spray. No más. It was a LONG day.

Tuesday: I was feeling pretty gross, but hey there is a work to do. So we went and hung otu with our neighbore Nora. I was suppose to teach her English, but we ended up (and when I say we I mean my comp and Nora) talked about the imporatnce of women in the family. Holllllaah to my mama bear. I talked aobut how great you are. K. So Nora is a closet artist and amazing. She is gorgeous and 6o but looks like she is 40 and is sweet and has a cute little graden and giraffe statues and I loce her. Next we taught a lesson with our investigator Juan Guzam. We taught the restoration. It went well...My spanish was off cus I am sick and yeah it just wasnt as wonderful as I hoped. My main concern is that my investigators come closer to Christ. ONE DAY HE WILL BE BAPTIZED!

Wednesday: yeah since I was sick, basically slept all day and wathced movies about Joseph and Emma Smith. She is MY HERO. Oh and we had districe metting. I love my elders they just laugh at/encourage my spanish J

Thursday: Thought I was going to die. I was so sick. But lukcy we had the doctor. We took a bus and the metro and it took an hour and a half to get there....no me gusta. BUT we ran into our investigador Agostine :) Ahhhhh. When I saw him I shouted across the bus AHHH MI AMOR! Probably not very missionary-like. But he is my best friend so yah. He bought us little posteries for breakfast. It was soooo yummy. If Chile has one thing right is pastries. So went to the doctors. I basically collapsed into the waiting room and then finally got to see the doctor. And guess what! He spoke no english...good thing I speak no Spanish and my comp speaks a total of ¨Hi¨ in english. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a frustration with doctors. Please try to imagine my frustration with one who speaks NO ENGLISH. I was a messs and had a mini break down. Its fine though. Bascially what I gathered from the appointment is that I have an infection in my sinus canal and throat and they dont know what it is. No worries I took a bunch of tests blood work and a cat scan.

Friday: Woke up at te crack of dawn (6 am) to go with my comp to fill out some citizenship papers. She is now an official citizen of Chile. Pretty cool huh :) We got into the city and for a second i felt like I was home in LA. Its gorgeous. Oh and our mission leader dropped off my studies and test results. I am getting them reviewed tomorrow because to me it just looks like a skeleton ahaha.

Saturday: Ate lunch at the Mesa´s I LOVE THEM. They have the cutset story and I will have to tell you it another day. But its adorable and the whole time I was just drooling over pictures of their wedding...trunky? ahah noooo......Oh and they gave us a reference. Scoreeee. Oh and we have two new investigators: Antonia and Juan Carlos. They are awesome. The mom Maria Paz is the twin of Tammy Upton. Its crazy. And she is a member but WAY inactive. No worries though. She is incredible.

Sunday: Pretty chill. Love me some Sundays. We ate lunch at the Bishops house. It ws amazing. They are opening up a shop in their house, oh yeah they do that here. At just about every street, someone has a little drug store or snakc store out of their garage. Its awesome and everything I need is like 5 minutes from the house. And its cheap. Santa Clarita should adopt this. Also since I cant leave the house (doctors orders) we are doing divisions. We are helping the girl who are preparing for missions in our ward. One of them goes out with Hna Marquez to our appointments and the other stays home with me and we watch the district all night. Its awesome.

Ahhh I love my life. Even though this is hard, I love it. I love the people here in Chile and my heart will break if I have to leave. My heart is full and above all I just want to do what my Savior needs me to do. I will keep you posted. I love you all so much. Thank you for your prayers and love!!!! I can feel it all the way over here in skinny old Chile!

Line of the week:
Elder Cannon (elder in our ward): ¨¿Hermana Marquez, comó está su compañera?¨
Hermana Marquez: ¨Morió¨
Elder Cannon: ¨Ahh bueno. Morió.¨

Morió means she died.... No body loves me wahhhhh.
Just kidding Jesus does.

I LOVE YOU ALLLL! Dont worry I am still alive.

Stay strong and keep saying your prayers.
All my love,

So. I am in Chile. I live in Chile. And walk the streets and talk to real people.
Not going to lie I want to like cry every day because I love the people here so much but I cant talk to them because lets be real. I dont speak Spanish.
so much happened this week but I guess I will just tell you about the main points.
I live in a shack. Jk I live in a house but its tiny. And adorable. And I love it. 
Every day we eat a tiny breakfast and a lunch made for football players. I am going to get fat. No doubt. Oh well. Life goes one.
I get to teach an English class every Wednesday WHATTTTT. Yeah it is so cool. Elder Cannon and I teach.
So I pretty much understand all Spanish. I just cannot speak to save my life. We spend most of our day visiting inactive members because there is just SO MANY. We talk to every single person we see on the street and there is isnt like a lot. We at most see like 80 people a day. 
My ward is huge and I love all the members here. They treat me like family and would do basically anything for me.
My companion is AWESOME. She is so sweet and has been out for 11 months. She is sort of kind of the bees knees. She is so cute and tone deaf. haha I love it. 
Its hard because I wish we could be doing more. Teaching more people but there is just not enough time in the day. There is so much to do and so little time. We do have a progressing investigator, Agostine. He is awesome and I think he is going to get baptized. Soon we are going to commit him to a date soon!


Despite how hard it is here, I love it. I have such a strong testimony that God has a plan for us. 
He loves us, he sent us to Earth to recieve a body, but He is is desperately waiting for us to return to Him. He gave us a path to return and that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So we wouldn´t be confused, He sent his Son Jesus Christ to live a perfect example for us to follow. Jesus Christ died for each of us so we can overcome our mistakes and have some one who understands perfectly. Christ established His Church and restored it again on the earth through Joesph Smith. Now we have a profet who helps guide us even more. 
God wants us to return to live with Him again. Every single one of us. Let us to complicate the simplicity that God loves us, He wants us to return to Him and has provided a way. If we live the Gospel of Jesus Christ we will return to Him again and live with Him forever in perfect happiness. 

This is the message I share every day. Families can be together forever, we can find peace and joy in this life, there is more when we leave this world. 

If you have doubts, its okay. But please:
´´Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith´´

If you lack a testimony, you can borrow mine. I now this is true and if you follow the Gospel you will have eternal happiness.

I love with Gospel and I love each one of you! 
Please write me at my new address!!!!!

Halelujiah. I thought I would never see the sight of my email this week. Pday on a Wednesday? What is this madness?
Bad news guys, I won´t be able to email next week. Because it is transfers and I go out into the field. So I will have to survive a week with out an email from me, make sure to send me an extra email so i feel loved.
More bad news. My district was distroyed. D2 lost 3 elders and D7 lost 5 elders and 1 sister (they got sent to the Latino district cus they rock at spanish)
So D2 and D7 were combine we are basically the regects who stink at spanish. Not reallly but really. The last day D2 was together, we all said our goodbyes. I was balling. My companionship was split up. Now I am just with Hermana Gibby. Teaching is way easier in a dou. I do not like trios.
SO I WENT CONTACTING. Like I went out to the streets of CHILE and talked to real people in Spanish and they understood me! I wish I had more time to tell you everything about it. But we met Carl (my twin) except he is a guy. And he is going to come to church. Bascially I just told him ¨If Jesus Christ was on the earth and told you to go to this church would you?¨ Well yeah... ¨Well I am His represntative and I promise if you go to church on Sunday you will feel in your heart its true.¨
So i just love the gospel and want to bring everybody closer to Christ. Everyone go to church! Just go! Its the best in the whole world. GO JESUS!
K. Oh and we gave this old guy Fernando a Book of Mormon and explained that its just like the bible and goes hand and hand with it. He was like so excited. It was so cute! I love Chileans.
I sang with my District on Sunday. We sang ¨Jospeh Smiths first prayer¨ to the tune of ¨Come thou fount¨ Yeah we made people cry. GET ON OUR LEVEL. We just love the Spirit. Then I bore my testimony in SPanish and cried in front of everyone. But I didnt care. Becuase I know with ALL of my hear that this church is true. It is. I know it.
More bad news: So Elder and Hermana Gilbert are the missionary couple who lives with us at ALCANTARA. They have become my family. Well we found out two days ago that Elder Gilbert has to be rushed into the hospital for emergency heart surgery. I started having a full out break down. But I knew that the Lord would protect him. He had his surgery and he is succesfully recovering.
President Allred gave us this advice: just be missionaries. just be who you are and he will be fine. It really hit me in that moment that I am a missionary of Jesus Christ. I love being a missionary!
So got new parents in ALCANTARA the Popes. They are awesome obvs.
Oh and Hermana GIbby fell on her face running yesterday. SO FUNNY.


Genereal Conference is in 3 days! What!
Some advice for yall, go into conference with a question or two or five. I promise you, you will recieve an answer to each of them. If you dont know what General COnference is, ask Taylor Kozak (taylorkozak(at)yahoo.com)
My Christ like attribute this week is diligence. And I love it! It has made me alot more excited to get out into the field and just help every one!
On Friday we get to go to our mission and tract with real missionaries (cus we arent real hahah) It is just so we get a tasted of what it is going to be like!
Okay that is all for this week. I wont be able to email next week so I will talk to you guys in 2 :) I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Line of the week:
Randon man in a truck: ¨Excuse me Hermanas I have a joke for you, what is the difference between a black cow and a white cow? a white cow goes: moooooooooooo. a black cow goes: moooooooo-yaaaaaaa.
I was crying. I dont think I have laughed that hard since I have been here.
Thank you random Chilean citizen.
Love you all sending lots of kisses!
Muah!!!!

So can I just say I love Chile?
I love Chile.
Okay I am sorry I am such a bad person: Happy birthday Gma & I know Sister Kozaks is coming up or just passed. I am not sure I left my calender in my suitcase on accident. SOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVELY LADIES!
Oh btw I tried praying in English. Not possible.
So the 18th was kind of like Chile´s Indepence day. But not really.. They call is Primera Junta Nacionalde Gobierno. Not really even sure what that means. But they party hardy. They get 4 days off of work. Like the entire country shuts down. Its insane. So we got to go to the park thing and buy little prizes. I only bought two things. One for Taylor and one for Mom. But I will buy more sutff later dont worry. I only had 3 dollars on me. It was so much fun. And I ate my first empanda. EW. NASTY. No me gusta empanadas. Like no. But It was cool being able to talk to people and buy things.
Our district is being destroyed and reconstructed with a new district. But our named is still District 2. EL MEJOR.
Elder Cowan and our Brazialans are leaving us. I am so sad. Oh well life goes on.

THE BEST THING THIS WEEK.
My Mission President cam to the CCM and spoke to us. He is from Brazil and guess what. I understood everything he said. Guys I understand spanish!!! Feliz día. Anywho I felt like he was a celebrity. He was so sweet and his wife, even sweeter. I love them. love love love. When he came to speak to us at the devotional, he brought like a ton of elders with him. They all knew our names.
Their exact words ¨we have been praying for you and wating for you to come out into the field, we need you.´´
My heart just melted. I am sooooooo excited to go out into the field. Like I want to go now. NOW. NOW. Jk I sitll cant speak Spanish so I am scared.
I cannot believe I only have 2 more weeks left here. AH! Crazy.
Here is spiritual thought I want to leave with you:
I said this on Sunday after I watched on Elder Holland talk-
Be presistant. Remember the name you put on yourself every morning: Jesus Christ. We are His hands on this Earth. We need to be confident, loving, and as bold as He would be.
It doesn´t matter if you are a missionary or a member of the ward or a new convert or whatever. If you belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints you are given the responsibility to represent Him. At all times, in all things, and in all places.
I challenge each of you to pick a Christ like attribute and work on it this week. I am working on Obedience. And dang sometimes its hard to follow little silly rules. But I am trying my hardest to be as Christ was.
Want to talk to a friend about religion, here are some quesitons:
Do you believe in Chirst?
Why do you think Christ established a church when he was on the earth?
Would you have attended that church?
Would you attend His church if it was on the Earth today?

Great news! It is and you can attend this Sunday!!!!
You´re welcome. Just helpin when I can.


I love you and want all of you to read the Book of Mormon. It is so awesomeeeeeeeeeee. AWE-SOME. Read it. Like you´ll love it. I just know it.



K. Running oout of time.

I love you and am so happy here. I logged on and had 21 emails so sorry if I didnt respond :( I only have so much time!! But I love you all the same. thank you for everything!
Line of week:
Hermana Gibby dressed up in a really ridiculous outfit and sat on Hermana MacRaes bed and waited for her to get out of the shower.
Hermana MacRae´s response to seeing Hna. Gibby
¨You look like a Lamanite warrior¨
hahahhaha I just love them. Sista forevs.


Les amo! Gracias por sus oracions y por su amor. Yo pienso sobre ustedes cada día. Yo sé que esta iglesia es verdadera y esta iglesia es la iglesia de Jesucristo sobre la teirra hoy.
I love you! till next week!!!
