Season 2 Episode 15 " Perseverance Pit-Stop

So this week has been an interesting one...We have had a couple of different experiences with food, us being silly, our pit-stops and of course our real lessons so here are a few stories from this week..

FOOD - We had lunch with a very nice sister from our ward who decided that we needed to eat as much as about three normal people. This led to me wanting to puke my guts out trying to finish all of the food. Heywood had to take a breather and we both walked home wanting to die. Then later on we were able to have lunch with Alberto (the pic with the guy without a shirt is Alberto). He was prepping everything outside and needless to say a bunch of dirt got all up in our food. I was grossed out and did not want to eat any of it, luckily he started throwing all of the bones to the dogs so that was a good way out of actually eating it. On about Thursday this week we clapped in front of an investigators door and instead of her coming outside her chicken walks out the front door. However, that was not the funny part, the funny part was when I saw that this chicken had a fried egg in its mouth. That is right folks we have a cannibalistic Chicken on our hands... It was realllllyyyy weird. 

no shoes, no shirt, no PROBLEM

SILLY SISTERS - So we did some weird things that might be somewhat silly or just funny to us. Either way, it all started when we went to find our investigator Candi. We got to her house and her dad told us that she had moved, but then he gave us the address where we could find her. So we go and are looking for the Ancap (a gas station) and we cant find it and so we decided to ask these two guys that were sitting out front of a store. Turns out that about five feet away, meaning that we should have been able to see the sign for it when we asked where it was but we didn't. To make it even better when we got to the 'house' it turned out to be a gym where she was working out and not an actual house. This week we were able to watch "Meet the Mormons" and we both just started crying and laughing... Have no fear there were a mixture of happy tears and trunky tears (you try watching the missionary leaving his family without shedding a few tears)... 

Then in a lesson where the lady tells us that she is actually a member she also gave us water with gas - IT IS THE WORST!! I do not see how they could make water gross but they did. SO she gives it to us and then goes back inside, so we might have dumped our water out in the bushes so we didn't have to drink it... We cleaned the church again and this week we had 2 frogs in the church with us. We went to push what we thought was the dead frog into a trash sack and it jumped - so we screamed like little girls. Then when we took it outside to throw it away we saw the biggest TARANTULA I have ever seen just hanging out at the church... 

PIT-STOPS - So we have a new tradition and it is called the Perseverance Pit-Stop. There were a few different times this week where we needed to just take a little break. The first one was when we needed some more water because we were both really dehydrated and it was really hot outside. Then the next one was a day where none of our investigators where at home and we bought an alfajor and some more water. Then the next one came when it started to be really really stormy outside and we got really wet so we stopped at a bakery and bought some bizcochos. 

FELIZ CUMPLE - RENZO

LESSONS - We had  stand out lessons this week. The first was with a less active family, they have a son who is our investigator that has autism and his little brother. We were able to talk a lot about our weaknesses becoming strengths, because they have a few things that they are trying really hard to overcome with no success. But it was a great experience to be able to tell them that they are always going to have the Savior helping them and that they can overcome anything they try hard enough with. The second was when we met this guy without any beliefs in anything and we were able to tell him about our beliefs. It was really sad when he told us that his parents had passed away and that they were gone for good. I have never felt the Saviors love stronger for anyone than I did in that moment when I saw the saddness that he felt based on his belief that they we are separated forever. I was so glad to at least testify to him about what we know to be the truth. The best one by far was when we were able to talk to Alberto and he was able to tell us that he is happy and loves God. Seeing his change has been absolutely incredible and being able to see the light in his eyes when he talks about the Gospel is so great... 

The challenge this week is to just take a pit-stop. Take a few minutes today, tomorrow, whenever and think about where you are. Maybe this means turning off the phone or the TV and being able to appreciate where you are and the lovely things around you. Also being able to remember the things that you know and the truths of the Gospel that can help you through all of the hard times in life. And of course the best types of pit-stops include a snack. 

I love you and hope that you all have a great week and that you can persevere through all of your struggles. 

Until next week....Hermana Sanovich 

Season 2 Episode 14 "OHHH We´re HALFWAY there!!" (3-6-17)

Hermana Sanovich 9 months

Season 2 Episode 14 "OHHH... 

We´re HALFWAY there!!"

So this week as some of you may have noticed we completed 9 MONTHS in the mission. So that makes us mission OLD! No, it just means that we are now on the downhill slide of the mission. Its just a little weird but its all good. This week has been a crazy one so I'm going to give you some highlights and a few fun facts.

The one with 9 months - meaning our HUMP DAY! We were able to go to Brazil and we ate some really really delicious Brazilian Buffet where they walk around with all of the different meat on skewers. I have really no idea what kind of meat it was, but it was delicious and I somehow feel like that works better. We then bought a cake that is by far the closest thing to cheesecake (my favorite) that I think they have here in South America, it was delicious. The day ended by us burning a skit. (NO skirts were harmed in the making of this video). Okay so none of OUR skirts were harmed but ya the other one did die... All in the name of good fun. The next day we traveled to Salto for our interviews and we were able to celebrate with the other Hermanas as well our 9 months with some really good pizza. 

Burning of the SKIRT - No Video attached :(

Salto Conferencia - Thursday we were able to have our Zone Conference with President Olsen and it was a good one. He talked to us about all of the different rules that we have but then he taught us a little bit more about the Atonement and how we are all able to use it every single day in our lives. It was a great conference and I learned a lot from our President, he also gave us a bunch of advice to help us all stay motivated and enjoy the mission. When I talked to him in my interview we talked about how his biggest piece of advice for me in these next 9 months was to just be happy and enjoy it. So that is the plan - I am going to enjoy every single minute of the mission and of life in general because we are here to be happy! FUN FACT: we were waiting in the terminal and then out of nowhere we saw President Olsen and his Assistants walk in to go to Subway. He offered to buy us lunch and a drink but we had already eaten. Then he came back and bought us all fries from Burger King. 

The Hermana's

The ongoing joke for us is that the success that we were able to have for the next couple of days comes from the magical french fries. Its the little things that we find funny here.

Newbies - We were able to take the challenge of President Olsen to find new investigators and we were able to find four in just one day!! That is something that we have never done and that doesn't happen often. They are great! It really just goes to show that when you put your mind to things and have a goal and plans to reach it anything is possible.

Experience - One of the new investigators that we met this week is actually married to a less active member that we found by accident one day. We were looking for a different house and had not planned to be anywhere near this area, however I am convinced that God works in mysterious ways and there are no coincidences. We got to there house and they told us that earlier that day they had talked about them both wanting to go back to church. We were able to talk with them and then the husband Walter just looks at us really seriously and says "If someone were to come up to you on the street and held a gun to your face saying that if you denied the entire church you could walk away unharmed but if not they would shoot you... What would you do?" This question was a little starling at first however we were able to tell him that we are hoping that we all can have the faith and testimony big enough to stand up for what we know to be true even in these circumstances.

This leads me right into the challenge of this week--- I was reading the Liahona from Conference in October and I found a talk that I love!!! I would love it if you have the chance to read it "To Whom Shall We GO?" It talks about how there were some of Christs followers that walked away and decided to leave him after they had seen all of the miracles and had been there first hand. He makes a comparison that is incredible he says " Brothers and sisters, accepting and living the gospel of Christ can be challenging. It has always been thus, and it ever will be. Life can be like hikers ascending a steep and arduous trail. It is a natural and normal thing to occasionally pause on the path to catch our breath, to recalculate our bearings, and to reconsider our pace. Not everyone needs to pause on the path, but there is nothing wrong with doing so when your circumstances require. In fact, it can be a positive thing for those who take full advantage of the opportunity to refresh themselves with the living water of the Gospel of Christ. The danger comes when someone chooses to wander away from the path that leads to the tree of life. Sometimes we can learn, study, and know, and sometimes we have to believe, trust, and hope."
This is my challenge to all of you, remember your testimonies that you have and to grow them even more. I know that this church is true and that we are part of the restoration of the gospel in the latter days. Elder Ballard reminds us that the Restoration of the Gospel did not end with the prophet Joseph Smith, nor with the pioneers crossing the plains into Utah. BUT that we all can be part of restoring the gospel in our own lives, in our families and even in the lives of those around us. I could not be happier about the choice that I made about a year ago when I opened and read that letter that told me that I would be serving a mission in URUGUAY!! 

I will be forever grateful for this experience, I plan on enjoying every minute of it. LES AMO!!! (I love them)

Season 2 Episode 13 "Some people are worth Melting for" Frozen (2-27-17)

Season 2 Episode 13 "Some people are worth Melting for" (Frozen)

SALTO - It's Beautiful here

So this week has been the HOTTEST week ever. We would go outside and just feel the heat instantly hit us. Not to mention that it is really humid so we end up sticky at the end of the day but that's totally normal right? This week instead of doing a day by day, play by play I decided to give you all the run down of the people that we have visited this week. 

Herman's not feeling so GREAT!

Juan Manuel - (our friend that speaks English and is in a wheelchair). We went to his house on Tuesday after it had rained a little bit and we were able to share the Restoration with him. however it wasn't our average lesson because it was in ENGLISH!! That was the first time that we had actually taught someone about the gospel in English and it was surprisingly harder than I thought it would be. We luckily were able to show him the movie and that was a cool experience.

Luciana - She has three kids but when we went to her house on Wednesday there were about five or six of them in her house. They were all playing with a type of homemade play dough. I had a little flashback to weekends at my grandmas house when we would do the same thing. However, they were playing with paint to have it be different colors... Needless to say it was hilarious to watch them all interact with each other and try to paint athe play dough all at once. We were able to teach her about the commandments and how we are blessed when we follow them. Then we decided to ask her about her experience with everything and she told us that she wants an answer and that she hasn't received one yet, so we are going to work with her this next week on that. 

FUTBOL

Roxeanne & Madre - They are less active member that we visited one day after all of our plans fell through. we had a feeling to go and visit them and it was a good thing that we did. Roxeanne has a couple of things mentally wrong with her and it was a bad day with her disorders so our visit was a little out of the ordinary. She started begging Hermana Heywood for her skirt and then she wanted my shirt, when we told her no she got up and ran to her room. She then came back with a skirt in her hand that doesn't fit her anymore that she wanted to give to me as a gift. Not going to lie it was a weird experience, but her mom thanked us for bringing the spirit into their home so that made it all worth it. Plus I now have a skirt from Roxeanne so I feel special. 

Nver - (I thought it was Nedir but its not) She is a little out there we visited her twice this week and the first time was a little weird because she started telling us about this guy that was coming over to her house all the time and then about her family. Then when we went back she was very concerned about us and making sure that we were comfortable and living safely in Bella Union. (NO mom its not a sketchy area, shes just a little weird). We were able to share a few different parts of the plan of salvation so we are hoping to visit her a little bit this next week too. 

Alberto

Alberto- He is amazing!! He has totally changed his life around, but it wasn't because of the LDS missionaries. He use to drink, do drugs and was into some pretty bad stuff. Then a pastor from a different religion helped him get out of his situation about 5 years ago. Then about a month or so ago the other Hermanas found him and started teaching him. He told us when we visited him that he only wants to come to church with us and wants to be a permanent part of it, it was incredible. 

The same day about five minutes later, he starts to fall off of his chair in slow motion. We couldn't do anything until he was already on the floor laughing about the whole thing. It was by far one of the funniest experiences that I have had while teaching someone. We got to talk to him another time this week and then he came to church on Sunday and told us that he is praying for us and he wants us to come and teach him more. It was such a tender mercy to have him be so willing to change his life because he felt it was true. 

Some OTHER funny things

1- There have been a billion frogs outside

2- Everyday we are melting because of the heat 

3- Someone told me it was 50 C (that's HOT, for those who don't know) 

4- It was Carnaval this week again so we got to hear the party outside our door

5- Saturday we got new keys for the gate in front of our building. Sunday we climbed that gate because the key doesn't work... 

Map of the Hermana's Area

Challenge - This week we focused on being happy and focusing on the important things, and trying not to focus on the heat. This leads to part of a talk I heard yesterday in church where he told us that 
"change is inevitable but growing is optional" Something like that... SO the challenge this week is to look at the things that you are going through, problems challenges, experiences, whatever it may be... AND focus on what you are learning and make it a growing and learning experience. 

I just wanted to tell you that I love you all and hope that you have a great week jumping into the month of MARCH!!! That is crazy but exciting at the same time. 

Love , Hermana Cassidy Sanovich 

Season 2 Episode 12 "Carnaval Craziness" (2-20-17)

Season 2 Episode 12 
"Carnaval Craziness"

So this week has been a whirlwind of different events and only one of them is the Carnaval that was going on right in front of our house. It all started on Tuesday...

Carnaval

Tuesday - well it was an average morning contacting in Bella Union we were able to meet a bunch of different people so that was exciting. After lunch we were able to go out and we taught Kevin and his family a little bit. It was all good until we were leaving their house and about 10 minutes later we did not feel good. So we are pretty sure that we got food poisoning from the pizza that we ate there. Needless to say it was a weird end to the day. 

Wednesday - We were able to teach a new investigator about the Restoration of the Gospel and that was awesome. In the afternoon we visited with Ruben and Stefi who have been their investigators for awhile and we were able to talk to them about coming to church. We also taught Luciana and her daughter and they are progressing really well, they just need to find a way to come to church on Sunday. Then we had a family home evening where we talked about talents and Hermana Heywood made some cookies that were delicious. Lucky for me she really does have a talent for cooking. 

Thursday - We did our planning during the morning and it was a little cloudy so we were going to put on our rain boots and be rain ready for when we were ready to leave for the afternoon. We left and were able to talk to Edgar, he got baptized recently, and then it started to storm like crazy. It was raining and there was a bunch of lightening that was strikingly close, so we decided to go home and wait out the storm. We ran back to the apartment and we got SOAKED... It did not clear up so we ended up staying inside the rest of the night. 

Carnaval 2017

Friday - We woke up to lightening and thunder that was not stopping, so we waited it out until after lunch. Then we left and the sun even came out to say hello and that was fantastic. We were able to visit our investigator Alberto who told us that he cant understand us when we speak Russian. We were actually speaking Spanish but its all good, there are just days when he doesn't understand us at all. After we left his house we were able to visit Roxanne and her mom and they told us how much they needed to feel the spirit so that made my day. We then visited our Investigator Enzo and his family who are all less active members, and it was a really good discussion that we ended up having with his mom and dad. Then at about 8 pm we had to go back to our house because CARNAVAL!!! SO as it turns out being on the border of Brazil means that we celebrate their holidays too. We actually live inside the borders of where they close off the roads for the parade, so we heard the music from the comfort of our own home. 

Saturday - We went back to teach Rosana about the Book of Mormon, and that was really fun to see her start to understand more about the church. Then in the afternoon we met some new people and shared a little bit with them. We also met a new investigator Nedir who we met on the walk back to our house. Once again we were in early and it was a good thing too because it was a crazy party. They were SO loud and the music was at such a high volume that our apartment walls were vibrating. I also heard some fireworks at about 4 am so that was exciting. 

Sunday - So the festivities end at about 6 am the next day of the three days of Carnaval, needless to say there were not a bunch of people at church at 9 and those that had gone were absolutely exhausted. However, Alberto was able to come and that made us really excited. We had lunch with Kevinds family and then we got back to the house to study. When we left we were able to visit Edgar, it is incredible to see how converted he is to serving the Lord. We then got on a bus to come to Salto. About 2 hours later we were in the house of the Herman's that live here watching the movie Legacy until it was time to go to sleep. 

Monday - We were up and at em and good to go at around 8 am this morning. On a bus at around 820. Then to a meeting about self-reliance at 9 and then we played soccer at 1030, for about two hours and now we are here writing. The plans are to go to the bus terminal, eat some lunch and then chill until we get on a bus to go home, once we get home we will go to our house and go to bed. OH p-day ;) 

Challenge - We discussed a little bit about the pioneers this week and it was such a reminder of Faith and Strength to me that it influenced the challenge for this week. This week I want you all to think about the pioneers in the church for you, it could be a few generations back or even yourself and learn about how they came to know the church. Then I want you to think of some way that you can be a pioneer for someone else. It doesn't have to be something church or gospel related, but I can promise you that we are all paving the way for those behind us. 

I wanted to Thank you for your examples to me and the strength and support not only during the mission but my entire life. 

I love you all and hope that you can have a fantastic week. 

Love, 

Hermana Cassidy Sanovich 

Season 2 Episode 11 ¨Sanovich and Heywood Take Salto¨ (02-13-17)

Season 2 Episode 11 ¨Sanovich and Heywood Take Salto¨

SO the biggest thing that happened this week was CHANGES!! It was a crazy week...here is a general play by play of what happened. 

Hermana Sanovich with her NEW COMP Hermana Heywood

Monday - We got the call from President Olsen telling us about our changes at around 630 pm. So we went back to the house and we started cleaning it like crazy. Then I got to start packing all of my stuff into my bags. I think that I finished around 1 am Tuesday morning so that was exciting. 

Tuesday - We got up and I put some more stuff in my suitcases and then we got ready to go and teach some people. Nobody was home so instead I got to say goodbye to some of the people that I have gotten to know there. We packed up everything and we left the house around 7 pm to get on our bus at around 830 pm that night. Leaving Momi Cabrera was really hard but she is the best to help us leave with all clean clothes and helped me with my bags to get to the bus. We got to Montevideo around 11 at night and waited there until about 1230 the next morning. 

Wednesday - We ended up sleeping on the floor in the apartment of some Hermanas that live not too far from the terminal there so that was good. Then at around 7 we left and got to drop off Hermana Kahn at the terminal, where I got to see Hermana Trujillo because everyone that was finishing their missions were there waiting to get on the bus and go home. That was awesome to see her, but really weird to think that she is going home. Then I stayed in the terminal until about 1 pm when I got on a bus to head to Salto. At around 7 pm I got to the terminal in Salto where I got to meet up with my new comp HERMANA HEYWOOD. We ate some food and then we waited until about 10 pm for our bus to take us up to our area. 

 JUAN Manuel - Hermana's new bff

Thursday - We get to Bella Union at around 1230 in the morning and luckily this member was able to help me move my stuff up the stairs into our apartment. I was dead after that so we slept and it was fantastic. Then that morning we did some planning and cleaned out our house a little bit because the Herman's didn't have time to do that before changes. Then we got to visit this awesome guy named Alberto that got baptized last Saturday and that was awesome. We also got to eat lunch with FLIA Portugese- they are all really nice. It was a good day, and we got to teach a couple of other people too before the end of the day. 

Friday - We took a little adventure this morning and we went to buy groceries in Brazil. We are the furthest point North that Uruguay has, we have a border with Brazil that is part of our area. It is a cool little area that I will be sending more pics of as we take them. We taught about three different families and that was awesome. 

 "When you just smell really bad after a humid day"

Saturday - We contacted during the morning because we couldn't find the address that we were looking for. Then we went to lunch with a lady that was really nice. However when we got home from lunch we both were a little sick so that wasn't the funnest thing but it was okay. After that we were able to go and teach Edgar an investigator that is struggling to leave his other church even though he already has a testimony that the church is true. We then contacted a little bit, and we had the chance to meet the coolest family. The son is 28 and is in a wheelchair but he has an incredible amount of faith to overcome his challenges. They are the cutest and sweetest and we are excited to see them again soon.

Us - Bella Union, Uruguay

Sunday - We went to church and that was a little weird because it was  bunch of different people in a new building but it was good. The weirdest part was that sacrament is the last thing of the day so that is a little odd. It was good, I was able to meet a bunch of people in the ward and introduce myself for just a second. We got to visit Edgar again and then we had to get on a bus. Turns out that Sunday night we travel to sleepover with the other Herman's in Salto to be here Monday for our district meeting... 

Well it was a crazy week for me and this week (tomorrow) is VALENTINES DAY!! 

I want to wish you all a Happy Valentines Day and my hope that as the challenge this week you can spread the love that you have and the love that the Savior has for all of us with others. 

Thank you all for your love and support.

Love, Hermana Cassidy Sanovich

Saying Goodbye is Hard - so making a Crazy face makes it not seem so hard...

Season 2 Episode 10 "The winds of change" (2-6-17)

Season 2 Episode 10 "The winds of change"

So this week has been absolutely crazy and to be honest time has slipped away from me today, so I apologize in advance if this is not the best email in the world but it is what we have for this week.

Hermana with a bunch of Hermano's (hahaha)
Elder Del Aguila, Elder Baird, Elder Ornano, Hermana Sanovich, Elder Chatwin (me), and Elder Good

Lets jump right in shall we - so Tuesday it rained, but we were able to find 2 new investigators who are 19 and 21 so that was awesome. Then later that night we went to visit an investigator that wants us to come to her house every Tuesday, which is awesome because it is the only thing that is consistent. So we ended up at her house and she had made us dinner which was really sweet of her only that it was about 9 o'clock at night and she wanted us both to eat 3 hamburgers each. So we got home and went straight to bed with happy and really full tummies. 

Blurry Selfie - Planning

Wednesday - We were up really early to go to Montevideo to take a picture to be a legal citizen of Uruguay at least for a little bit.  Then we were able to come home and visit Raul a little bit and we met a little old lady who wanted us to sing to her and she was so happy to just have us be with her. The whole day was a really long one filled with a bunch of different type of experiences. Of course Montevideo means AMERICAN FOOD!! Its probably the best thing about going to Tres Cruces (a city in Montevideo)

Thursday - We did our planning as usual that's how our Thursday mornings go. Then we also got to out and contact - which is an average afternoon here in Nueva Helvecia. One of these contacts was absolutely hilarious, so we go to the door and this guy who is like 19 comes to the door and starts talking to us and then just starts laughing. He then leaves and then two other guys (his brothers) come to the door and at this point we were all laughing. I'm not sure what we were laughing about but it was a great way to break the ice. We then got to visit Mario and Pocha and to visit them is such a blessing. Mario cant leave his bed because he has some serious medical issues and Pocha has some serious medical stuff as well so, they are unable to come to church. But every time that we visit them the spirit is so strong in their house... 

Branch Meeting

Friday - The biggest thing that we did was have our activity again. We had a scavenger hunt in the church to learn about the things in life that we need to be truly happy. It was a great activity and we got to laugh and learn all together. 

Saturday - We taught Raul, Josefa and Nelson all together and that was interesting. Nelson got a little sidetracked talking about the USA and the changes in the government but other than that little detour it went really well. Then when we were walking home we pass by a bar and Hermana Kahn starts to trip and the guy sitting outside drinking says "Don't drink anymore" which then we chuckled and I yell back "You guys shouldn't either"... It was a little funny moment that just shows that you can share the Gospel in the funniest of ways.. ;) 

Branch Meeting - Love that Smile

Sunday - We have a New Branch Presidency and we are excited to work with them. The new President is Willy Rohrer (he lives in the town right close by), with Hermano Silva (the teacher for Gospel Doctrine) and then the other counselor is Hermano Aritsimunho(he is from Artigas) and the secretary is his 18 year old son Pablo Aritsimunho... SO we are happy to be able to all work together to help grow the branch. 

Monday - So we are patiently (or impatiently) waiting to hear about the changes that will be coming our way a little later today. I was hoping to be able to tell you all about it but it looks like we've got a "to be continued" on our hands... 

Desafio (Challenge) - BE POSITIVE!!! I love that we are studying President Hinckley recently, he is always talking about being optimistic. So this challenge is that everyday when you get home for the night to say (with whoever is there with you, or alone) " Today was a good DAY". It is also important to then start out the morning telling yourself and others " today is going to be a great day"... I know that the way we look at things and our perspective is what can bring us true happiness. No matter the circumstance we can always be positive...we can make that choice.

Hermana's Tan lines (oh her poor feet)

I love you and I am wishing you all a happy week ahead because I know that it will be a great one. 

Chao for now, 

Hermana Sanovich
