week 68:

Hi Everyone,

I love you all so much.  I know I say it all the time but it is because I totally mean it!

Mom, you are an angel for helping me with my school registration.  I really wish I could be more help but I need to concentrate on the work and you are taking a load off me by doing it.  It would be so hard doing it by myself from here.

I am a little nervous to come home.  It will be so strange getting back into the normal life.  It is so close now--only ten weeks!  That's so crazy.  Okay, end of rant!  It is going to be so weird not having a companion.  Mom, you will have to be my bff and I will follow you around all day!

I think Mom's love of dogs has rubbed off on me and now I have fleas because I love dogs.  My legs are terrible because of flea bites.  HORRIBLE.    Oh well, battle scars right.

ALso, I LOVE HERMANA LOPEZ. We are lilke SUCH good friends. 

I think I told you last week that I was asked to play the piano at church.  I don't play the piano!  I told them i can't play. Also only 20 people came to church this Sunday, and 4 of them were us missionaries. It is so hard to get used to! But it is growin' on me. 

Can't wait to see your all your faces! 

Love,

Hermana Watt

For those keeping track-only 71 more days

Week 67: I LOVE YOU!

Hola,

I just want you to know that I love you so much, and I was SO happy to see everyone on Skype.  Thank you all for being there so that I could see all of you! I can't believe how big Emily and Hattie are!


Right now I am in a place called Illapel! It is totally New Harmony in Chlie, and they actually asked me to play the piano. Too bad Allie isn't here because I know NOTHING.  I am still a Sister Training Missionary.

Can't wait to hug you all!

Love,

Hermana Watt

Week 66: I AM SAFE AND PROTECTED

There has been a lot of news about Chile lately with the volcano eruption.  Just so no one will worry, the eruption is not where Kamryn is and in fact she never heard of it happening as stated in her last email to Amber.

Also, there was a story in the news about four sister missionaries who were attacked in Chile.  This happened in the Concepcion Mission.  Kamryn is the Vina del Mar mission.

Here is what she said about that:

"I just want you to know that here, we are super okay and protected, especially 
where i live. We live in a gated complex, and they are super safe. I am 
in a really good area, and my mission is a pretty safe mission in general (: No 
worries!"

She is busy in the work and enjoying her mission and the people of Chile!

She and her companion, Sister Morris, made cookies for the Elders.  The picture below looks like they really enjoyed them!  

People in Chile tie their horses up at their houses.  There is a picture of that here as well!
