Happy turkey day! November 25, 2013
Hola hola hola kiddos!
I sure hope everybody`s week was swell, because mine was!
So after last P Day, which was Tuesday, was Wednesday. Obviously. I`m starting to sound like Rebecca Black. Anywho, so Wednesday we did Divisions. But like for real for real divisions this time, not just the mini divisions we did the week before. Hermana Olson and Hermana Goode went together in our area, and me and Hermana Ramirez went together in our area as well. So you know what that meant? Yep, that meant I had to lead our area for a day. To someone who speaks next to no English. Gah scary!
But guess what? It was AWEEEEEEESOME.
So we had a few lessons with menos activos, (which I had to lead). It was the first time I`ve been the one to make all the small talk and ask about people`s families and start the lesson and everything. And I understood e v e r y t h i n g. En serio. And Hermana Ramirez and I were able to communicate pretty well too, while we were walking in the street and everything. So on that end of things, it was an amazing day! It gave me the confidence that I will actually survive when I get a Latina companion (which I pray I get right after I`m done training. You pick up Spanish in a heartbeat with a Latino companion.) Also, we did a lot of contacting, and we came to this house with this AWESOME awesome awesome woman named Natalia. We actually found her talking to her son, who is friends with Nicolas. He and Nicolas were out on the street and we asked if his parents were home. So anywho, he said yes and that we could go chat with her. We taught the first lesson to her, and she was SO receptive! One part of the first lesson (which in our mission is centered only on prayer), is we invite them to pray right then. She was really timid to, so we told her we could all kneel and she could say a silent prayer and when she aid "en el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen", we knew she`d be finished. She actually said a really long prayer and teared up a little bit, and then told us she felt so much peace! She is a capa and I`m so excited to teach her more!
Hermana Ramirez is s e n s a t i o n a l. She dies in March, so she`s got a lot of experience. And when she`s not her perky, princess, high-pitched voice self, she has this voice that can bring a Spirit like no other!
The Lord definitely gave me a lot of confidence on Wednesday through those divisions!
We met the new peeps in our zone on Thursday, and this change it`s a BUNCH of Americans! Our District now only has 3 Latinos. It`s gonna be SAWEET. We also got a new kid in the mish in Rivera. He lives across the street from us, and his dad is Elder Rodriguez. Not gonna lie, it is so nice knowing more than at least one person instead of being the one that`s totally lost haha. I know, sad, but don`t worry, I`m helping him out as much as I can! He`s still got that bambi look on his face, which is embarrassing because I looked at him and though "yep. I must have looked like that."
I know, look at me, I`m all growed up (almost.)
The best part of the week was Saturday. B A P T I S M!
I don`t know if I`ve written yet about the Araujo family. If not, that`s ridiculous, because they`re one of our favorite families. They`re a less active family. The mom, Ana, is 32. She got married when she was only 15, and had two kids with her first husband: Cristian (16) and Niki (14). Then she got divorced, remarried again, and had Cecilia (8). Then got married again, and had Vitoria (2.) Her and her last husband Pedro got baptized together, a little while after Niki and Cristian got baptized. But right now they`re separated (although a prob in Uruguay is that everyone lives right next store to their family. So Pedro is living with his mom, who is just three houses down. I know, awk.) Anywho, they`re having a lot of challenges, so we visit them a LOT. Ana is the sassiest Uruguayan I have ever met. Ceci is the one who got baptized. So technically it wasn`t a missionary baptism, but we still count her as ours because the family was almost inactive before we started teaching her. Cristian baptized her, and it was so sweet how nervous he looked and how she started crying. Poor girl`s been waiting for months, but because of a lot of logistical stuff just barely got to. So she was SO excited! It was the sweetest thing, and reminded me of when my brother baptized me. Great memory. I love the Araujo family. Cristian and Niki are super sassy like their mom (and make fun of my gringa accent, but in a super funny way.) Ceci is the SWEETEST 8 year old in this whole darn world, and Vitoria is just a cute albeit crazy wild child who is most definitely the epitome of the terrible twos. Love them.
Anywho, just a really great week! Carol`s been out of town, but we have a lesson with her tonight. Hopefully it all goes well!
Just a couple quick facts right before I go a spiritual on you guys.
I think the thing I miss most about when I speak Spanish is the English slang. Like the word "swell." I forget that even the Latinos who know English, don`t know a word like swell. The other day, I told Elder Torres, the ZL who is from Ecuador, that he`s really swell. And he got a super confused look on his face and started looking around to see what part of his body had swollen. Hahaha bless his heart.
I really really miss the following things:
peanut butter
syrup
spicy food
zip up hoodies (they sell American brands here for literally $90-$100
wearing sweats on rainy days
and then, naturally, every single one of you.
Also, my least favorite question en el mundo right now:
"do you have a boyfriend?"
Double worse that they always ask Hermana Goode first, and her answer is yes. So then they give me a look of pity when I say now.
But then I remember I have a line of suitors at home, and I feel way better. (hang in there guys. just 15 months.)
Okay, spirit time:
I was reading in Alma the other day, and I read one of my favorite scriptures, Alma 26:12, which says:
12 Yea, I know that I am anothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will bnot boast of myself, but I will cboast of my God, for in his dstrength I can do all ethings; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
ometimes, in life, and most DEFINITELY as a missionary, I wonder if I`m capable of doing great things. As a missionary, if I will really learn Spanish. If I will really bring somebody to the waters of baptism. But I love this scripture for two reasons:
1. It reminds us that MANY MIGHTY m i r a c l e s CAN be worked, through the Lord. In His strength, we can do all things.
2. It`s not about us! It is all about HIM. We are simply instruments in His hands. His timing. His methods. He will work miracles through us, if we put our trust in HIm. He`s already given us that promise, as with Alma.
Ask the Lord, and He will strenghten you. Then, praise His name forever.
Remember, WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!
That`s all in this week in Uruguay. It`s Thanksgiving this week, which they don`t celebrate here obviously. But I just want to take a minute as time is short to say I am so thankful for this Gospel. I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and for a loving Father in Heaven. I`m thankful for the strength i have in Them. I`m thankful families are forever. I`m thankful for Uruguay, and I`m thankful I get to be a missionary. I`m thankful for all of the examples in my life and for who I am because of them. And I`m just so thankful for the hope of this Gospel. And of course, I`m thankful for every single one of you, and your support and kindness.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!

also, the t shirts are our zone t shirts we just got today. HOLLA. Rivera es siòn!
me and Elder Childers and Nelson. Childers is dying. Cry.
Dying means he is going home......

22! 22! We Love You, 22! November 19, 2013
Hey hey hey my loyal readers!
How was everyone's week? I hope it all went well for all of you. Beeteedubs, if you don`t know what that subject line means, please go and watch A League of Their Own. Right. Now. Honestly the subject has no significance to the week, other than in the Free Shops here they make you put your stuff in a locker before you go shop so that you don't steal anything. My locker number was 22, and it was kind of sad that I had no one to laugh at my fantastic quote. So, please go watch it. (shout out to my Poulsen peeps. I love you guys!)
Alrighty so this week had a lot of special little moments as always, and then one really big one!
First of all, remember Nicolas, the adorable ten year old who last week stopped us? Whose little friend Luis told us "God bless you?" Well, we were walking past his house again last week, and saw him, so we went up to go talk to him. And he goes "I`m sorry I didn`t go to church on Sunday, but it was raining way too hard." And we`re both sitting there thinking "first of all, he was going to go to church?" (no one invited him, he was just going to go.) And second of all, "what ten year old apologizes for not going?" Gaaah why is he so perfect? We met his little brother Juan last week who is 9 and we`ll be going to meet his mom hopefully tonight. Fingers crossed (people work super weird hours here.) Gah he is perfect. I want to adopt him and take him home with me.
On Wednesday, we did mini divisions with Hermana Olson and Hermana Ramirez. I went with Hna Olson to their area for a few hours and Hna Ramirez went with Hna Goode to ours. It was awesome! Hermana Olson is a complete rockstar! We contacted quite a bit and it was so empowering! We talked to one guy who was standing outside his house with tattoos and a cigarette, who only spoke Portugese. But we actually understood quite a bit of what he was saying, and he told us his parents both died when he was little and for that he doesn't believe in a God. But you know what? He believes. You could see it in his eyes. He`s just angry. We stood there and told him about how we are all children of a God who loves us and we can be with our families again. He talked to us for quite awhile, and you could tell he was starting to feel something. Unfortunately, right when you could tell he was, that's when he just got scared and told us he had to go. But what was amazing to see the change in his countenance. The Spirit really is sensational. And, it just gets more and more special to see the way my heart breaks for people who feel that sort of sorrow and anger. I challenge all of you to pray for charity and the pure love of Christ, because I know firsthand that the Lord will answer. That`s what he`s been doing for me.
On Thursdays we have our activities with the youth. Nicolas came, and a ten year old girl named Yesica that we`re teaching too! I love love LOVE the youth activities, because they talk to me a lot in spite of my limited Spanish knowledge. Plus, they think I`m funny. Proof that the youth know what`s up, because let`s face it, I`m HILARIOUS. They also like watching me tell stories to Elder Lufi in English, because I get really excited and animated. I LOVE THE YOUTH.
ATTENTION TO EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE. You know how they say that when it comes to the gospel, you should never give up on people? We have FIRSTHAND PROOF OF THIS, which is the absolute best thing that happened this week. Remember Sol, the little girl who got baptized a few weeks ago? Remember her mom, who has been an eternal investigator for, like, five years? Well, we`ve been talking to her more about baptism, and she`s been saying that she wants to be more sure, more excited like Sol was, before she gets baptized. Hna Ramirez and Hna Goode went and talked to her on Wednesday about Moroni`s promise at the end of the book of Mormon, and challenged her to really pray, because they knew she`d get the answer. And then she started crying, and said "I know I need to be baptized. I want to be a part of what my daughters have." Now I speak to anyone serving a mission, is going to serve, or has served and isn't sure they were successful. Carol has been meeting with the missionaries for FIVE YEARS. I bet at least some of those missionaries thought they failed with her, but now she is getting baptized! (we`re still figuring out which day in the next couple weeks.) NEVER GIVE UP ON ANYBODY. Every single one of those missionaries was a part of Carol`s conversion process, and now she is just steps away from the waters of baptism! I am so thankful for the Lord and the miracles he works in the hearts of the children of men. Some may take a day, some may take a lifetime, but those who he has prepared, will come in their own time unto their Savior Jesus Christ.
Just a couple fun facts:
In Sunday School this last Sunday, I was trying to talk about the story of Peter and Jesus Christ and "do you love me? Feed my ship." Well I was talking about fishing, but I made the most derp obvious mistake you can make in Spanish. So there is "pescar", which is to fish, and "pecar", which is to sin. Well, I said Peter was "pecando" and then everyone looked at me really confused until Hermana Goode tapped me and was like "pescando, pescando!" Hahaha pray for me.
One of our semi activos, Carlos, a couple weeks ago started to tell a joke every time we visited him, because we started to ask if he had one. Well, a little over a week ago, he asked me if I had any, to which I replied "I have a bunch in English, but none in Spanish." And he said "tell one in English. I understand everything." (he understands nada in English, we just always jokingly tell him he does.) So now, every time we visit him, he asks for a joke in English. He just waits until I give the cue of going "HA!" And then, this fifty something year old man does the funniest laugh attach I have every seen en mi video. He stomps his feet, rubs his hands together, and has the general appearance of a laughing chimp. Hahaha it`s the best parts of my week when we go and teach Carlos. By the time I`m done in Rivera, I am going to try and have all those jokes translated so he can understand them. Because honestly, they really are funny.
Speaking of staying in Rivera, I`m staying in Rivera! Haha I think I confused some of you. Training lasts 12 weeks, so I`ll be here at least until January 1, but most likely Hermana Goode will be the one to leave. Which means I`ll probably be here until February. But changes are today, which means we had to say goodbye to the Elders that are dying tomorrow and to the other missionaries that are getting transferred. But luckily, Elder Rodriguez, who lives across the street from us, will be training a North American! Which means there`s going to be someone across the street who knows even less Spanish than I do! Boy oh boy, I am SO OLD you guys.
I FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON THIS WEEK! That was the first time I have ever paid so much attention to what I`ve been reading, the WHOLE time I`ve been reading it. I cried when I finished, which hasn`t happened before. I know the book is true. It has ALL the answers. It soothes the soul. It contains words directly from our Father in Heaven, and He preserved it for OUR time because He knew the kind of world we would live in and the hope we can only get through it. Read it! Read it now! Don`t even finish reading this, just go pick up a Book of Mormon and read it!
We went to Coisa Nossa today, which is basically Tucano`s but for half the price. Yeah, I know, I`m in the best place in the world.
Guys. Another miracle happened this week. MEGAN. GAYLE. DOLAN. Ate a pancho. No, that`s not something that guards you from the rain. It`s a Uruguayan hot dog. And I ate one, and LOVED it. And then ate another a couple days later. They have powdered cheese on them and papafritas and hot sauce. Mmmmmmm. (the hot sauce is just an option, but the pancho man always gives us a weird look when we ask for it. haha they don`t do spicy here.) Miracles happen, folks!
Anywho, that`s all for this week, folks. Tune in next week for another exciting edition of the day in the life of Hermana Dolan! I hope you all have the best week ever, and I hope it includes starting to read the Book of Mormon, and watching A League of Their Own! Seriously, I can`t watch it, so it`s your obligation to watch and enjoy on my behalf.
Remember, the sun insists on rising, so make yourself stand! I love you, I love you, I love you!

el Señor siempre està November 11, 2013
Hey kiddos! How the heck are all of ya? Good? Good. I hope good. If not good, then....well, be good.
This week was...phew, just a whole lot of lots! I don`t even know where to start. So, sorry if this seems all over the place.
First off, changes are next week. So that means P Day is on Tuesday. So I`ll be emailing on Tuesday. It also means that Zone and District Meeting will be on Thursday, which gaves you two extra days to send me a letter by emailing the mission email. Don`t let me down!
Alrighty so I`ll start on Tuesday. It was actually a pretty grand day for the most part. Zone and District meeting which is always good. We had some lessons with menos activos. And then that night, we went over to the church because Hermana Goode needed to practice a musical number an older man in the ward wanted to do with her. Then Hermana Olson and Ramirez came over too because Hna Olson was going to do it with her. Well, that`s when my pride set in and I got to thinking about how I can`t sing very well and I don`t play the piano and wahhh wahhh wahhh.....folks, pride`s a vicious cycle. Then that turned into I have nothing to contribute and I will never learn spanish and none of the people here care and wahhhh wahhhh wahhhh. Well a couple of tears squeezed out and I pulled my classic "pretend to yawn so people think that`s where the tears are from" trick. The trick that NEVER works. So Hna Ramirez notices, and takes me into the bathroom and we talk it out in Spanish. Anywho, Hna Ramirez is well, as I`ve said, a princess, and a motherly one at that, so I felt a lot better after my chat with her.
BUT THEN.....so we`re walking home from the ward and I feel better but not as god as I could, when this little boy stops us and says "Are you the Mormons who invited us to the Halloween activitiy?" (we weren`t, it was Hna Olson and Ramirez.) But he INSISTED it was us and not them, and told us his name is Nicolas and he`s ten. And he says "I like you Mormons. Especially you girl Mormons." So we say we`d love to come back and talk to him and his family, and he gets SUPER excited and says yes. So then we keep walking home, because we`re almost late.
But THEN.....so his little friend Luis who was also there, runs after us and yells "wait! Wait!" And we turn around and he says "Que Dios les bendiga!" Which means "God bless you!" Now, let`s talk about the fact that Luis is literally six years old. What six year old runs down the street after two Mormons to say "God bless you" and give us a beso? N O O N E. My heart pretty much melted.
BUT THEN. We turn around to keep walking, and what do I see, but a f a l l i n g s t a r. Now, those who know me well know what a nut I am about astronomy and how excited I must have been. I became immediately aware that the Lord is aware of me and Luis and the falling star were his simple, yet powerful way, of reminding me.
Alrighty so then a blur of a couple days and then....ZONE CONFERENCE!
We went to the lovely Artigas! We had to leave at 3:30 in the morn for a three and a half hour bus ride. Let`s just talk about how funny a bunch of missionaries, who are already tired all the time, are at 3:30. It. Is. Nuts.
Soooo yep. We met up with Zona Artigas and Zona Tacuarembo. President Smith was there (obvi) and the assistants. I had to bear my testimony since all the Oros had to. And I started it out with going "phew....bueno...mmmm bueno. bueno. ok. ok here i go." Haha embarrassing. But everyone laughed. We`ll just pretend they thought I was joking. But I got through it, so it`s all good!
We learned a plethora of things at Zone Conference that I could never even begin to explain, but I`ll just tell you that it was AMAZING and President Smith is AMAZING. En serio. He is SO inspired. And I loved the testimonies from the fieles (the missionaries who will be dying (dying as in finishing their missions)). They all looked so torn at leaving. It gave me even more motivation to live up every moment and make them count, because in so very short a time that will be me. I mean, I am almost done with my first change in the mission field. You know how many I have left? Ten. Only. TEN. I cannot believe it. Time is going so fast. Already Christmas seems like next week, and when that rolls around I`ll have one week left of training! Ahhhhh!
We also found some BOSS people while out contacting. There was this really cute little blue house that we walked past, and I just kept thinking "we have to go there. we have to go there." So finally I asked Hna Goode if we could go back. And, okay, so we have this thing we do sometimes. When the person comes to the door we say we`re looking for somebody (we just say a random name), and then the person usually comes out and gets confused and says there`s no one here by that name. So then we go "Huh. Welllllll....what`s your name?" And that`s how it starts. So the name Hna Goode says this time is "Lucia." Well, the cute little lady at the cute little blue house tells us Lucia actually lives two houses down! Hahahaha. So first she invites us in for cake (which tasted like banana bread. mmmmm and her house smelled like it too) and we talk to her for a bit. THEN she takes us over to meet this mysterious Lucia! And that turns out to also be a cute little old lady! And they both said we could come back and we will be seeing them this week. Haha but just out of all the random names, she turns out to be right there! We have a good feeling about both of them. It`s just like Pres. Smith tells us, "no one does nice things for you if they`re not prepared to hear from you." So we will definitely be going back to them, and to Nicolas and his family, and to some others that we found that i don`t have time to write about!
Yesterday we had THE BIGGEST STORM EVER AND IT WAS SO AWESOME. En serio, I have never en mi vida heard thunder like that before. The only bummer thing about it is people in South America have some sort of fear of rain. That`s a problem, since it tends to rain here. Soooo we had literally 25 people at church, and that`s including us. Speaking of church, i gave my first talk! Yikes. It was a little rough with the spanish at times, but it turned out really great and the Lord F O R S U R E helped me out! Good thing 25 people heard it....bummer. People, just C O M E T O C H U R C H.
Anywho kiddos, that`s all for this week en la vida de Hermana Dolan. All I can say is I have never had anything so hard, but I have also never felt so much joy. This week, I have become even closer to my Savior as He has helped me overcome my challenges and strengthen my weaknesses. It is His promise to Us that if we come unto Him, He will strengthen us. We just have to let Him. As I have let Him take my hand, I have never felt so strong. The Atonement is R E A L. The Book of Mormon is T R U E. The Gospel is H A P P I N E S S. Christ is the L I G H T.
The true light is always there. The sun always shines, even if you can`t see it. When you think you`re living in darkness, remember you probably just need to open your eyes!
Remember, it`s simple: learn of Christ, listen to Christ, then W A L K like Christ. The Lord will take care of the rest.
You can do hard things!
I love you, I love you, I love you!

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEN....................November 4, 2013
Hey hey hey! How the heck is errbody? I hope good. I hope you all had a good week!
So first off, HAPPY HALLOWEEN THIS PAST WEEK! Not gonna lie, I kind of missed all of the decorations and the kids trick or treating (and when I say kids, I mean me) and the haunted houses. They don't do really anything for Halloween here. Even a lot of the members and stuff say they wished they did it here like we do there, because the way the states do it is pretty sweet.
Also also also, two very special people had birthdays this week, so
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANNIE AKA SISTER RECKSIEK, AND MY SUPES COOL BRO IN LAW JARED! I hope your birthdays were as swell as you are!
This week honestly, was not a super eventful week. I'll give you a couple more fun facts real quick though:
1. Everyone and their dog here rides motos (motorcycles.) It's more economical because they're cheaper. And when I say dogs, I mean they will ride with their dogs. And their nine month old babies. All you mothers in the world would have a heart attack.
2. Everyone and their dog is ALSO named Carlos. For realsies. We have THREE menos activos named Carlos, and one investigator. So. It gets pretty confusing.
3. Just an example of how Spanish ruins your English: Hermana Goode went to kill a spider, and meant to say "hand me your flip flop" but instead she said "hand me your football." Okay, let me just hand you that football I brought with me. It's a struggle my friends #spanishmissionaryprobs (she also said conestutter the other day instead of stonecutter)
4. It's not quite super hot here, but I'm just bracing myself for December. Apparently in the summertime the missionaries will just jump in a cold shower with their garments on right before they go to bed, and then go to bed. And they're still hot. Yikes yikes yikes.
5. We're going to ZONE CONFERENCE on Friday! We're going to be meeting up with the zones from Artigas and Tacuarembo, and we're going to Artigas! It`s going to be sweet.....other than the fact that all of the Greenies have to bear their testimonies. So I have to do that in Spanish, in front of 90 something missionaries. I'll probably just say "Yo sè que Jesucristo vive." and call it good. (i kid, i kid. you know me; even in Spanish I could never speak ONLY one sentence. baha.)
6. This week, we've mostly been working with menos activos. Our investigators were all gone last week, but they'll all be back this week, plus we've gotten a ton of references that we're really excited to contact!
7. On Halloween, we did a Halloween activity with the other 6 missionaries (combining the two wards) We had bobbing for apples, Halloween music, candy, the game NINJA, and a game that would so NOT be funny in English called "Le vendo un pato." (translated means "I sell you a duck." told you it`s not funny.) Anywho, it was a REALLY great turnout! I actually did try bobbing for apples, and you know how I found a hidden talent for ultimate frisbee?....yeah I don't have that for bobbing for apples. I kind of failed. And got very wet. But hey, whatevs. They all knew I was awkward anyway. They know that from the first time they heard me speak Spanish. Let's be honest.
Halloween Party, Megan attempted to bob for apples
No one tells you how hard the first few months in the field are. It. Is. Rough. Satan has been working really hard. But guess what? He aint winning! This week, moreso than the Spanish, he's just been making me question myself in general and the intentions of my heart in being here. But then I remember that I KNOW why I'm here, and far more important than that, the Lord knows my heart. Even better than I do. Even though there aren't very many people here in Rivera who really even know my name other than "the new hermana", the Lord knows my name. And whether those people know doesn't matter, because I'm just an instrument in His hands. I am learning more and more everyday; more Spanish, more of the Gospel, more of how to be a good missionary, and most importantly, I'm slowly learning more and more about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I am understanding it as I try to apply it, and as I try to take His pure love and show it for others. I read something in True to the Faith this past week about the Atonement and how it helps us through trials "while He may not relieve you of your challenges and trials immediately, He will gave you the comfort and understanding to give you the strength to carry your burdens." It's so true. So don't sit there waiting for things to get better. Embrace them, take them with you, and let them help you understand your Savior. That's what I'm learning, and I'm so glad to be learning it.
Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be good member missionaries! Offer to go to lessons with the missionaries, reach out to their investigators and less actives, anything. You have no idea what a difference it makes. The members in our ward are a little difficult right now to get lessons with and we're trying to strengthen our relationship with them, but it has given me motivation to be the best member missionary when I'm home. Every one of you! Go to just ONE lesson with the missionaries! Or at least offer! Okay, I'm off my soapbox.
Sorry this one's kind of short. It was a rather uneventful week. But the Atonement is real, Uruguay is AMAZING (as is its milanesa and alfajores), and the Gospel is true! It is the light that can vanquish all darkness. I know this because it...and HE...is what saves me from my shadows. You just need to remember to look towards the light!
I love you, I love you, I love you!
