¡Hola! This week was such a great
week. I’m now in the second half of my training (one more chance to go) and it
is so awesome. We got a new wave of missionaries into the mission and I think 4
or 5 of the new missionaries came to our zone. I feel so much older with the
new one here but it’s weird to think that just 6 weeks ago I was in that same position.
This week was so great for me and my comp. So lately we have been struggling
with planning it just didn’t feel like we were doing it right, then one night
it just clicked and it was amazing and we have been planning like that ever
since. It amazing to see the blessings of the lord like that. During the week
was pretty normal. We had some days, we just had nothing. Things were so slow
and all our appointments just feel though. And other days where we have more appointments
then we can hit. It’s so amazing to see the people respond to missionary work
here.
Okay the thing though that I really
want to talk about is Sunday cause it was just fantastic. Amazing. Remember
last Sunday? Ya this one was better. So to start it was fairly normal we went
and picked up Margarita and walked with her to the chapel. Then after that with
the help of some members, we split up and went to go get Carlos (investigator)
and Adda (less active). I went to get Adda
and she was good and ready to go. We got back and Carlos sadly couldn’t come. So
we go in and sit down with Hermana Adda and Magerita. 15 or so minutes before
the meeting starts, in walks none other than Hermana Silvia, and Manuel. I don’t
know if I have talked about them very much, but they are an older couple that
we have been working with for awhile. We had been praying this week that they
could sleep better and have the energy to come to church. We talked to them
about getting a ride with a member but they didn’t seem to in to it. But in
they come. They walked all the way from their
house. When she came in she said to me ´´ you have been praying haven’t you´´ normally
they couldn’t do that walk because of the heat but this morning in was overcast
and cool. I know that heavenly father was listening to our prayers and their
prayers too. Then the ward was so nice and so kind to the all four everyone
greeted them so warmly. We went through the rest church normal ( well mostly
normal our teacher for Sunday school didn’t show up so I taught the lesson) and
then after went on a day like normal.
Then about 8:00 things really got
awesome. So we had planned a family home evening with Andres and Margarita (actually
was their idea we just helped plan it). We were really counting on Hermano Altembrano
(excuse the spelling) and his wife to come- they have been building a great
relationship with Andres and Magerita. But, we pass by his house and sadly he
is not there. A bit down by this, we head to Andres’ and to our great surprise
there is Hermano Altembrano and his wife. We then proceed to have an amazing
family home evening and a lot of fun a lot of laughs it was great.
Then the cherry on top was the Christmas
devotional that night.We went as a group after the family home evening and the
spirit was so strong. The music as so inspiring. I could see it affect Adreas
and Magerita I just can’t wait to see them start progressing and finding the
happiness of the gospel.
As for Jacob things were hard this
week with his job. Chileans are the only people who literally work all the time
every day its crazy. His new job is like this. We have a member in the ward who
might be able to set Jacob up with another job, but that will have to wait and
see.
This week is so good the Christmas
spirit is starting to show. Embrace the Christmas time and never lose sight of
the purpose of it.
Feliz Navidad
