¡CUPA MUNDIAL!

Well, it started.  The biggest thing in Latin America- the world cup!  And it is ever great in Chile. Chile’s team got into the world cup this year and the whole country is going crazy about it. Last Friday there was a game (contra Australia), Chile won and for the next 4 hours there where people honking horns, and yelling in the streets, fireworks and everything. It really is something fantastic to see. While it’s amazing for the country, it does make a bit harder the missionary work in this area. I can’t even imagine how it is over in Brazil. But with all the difficulties we actually had a great week.

To start off, we got to meet with Pamela Cordero and her family again. It is super great. The daughter, Valentina, is preparing to be baptized on the 5th of July. She is super excited and also has read up until Alma 4. Thus passing me by an entire book. She loves the Book of Mormon and the whole family too. Pamela herself is doing good. She is struggling a bit with her oldest son Christopher, who is a bit of a rebel child. We are all praying for him and the bishop is doing his best to help them out. She has such great support from the ward. One of her fears coming back to church was that the people would look down on her, but they have all been amazingly supportive. The family is so amazing. I know Christopher will come around.

Sadly this week we have not been able to meet with some of our best people Raymond is still MIA after 4 weeks. We are really wondering what happened. We also sadly were not able to work with Carlos this week either. We are hoping to have contact with them this coming week. 

So me and my comp are doing a big push with family history we are hope that we can inspire the ward to set up a temple day with family names to take to the temple. It has been a good response so far. Family history is such a great work. The more I learn about it here, the more I wish I had participated more in it before the mission. Everyone should get involved with it. There are two great works in this world today. Well really it’s one work missionary work, but on both sides of the veil. There are missionaries who go for two years and serve away from their homes,  but they are not alone. We need missionaries in the house that will look for names find people and take them to the temple. The ordinance of baptism needs to be offered to all the living and the dead. My invitation for all of you is to take some time and look for some names. They are there I promise. I know the lord will bless us as we look.

Para finalizar me gustaría decir a todos los padres feliz día gracias por todo que hacen para nosotros sus hijos.
