¡Hola! This week was changes but to
my surprise and the surprise of all me and my comp did not have changes we have
got 6 weeks more together. I’m super excited to be with him for this next
change. Even better he is a district leader now so things got a lot easier for
us. Actually this change in our ward no one left, we all stayed. In all, the
stake there were only 3 people who left so it’s all really staying the same for
this change. Except for the contacts those are getting a lot better.
For the last while we have been
doing a lot of contacts in the streets a lot. This week in comp study we took
some time and realized that we had been falling in a rut--doing it the same every
time. The same all one size fits all answer. We realized that is what had been
making this not work well. We decided to change that and to start focusing on
the people again. That has given us great fruits. We have luck here in Chile
cause just about everyone here knows who we are and what we do so with time the
conversation eventually leads to religion and to beliefs. When we really took
the time to listen to what the people say to ask more questions and talk less
the people open up more.
This week with our investigators we
have not had a whole lot of progress. We have however seen a few miracles. We
have a less active woman named Sonia and she has been impossible to find. We were
out with a member trying to do visits our set appointment fell sadly and we try
3 more houses and nothing. When the member makes the suggestion to go and visit
Sonia I went but without much hope… Cause we had been going by for weeks and we
never find her. Well we go and as we get there she just happens to be entering
her apartment she lets us in and we have a powerful lesson about the book of Mormon.
I know that was not just happenstance but that the lord had a place for us to
be and a time and though the idea of the member was his purposes completed.
This week has been a great testimony
building week. Doing a lot of contacts means a lot of chances to defend and testify
about my beliefs and I love it. testifying to people really is the best way to
build your testimony and doing that I can say stronger than ever that I know
that this is the true church of Jesus Christ restored to the earth and the only
path to eternal happiness
