¡Hola! How is everyone? This week
was an interesting week. Christmas has gone by and it was great we had a good
time with Yeny and Johny in their house on Christmas Eve. I hope you all had a
very merry Christmas and am looking forward to a great new year.
This week here in Chile we had some
great things happen first Magarita made it go church this week and was able to receive
the Holy Ghost. When she came we had planned that her friend Juan (who had baptized
her) to also confirm her. Well, when they came on Sunday he suggested it would
be better if someone else did it. Margarita choose me. (This is about 5 minutes
before sacrament meeting starts) I recieved all of 4 seconds of instruction on
how to do it. I had never done it before so as we got up to do it my hands were
shaking and my voice to. As I did the confirmation everything came out perfect
and I know it was the spirit guiding me. I felt calm as I gave the blessing and
everything it was amazing and the spirit was very strong.
About 2 weeks ago the ward released
our ward mission leader and we have been 2 weeks without one. Well this Sunday Eduardo
came to church. This was big cause he had not been able to come for years. He
came loved how he felt and yesterday when we had a lesson with him we talked
with him about missionary work and he began to explain to us the love he had
for missionary work the work he had done in the past to bring back less actives
and share the gospel. Me and my comp both saw it. That was our new ward mission
leader. We were so confused as to why the lord released our ward mission leader
and didn’t call another one. Now I see that its cause he knew Eduardo was
coming back and that he is the ward mission leader we need. It was
amazing.
Other than that everything has been
normal. We had a great lesson with Juan Lorca and his family about faith and
works and trust. The wife is slowly but surely coming to baptism. Sadly they didn’t
come to church this week.
These holiday weeks are usually
pretty rough because a lot of people go out of town for the holidays. We have
had a lot of time this week to do contacts and seen some great blessings from
doing them.
I hope you all have a great week and
that we may all look at the New Year as a new beginning and that we may take
this year with a stronger determination to follow our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
-Elder Harrison
