Hola mi familia!!! So good to hear from you! We just had a 2 hour
nap and we are finishing up our amazing relaxing preparation day by writing our wonderful
families! Thank you for your letters and your prayers.
This week we had so much
going on that it feels like a month has passed since I wrote last week. Let me
give you the recap!
On Tuesday we had our district meeting like every week, and then on
Wednesday we had interviews with our Mission President. Later that night, we had English/piano classes and only Carolina and her little sister Emiline came...but
next week is going to be even better!!! On Thursday we just worked a normal day.
On Friday we had a conference in the morning about working with the list of less
actives and helping them and their families, and then we had mini-cambios. In my
mini-cambio, I got to stay with a sister training leader in her new area. She and
her companion are opening a sector and while waiting for a house, they are
living in the apartment of a cute senior couple that actually finished their
mission today. So I got to stay in their apartment and they made us french toast
in the morning! Best mini-cambio ever!! I also learned a ton of things that I can
do to help our investigators progress more.
Then on Saturday we had a ward
activity that we were in charge of. The members brought the refreshment and we
taught a lesson about our Heavenly Father and His love for us, and what He has
given us to help us. We are going to have an activity every other week to
strengthen the Ward, and we are going to teach all of the principles from the
lessons, one ever week. So the week before conference we are going to teach
about how Heavenly Father always calls prophets!!! We also played games, like do
you love your neighbor? It was so fun!
Then Saturday night we went to visit a brother who had a suffered a vascular stroke. He and his family are very strong in the gospel. The stroke caused him to lose a lot
of his coordination and has been really hard on him and his family. A few weeks
ago we had a sweet experience visiting him and singing a hymn and sharing a
scripture about how much the Lord loves him and his family and he and his wife
just cried. The Spirit was so strong and I was so grateful to be there
witnessing and feel the love that God has for him. We decided to visit him again
on Saturday after the activity, and as we walked in, they were celebrating his
birthday! We were able to sing a hymn for him and he was so cute. His father
told us the next day that he knows that Heavenly Father loves his son because He
sent two artists to sing the night before. It was so cute!
On Sunday, Carolina (sr.) and Carolina(jr.) came to church. Also, Cesar drove straight
from work in another city far away and was able to get there in time for
priesthood. Jaime/Benjamin also came and he stayed for Sunday school!!! Cesar, Carolina, and Carolina changed their baptismal date for the 5th so that Cesar
can get work off and they can all be baptized together. It will have to be in
between sessions of general conference, but it will be so sweet! They are so
prepared and are living all of the commandments. It is amazing!!! Please pray
for them and all of our investigators. Please pray that we can help them
progress and accept baptism.
This week we received a reference from the office, of a woman who is less active. Her name is Jacqueline, and she has a son and a
nephew that aren't members. We are teaching her nephew, Ignacio, and they were
going to come to church, but accidentally slept in. We will be teaching them
this week. Please pray that they can make it this week! The work is progressing
and gets better every day! I love it! Please pray that we can continue to find
and help others prepared for baptism.
We are working with a part member family, whose
dad is not a member. His name is Marco, and he was going to get baptized but
didn't have a firm testimony of Joseph Smith as a prophet of God, and so he wasn't
able to, and he really wanted to get baptized so now he is offended. We are
working with him and his family, and I know that he will accept it as we keep
working with them. Please pray for him!
Funny stories for this week. We were walking down the street this week and
all of a sudden a man passed us with a cart full of parakeets and hamsters that
he was selling. So random ha ha love it!
It is so Chile!
Today we ate at a
restaurant with all of the sisters. Hermana Blau and I had brought some food in our back packs for dessert. We quickly made a peanut butter and honey
sandwich when the workers weren't looking. I brought honey in a tube, it looks
like it is a hand cream haha. I love it! Right now in the cyber they are playing the song: "We like to Party," that we use to dance to at Especially For Youth. Ha ha--Yay!!!
I love you all so much! Thank you for your support and your prayers. I know
that Heavenly Father loves all of us so much! we are His children and He works
for us daily! I love you! Have an amazing week!!! Hasta luego!
