Hey
everyone, how are you all doing? I hope you are all great and that you had a
great Thanksgiving, I am loving life in Santiago, Chile. This week was full of
divisions with other missionaries and work in the sector, it was great. Things
seem to get better everyday, and it is amazing seeing the Light of Christ in all
different people.
So
this week was a great week to be a missionary in Parque Combarbalá, and I do
not have a lot of time to share a lot of what happened, but I will share the
highlights. So this week in our ward we helped to get a young man reactivated
and we have started to help him serve his mission, and he is really excited to
serve. His name is Elian and ever since we got to know him about three months
ago he has improved dramatically in his testimony, and his entire countenance
has changed as he has drawn closer to the savior. His story of overcoming his
challenges to change who he is really impacted me and built my testimony that
Christ lives, and he is waiting and helping us to come nearer to Him. We also
have an investigator who is going to be baptized on Saturday named Rudolfo.
Over the past couple of months, I can honestly say that I have not taught him a
single thing, I have had the priveledge to be the tool of the Lord and I have
seen him change by the power of the Spirit. He is super excited for his baptism
and Elder Topalda and I are excited for him too because he has such a happy and
grateful personality.
The
funny story of the week happened yesterday in the afternoon. Elder Topalda and
I were contacting people and we were crossing a street and we were stopped by
an old lady who was waaaaaaasted, and I mean she was not even there, she was
having a hard time staying on her feet. She started talking to us about the
Spirit and how we need to be better people, all while she was standing barefoot
on the blazing hot asphalt. She then put her finger in the icecream she was
holding and touched me and got my shirt all stained noooooooooo. But its
alright, after that she walked away and Elder Topalda laughed because I had a
big patch of orange on my white shirt hahahahhaha.
So
those were the big things that happened this week, I was out of the sector a
lot this week on divisions with our Distict and Zone Leaders, but I had a great
time learning and serving with them. Yesterday I had to go to Santiago Centro
to go and do things for my VISA to stay in the country, and I went with Elder
Scott from my district in the CCM! I hope you are all good and that you are
enjoying the cold! I love you all!
Love,
Elder
