Ok so this week was an awesome week! So since I am with my
new companion Elder Atkinson who does not know any Spanish, I have the chance
to teach him what all of the weird phrases and things are down here, I will
explain more at the end of the email. But as always, this week was amazing, I
absolutely love the mission and the work that we do.
Ok so we will focus on the people. Last week we had a lesson
with a recent convert and his sister and we had planned to teach them about the
Gospel of Christ and the doctrine that he taught. As soon as we sat down with
them at the church to talk, we felt prompted to change. We had a lesson on the
pure power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We testified that he is our Savior
and Redemeer and that as missionaries we help others to make sacred covenants
with Him in order to have more access to his atoning power in our lives. It was
an amazing lesson and the spirit was so strong, in the end of the lesson the
sister of the recent convert put her own baptismal date for the 14 of October.
I testify and I know that we must listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
Not only will we have the opporotunity to have our own lives blessed as we
listen to the whisperings of the Spirit, we will have to chance to bless others
in their journey on the quest for the truth. This is an eternal concept. To be
able to hear the Spirit, we must do all in our power to act, listen and study
in order to be able, in the precise moment, hear what He has to say. These
moments are precious and the closer we draw to our Savior, the more in tune we
become in order to better hear the impressions that we recieve every day.
As well we are working hard with a list of some less active
members in our ward. We have been teaching and helping them and their families
to understand the Gospel and to learn to live it. Overall, the work is going
great here in our ward!
So on Monday we had a really cool and funny experience for
the week. We were doing contacts and we started talking to this man at his
front gate about the Gospel. All of the sudden out of nowhere I got the urge to
use the bathroom, so I asked if we could pass and use the bathroom. He looked
at me a little funny and then let us in. We then ended up teaching him and we
are going over again today because he loved what he heard. So long story short,
God works in misterious was, sometimes in ways we never imagine. I was grateful
we could teach that man, and as well I am grateful I went to the bathroom in
his house, he had one of the nicest that I have seen in Chile, so that was a
blessing for me. God works in misterious ways.
So that is all! This has been a great week! I love the
mission, my comapnion and I are working hard and sacaring the mugre every day,
which makes us both feel good. I love you all, keep writing and have a great
week!
Love,
