HEY FAMILY
First
off, it finally happened, Hermana Hansen lost her agenda. SO surprised
it didn't happen earlier (and I think the rest of the world is too) but
due to small miracles it was found by the dentist and I can go pick it
up next week. :)
BUT HEY besides that, it was a
good week!! I have seen so many miracles! We still have had to go to Viña a bunch for my companions mouth - but we have now shared the gospel
with like EVERYONE in the dentist's office hahaha. And I talked to the bus
driver the whole hour back to Placilla and ended up giving him a Book
of Mormon! And he committed to go to church! He's from a different zone,
but still :)
A lot of other little miracles
happened like that, I saw HUGE changes of heart in less active members. And that
C is progressing like none other. He came to church without his wife
for the first time and we found his doubt (he doesn't do everything
100% because he's afraid he's going to talk himself into believing
instead of getting an actual answer).
The member we brought with us
bore an AWESOME testimony - that C is going to notice the difference,
and when he has the answer, he's gonna know he didn't talk himself into
it. Just like how he loves his wife but he knows he didn't talk himself into it.
C is gonna take off for 20 days to spend christmas in Peru with
his wife and daughter, but I'm hoping I'll still be here in Placilla
when he gets back, because he's way close :)
We've
found some cool new investigators, and we have some more area, really
just amazing. We had the Christmas zone conference with president, and
it was so awesome! I cried. The spirit was so strong. I am so happy to
be here during Christmas. the sacrifice brings the spirit more. And what
a blessing to share about Christ in this time of Christ? Honestly I
have felt the spirit so much lately. The "He is the gift" video makes me
cry every time. And I don´t cry EVER in lessons, but I already have a
couple times. Oops. But the conference was awesome. We have only 2 key
indicators now - baptism and total church attendance - and they're gonna
do it in all of South America! I'm way excited for it. :)
Also
fun fact, got to do intercambios with HERMANA BLUTH again! :) It was so
fun. I love reliving MTC times, and so good to see her and how much
we've progressed. I really am so lucky to know ALL the people I've met
in the mission, I love all the missionaries I've met! And the people
from Chile. It's gonna be rough to go home, so I'm making these last 8
months the best they can be!
The church is
true. trust in the Lord and he will show you everything you need, I
promise.
Love you all so much!! Merry Christmas soon!! :)
