FIRST OFF, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MOM!!!! :) It is so crazy that your last birthday was already A YEAR
ago!!! But I hope you have a great day, I am thinking of you!! :)
This
week went really well, we were able to work A LOT and even though we
didn´t find as many people as we wanted to, we saw a TON of miracles!!
First
off, we taught B the other day. We found her crying in the
street. She had fought with her boyfriend and her ability to live in the
house she´s living in was in jeopardy.... so she was really sad. We
went and sat in the outdoor tables of this random little local and
taught her more about the atonement. She felt way better, and then said
´hermanas, there's something I actually wanted to tell you. I decided, I
want to get baptized.´ AHHHH. It was SO awesome!!!! She is so amazing. Honestly I love her so much! I've never seen a 15 almost 16 year old
that has her head on so straight. We have seen her change SO MUCH since
we started teaching her!! And it all started when she started reading
the Book of Mormon. It is so incredible how the gospel can change
people... she is so very special. I am so excited for her!!
Also,
L came to church!! We hadn´t been able to get a hold of her on Saturday, so we thought she had traveled down to Rancagua, but then she
and her less active son Diego showed up halfway through sacrament
meeting and stayed the whole time!! She said that she had never felt so
comfortable and happy at a church before, and that she is planning on
making coming to church a habit. :) We are going to set a baptismal date
for her tonight!!
ALSO we went to a less active family´s
house (the dad used to be a counselor in the stake presidency... yikes)
and we were teaching them and the dad said the closing prayer and prayed
that the lord could help them return to church!! SO awesome!!! And Gabriela got a calling as YW secretary, she´s super excited about it,
best convert EVER. And a less active girl that we´re reactivating got
called as the YW activities coordinator!! Things are going so great,
it´s awesome. Only bummer is, we are doing a TON of contacts every day,
but Chile is literally just full of less active members.... if we do 20
contacts, generally like 15 of them are secretly less actives. But we
know that we are going to find the people that are waiting for us :)
On
another note, we had consejo on Friday. It was amazing. honestly, I
love my mission president and his wife so much. They have changed my
LIFE and keep doing it!! I know that half of the reason I had to come to
this mission was to meet them. They are the most humble people I know,
because all that they want to do is the will of the lord. And I know
that that is what they do. and I love how much I learn from the other
missionaries!! It´s just a huge spiritual feast, and I love every
second of it.
Another thing, there are CAMBIOS
on Wednesday!!! And we have this feeling that we are both getting
changed..... yikes. There are big changes happening in the mission!! I hope I stay though, I really love Chorrillos :) But I know that
wherever I need to go the lord needs me! It reminds me of Hermana Page... it really doesn´t matter where I´m working, I just want to be
working for the lord and enjoy every second that I have to declare the
gospel and bring joy into the lives of those around me. It´s amazing,
and the best experience I could ever ask for!
Anyways, I hope you guys have had a great week as well!! I love you all so so
much. I´ll see you guys on SUNDAY! so crazy. I feel like we Skyped last
week!! Have a good day!!!
love
