Chile ~week 99



Hola!!
this week was once again a great one!! i think ive been nbñessed with a greast end of the misison, everything jsut seems top happen really easily.. but heres our week:

Tuesday: we had ot go to the campo for lunch, thenm we wenmt back to los sauces and had a lesson with an investigator named Cindy, shes awesome, she always reads and prays, we taught her lesson3. after in the afternoon we had a lesson with javiera, and she always asks us why god lets people suffer, so weve tried to explain it in so many7 ways, but we cant seem to get to her, but here soon we will..

Wednesday: we had lunch at home, we found a new, a lady whos really evangelical, so when we pray she says stuff, its kinda hard to pray withoput laughing.. also, that night we wenmt and taught Lorena and her mom maria, we had a god lesson, we started reading the book of mormon with them, which was cool, they havent really been keepingin their commitments, 

Thursday: i had an intercambio aghain, this time with elder domingues, from brazil. hes pretty cool, his acent is still really strong in portugese.. so sometimes its hard ot understand him, it was cool we taught some good people, but we also found a colombian guy. it was also crazy, we went to lunmch, and didnt look like it was going to rain, almost no clouds in the sky, then we left lunch, and we didnt have time to go home, and it started raining, so we went to another members house, ans they gave us jackets, but mine didnt have a hood so i walked around all day without as hood!!! haha it was fun!!

Friday: we had district meeting, then we ended the iontercambio. we found a young woman in our ward whos inactive and has like no desires to comeh back.. so thats lame.. then that night we went and read more with lorens and maria..

Saturday: we had a service that mromning, where we had to fill a lot or wheel barrels full of dirt, like when we shovel rock, but with dirt, and we had ot bring it a good 50 yardas away and dump it.. oh that tired us out.- then that afternoon we had another lesson with cindy, we watched the joseph smith movie, she really liked it, and started asking a bit about baptism which is awesome!!

Sunday: we had church, there was 14 of us.. we had 2 investigators, our hatian jacmy, and maria came!! shes awesome!! her daughter mariela(whjos a member) has told us that she thinks shes thinking about baptism!! which is awesome!!!Also that night we went to javiera again, we watched the JS movie again, and then we made food with them, my companion taught them how to mmake some peruvian food, which was cool..

Today: we had a multizone activity with the Victoria zone.,. it was fun

Have a Good Week!

Chile ~week 97

well this week was once again a good one!!
dont have a lot of time to write.. but ill summarize it..

this wek was a bit more difficult.. we had a lot of plans fall.. but we think its cause heavenly father should be trying to test us.. cause he should have something great coming for us..  and wants to know if we are preprepared..
but here we are in los sauces.. working hard, trying to make the best of it all here.. 

sorry i dont have too many pics to send.. and the computers right now are slow.. so next week ill send more!!
Have a Good Week!

Chile ~week 96

Well... this week has been a great one, i dont have much time to write.. so ill try to share the coolest things that have happened...

Well.. with our investigator Jacmy, we were able to show him the restoration movie, about joseph smith... that was 1 hour.. and after he understood a lot more, and is starting to talk a little more serious... so thats awesome!!!

Maria: shes a less active weve been working with.. we called her to come to church on sunday.. and she came!! but she shared her testimony, and said she woke up hearing a voice asking if shes gonna go to church.. then we called ehr right after and invited her.. so she got ready as fast as she could and went to chruch.. so that was awesome!!

Javiera: shes the daughter of a member whos been inactive about 18 years.. and her daughter knows a lot!! she has asked us a lot of questions!! and then in the end we found out a few years ago her grandpa died, and she stopped believing in god.. so now we know her need.. so were gonna be working with that!!

we had interviews with president that also turned out really good... it was my second to last!! 

thjen today we went to take a hike with some other missionaries.. and we took a lot of pics.. so ill send em!! we saw some waterfalls.. it was awesome!!!


Have a Good Week!
