Week 16

 Week 16:

Happy Halloween!!

This week we had 4 friends come to church!! We have invited Jorge to be baptized but he doesn´t feel ready. But he came to church and the baptism of a family after church! We are hoping that the baptism helps him feel more comfortable! In the ward there was a family of 3 baptized! It was super special to watch them one after the other get baptized and one after the other receive the Holy Ghost! And we got to clean the baptismal font which was fun!!

Joannah and Benjamin came to church! They saw us enter the church on Friday for a ward party and they ended up coming and liked it so much they wanted to come back for Sunday! And our friend Ana came to church too which is a miracle! She’s a bit older and has a hard time walking, but we found someone to drive her to church! And her sister is a member, but she didn’t tell her sister that she was coming so it was a surprise! It was super special because her sister had been trying to get Ana to come to church for a while and finally she came!

We had an experience where me and my companion saw a man sitting on the curb. We talked with him and he didn’t say much, he was very shy and quiet. We both sat next to him and just talked, asked questions and listened to the birds chirping. The most he said was “yes” or “no” and midway through our conversation he just stood up and walked away but I know that he is closer to heaven than we are. That literally angels are walking beside him guarding him everywhere. I love when I get to talk to people that are so close to heaven, and I can feel God’s love for them so strong. I loved this experience. 

Sorry this email is a bit short, but I really had a great week! I see the hand of God literally everyday is crazy!! My suggestion to you this week is go read the book of Mormon! And really read it! Everyday!! It really is food for the soul! Love you all, have a great week!! 

God loves you!

Week 58

 This week we had a zone conference and it was truly amazing. I realized that people want and need this Gospel. If they can understand what it means to be baptized, there won´t be a single person who wouldn´t want to be baptized. It just depends if they can truly understand the doctrine. Understand that when we are baptized, the door to return back to Godś presence opens. The only way to start to access Godś power is through baptism. If the people can understand that the first step to living with their families for the eternities is by being baptized, they wouldn't have to fear it.  This week we got to put this into practice. We taught our friend Absalon about the importance of baptism and how his eternal progression relies on being baptized by someone that has the authority of God. He was a little concerned at first because he said, If I were to be baptized again, that means that it would invalidate the baptism that I already have had and all that I have experienced up until ...

  This week was super eye opening. I learned so much about all aspects of life. First of all on Tuesday we left with Sister Trythall, the mission president’s wife. And it was so fun to see our area from a different perspective and to hear her testimony and feel her spirit. This week I felt super grateful for every little thing I’ve lived through. I’m super grateful for this time I have to be super focused in changing myself and helping others to change.  I also had some opportunities to have deep conversations this week with a few different people. The first one I had was with my companion. We talked about how sometimes we feel like we don’t feel the spirit as strongly or as drastic of a difference and the truth is that we are so connected spiritually that I realized it's normal. It's normal that people in the street feel the spirit strongly and they share the hard things they’ve gone through or what they’re going through right now after talking to them for 3 minutes. And that...

  My last week in Chile! The best week ever! This week I just soaked up everything! Every lesson, every street contact. especially Sunday. It was a super sweet and spiritual Sunday! I got to give my last testimony and wow it was hard for me, but I just felt so much love looking at all the people I love and have served with for so long. I am sad to leave but excited for the next part of my life!  Some highlights from this week! Ignacio got baptized and confirmed! The baptismal meeting was so spiritual and Ignacio shared his testimony at the end and he started crying! Afterward he said that the spirit was so strong during the whole entire baptismal service and it all exceeded his expectations! That is a lot coming from him because he is a very intelligent, calculated person, so the fact that the spirit was stronger and hit him harder than he thought was really special! Our friend Javiera saw us doing all the prep to get everything ready for Ignacios baptism and she asked us how ...
