Week 17

 Week 17:

This week was awesome! I'm starting to feel more like a missionary!! I can actually do my part in lessons and start talking to people in the street and have my own conversations with members and share my thoughts and feeling more completely! The gift of tongues is so real! 


Last pday we cut our hair at a members house and then went to a different members house to make bread! Now I know how to make yummy chilean bread! My goal is to learn and write down all the recipes for all the yummy food here. 

We had a blitz this week! I was in a different area with Hna Christian and we taught a little family of 5. It was basically chaos the entire time with but we showed a video and bore our testimony of prayer and the spirit was so strong. The mom was crying with her baby in her arms. We also talked with a lot of people that don't belive in god or dont believe in anything which always makes me so grateful for everything we know. Because we have si much more hope and purpose in this life when we know where we came from and our divine potential. 

We were walking and my companion recognized someone from 3 months prior. His name is David and he was in Colombia with his family for the past 3 months and he just returned. He told us that if someone had more of the truth he would for sure love to have it! We gave him a book of mormon and he was super excited to read it! 

We had a dessert night with Hna Manena and her neighbor Beatriz. Beatriz Is from Brasil and she made us some yummy deserts from Brasil. We started talking about the book of mormon and Beatriz told us that she was baptized 20 years ago in Santiago! What an awesome surprise! We are gonna try to help her to come back because this gospel is worth coming back for! 

On Friday we accidentally took the wrong Micro and we found ourselves in the middle of farm town Omlue. That made us about an hour late to our lunch appointment, woops. But it was a fun adventure! 



We have a recent convert named Marisol. And she hasn't been to church for about 3 months because she has bipolar and it has been difficult for her the past 3 months. But she finally let us into her house and she has this crazy dog named Rocky. This dog has no boundaries and a mountain of energy. And I do not like touching dogs. I literally haven't touched a single dog this entire time. But this dog literally is jumping all over us and the only way to get this dog to calm down is to pet it. And we had a very special lesson planned and we needed the Spirit and to be focused and to be calm. So I did what I had to do and pet this dog, constantly without a break for 45 minutes. I was dyinggggg. But it was worth it because Marisol came to church the next day!

I love the mission. I love Jesus Christ. I love all of you! Thank you for your love and support, 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 ...
