Week 31

Transfers!! 

I want to share an experience that i had durring a lesson this week. We had a lesson with our friend Carolina and she speaks english, so we got to teach her in english. And at the end she told us “thank you for loving me and not judging me for my appearance and thank you for really listening to me and not trying to change me but giving me the opportunity to grow.” And when she was saying this to us, i could imagine the savior standing behind us and Carolina was really giving thanks to Christ. Because he really is the one who helps us grow into oir potential. It was a really special experience for me!

This week we got transfer news!! I'm going to Placilla to an area that was Elders before! And I'm training! There's so many emotions but I am so excited to get to know this new area with my bread new companion! I am so excited and I know so many good things are waiting! I already know this transfer is gonna go by so fast! 

This Sunday I got to bear my testimony to say bye to the Limache ward and I didn't really have any idea what I was gonna share. But I shared that we are all sons and daughters of an all powerful God. And when we really start to understand what that means, everything becomes different. We live and treat others differently. We want to follow and do God's will. And we have a potential that is divine. We really have a part of us that makes it possible to overcome this world. And that part is Jesus. Jesus did it all.


A member shared a story with me where the government framed him for something he didn't do and they charged him a bunch of money. And there was nothing he could do to fight it or reverse it. But he understood his identity as a son of God and put all his trust in him and started paying the fine monthly. And since that has happened he's said that the phone doesn't stop ringing with job opportunities. And he said I don't believe in God, I trust in God. Because I understand who God is and who I am and who I can become through God and Jesus.I just love being a missionary and living through the “hard” parts of the mission. Because the hard parts are gonna be the easy parts when I get home and have to face the real world. But the mission really does teach you a lot. I don't have much time to write, but I am so lucky to see and live God's miracles here in Chile! And I know that there are miracles happening where you guys are at too. It's just our choice to see and participate in them! 

I love you guys a ton!

And God loves you!

 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 ...
