Week 39

 General Conference and Eduardo!!

This week our friend Eduardo was baptized! He was super excited and a little nervous but it was awesome to get to see his process. His parents passed away a while ago, he isn’t married and has no kids so he lives basically alone. And he said that he is super excited to be apart of ward family. Sometimes we don’t think too much about how important it is to have a ward family, but for some people that don’t have friends or family, it makes all the difference. It's a place of belonging and of love. 
This week was a little rough concerning missionary work, I got sick on Tuesday and it got progressively worse every day. The members were so nice to try and take care of me, but really I just needed to rest. So we called a bunch of people in the apartment and we actually found 2 people that have interest to learn more! That was a little miracle! 
This week was super fun with general conference! I love inviting people to come and listen to the living prophet and the 12 apostles of the Lord! Because people don’t know that God has called a prophet today! And I love sharing that with everyone because it kind of catches them off guard haha. But I'm so grateful that we have a prophet to guide us! I invite you if you haven't listened or read his talk, to go listen to it! It gave me super motivation to throw out all negativity in my life and share love and light! I'm super excited this week to be able to put that into practice! 

I love you guys all so much but more importantly 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 ...
