Week 64

 A week of joy! This week I felt so blessed to feel so much joy! I was blessed to be able to do a few exchanges this week. To me it is always a miracle to see how excited other people are to share the gospel. Every missionary has a slightly different way of sharing their testimony and I love learning from everyone! 

On Sunday we were praying a lot that a miracle would happen because we didn't think any friends were going to come to church. And some crazy miracles happened. The first was that a sister that just moved here from Perú brought her friend to church! It was so special seeing her helping out her friend, showing her the hymns and explaining the Sacrament. And the second miracle was that after the Sacrament meeting already started, Totty and Erica walked hand in hand. Totty is a member that has had difficulties coming to church on Sundays and she helped us in a lesson with Erica. And Totty picked up Erica from her house and drove her to church! And afterwards Erica said that she recognized the sacrament meeting room because she had dreamed a dream with this exact room. She said she remembered how beautiful the wood benches were. It was an answer to her prayers. And she had a lot of questions about the temples and about how Jesus had visited America. She is really excited to learn more! It was a huge miracle for us! The feeling I had when I saw them walk in together was just pure happiness and pure joy! It's something that I have never felt before! It's evidence to me that it's important to go to church. And how special it is that we can go to church and feel the spirit so strongly every week! I love my Savior and I know he knows us and is aware of us! 

Have a great week!

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 ...
