Well exchanges came already! I’m staying and Elder Robinette
is going to Chiguayante which is a little to the south like 30 minutes of where
we are. My new comp is named... well I forgot already but he’s from Chile in
the North part. So it’s gonna be sweet!
We had a great week!
We found some great people! We found this one girl whose name is Maritza. She
is Ecuadorian, and everyone said she would never listen to the missionaries
because she is Catholic, but we just stayed persistent and now has a baptismal
date! So it’s great!
And this Sunday we
got Inty to come to church so it was great! I’m pretty sure he had a great
time. The class was perfect for him because it was about prayer. And we’ve been
trying to get him to pray so that he could receive an answer. So it’s going
good with him. We are planning on baptizing him this week but we’ll see how it
goes!
For our last
District Meeting it was great I left really uplifted because everyone commented
and pitched in, I just wasn’t standing up their saying stuff, I find that when
everyone talks, and just by asking a few simple questions great things come to
pass!
And after District
Meeting the Zone Leaders bought this huge bundle of ties. So we had a free grab
for like 10 minutes. I got some pretty sweet ties. They are like old school fat
ones from like the 70s! They are sweet! And I got some skinny ones. I spent
like a half an hour ironing the ties because they were all wrinkled, I got like
60 ties it was sweet! Today I sent a letter to my MTC companion Elder Dotson
that is in Rancagua, and I hooked him up with a fatty tie.
But it’s going great
here. We are finding some new people and trying to get people to church so that
they can be baptized! We are teaching a lady and her husband their names are
Inez and Julio. Julio is blind and has diabetes. So he has like his blood
cleaned every other day by this machine, and his wife is nice but grew up in
the Evangelical church. She is a little hard headed but we finally got her to
commit to going to church this Sunday, because she has read the Book of Mormon,
and prayed, and she understands the Restoration. So we are hoping to see some
results from that!
And we are teaching a
lady named Jessica. She is a lawyer and the family friend of a great family in
our ward. Last night we had a little party for Elder Robinettes birthday at
their house and Jessica showed up. She is super Catholic and still believes in
the Santos and stuff. But the Dad of the family Brother Marin let her know how
it is, and told her that she isn’t doing her part to find out if these things
are true. So I’m pretty sure she knows what she is doing and understands
everything we have told her. I think she just might have a little trouble
letting that stuff go. So pray for her!
It’s getting colder
here for sure! I bought myself a scarf! haha I never have worn one before but I
have heard that they are great! And our house is freezing and the other day we
saw some mice or rats in our house so we are looking for a new house so we can
get out of that place!
But I’m loving it
its gona be a great exchange I’m gonna learn some Chilean slang hopefully! haha
But enjoy Leo
Carrillo! Catch a wave for me and roast a marshmallow also! I love you guys a
ton!
