Hey family how are you guys doing? Glad to hear all is well at home and that the weather is getting colder. Here the weather just keeps on increasing but I think I will be able to live through it. Summer here goes until about march so I will be fine…I hope. But ya we had a good week and worked really hard. Also landon I wanted to wish ya a happy birthday. I sent ya a card and you should get it in the near future. About the phone call, this Friday we have time to call you guys to plan everything. So I will call the home phone and if no one answers I will call your cell mom. These are the numbers that I remember, so I hope they are correct. If not, I don’t know what we are going to do but ya. I hope that these numbers are still right. But ya make sure that you are ready. I am pretty sure that we are going to call in the morning just to let ya know.
But ya this week has been crazy. I don’t know if I have told you guys but I have had a ingrown toe nail since before the mission and now it is pretty bad I think… this week I am going to have to go to the doctor to see if he can fix it. My feet are pretty messed up right now but its all good, as long as I can still walk I will be fine.
This week we had divisions 3 times because my comp is the district leader. One with my old comp, elder zeballos. One with one of the elders that lives in our house, whose name is elder rojas (from Paraguay). And one with elder despain who is my zone leader. Elder despain was the elder that lived with me in my first sector just incase you guys don’t remember. We had a good time talking about the good ol times and we laughed a lot. Also it was fun to have divisions with elder zeballos and to be able to see how everyone in my old ward is doing.
When we had divisions with elder zeballos we had a miracle happen. We got a reference from the sister missionaries and so we went to find the house. It took us like 25 minutes to find the street that she lived on. Then we looked for another 10 minutes for the number of the house but it didn’t exist. This happens a lot, when people give us their address but they just make up a street name and number. So we decided to knock doors and we knocked a couple without success. Finally I knocked a door and a lady came out. I asked her if maybe the number that we had existed but she said no. she asked us who we were looking for and I said, “a lady named rosa.” Thats when she said, “I am rosa…” and she wasn’t even in her house, she was at a neighbors house. She said that it was alright to come in and said that she had been waiting for us. So we went in and taught her lesson 1 about the restoration and she had all the questions that you want a investigator to have. She said that she thought there should only be one true church and that men need to have the authority from God. She is incredible!!! I know that God leads us to the people who need to hears us. Satan didn’t want us to find her house but somehow we did.
Also this week President Jones came to interview our investigator named anastacia who is going to get baptized. She passed and will be baptized in a week and 1/2. Our other investigator, Belen came to church and she will be baptized on the 28th of December. Felicinda and her daughter Karen didn’t come to church. So we passed by their house after church to see what happened and she said she didn’t want to be baptized any more. This really shocked us cause she was so happy and ready to get baptized. So we went inside to talk to her and we decided to sing a hymn, “Nearer my God to Thee”. After we were done singing she started crying and told us that really she wanted to get baptized and wanted to come to church and she felt guilty that she didn’t come. She said that she knew God wanted her to go to church and to be baptized and when she didn’t go she felt like God was disappointed in her. She said that she has had a lot of problems in the past 2 weeks. We explained to her that satan doesn’t want her to progress. He wants us to be miserable like he is. She said that was true and that she is going to come to church and follow the savior and be baptized!!! We bore our testimonies and I felt the spirit so powerfully and I know that she felt it too. I was a really cool experience.
But ya that was my week. It was really good and we are working our butts off. This is really good cause I haven’t felt home sick even thought Christmas is really close. We are going to keep on working and doing all that we can do to find the Lords chosen people. He is preparing people right now that are ready to hear the Gospel. So keep on praying for me and for the people here in chile. I love you all so much. Hope you have a awesome week.
Love
Elder hall
