Ok family this week has been one of the best weeks I think I have had on my mission. I have seen so many miracles it is so crazy. First off I am going to let you guys know that in this sector I have lost tons of weight. It is really good and nice not to have my pants really tight… haha I figured out the secret is that you cant eat at night. If you do then you are going to blow up like a balloon… but ya that is the first miracle that I have seen this week. But don’t worry it gets lots better.
So we started teaching this girl named Joanna. She is about 24 years old and has been dating the brother of Belen, (my little red head convert) for about a year. So we shared with her lesson 1 and 2. Also a couple days ago her sister in law fell from a 9 story building and died. So she had tons of questions and concerns. When she hear lesson 2, which is the plan of salvation, she believed in everything and said that she is going to share it with her brother. Then we challenged her to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. So she did it that night. She told us and so got on her knees and started praying with all her might. She said that she asked for forgiveness of her sins, she prayed for her brother and last but not least, to see if this church is true. She said that she had never felt feelings like that in her life. She said that she felt a peace and she knows came strait from God. After she got done praying she fell to sleep immediately, something that she hasn’t been able to do for 2 weeks. She told us that she wants to be baptized!!! First thought, she is going to talk to her mom, who is hard core catholic, so if you guys could make sure to pray for her that would be awesome.
That was my first miracle. Second, we got home from church yesterday and went to lunch. We were sitting there waiting for the member to make our food and she introduced us to her 2 nieces who recently moved here from another part of Santiago. They are named Becky and Gina. Becky is 12 years old and Gina, 10. we found out that they want to get baptized more than anything. They already received the missionary´s but were never able to go to church cause their dad works Sundays. But here they have gone 3 times now and they both bore their testimonies last week. They are really smart and said that they are going to pray about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. We already put a baptismal date with them, for the 22 of this month. So we are really excited for them!!!
So as you can see we are seeing tons of miracles. but that’s not the end of them. I don’t know if I have told you guys that my dad in the mission, elder Hansen right now is assistant to the president. So last week our fridge broke and he came to give us another one. While we were talking he told me that one lady that we were teaching in Melipilla, my first sector got baptized about 6 months ago!!! She was this really awesome lady and I am glad that she was able to take this huge step in her life. Also in Las naciones, my last sector, Alison, a girl that we were teaching is going to be baptized in a week.
Man it is crazy to see all these things that are going on here. One person can really have a huge effect on lots of people. I am so blessed to see all these amazing miracles. I love the mission, I have been able to grow so much and I just keep on growing. Make sure you guys keep on praying for me and my investigators. I love ya tons.
