Hello family. How are you all doing? Everything here is going really well. We had a awesome week. Dad asked about my comp and how we are getting along. He is a awesome kid. He has only been in chile for 4 months but he speaks really well. We get along well and are just having a blast. He loves Mexican food and metal. So today for pday we are having a huge Mexican party. We bought veggies and tortillas and chicken and mean and shrimp and we are going to eat like true Mexicans. To answer moms question, yes I got the letter from the Andersons. It was so nice you will have to tell them thanx a ton from me and my comp and the zone leaders. They gave me 40 bucks and that went into the Mexican fund. They said it was for subway but I don’t know if I will ever go back to subway on my mission so I spent it on the second best thing!!
This week we put on this really cool activity that was the dream of Lehi. We has investigators and recent converts go through the chapel with blind folds on following a rope. And every now and then they would enter a room that was nice and warm and bright and we talked about faith and the holy ghost and a bunch of stuff like that. Then they left again into the dark and dreary world (hallway that was dark and cold) and had to follow the rope. Also in the hallway we had loud music going and we would scream and try to get the people to let go of the rope. And at the end they entered this big room that had the motab playing and was warm and had a huge tree up. They took off the blind folds and every missionary in our district bore his testimony and it was way powerful. Then for the fruit we had brownies that everyone ate. It was a really awesome activity and we had a lot of fun as did the investigators.
Also we had a conference with the mission president this week and it was awesome. I learned something that I never thought about before. I love scripture ether 12:27. it has always been one of my favourites. It says that we are going to have weak things become strong. It also says that as we come unto Christ he will show us our weaknesses so that we can fix them. That really hit me hard. I have wondered a lot on the mission why I saw all these weaknesses I have and I just see all this crappy stuff that I do. Then I realized that means that I am getting closer to my savior. And so he is showing me the stuff that I need to do better so that I can be more like him. It was a awesome lesson to learn. So when we see all the weaknesses that we have it isn’t a bad thing.
Ok so yesterday we had a huge miracle happen. We were sitting in sacrament meeting and I see this family of 3 come in. I have never seen this family come to church. So after the meeting I went to talk to them. It was a mom and her 2 daughters. One of the daughters is 10 years old and the other is 17. So the mom explains that she is a member but her daughters aren’t. She told me that her 17 year old daughter has a big problem with panic attacks. So on Saturday she was praying so that her daughter could get better and she asked God for a sign that everything would be alright. Then she went into her daughters room to talk to her. They were talking and the daughter said that she wanted to go to the church that she used to go it. (When the daughter was 5 they used to always go to church but stopped going.) So yesterday they decided to come and her daughters felt so good in the church. Now we are going to pass by to teach them and they are really excited. The daughters want to be baptized!!! It is so awesome, it was a sweet miracle.
Also maricela came to church and is really excited to be baptized. She has a baptismal date for the 28th of this month. If all goes well she will be baptized. She is so ready and is so strong. She loves the church and has a incredible testimony. So make sure to pray for her so that she can keep on being strong. This is the time when the trials and everything starts coming so she needs your prayers.
We are doing so much here. It is just exploding. This Sunday we had 5 people in the chapel and so did the zone leaders. We are in the same ward so that means together we had 10 investigators in the chapel. It was a awesome Sunday. We are just working hard and trying to stay worthy of the Lords help. I have learned that the lord gives golden investigators to golden missionarys. I just hope I can keep on having his trust. Well thanx for everything fam. I love you all tons. Have a awesome week. Keep praying for me, I need all your prayers.
Love
Elder hall
