Hey fam this has been a good week like always. It was fun to hear how you guys got to watch the temple be dedicated. One thing on the mission that i dont like is that we only get to go to the temple like 3 or 4 times tops in 2 years. It feels like something is missing for sure. But i am excited to come back and be able to go to like 10 temples in like 1 hour. I would really like to go through the salt lake temple when i get back, i have never been inside and i would love to. Maybe when i get back we can all go and chill out there, that would be awesome.
Anyways, life here in chile is good. I have a huge miracle happen the other day. We had had a very hard day and we had walked around basically all day and not been able to get into any houses and i was really tired and sad. So on the way home my comp had to go buy something from the supermarket. So we went in and got it and all the sudden i hear “elder hall??” i turn around and what do you know it is one of my coverts from another sector. Her name is mariela. She got baptized in villa sur almost a year ago exactly. I couldnt believe it, it made me so so happy to see her. She told me that her daughter who is 8 years old will be baptized in 2 week and that she is getting ready to enter the temple and recieve her endowments. It was awesome!!! She said that she always goes to church and is reading and praying with her mom who isnt a member. It was a tender mercy of the lord. It is days like that when everything goes wrong and them the lord just throws in something small to show us that he does care about us and love us. I was so thankful to see her. I love the mission!!!
So yesterday was a good day at church. Kevin came to church and so did this other young man named angelo. I told you guys about him last week, he is awesome. We loved church and said that he feels it is right to join it. So we put a baptizmal date with him for the 12th of september. He is so prepared and will be a awesome member of the church. Also 2 other investigators that we are teaching came. We also found this girl that got baptized and never went back and she came to church as well. It is fun to see all these people we are working with come back or go to church. It makes me feel like i am really helping people. There is nothing better in the world then to be sitting in church and see a less active member or a investigator come through the church doors, i love it.
Well yesterday in church we learned about what type of music we should listen to. We read the scripture that is in d and c in the seccion 26 or 27 i´m not sure. But it says that the song of the rightchous is a prayer to God and that made me start thinking and i came up with a saying that i really like. “Every song is a prayer, be good or bad. But the difference between the two is who we are praying to...” I like it cause there are good and bad songs and every one of them are prayers. But sometimes we are singing to satan instead of Heavenly Father. We always need to be carefull about what we listen to. Satan is constantly attacking us and little by little we get closer and closer to his line without even noticing. Bad songs that we would have never listen to at first seem better and better. It is crazy how satan nulifies us into thinking little by little that things are good. We always have to stay as far away from his line as possible to he has no power over us. So be carefull on what kind of music you all listen to. And think about who is the author of the music. Is it from God or Satan?? Well i love you all tons. Hope you have a great week. Keep up the faith.
Love
Elder hall
