Wow the
mundial (world cup) stuff is going crazy here. We (Chile) lost today...
that was a bummer but we beat Spain!! You are right dad it is HUGE.
All of the cars go by waving flags
and honking and they all go celebrate in Plaza Italia. Its the
country's center where they go to celebrate that type of stuff, it was
in my old
sector haha. Today for pday we couldn't go anywhere that we couldn't
walk because of the mundial protestors and other crazy people (someone
burned 300 city buses or something). So we couldn't use public transport
today for our
safety (but I'm sure we would've been fine). It seems the people in
chile use every excuse they can to have some big march, strike, protest,
or crazy public demonstration.... its interesting)
Wow. Girls camp canceled because of the Hippies. I had never heard that one before. How interesting.
Ok since when did the Rickers have a private Jet????!?!?!?!
So dad you had a big bishop week? All I have to say is THANK YOU.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen better examples of faithfully
fulfilling callings than you guys and wow being out here helps me
realize just how important that is. So thanks dad for everything you
do.
Mal! sister training leader!! How AWESOME!!! Chilean companion!? EVEN BETTER!!!!! How fun! What comuna is she from?
Well. Once again not much time to get through all I wanted to say. But I'll try.
First of all will you guys pray for me and my
companion to be able to focus on the right investigators and less
actives to help them to progress? There are sooooo many less actives and
soooo many people that listen but I just feel like we aren't doing a
good enough job of focusing in and helping the people that are really
gonna progress and the first part of the problem is that we just don't
know which ones are gonna progress or how to make enough time to focus
on all of them...and this sector has a history of no one progressing and
I really think that could be changed if we could get some inspiration
of who to focus on and how.
Well I also need your help sending me ideas of Young Womens activities, or you could even ask the young women in
the ward about their favorite activities. We
have one active YW in this ward and the rest are investigators, less
actives, and less active recent converts. So I thought about a
letter from Mal forever ago when she said no on was coming to
mutual or something so they decided to build the ym and yw program. So I decided why
not? Shoot I would give anything to help the Young Women here in Sotero
have the same type of experiences and spiritual growth I did in YW,
so we are gonna help the Lord build the YW program here in this ward
because its pretty much nonexistent here. So your prayers would be much
appreciated!
Well we had zone conference and something that I
LOVED was what president said about our "residency". I'll attach a pic
so it makes sense. He said that so many people divide their lives into
segments and make church one of them. but he drew a circle and divided
it up into parts of our life and drew another which was the kingdom of
God and explained that we had residency in the kingdom of god and even
though we may visit the other segments in the other circle our heart and
our loyalty will always be to our home country (the kingdom of god). He
explained that the danger comes when we take up residency in the other
circle, somewhere we don't belong. I thought that was such a good
explanation because people often look at church as a part of their life,
and don't understand how it must be our first priority before absolutely
everything else. But
every time we make decisions to put those segments in the other circle
before the kingdom of God we are "taking up residency" in a country
where we don't belong....
Well I am like 4 min over oops. Sorry gotta go!
