Haha Mal, its wierd not eating dinner huh? I thought i was going to
starve at night but i´m doing ok, i guess thats because we get
breakfast and a big lunch though. Wow i thought my mission president
was strict.... nope, guess not in comparison haha. WOW you guys teach A
LOT of people, the people here are more open then like european
missions but they are all really busy, we can´t knock doors because they
live in tall apartment buildings with closed gates, and they definitely
have a different culture here haha but I´m loving it and we are still
almost always really busy with appointments.
And as far as the earthquake, was it in the south?? I
assume so, there was a tremor here and my comp felt it and looked over
at me and i was moving back and forth but in all honesty I didn´t even
notice hahaha I guess they have tremors here all the time i´ll let you
know if I actually feel one haha but no worries everything is just
fine!!
Alex hope you had a GREAT bday!!!!! Its been a fun
week! Halloween was different haha pretty uneventful and really empty so
it was hard to contact when all of our plans fell through but we did
our best! We drew a face on a pumpkin and that was about it.... really
fun halloween...... or not.
Jake i got your letters!! IT MADE MY WEEK!!!
Seriously I don´t care how long ago you wrote them just to get something
fun in the middle of the week was AWESOME. Seriously its like the best
day of my life when I get a letter or a dear elder!
Things with investigators are going really well! Its
been another miracle filled week! We have been teaching Mario (the one
that came to church on his own last week to investigate) He has SO MANY
questions so our lessons with him last forever but he is progressing so
fast and we just see the spirit working in him its awesome. Our first
lesson with him this week his questions were good but a little
skeptical, I left the lesson just feeling horribly worried that he would
let the physical evidence that he wanted ruin his faith and his
conviction of the spiritual evidence he is receiving. So i was praying
about it because i was just so worried about how we would convince him
that it was true etc and I just got this strong impression to STOP
WORRYING. It was like i heard a voice say, ¨Stop worrying, he is my
son.¨ It was crazy how simple it was but I realized, he isn´t MY
investigator, he is HIS son. HE brought him to church, not me. It is
by HIS spirit that we can know the truth, not what I say. He has a
plan, HE knows how to best help each of his children NOT ME. So I
stopped worrying about it, I just turned to my comp who was also
worrying and said, I think its all going to be ok. The next lesson we
had was a recorrido of the chapel and the temple..... AWESOME. His
doubts were gone, he still didn´t understand everything but when we
entered into the first little waiting room of the temple you could just
see that he was finally understanding exactly what we meant by the
feelings of the spirit. We left and he just kept saying ¨Que raro!¨
Which means How wierd!!! I asked him what he meant and he said ¨There
really is something different in there....... I really felt something
different then we are just out walking on the street...... but its a
gooood different¨ The rest of the recorrido was just awesome, he
looooves learning and it is so awesome to see someone progress so
quickly in the gospel!
Also, a miracle this week. I was fasting for 3
investigators in specific, Mario, Maria Eugenia (who hasn´t been
progressing or doing practically anything), and Carolina (who we had
practically given up on because we haven´t been able to succesfullly
have an appointment with them in 6 weeks).... Before church we couldn´t
get ahold of any of them, but I kneeled down and prayed for each of them
specifically to come to church (which none of them have in the past 6
weeks except for mario last week) we got to church..... and throughout
sacrament meeting ALL of them came. I can´t even explain what a huge
miracle that is... we have been working SOOOOO hard to get Carolina and
maria eugenia to come with no success but this week they just came! Out
of nowhere because we couldn´t even call them! MIRACLES HAPPEN!!!! Once
again I learned that God ALWAYS answers prayers when we ask in faith.
Well I have to go now, but i love you all, have a great week!!
Ciao!
