Hey Family!
So this week was a good one. Finally had the oppurtunity to
talk with our investigator who is a part member family, (daniela) and she had
her interview this week and she is going to be baptized this saturday. YESS! so
stoked. She only has 9 years but she knows so much about the church and really
wants to get baptized. Her aunt is really catolica and didnt want her to get
baptized and tried to talk her out of it, but after teaching her and with the
help of her mom and sister she is getting baptized, and that will complete that
family. I am really excited for that though.
I have been sick for the second half of the week, but
continued to work, nothing big, I think I just have been really tired lately
and my immune is down but Im feeling a lot better. The sun has been pretty
strong the last few days and that kills when you already have a headache. But
all is well.
Had a fun excperience we asked this old man if he needed
help cutting his field of tall grass. And he accepted, to cut it he gave us
that tool that the grim reaper has, haha it was pretty fun to use, hard work
with that thing but once I got the hang of it I was chopping that grass like a
champ. ha with a tie and all I started sweating pretty bad, probably grossed
out the next couple people I contacted cause my face was covered in sweat.
Probably think gringos are so weird.
We have really been working hard. Its crazy to think that I
might only have one more week left here in los muermos, still I can stay, but I
find out this week.
I have really really learned patience this cambio as well as
learned some good spanish and am continuing to study and work hard. The mission
is such a sweet time to develop good traits. trials and all,
I also had the oppurtunity today to go to a place called
saltos de petrohue, with my zone and another zone as well as president rappleye
and hna rappleye. It was so beautiful I posted a couple photos of it. It was
sweet because there were rapids and waterfalls as well as Volcan Osorno and
huge green mtns in the background. Was way fun. It is pretty sweet to serve in
such a beautiful place.
That rock climbing looks really fun dad, we should rock
climb here in southern chile someday ha
mom hahah that play set is so funny. it has a classy modern
touch to it. ha my nephews and nieces are going to be lucky and spoiled. haha
fun stuff, carter is way animated now thats crazy!
I have really realized there is always things to be positive
about on the mission and have been looking at all of those things especially
during harder days.
One cool thing I got to do this week is give a blessing of
comfort to our mamita, it was my first blessing of comfort and it was a cool
experience. Also since our president wasnt here this week once again we had to
do all the fun work for the rama ha. I had to prepare the sunday school lesson
for our rama this week it was a fun experience ha, taught about the keys of the
priestood and the duties and where did each come from and all that good stuff.
It is fulfilling to be able to teach a class and get them excited and all in
spanish. But went well, haha hopefully ohyeah also came across a weird beatle
huge bug thing so caught it and brought it to our house, ill put a picture of
that as well
Overall learning a lot and working hard, even when its hard
I love it.
Take care this week!
Mucho Cariño,
Elder Carter
