so this week we head down to Punta Arenas for our
interviews, president rappleye put enfasis in a new program we recieved a month
ago from the area authority (recieved revelation from a discurso of the prophet
and got inspired to do this program) we were able to finally get it approved in
our branch and it is a program of assignments for less active, and inactive
members to give them a small assignment (not calling dependent on worthiness)
and we will be keeping track on a chart of how many have come, of our both
sectors we have already assigned 5 people and 2 have already assisted. It is a
simple yet effective new program, then I was suprised and loved the broadcast
last night it was a huge step in the work, and I laughed at how the revelation
by our area authority to do that program was approved by the Prophet and 12,
and now they come out with this which is basically the exact same thing world
wide. So I was stoked this will be awesome. Got some work to do now.
So other things that went on this week is we had an awesome
lesson!
Remember that lesson we had with our investigators last
week? I had no idea what was going to happen at our next lesson and I was
thinking all week of what we could teach them, I recieved nothing and then at
the last moment that morning I recieved a response to just read something that
you like from the book of mormon, we prepared an outline reading 3 scriptures from
when Christ came to the americas and established his church, before we entered
I was nervous and really just wanted to have a spiritual lesson, my comp asked
if we should pray before I agreed and then we entered, the lesson went really
well, we actually asked if they read and fani who always reads said no, and
hernan who not so often reads said he did, and he liked what he read, He is one
of the investigatores that loves the bible and always from the start didnt show
much interest in the bom, more then anything trying to find something that was
contrary to the bible, THEN he just happened to read in 2nefi 27-31 and it was
filled with all things he needed to know, He told me, you know I read and I
learned that god can give us other scripture, who are we to say that god cant
give us more. I couldnt believe it, I finally saw a change I didnt think I
couldve seen and it happened because of the book of mormon, we continued to
share what we had then he told me, you know, when you guys first came I just
wanted hear good things and cause I already had my bible, but now I realize I
was on a search that I didnt know I was on, and I was searching for this book,
the book of mormon, that was the first time ive heard anything like that before
and I remember the first time we taught them with my other companion, I told
him they are hard, but idk this family has a face of a mormon. We are excited
to continue to teach them about how we can gain blessings and a testimony of
our savior jesus christ in ways we never thought we could imagine. The lord
really does prepare his children.
For the training its coming along great, I like this program
they give us and we are working hard, I have come down with a small cold and
that really is taking a toll, training has already really worked my brain, but
I will care for my body and do what I can to keep going strong. Its amazing
what the lord can do for his servants. I have really been focussing hard and
have already learned so much from this experience. One thing we are working on
right now is how I can help my comp talk in lessons, he has the oppurtunity to
testify but I have been really thinking of ways I can speed his progress, we
have been taking on many new different practices and methods of learning and
are going to see how it works, ha what I love about the mission is you can
always try new things and you have so many opportunities to measure and see if
it works or not.
hmm here are some photos of me, right now the weather is
super beautiful its weird their are 3 days here every winter where the weather
