Hey family and friends!
This week has been super awesome. We had a conference all
the way in punta arenas again so that was a fun 3hr bus trip. But it was such
an amazing conference. Every time our president talks the spirit is super
strong. We learned some sweet things to apply for our nice little branch here
in puerto natales. HOW YOU DOING EVERYONE!? COMO ESTAN EN SUS MISIONES!? haha I
couldnt find my address book for awhile but I found a lot of you. we cant send personal
letters so here you are on my letter to the family. Send me a little email or
something! Sorry I havent written letters we never have times and it takes so
long to get there and back much easier correo.
But yeah awesome week! the weather is super great here in
natales which is super weird, it snowed a lot last month but this month its
cold in the night but theres been no rain or snow and in the day its pretty
nice actually. I bought my first MATE! im stoked, ha cant drink out of it til
after the mission but im officially chileno stoked.
We have found some awesome people this week!!!!
There is this one kid 18 years old that assisted this week
at church, he is (was) the boyfriend of someone in our branch. but not anymore
haha but came still. I laughed because it would be kinda akward for a breakup
in a branch with 30 people but hey if thats not a sign of true intention then I
dont know what is. This guy is awesome though, Also we are giving a ton of
assignments to those that are inactive or menos activo, one we gave this week
was to our recent convert. Super awesome guy but due to his family its
complicated. But we asked him to accompany us to the class of principios of
evangelio and bore his testimony. Also during priesthood I gave a little obra
misional lesson using a list our president gave us for ways the members can be
more part of the work. We are going to start telling our obra misional stories
every week. This branch has so many awesome members and the spirit is so
strong. One thing I was really thinking about is how we can help them remember
that this church here isnt just a building it is a piece of the kingdom of god
here on earth. Some things I told them they could do was to read the book of
mormon in public places or at there work in off times just so people ask them.
I also told them to try to think of how they could summarize what they believe
in a min or 2 if they ever have the chance. We talked about even more but dont
have time to tell you them all ha. But they were excited to try simple ways. We
dont have much members that can help us but its amazing what the lord can help
you do with so little.
Another cool experience was we went to the hospital because
the spouse of one of our members was sick (not a member) and we got to give a
blessing. I had such a sweet spiritual experience. It was amazing how strong
the spirit was as we blessed her. Ha the hospital room here have 10 people in
the same room so it was interesting. Ha I know why we have a rule not to go to
the hospital looking for opurtunities to give blessings because after seeing
all the old and sick people I wanted to help them all and we wouldve never left
the hospital.
Im really excited with our district though we are finding
awesome people and getting things going. ha thanks for all the stories mom and
dad. haha even some more interesting ones like the stretchy yoga man and lusks
dog problems. hah always a delight to read.
love you guys a ton. YO QUIERO SABER COMO ESTAN LOS DEMAS DE
MIS AMIGOS EN LA MISION O MIS AMIGOS QUE NO ESTAN SERVIENDO, LES QUIERO!
