sup fam!
nother week wearing the rubber off the
bottom of my shoes, haha but all is well here on the coast of barrancas!
last week i talked about the miricles that have been happing in the
sector, well god has continued to bless us, at the moment we now have 4
dates for babtisms all in the months of september as well as a few other
dates as goals with a few other people, but as every great thing
happens its kinda like looking down a barrel of a gun at some moments,
let me explain, we have rosa, alva, diego, juan manuel, manuel, fitler
and patricia, and veronica, all of these people that are in this list
are people that are progressing and that i am teaching, all of them
except juan manual need to get married, this would be 6 wedding that i
will have to get going, as well as one of this couple does not have any
papers to get married here in chile, we figured a way so that we can
send them to the hatian embassy where all of the laws of haiti apply,
there we can get them married, but anyways will all of the success that
god has given us i can see where it comes from, obedience and giving it
our all, god really wont bless us if we put in 99% or even 100%, i know a
person who is school they were always looking to get more than 100%,
and now i understand, we are looking to give 100% we are going to give
200%, all that we have and all that we dont have, thats what it takes,
so
my french creal is coming along, for those of you who dont know that is
the language that the hatianos speak, a while back i made the dicision
to learn this language, i am now to the point where i can camunicate
pretty good, lots of verbs i dont know but i understand, a few week back
when i made the decision i had to give a babtismal interview to a lady
who only spoke this language, god blessed me in the time to be able to
understand everything that she was saying but leaving that interview i
decided its time to speak like a hatian!
so i
say the eagle has landed becuase THE PACKAGE HAS COME!!! a box full of
stuff that i have been waiting for from my family has finally come!!!!!!
it took like 3 months but i finally got it!
so
one thing that i learned this past week while i was teaching elder
Nuñez was that we waist a lot of time planning for lessons that dont
ever happen, during weekly planning, we have made the decision to
change how this whole thing runs, we have stopped planning for lessons
and the doctrine we teach and have started to plan exactly for the needs
of people and what we need to accomplish in the week.
i
have told you all about the goal we have had to get the attendance of
church up to 70 by october, well yesterday we passed our goal we hit 74!
now we have changed goals a bit and we are going to try and hit 80 but
maintian this number, as well as if all goes planned we hopefully will
babtized a good number of people this next months.
yesterday
in church on of my investigators was talking to one of the members, he
found out about priesthood blessings, as he found out about this he
asked us for one and explained that he has faith, as we gave him a
blessing he starting crying in the middle, after the blessing he was
crying nonstop when he finally got wind agian he explained that he had
never felt such peace in his life, and he knew that he needs to be
babtized,
the lord continues to bless us here
in this sector, so long as we are obedient focused and as we put in this
200% the lord will do the rest. i hope you all can try and apply this
in every situation in life.
i love you all,
thankyou for your example to me and your love, and for your support, i
know i am not perfect and my letters arent always the best but thankyou
for always being there!
love
Elder Kay Anderson
