hello
everyone!
today will be a little
short and crazy, haha to first explain, today was a great people but crazy, we
ended up having to go on the other side of Chile, the side closest to Argentina
to a hospital, my comp needed to do a few examines,(not going to go into detail
why) but it took about 3 hours from my house to the hospital, Hermana Woodward
met us there, we spent the whole day in these hospitals working the system
trying to get everything done in one day so we didn’t have to come back another
day, today for sure was an English day, my comp speaks English so Hermana Woodward
just talked to us in English all day, we talked about everything, it was really
great to get an inside on the life of president, what he thinks of the mission
and life perspective, after talking with Hermana Woodward I realize how much
they are really just trying to run the mission exactly how the lord wants it.
and really, I get to see the results, this mission truly is being run by the lord.
after all the hospital stuff she took us out to eat at McDonalds, first time in
my mission eating McDonalds, it was super great! then after that we ended up
going with her to pick up her kids from school, it was cool to get to know one
of her kids a little bit more. these kids truly sacrifice a lot of us as
missionaries as well.
as far as work is
going, haha I am loving it! don’t get me wrong last week was a rough week but
me and my comp are working, and working, and it is super great, I get along so well
with my comp, we became super great friends super-fast, I see a lot of me in
him,(haha he is the same height weight and shoe size as me) as well as he
teaches the same way as me and loves walking fast, so that’s a super great
thing!
this week we took the
fecha with Claudia and put it for the 8th, this Friday, haha first time I have
made a fecha even close! Claudia really is ready for baptism and really
has a really bright future,
with Estevan he has a
fecha for the 16th, he is trying to get his life a little bit in order, he has
a kid that is going through lots of surgeries and stuff. his son has 2 years
old and he has 27.
we are working with a
girl named Loura, this week we want to put a fecha meta with her for the 23,
she has attended church a ton just not in the past month.
my classes of English
are getting super hard to teach, especially because I am now teaching them
alone! hopefully this new Hermana from the states who just started her mission
can help me a bit. teaching English is super hard! but about 30 people come to
my class. Hermana Woodward was super impressed with this class and is going to
start sending me materials so I can teach a little better.
this Christmas we are
really focusing on the light the world project, I only got one more Christmas
left in the mission, let’s make the best out of it.
I really appreciate
all the love and prays I get from you all. for sure see them in my life. I can
see the lord doing his thing in my life every day. and not even in small ways.
today we got into some examines that the next opening would have been the 19th
of this month, we prayed and the next thing you know a lady come out and says.
you know, I feel like I should let you guys get an appointment today, so she
moved a few things around to get us in.
this morning I prayed
for a few special chances to help some people, and those chances came to me, I didn’t
have to look for them, we got to talk to a security guard about his life, how
he just had a kid and in the testing church. he just finished the book of Mormon
and wants to know more, sadly he doesn’t even live in my mission, but we found
out that there are missionaries visiting him.
I really love the mission, and Christmas, and working on Christmas
as a missionary, haha its super-hot outside but nothing like a little sweaty
face to get the people to sit down in the shade for a minute and listen to the Lords
message,
love you all.
