The Work is Awesome in Fruitillar

4/09/2007

Well hello there. Congrats to granny for her baptism. Her pictures are absolutely adorable. They are so cute and she is so dang skinny. That is really exciting that she finally got baptized, and so now in a year she can go to the temple and be sealed to poppy, that will be rad. So, a few months after i get home we can all go to the templeI will get to be there for that. That will be sweet, so everybody better Start planning becuase i can be there for that part.

So frutillar is awesome becaue they absoluely love us here. Yesterday in church all of the members in Thier testimonies thanked us for being here and how awesome it is that we are here in the Branch and how much the Branch needs us. They said that elder holland came here to frutillar when he had his calling here in chile and he said that he felt something special here and he immediately caled slc to tell them that they needed to add on to the chapel because he knew the pepole were going to do great things here. So that is cool to know that we are going to be apart of that and that we are here in the Start of it all, the Start of the growth of the work here. The people are soooo ready for us hnas. It is awesome, we really can get into places that the elders can´t and it is aweosme. We have seen so many miracles here already in a few short days. They have accepted us very very well here.
The only thing that stinks that is that we are going into winter and we have nothinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg to heat us up, we are totally dying. We keep waiting for the misión to buy us somethng to heat us up but the dumb elders keep forgetting to ask. So we are pretty much frozen allllllllllllll the time. I don´t even like going home or having to shower or anything where you have to be in the house or change. We heat up water bottles and then hug them. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The trail of our faith.

But we are totally exhausted becuase we have taught more than ever. We have taught a ton and so it is so hard becuase it is more exhausting than just walking around all day becuase you get spiritually drained. But it is aweosme too. We are really seeing how timing is everythinggggggggg. How people just happen to fall into our path, how we just happen to find people, meet people. Or whatever. It is amazing. I love it. Nothng is a coincidence when it comes down to it. The lord is showing us that he really has his hand in everthing and even when we don´t know we are working for him and doing what he wants, he is still using us and whispering things to us. It was aweowme at chruch yestrday they said there was a ton of people there, more than usual and they said thanks to us for the people that we were visitng, all of the menos activos that we have visited all came to chruch and we had investigators and all, so it was cool
We had a baptismal invterview set for sat so we could have a baptism this next week of an elderly couple. Well, in the end their faily started talking trash and now they don´t want to get baptized. And they were sooooooo ready and knew everything and were pumped and happy and committed. Satan really knows how to get at us, really knows how to change us. It is so sad because now they aren´t happy like before, they are different, the light has been drained out of them, they just aren´t the same. So we were bummed but going to keep working with them. They are starting to use their minds to reason things out instead of go wtih what they feel in their hearst.
But it is awesome here with being able to go places where the missionaries never have been becuase they never had time. We are truly blessed to be here, expect we don´t have heat. But we have sooooooo much work, we have found soooo many new people. It is so exciting. I love it. We really did have an amazing week. We are so blessed. We are finding people left and right that are just so ready and are seeing the miracles in their lifes. It is just up to us if we are going to be able to teach them well enough to keep their testimonies firm and true. That they can feel the spirit as we are with them to gain a testimony of the things that we share wth them. We have to keep on top of it and do the best that we really can. It is cool to be with my comp, she has a ton of energy and we are having a lot of fun. She is really funny, we laugh a lot. It is crazy becuase she goes home soon. Such is life. But she always tells me that she is so glad that she is here with me for her last transfer, she is very happy. So that is alwasy nice. So that is me. Here in frutillar living it up with colddddddddddddness.
