Hola a todos. So, yes, I am still in Frutillar and yes my companion went home, I left Her at the bus Terminal. My new companion is named hna monsalve, she is coming from pto montt with hna aros, my friend from punta arenas. She is from Santiago. She reminds me a lot of hna agurto, she is short and cutesy like her, so I got my Latina back. J so we just got here, I went to pto varas to go and pick her up. She seems like she will be awesome.
So, It is amazing to see how really timing is everything. God has everything so figured out. It is awesome, we have seen the lord’s hands in everything we do. We had a neat experience yesterday. We are working with an 18 year old girl, she is just like hna agurto. Her family doesn’t want anything to do with us and gets her In trouble and says all kinds of things because she meets with us. Her grandpa is a pastor of another church. We told her that she needs to pray to know if this is the true church, if everything that is happening to her is worth it or no, if their harassment is worth it or not. Well she said she prayed but waiting for the answer she fell asleep. The next day she had a dream. She said that when we first talked to her in the street, I just contacted her and gave her a pass a long card with the bom on it. She said this day has changed her life and will never forget it. So in her dream she saw as like she did that first day that we talked to her but this time it was different, this time we weren’t alone, there was someone with us, a man, a man in a white tunica, almost as if he were floating, but she couldn’t see his face. But there we were. It was so awesome to hear because really, we aren’t alone, the spirit is always with us and we have no idea. We have got company always, It was a neat experience.
Mom, can you send me those pictures that I told you I was missing. Thanks for the presents, and yes I opened everything early, thanks…J
Did you send that picture to alejandra?
Lael, kate was getting married or having another baby?
Han agurto was here this week, last Tuesday she went out teaching with us. It was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, just like old times but this time I could speak. It was amazinggggggggggggggg to see her and be with her for a couple of hours. She is amazing, but having a hard time adjusting to normal life as an ex missionary, even harder here in chile. I wish we lived a lot closer to be able to hang out after this mission, she is amazing. I love her. She made me remember who the missionary I was before and how I have slacked off and need to become the missionary that I was and even better. She always had such energy to work and go and do and do. She was an amazing missionary.
We also had our interviews with the pres. It was really good for me as well. I talked to him about how I don’t see too many results on my mission, they say if we have faith we will see baptismos, and so I guess I have no faith and aren’t seeing the results of my work. He told me that the lord measures results differently and we don’t always have to have the big grand results, I know all that but coming from him it always makes you feel better. He is a good guy and I don’t doubt his authority or calling, I know he does what the lord wants him to do. I talked to him abut alejandra and how it has been so difficult to leave her. We talked about the faith and love I had for her and how he says that my prayers now are more powerful than they ever have been in my life because of the faith and love I put behind them. I have learned more in this cambio than in any other. My testimony has grown more in the last 6 months than it ever has before. Of the scriptures, prayer, fasting, everything. It is amazing this cambio was for me, I don’t the pres if felt guilty, I feel like I have only done things for myself and it should be that way but he reassured me that this is my mission, these are my days, I am helping others and then helping me In the end. But if I could just take that faith and love that I had nad give it to all, it would be amazing. I pray that I can develop that for all the people.
We had some problems with the members this week, they seem to think that missionaries do allllllllllllllll of their callings, so we had some chatting with the branch pres and all. Got that all cleared up. People give their tesimtones about missionaries all the time, how they knocked n the door. How great will be the day when people give their testimonies and tell how their friend invited them, introduced them to the gospel, when the members do the missionary work like we are supposed to .when the new converts stay active because they have the members support. It will be an amazing day to see.
So I am wayyyyyyyy excited for my new comp, it will be great. She has been no the mission for 6 months. So fairly new still. I am pumpedddddddddddddddd, it will be amazing, talk to you soon.
Loe ya all,
