Soccer, Haitians, and Yummy Food

Ok so this has been a great week! We saw some miracles and we were able to have lots of wins!

Last week we had some challenges in the work. It seemed that we couldn’t get anything to go our way. Almost all of our set lessons that we had with people fell through, nobody came to church on Sunday. At the end of the week, we were a little beat up. 

However, on Monday, we had a great day. I was with Elder Leles, a Brazilian, on divisions in my sector. We had a lesson with a man by the name of Renee Jonas. we shared lesson one and we were able to draw out on a paper the different parts of the lesson and really try to help him understand it and he did! He speaks good Spanish and is a Hattian that had lived in the Dominican! He even wants to be baptized!

Afterwards we had a Family Home Evening with the Bishop and a part member family (Enrique is the dad and is a member, and Fernanda is his girlfriend who came to church before) We shared a short lesson, watched a video, and then played some games with the family. It was really good having them over and having the two families build a relationship together.

The following day, we had a great day as well. We taught a mom and son that had come to a church activity before and we were able to have a good lesson and invite them to the church! The son recently had a major surgery after falling out of a building! It’s a miracle the guy is alive.

Then, later we had lesson with Sadrac, who is a Hattian that is cousins with our recent convert who was recently baptized! We had a good lesson and he is really looking forward to his baptism. He has a little over 1 month in Chile and is still learning Spanish, but he can speak a little bit of English with us which is nice!

Today, we played soccer and it was fun but really tiring in the sun! It’s still really hot here in Chile!

I am really happy and grateful for the opportunity that I have had to be a missionary. It really is neat to help people and to be a servant of the Lord. I know that this is his church and that there really does exist a church that is true. Many have that doubt amongst a world of many denominations but I have had some time to really think, study and pray on this and I know it to be true. This really is the Church of Jesus Christ.
