Really good week! I enjoyed it! Let’s see here,
Last week on Thursday we had divisions and I was in our sector here with Elder
Scott!! We do zone leader divisions and we ended up being together funny
enough. We had a great day as well! We shared with our neighbor two doors down
who really opened up to our message and what we had to share! We talked about
repentance and forgiveness. We started the lesson and ended it completely
changing the theme, but that is how it is at times! Elizabeth opened up to us
and really pondered what we had to say. At first, she was somewhat interrogative
with her questions and comments but after that lesson she was really nice and
open with us and even came to church on Sunday!
We had a lesson with Mr.
Cool (a Haitian rapper that we are teaching) We have been teaching him now for
the past week and he is really nice and speaks a little bit of English. We read
2 Nephi: 31 with him and we talked about baptism and he was totally
down! But then he told us that he is moving!!!! But that’s alright. He is
living in Talca now (a city to the south of Chile!)
On Saturday, we received
a phone call from Pierre telling us that he was moving too! And he wanted to
see if we could help him! So we made a change of plans on Saturday, called an
Hermano with a van and we went to go and move his house. He moved just outside
of our ward in the neighboring ward to the west of ours. We didn’t get around
to talking about details that he moved out of the ward and that he would be
better off attending another ward because we were moving and because we wanted
to have to a lesson and tell him that. Sure enough, he showed up 10 minutes
early to church that Sunday (Service is the way to people’s hearts)
We passed by Sunday night
with the sister missionaries of that ward and we explained the ward boundary
lines and how he lived outside of the ward and he took it great! He has a date
and everything! and I even think it’s a blessing in disguise because there are
great Haitian members in this other ward.
On Monday, we had interviews
with President Gwilliam, which are always fantastic!
Yesterday, we had a great
lesson with a man by the name of Patricio. He is an Evangelist and he loves sharing with us. He came to
conference two weeks ago and enjoyed it! We talked about The Bible and then
about The Book of Mormon being a story of a family leaving to the Americas. Bit
by bit, he is becoming more receptive to what we have to share. We also threw
darts a little before heading back home.
Lastly, we competed in the finals for our March Madness Tourney. If you know me, you know I wasn't going to lose. You are looking at the Santiago South March Madness Champions.

All in all, it was a good
week.
