Well, another fantastic
week!! We had lots of great things happen and some exciting things going down
in Santiago!!!
Let’s start off with the
marriage of Nelson and Edna (the Haitian couple) on Saturday which was
incredible!! It went so well! The entire ward was there and we had a great
time!!! The ceremony went well, we ate delicious Haitian food and we enjoyed
spending time with all the members!! It was a really cool missionary
opportunity as well to see their family and family friends show up and to meet
the members and to be inside the church. They were dancing and enjoying
themselves.. It was really neat to see Edna and Nelson so happy on their
special day! It was really special and the ward did an incredible job of
putting this on! Highlight of the week!
On Sunday, we had a
really good turnout with our investigators and we had quite a few people show
up for our class the second hour, including a lady that was a neighbor of
another investigator!! She enjoyed the class and even appears to be really
receptive.
On Monday, we had a
missionary activity with the young men in our ward where they came to lessons
and worked with us for a couple hours! it was great to see them working with us
and excited to share the gospel! (there were 7 that came!)
Following that, we had a
Family Home Evening lesson with a family from our ward that has an investigator
living in their house named Sadrack! Elder Moore promised him that if he came
to church, he would find work, and sure enough after the second week, he found
it! We had a great family home evening and we helped Sadrack accept a baptismal
date and he along with the family are excited about that! We had a great lesson
on baptism!
It’s been a great week
and I wanted to even share some of my personal feelings about having the young
men come and visit with me! It was cool to see that even they were looking
forward to being missionaries and talked with our investigators about that!
Really neat! Made me think back on my aspirations to serve and looking back
through my mission experiences thus far, it is so worth it! The reflection and
looking back and seeing the good it turns one into by serving others and just
trying to help others is a gratifying work. It is worth doing.For anyone
deciding or debating on whether or not to go; GO.
