Hullo family and friends!!
Well another great week in the mission, lets see.... oh i have been forgetting to tell you that for the last 3 weeks i have been sleep talking in spanish so i hope that means i have improved. Elder Saranzig from Ecuador always hears me in the night, he says i bear my testimony and teach lessons, thats right, even atnightime i dont stop. Maybe im dreaming about future investigators!! Who knows!! But yeah the language is going good, talking about the gospel is getting easier but to try to talk about other things is a bit of a struggle but I´ve been told several times that for being here only two months i speak really well, i dont know about that tho. We found a really sweet girl named Camila and her little brother Benjamin, we taught them a short lesson about prayer and they both prayed after, in the prayer the girl talked about how much she liked our visit! The spirit was really strong. So we set up another appiontment but the next time we met her mom who was tan tan fome ( so so lame). She didn´t want anything to do with us and won´t let us teach the daughter even tho technically we don´t need her permission since the daughter is 19 but we are just gonna respect her and pass by in the future. But we did have a sweet lesson with this old guy named marcos, we taught him a few weeks back but he didn´t really understand the bom and was afraid to read it and just wanted to stick with the Bible... but we fixed that with the spirit. We broke down lesson one like crazy and taught about prophets and the authority and he understands everything perfectly!! When we asked him if he got an answer to his prayers if he would get bapitzed he said yes!! We didn´t set a fecha with him but we will tomorrow! Miguel was confirmed and recieved the aronic priesthood this sunday, wow the spirit was so strong there, now he can baptize his family!! I´m really excited for that. The rest of the fam is moving along pretty well, they really like the church so hopefully soon he can baptize them. Im attatching what pics i can to send to ya! Yesterday we had a sweet lesson with Margarita and she understands the whole restoration and everything now and she told us she would be baptized too if she recieves her answer, so we are waiting on that one, hopefully this week too. Sometimes it gets way tough with people not wanting to listen but not everyone is ready to hear. And that just makes me think about what they need to hear, what i need to say to them, so i just gotta keep stretching myself. This saturday we get to see Elder Scott give a talk!! The whole mission is getting together with santiago west to see him. It´s gonna be so sweet!! Dang we are coming up on Halloween in another 2 months, thats so crazy, time is flying by, it goes even faster when we work hard. I really love the mission and the people of our ward, one other thing, i forgot to pray before a lesson and when Elder Mitchell turned the time over to me i had nothing to say, that´s never happened before, usually i have the words in english and i may struggle to translate them but this time there was nothing, i didnt struggle speaking, i just didn´t know what to say, so that goes to show that without the spirit you cant work. The spirit is key, really we are just guides to help the people out and as the study and pray the spirit testifies to them and they make the changes themselves. I´m already half way through this second change... way crazy one more here in Santiago and then ill probably head down south. That would be way sweet cause thats out in the country where i belong!! It is fun to live in the ghetto cause i never will again after the mish... we heard gunshots the other night, that was pretty crazy, don´t worry all the flytes here are so stinkin scrawny and too high and toasted to do anything to us. Haha i did contact three drunks this week, that was pretty interesting. Well everyone ive gotta run, i hope things are going great at home, it sounds like they are, just keep prayin for me i need all the prayers I can get. Thanks for all you do for me!! I love you all!!!
