Taylor Swift in Chile

I´ve had some super amazing experiences... well for me they were. So thursday i contacted this evangelical pastor, he had a super nice house and a car which you know that he was taking the donations that should be edifying Gods kingdom and living off of them. So he started to slam Joseph Smith and how the BOM isn't worthy to be scripture and how we dont need prophets because if we believe in Christ then we have the authority and he was interpreting scripture like a weiner... So needless to say i was pissed. This is what i wanted to say.... oh really so who gave you the authority to interpret scripture? And if i believe in Christ and recieve the authority of God then your members don´t need you because they can go start their own churches, that would suck for you since they donate their money to your church thinking they will get salvation and all you are givin them is FALSE HOPE!! So why don´t you ask God if he would go organize a church without a prophet and apostles because he would not do that! Now i can pretty much say all that in Spanish, not exactly that but i can get that same point across, but i could not speak, my tongue was bound - the Spirit was not with me. All i could say was that he needed to trust in God and pray. I struggled for like 15 minutes to say anything while my comp was talking to him. I was physically tired after that and we had to sit down. It was a really good experience for me that showed me without the Spirit i cant do anything, everything i have is because of God, and he will be defended in the humble way that he wants to. Earlier that day we found a lady that i taught my second day here, well if you could call it that, i could only say a little bit but this time i feel like i taught really well, so im thankful to God for all that i have learned and i'll just keep going. So we have a baptism this sunday, Miguel is so ready, is family is progressing too so were thinkin that he´ll get baptized and then he can baptize his family, how sweet would that be!! We also found another family and the mom wants her son to learn more about God so we taught them the first lesson then taught him how to pray cause the first prayer he said was a memorized catholic one, but when he prayed the second time i really felt the Spirit so strong, really awesome!! So yeah keep Miguel in your prayers i really want to see him get baptized, his family is so cool, his wife made me a sweet cup with pictures of some cool places in chile and a quote with my name at the bottom. Katie is kickin butt in rodeo, i knew she would. Yeah four months is coming up fast!! I love the mission, i wouldnt change where i am for the world, even tho i miss you all i know ill be blessed for life from this. Oh the talk that i love by Holland is called saftey for the soul, its way good, it talks about how in these last days satan is gonna really attack us as individuals and the family, but we have the book of mormon to help us. oh kate i heard taylor swift the other day, reminded me of you, i thought i wasn´t gonna hear that broad for two years, i aint that lucky. ] gosh what else happened! Really sweet dog fight that ended in Elder Jaime breaking this lady´s cane and she was so pissed, it was so funny. Alright time is up, that´s all for this week, i have a cold but other than that health is good. Mom would die if she could see how muddy i am from soccer this week!! Thank you for all you do, i love you all so much be safe and keep praying, i need all the prayers i can get!!
