Well hello there birthday mamma!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!! Man things
are really good here in Chile.:) We are good, awesome in fact. We are working
hard and seeing miracles. We had an awesome week this week and yes Carlos
still is moving along great and Camila went out of town almost all last week
because of Ferrial. (18 de Septiembre) I believe it is the Day of Independence
for Chile, but they party all weekend until today. We had an activity at the
church on Friday to celebrate Ferrial. We all ate churripan and the members
danced the la cueca. La cueca is the national dance of Chile and it was so cool
to watch! But also we got a new investigator and met a lot of menos activos (less actives) at the activity so it was
a success!!:)
As for Isaias he is in Valdivia for one more week for his
chemo therapy then he will be here, and Diego is actually a menos activo but he
is doing great and we are helping to reactivate him. We are going to play ping
pong in the church tomorrow with him and the ward!! As for President Isom, they
are here, well in Osorno, but they are in the mission at least. We haven’t met
them yet but I think we will soon.:) And lastly as for missionaries in the
mission I think somewhere around 180? but honestly I have no idea. There are
hermanas in the other half of Villarrica and this next cambio (transfer) we are going to receive one
pair of hermanas or elders here and our sector will be cut in half, which is ok
cause its huge!! Also, I am going to baptize the investigator of the hermanas of
Pucon!!!:) so I am really looking forward to that!!
Yes I believe that we are going to watch conference in the
church but once again I’m not completely sure.:) haha but yes we are going to
watch it. I hope I can in English but I think it’s only going to be in Spanish,
but it’s all good I can understand mostly.:) Thank you for the points of advice
and I am going to do that!!:) Honestly it is so crazy September has passed so
fast so far. It’s unreal!!
For my spiritual thought this week I want to talk about a
talk that was given on Sunday on prayer. Prayer is so important and is one of
the first things we teach in our lessons. God is our loving Heavenly Father and
because he loves us, we have prayers to communicate and talk with him. I think it’s
funny that we have a commandment to pray often. Because we receive so many
blessings and also comfort and knowledge also when we pray to our Heavenly Father.
So my challenge for you this week is to pray not only in the morning and night
but say little prayers during the day to thank him and also to ask for guidance. I know if we listen, God will answer our prayers.:)
Wow that is awesome about the party for Mel. I bet it was
awesome and I bet she loved the tickets!!! Oh man I love salsa and I wish I would
have been there to help but I’m glad you girls got it all done!!:) And no I don’t
mind the extra salsa;) haha. That is so cool that you guys got to go up the
canyon and thank you so much, I loved the fotos!!:)
Thank you mom for everything and I love you more!!:) Hope
you have an awesome birthday. I’ll try and send you pics later because this
computer can’t..:/ but thank you so much for the scripture and I have actually
been focusing on this. I can testify that the Lord will help you and bless
you if you open your mouth for the Lord’s cause.:) Love you and talk to you next
week!!:)
Love you momma!!
