What
an incredible week.
This week has been
incredible hot. It looks like it is going to rain everyday so it gets really
humid and hot and then it hasn´t rained so that makes it a bit harder.
Conference was great
we were able to get all the arrangements to watch it in English so we were able
to do that. I really enjoyed conference, I received a lot of things that i need
to work on. One of my favorite of the many was by Ulises Soares about being
meek and humble. It was awesome and went well with some of the things that i
have been studying this past week. Over all it was great and when we went to
the priesthood session. Because we are in the zone where I started the mission
I was able to see a lot of people from my first area and the converts so that
was great. I really enjoyed that.
So this past week we
went to an investigator that we are teaching and he really wants to change and
stop drinking but he just falls into temptations. So we were teaching him and
trying to help him overcome this addiction. So this weekend we were a bit
worried because we really wanted him to come to conference, but on the way
there are a lot of temptations. We have been praying to strengthen him and
allow him to stay away from the temptations. This weekend his wife had to go to
Santiago because one of her family members was sick and then just the weekend
their daughter got sick, and it was just sick enough where he had to stay home
with her. It wasn´t exactly what we were thinking but he didn´t Drink and is
doing better. It was a miracle.
Then we have been
teaching a weird man the only real way that I can describe him is a giggly guy,
so you can imagine that this guy is a bit weird. He is a less active and has a
lot of problems and he hasn´t done much since we have been teaching him but we
feel like we should keep passing by. He has slowly been getting more serious
every visit that we do. This last lesson he was a bit giggly. We were talking
about the word of wisdom and my companion finally was just sick of him not
taking it seriously. So he said for just a moment forget about the spiritual
side and think of just the physical. If you don´t stop this you are going to
die before it is your time. It was really funny. I was think trying to feel
what we really needed to tell him, and he noticed that i was pondering and
asked what i was thinking about. So i told him and it really brought the spirit
and he felt it and he even got tears in his eyes and changed from being so giggly
and really thinking. It was pretty incredible.
Today we didn´t have
milk so we were going to walk down to the Colmado and buy milk and as soon as
we left the house. I stepped and a piece of glass went through my sandal and
cut my foot it was so stupid. So we had to go back home milkless and call
delivery. It wasn´t a bad cut so that was lucky.
Well I hope that you
guys are all going great and getting ready for Halloween. I love you tons! Talk
to you next week.
