Well HELLO!
Not too much happened this week. I saw one of my favorite members from my last sector and she told me that 3 of my converts were able to be in the celestial room with the prophet in the temple during the 3rd session. I WAS SO HAPPY. I had an intercambio with Elder Wood and we just found all day. We played a game that you could not contact people the same way twice or you had to buy the other one pizza. We both won. YES. I was with my brother in the mission on halloween and at the end of the day we both were like yeah we for sure need to trick or treat at least to one house. so yes we did. and yes we got candy. Then we got to the house and lights out was not for another hour but we did not have candy to give out so we gave out pamphlets of the Concepciòn temple haha! We are in finding mode (like always).... just searching out the chosen people. Glades is good. She is going to be baptized Saturday. Jerallin and her mom came to church and hopefully the daughter accepts a baptismal date. We had a game night friday night and I taught everyone how to play big booty and NOBODY actually understood what was going on. Like they did... but no.
I miss you all. I hope you all can start to plunge into the scriptures! They are so amazing to read. Sometimes I really do ask why don't more people get baptized. Why don't people listen to us. Why don't people just come running to us. I mean it is true isn't it. It would seem like it should be easier... but I love the video by Elder Holland that says "why would it EVER be easy for you if it was NEVER easy for Him". He asked Heavenly Father to take this cup from him... but no he did not. I am not complaining at all. I love hard work. I am ready for a challenge. But I always LOVE thinking of my savior and EVERYTHING he felt when sometimes it feels like it is hard here.
HELP: We are trying to become even more creative. For those of you RM`s or anyone really....
1. what was the funnest activity that you did in your mission. (on P day or like in a ward... we are trying to plan more activities).
2. what was the best way you contacted people
3. best scriptures to commit people to do something.

Story: we had to make sure glades went to church but we went late and her gate was already locked and she could not hear us bc she is mute so we found that stick and opened her window and curtain and she thought someone was trying to rob her at first. Then we took this happy pic

THE MTC- Week #5

Image
Hey peeps! This week was so insane. So first off, next time I email I will be in Chile! I leave Monday afternoon and take a Red Eye there. Also, i am officially the oldest in the MTC, which means that people see my little green sticker on my nametag and think we are so cool. It is actually kind of funny because I never felt that way about people with stickers before. We also got a new district in our zone, so me and comp had to go meet them and do a question and answer as the zone leaders. I feel like it was JUST me yesterday, so it felt super weird. My district sang in sacrament on sunday a mashup of "come, come ye saints and lead kimdñy light" and let me tell you it was bomb. We also had to plan the sacrament meeting as the ZLs and we had to choose 6 speakers and every time their name was called in sacrament they would give us a death glare like UH WHY DID YOU PICK ME. We also had to teach priesthood for the branch, so to say the least this week was busy. Something kind...

In the words of my brother in law Jeff... What´s up party people, This week was so good. We followed president´s orders and organized and cleaned out the whole area book- threw out all the people who did not go to church or did not show interest. So we went through every progress record and lesson record to see who we would save. We ended up with a pile of like 50 people to call and show up at their door. Well out of the 30 that we had time to go to this past week... about 5 have interest... and two came to church.... but he is living with a Venezuelan. We are going to talk to them this week about marriage. We are going to visit the rest this week. Yuyu came to church. She is so close to baptism ah. I really do not know how else to help her. She knows everything and wants to believe it is true and thinks it is true but she wants a yes or no answer. We have taught her she has already received her answer but she won´t accept that. We even taught her with a member psychologist who tot...

Week #7

ALOHA. I miss hawaii this week as it randomly got REALLY hot. It is always cold in the morning and night but the HEAT came during the day. Ok wow I always freak out when I am writing because I always have so many things happen and I have so little time. BUT sorry no pics this week, I forogt my chord. Anyways in no specific order there are some crazy things. So missionaies dont eat dinner here. We eat a freakishly large lunch, like very large, and i swear I am going to explode after after time i eat. Andyou have to eat it all. Not gonna lie, I have stuffed some things in my pocket. So we eat at  1:30  with members and then eat a snack when we get home at  9:30 . Also today is Chile's independance day (equiv of our  4th of july ). So I guess it a law here that everyone has to have a chile flag in their window or hanging up outside or you will get a ticket, so we had to go buy one under the direction of the mish prez. BUT i was trying to learn my vocab and i acciden...
