Tomorrow we are moving to a diferent house. This week we had some great lessons with the people we are teaching. We had fabian and his sister, Valentina, and a haitian named Ilfrid that came to our acitivites friday and saturday… but they did not come to church. We were pretty bummed. We did not want to show up to church with nobody so we went and found a kid whose parents still have not given him permission to be baptized but we have a meeting with them wednesday. Today we woke up at 6 am to do visa stuff for my companion. we waited outside in a line for 2 hours in the cold and then inside a gym for 2.5 hours more. well they told us after to come back in a month. Things that happened during my week: We helped a family move houses. We knocked a lot. I learned the cueca at an activity. And I had an intercambio with the zone leaders. My district finished the week with 7 interviews! Always on the Hunt to find people. We are SO excited about the temple. The members here in Quillon for sure can be difficult but they all are VERY EXCITED to have the temple and are willing to share with everyone about the temple. This week I really learned how easy it is to stop knocking when nobody listens. I actually find it very easy to knock and talk with everyone because if they do not want anything you just move on and start over. But I always feel so amazing just to share and testify about the truthfulness of the temple. I feel very grateful that rejection does not affect me. We always find the prepared one after many rejections. I am doing great! We are trying to find lots of people to bring to the temple!!!! I gave a talk on sunday again about honesty! I loved a phrase from a talk that says  "We must learn to be righteous in the dark. One definition of this phrase is that we must learn to be honest when no one would know if we were dishonest." We can fool anyone here on the earth, but we can never fool God! 

Miss you guys! Look up the chile concepción temple! Photos of the inside just came out!

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...

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...
