It's been another great week here in Villa el Sol.
We had divisions AGAIN this week haha so I got to go to the barrioTupahue and work in their sector for a day with Hermana Meeks from
Oceanside, CA. She's awesome, love her!
This week our schedule
got mixed around just a little bit because, instead of having our
zone/district meeting on Wednesday, we had it on Thursday. I guess
President wanted to give the Zone Leaders and Cordinadoras more time to prepare
their presentations because they came from a super long training meeting
that came from Pres [who had just come from another super long training
meeting (8hours!) with Elder Ballard and some members of the seventy].
Pretty much the whole theme of the conference they had was D&C
88:73 [Hastening missionary work]. They touched a LOT of topics and gave us a ton of great help and
tips, it was awesome! The spirit was super strong and we really could
feel the URGENCY in the work, and I loved it! One of the biggest topics
they hit was about talking with EVERYONE! So my comp and I have been
working a lot harder in being able to talk with everyone. It's been really
cool and we've already had lots of mini cool experiences.
Another topic they talked about was consecrating ourselves as
missionaries. It was awesome and obviously EXACTLY what we needed to
hear and the exact direction that we needed to take. We are super amped
and excited to kick it up a notch HIGHER and keep working. :) :) :)
This week the only day we taught Karina was the day I was in Tupahue, but my comp said it went really well, but once again she went
to Santiago for the weekend. But we were able to talk to the dad,
Sergio, of the Ramos family and he said that they had read the intro to
the BoM and that he is excited for us to come by again to teach the
family. He even told us that their daughter that hadn't wanted to
participate in the lesson (but then came down stairs at the very end)
had also read it! SO, that was pretty cool! We are now just waiting for
his wife and kids to come back from Val Paraíso so we can teach them
again. We have been finding other people as well here and there. For
example, we ran into some investigators Hna Rojas taught with her
other companions that went on vacations for like a month, and they too
are super great!
Our new ward mission leader is fantastic and has sooooo much
enthusiasm for the work! He has already introduced us to a less active
member, we had a lesson with him and Hno Gutierrez this past Wed and
then the less active came to church with his wife this Sunday! It was
way awsome! He also has ideas and everything for activities going! It's
fantastic! :)
OH! something I've been forgetting to tell you...
SO... I'm in Rancagua, super close to the office... in fact, we go there
every Wednesday for our district meetings... SOOOOO if you were just
HAPPENING to want to send me packages, that would TOTALLY be ok with me, I wouldn't EVEN complain about it because I'd surely recieve them right
when they got here... AND it just so happens that I'm in need of some
crystal light and dried mangoes... you know ... JUST IN CASE you were
WANTING to send me something... OR LETTERS!!!! :)
