17 Miracles

This week for our p-day the groups of sisters we´re in charge of got together to watch 17 Miracles- tear jerker!!! But I love it and all the incredible stories, it strengthens my testimony every time and when I feel like I´m going through a rough time I just think of the pioneers and how many trials they had to endure to reach Zion and it gives me the strength to keep going! 

This week was fun as we taught our new companion Hna.Quispe how we do the work here in Chile. Each mission is different and has their own way of doing things especially different countries so it´s been a chellenge for her but I think she´s getting used to it and she is really so sweet and humble and willing to learn. 

We also found some great new investigators like Enso who I contacted in the street. He said he believes a lot in God but doesn´t know where to congregate. As we taught him baout the restoration he reminded me a lot about Joseph Smith, looking for the truth in many places but not knowing which party to join. He said he just wanted to do whatever necessary in order to have the salvation of his soul and agreed to be baptized!

We also have Raul from Argentina and his partner Paola and daughter Connie. He wants to take things slow but has also visited many different churches and is super interested in the Book of Mormon and want to read the whole thing and go to church. Him and his soon to be wife (but he doesn´t know that yet haha) accepted a baptismal date for May!

Also David, Carolina and Benjamin are progressing great! David still has some small doubts like about modern day prophets and apostles, we brought a member to testify and it was such a powerful lesson and he is anxious to listen to General Conference in a couple weeks and hear the words of Thomas S. Monson and the apostles and see for himself if they are really men called of God. General Conference is such a golden opportunity not just for missionaries (it´s like our REDBOX) but for investigators to hear and see these men called of God and to gain a testimony they the original organization of the church has been restored! SOOOO STOLKED!!!!

Besides that it´s been a pretty chill week, nothing crazy besides talking to crazy Evangelicals who sing and yell at people to repent with megaphones in the streets-they drive me nuts! hahaha Bless their hearts!

Spiritual Cookie: Prayer is much more us understanding God´s will than him understanding our desires.
