hola peoples! I almost got lost in what week of the change I am in! this week was a little bit crazy! Starting with last sunday we had a day just loaded with lessons! Every missionaries dream is just to walk from house to house and just get in and we almost got into every house that we talked to! it was incredible! haha We first contacted a lady after lunch with the familia Escarate (red heads hahaha) and we set up a cita for tonight actually and then we decided to go up and try to do some finding activity! So we knocked a door or two, and the first own we waiting a while until I realized we were getting picture taken of us from a cell phone in the front window....awkawrd. haha then a guy came out and apologized and said they were drunk, maybe another day. haha So we climbed up the hill and stopped and helped a lady who was folding her clothes she was selling in front of her house and we talked with her and she was super nice and super concerned about her family! She has to have family time, but she said she would like if we shared with her in the future! Yes! So after getting that all finished we asked her if she knew of anyone else who could use some help, and she said she thought her neighbor was a member, so we decided to see who it was. and it was a menos activo family and so we shared with them and it went really well too! the spirit was there, and it was just awesome, and they said they werent sure about church, but that they would try and make it (they live almost in the next ward over they live so far away from the chapel. haha) and we shall help them. Then we asked them if they knew of anyone else and they said they had a neighbor who wasa member too! So we passed by there, but they decided to lie and say their grandma, the member, wasnt home...but I could see her standing behind them at the door. Oh well! So we went down to an old investigator and had a super great lesson with them too! José, the antiguo investigator, just has to get divorced from his first wife, which is rather difficult in chile, but he is working on that and then he wants to be baptized! and we had a quick "once" with them. then we rolled out and finished the night with a quick scripture with another investigators named Paul. it was fantastic! The rest of the week was a little different... We have had a lot of stuff to get done here in the office and not a lot of time! haha So we had a couple long nights, but we have also gotten out and taught Orlando. he is progressing nicely! he just needs to come to church and recognize that God is answering his prayers! He wants to be sure about getting baptized, which I love! haha Its crazy to think that I already have a month here in the office! doesnt feel like that at all! but I am dying to go out for a run, and winter is coming on and getting cold! haha and no one really wants to run with me. oh well, maybe soon! haha I am just ready to get my heart really pumping hard! haha Other than that...pretty normal week. I did some running around to get stuff ready for the conferences that we had this week. I helped set that up, and buy food, and helped get the assistents ready for their trip north. Lots of running around actually! and entering bills, and organizing and cleaning. I think I will have changed the office a little bit by the time I am through, just trying to make things clear, clean, and under control. and I like to reorganize things just so I know where it is all at! haha Well that was pretty much my week! How was yours? Cuidanse! Elder Marvin
