¡Holi!
How is everyone doing? Are we all loving how cold it is?... o wait... are we all burning up? haha It was another pretty average week this week, however on Monday we went to gobernaciones to do the visa stuff with Elder Young, because last thursday we got there 20 minutes early and it was already LOADED with people! I couldnt believe it! and so we came back monday instead and we were still there until 1 pm! and we got there are 30 minutes before it opened! its because everyone from the northern hemisphere are here on their summer vacation and MAN! There are a ton of people here! It is a little crazy to drive in the streets! A colectivo (cheaper but crazier taxi) almost crashed into us the other day because it just jumped out of no where and OBVIOUSLY wasnt paying any attention.... some people. haha
Then wednesday we have a lesson with Pia, and she invited one of her friends to come with, her name is Joiner. and we shared a little about the restoration with them and it went realyl well! Joiner accepted a book of mormon and said she would like to share more! It was a great lesson and then afterwards she asked me "Are you from Brazil?" HAHA I got a good laugh and said "yeah, how did you know!?" She knew I was joking by then. It was pretty funny she said it just sounded like I have a brazillian accent! It was pretty cool! Now I can say some people think I am either from Brazil or Bolivia.
I also got sent on a pesion hunt. I had to go through our records from 2010 to see if we were still in some of the same pensions as Salt lake has record of. That was fun, a good little game of hide and see! Good thing we have been organized with all the papers! I also got to throw out some old papers we dont need anymore!
Then yesterday I went on an inerchange with one of our two brazillian missionaries in Las Torres. Its just on the outskirt of Viña and it went well! We visited his convert and a couple that are going to be baptized. It went really well! and the brazillian Elder is SUPER tall, like hits his head on door frames! but he has only been out 3 changes now, and so we had tons of fun! I love to see and hear about the gospel in all parts of the world! Its so great!
How did the challenge go? Did you do it? Did anyone see any miracles? I am sure someone did, so please email me and tell me about it! Now this week, if you have not done last weeks challenge, DO IT! As for this week, when you are out in the public, smile at EVERYONE you pass! They will wonder why you are so happy. And when the moment comes, tell them how the gospel of Jesus Christ blesses you, and for that reason you will wear your sincere smile! =D
"Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve." This is the work of God. I know it to be true. I love you all!
