This last week was another one of those that SO much has happened and I dont even know where to start!!! We prepared the whole week for our baptism on satuday which was FANTASTIC!!!! Annais had 10 of her non member friends there and they all just liked the whole thing! I loved it so much!!!!
Also this week we were just going about and we found a few different new investigators who were literally looking for us! One of them, se llama Nilson, just said " who is jose smith?" and so we taught him the restauration and he accepted a book of mormon all kinds of happy!!! It was so cool! The other lady was just sitting in the park and we talked with her and she just started telling us how she had cancer and is recovering and that her father died a year ago and she really wants to know if she will see him again! Then she said " I dont even know why I am telling you all of this, but I just feel like I should." We testified to her that God had truly sent us to help her! It was so cool!!!!
Then we had a GREAT week teaching Manuel who fell again to the cigarrillos (cigarettes) and he said, "I put a new goal, I am going to be done smoking by then 25th, and I want to be baptized on the 3rd of november." IT WAS SO AWESOMEE!!!!!!! He is really trying to change his whole way and he just really wants to follow christ!!! Then we were sharing with Medelis and she shared with us that she felt the church was true and even though she had gone through some rough stuff she also wants to prepare for the 3rd of noveimbre!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Then on saturday we woke up AFTER the alarm (4:50am) so that we could get ready to go to viña but we got ready at rapid fire speed and we got in the car with Los Bowen and we made it to Valpo in Time. For what you might say? Well for Elder Oaks!!!!! Woooo Thats right, spiritual feast in the morning and well by the way, we also had changes early for some odd reason and Elder Cannell left me! (tear!) but I got an Elder That also has only been in Chile for 3 months, his name is Elder Powner, and he is from Frederick, Colorado. We have been loving things together and he has a great attitude! And who can complain that the first thing you do in an area is go to a bpatism! Although annais was sad that Elder Cannell wasnt going to be there, we told them on Jueves about the changes and well thats just life inthe mission field.
So everything here is going great! I love the mission life!!!! I hope you are all doing great and look for a friend who needs the missionaries!!!!! You will love the experience!!! Chao!!!
Elder Marvin =D
