Hey everyone! Its good to be with you again. I
know that so many of you have been anxiously waiting for the next episode of
THE OFFICE: SECRETARIES VS ASSISTANTS, so I wont keep you waiting :)
It’s so awesome here. I’ve had such good experiences
this week! Sunday we were going to go tracting, and we were having no luck. Out
of nowhere, we see some one walking towards us in a white shirt and tie. It was
Juan!!! Our best accompanier. He asked if he could go knock doors with us and
he did! The first door we knocked opened, and the person inside started to talk
with us. Turns out she and her family are immigrants from Peru. We asked if we
could come in to say a prayer with her, and she consented. We invited her
younger brother to participate as well. After the prayer and getting to know
the two, we quickly realized that they didn’t understand much about God as we
know him. all three of us began to testify of how loving our heavenly father
is, and we introduced the topic of baptism. After showing an illustration
of the baptism of Christ, the spirit was palpable. SOOOOO strong!! We took a
pause and we asked her and her brother: what do you feel. She thought for a
moment, and said " a peace." We invited them to be baptized and they
both readily accepted. Its soooo cool how God prepares people!
Now a funnier story: We went to the house of a
less active member to see if they were there and they let us in. The
grandmother and the grandson were present. The grandmother told us that her
granddaughter wanted to talk to us, and that she was just in the bathroom. So
we waited, and she came out. Her face was wet, as if she had washed it, and she
sat down along side her family. She began to tell us how she was looking for a
church that filled her since her last church disappointed her. We were excited,
but right when we were about to begin teaching, the three that we were teaching
started to quarrel. The grandmas like "you guys don’t show that you love
me!" and the grandchildren are like "you don’t ever let us help you! You`re
the stubborn one!" Then they start explaining to us their dramas and each
member of the family begins to justify their selves to us all the mean while 40
minutes have passed and the face of nataly is still wet. Then she begins to
justify herself and while she’s talking she starts to peel off a type of
moisturizing beauty mask, and at that point I was dying of laughter within
myself! We had no control over the lesson whatsoever.
Well, those are some experiences from Chile.
Hope you all are enjoying winter. See you all next time!!
Elder Pomar :)
