Finally we all got together and began finding
out who would be companions. Finally it came time for the sisters. They
sat together in front of the room, and read their letters of fate. And
Hna Guzman read my name! It was so special! I knew that it was going to
be her when I saw her!
We had another little training
after we had received our companions, basically President telling all of
us that we are the best of the best that he has in this mission. That he
trusts us with this monumental task of training, and more importantly,
the Lord trusts us. We got all jazzed up. Then we came home she saw all
of the decorations that I put up, and we had a nice bonding moment.
taught a few lessons that night, then we came home and went to bed.
Thursday
-- Today was the first meeting that I officially had as a Sister
Training Leader. It was all day long with a lunch. And we talked about
the new things that we are going to do as a mission, and what things
that we need to improve on as a mission. At this time I would also like
to invite all of you to go on Facebook and like the page ¨Mision Chile
Antofagasta¨ or maybe it is ¨Chile Antofagasta Mission¨ It is one of the
two. It is a new page, and it is going to be filled with wonderful
things! We came home from the meeting and had another appointment with
R. and L. L. is the little girl with a baptismal date for Saturday. It was a good day.
Friday
-- We had our weekly planning, and I am teaching Hna Guzman how the
mission works. (No pressure right). I am learning right along with her
as well. It is pretty exciting. And that night we talked to L. again to
make sure that everything was set for her baptism. Our District Leader
came to the house with us, and did the interview and set everything up .
it was a great experience for her. She didn't feel ready before, but
afterwards she was so excited for the next day. Her mom was pretty set
on no baptism until she was sure that her daughter was ready. But L.
actually started crying because she was afraid that her mom didnt want
her to be baptized, and tears sometimes melt hearts a lot quicker than
other things. The spirit filled the room, and they began making plans
for the baptism.
Saturday
-- I am the leader of the sisters in Mejillones, and they have been
kind of sad this last week because they haven't been able to find or
teach people. They feel like they are just walking around. It is sad
because they are both relatively new missionaries as well. 7 months and 5
months. So we all as the leaders (District, Zone, and Sister Training)
hopped on a bus and went to Mejillones. We contacted whatever person in
the street, taught lessons, extended baptismal dates, etc. And we left
the Sisters full of hope. I love being a leader so far. Basically it
gives me a better opportunity to help others. And that is something that
I have always loved doing.
We came home, and studied a
little bit and then immediately went to the chapel for L´s baptism! She
was there with a bunch of members of her family and friends that are
not members. (Some of them are actually opposed to the church, but they
were there and they supported her. So we were really excited!) The
service went really well and the spirit was there pretty strongly. It
was a great day.
Sunday
-- And to end the week, L. received the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Her
nonmember friends and family were not there. But her Step´Father who is
not a member came and he brought his sister as well. It was a beautiful
experience. We had 10 investigators in Sacrament Meeting! And then later
that night. We were able to set 2 baptismal dates! This sector really
is progressing. And we are seeing many many miracles. :)
So in conclusion. I love my sector. I love my companion. I love Chile. And I LOVE my mission!
LOVE YOU!
