Well here we are! Now I can give more details of everything that has
happened in the last week. It has been a crazy roller-coaster of changes. Not bad changes, but changes none the less.
First
of all, I love Vallenar. This is a sector where there are a ton of
miracles. We have had amazing experiences in just these few short days
together.
My companion is Hna Quintero. She is 21 years old and from Colombia (Bogota). She is going to complete a year in the mission on Friday,
the day after I complete 17 months. And we get along really well, which
I am happy about. It would not be so fun to end with a sour companion.
But we get along really great and she is fun to be around and likes to
work hard.
Vallenar has many hills and it is
getting really really hot here during the day and cold at night. There
is no ocean because we are more for the mountains, so the wind is
usually hot. I'm glad that I wont be here for the dead of summer. It
would be a repeat of El Salvador. Its been a week and I'm about 2 shades
of gold darker because of the sun.
We had a
lesson with an investigator named M. She had an amazing experience
with the Book of Mormon answering a much needed prayer. And she told us
with tears in her eyes that she knows that the Book is true and
therefore that the church is also true. We were all very emotional, and
she told us that she wants to be baptized. Her two sons were also there,
and they both expressed the same desire to be baptized. It was so
spiritual. I love the mission and the gospel. The light that it brings
into our lives is really something that all of us should have. It really
makes a difference in the lives of the people.
Anyways,
I think that it about does it for this week. I have a billion things to
do today. And a gazillion more to do during the next 5 weeks! I love
you all, have a fabulous day, and an even better week!
LOVE YOU!
