Dear Friends and Family,
Wow,
things are really going by at a fast pace. Maybe it's because of the
great sector or such an awesome companion or sweet people we are
teaching or all the responsibilities or all of the activities...IDK, but
time is going by fast and we are having a blast... Forgive the
unintentional rhyming! ;)
We had a good week. We
have really been progressing with M. and O. They are so
great!!! This week O. was reading the BofM and she turned to the part
in 3 Nephi 15 where Christ talked about going to other sheep the weren't
the nephites or the jews and she likened that scripture to herself
thinking that she and her family are like the sheep and through the
missionaries and the church Christ is visiting them. She said that after
she read that scripture and after having prayed and asked God about the
BofM she knew it was true :D WHAT?!?!?! :D We were super stoked!
M. is still in the process, we are going to be teaching the Plan
of Salvation this week, which is one of the things she has a lot of
doubts about. Also, her heart has been changed and softened a ton. The
only thing stopping their overall progress is the challenge it is to
teach them regularly and also the fact that because of a commitment that
her son has with soccer, she has difficulty going to church!
My
new phrase and theme is what J. always says, "Soy mormón, ¿Qué pasa?"
Or in english, "I'm mormon, what up?" :D haha, it's awesome! Hahaha!
We
had a cool experience with R. this week. She has been having
some struggles with believeing that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet so last night
we showed the family the video of Thomas S. Monson. Now all they want to
do is get their hands on an Ensign so they can read some of his talks
:) Anyways, Romanette is definitely going to be ready to be baptized in
December. Also, during the video of Pres. Monson, they showed the Salt
Lake Temple and talked about the sealing between Pres. Monson and his
wife and in that moment P. asked R. if she would get sealed
with him in that temple! They want to got to Utah to visit and get
sealed one day :D THAT WOULD BE SO SICK!
1.
I would say that Sister Wright's role is almost as big as
President's... In interviews, she has a part; in zone conference, she
teaches; she goes on splits with the sister missionaries; she does
office work; she is majorly in charge of the missionary health; etc.
2. We won't be getting devices down here
for a LONG TIME. President says they wouldn't be coming down here until
an iPad is worth just about as much as your typical nokia standard phone
(translation, a LONG TIME).
3. Well, about
ward council, we're still working on them actually having the meetings.
It's actually kinda rare that we have meetings but we are trying to
start it up as more of a regular thing with more participation and
commitment... When there are meetings, we always go!
4. No, the chileans don't celebrate thanksgiving. So come the last thursday of November, it'll be just another day. We might try and do something special though...buy a pie at least :)
Well, that's pretty much it! Take care guys, love you!
