Hey there everybody!!!
Wow, what a week, it passed by quickly as always, but it was such a fun week and we were able to make a bit more progress with some of our investigators! Woot!!!
Unfortunately I don´t have much time due to a Special Mission Conference with Presidente Martinez, but I´ll get to that in a second.
This week we had a bit of rain on the first day of Winter, it just had to happen that way. In my last district of my mission we have a few missionaries from the other mission that are now in our zone, they are a lot different, it seems like all the missionaries from our mission are a lot more happy, but hey, we´re happy to have them!
This week it was so funny. We are teaching an investigator named Sylvia. She knows that the church is true and she knows that she needs to get baptized, but she just kinda tries to ignore and neglect it, but we had an amazing lesson with her. We decided to teach her the plan of Salvation with drawings that I have made. At first she just laughed and said that she didn´t want to learn with pictures because that is what little kids do, but we taught her anyways with drawings and she understood a lot more than before and really opened up her feelings to us. So we gained a confidence boost with her and she is a little closer to taking the decision to be baptized! :)
We also had a family home evening with another investigator and her family. It went really well and everyone, her, her kids and the member family that was with us, all participated a lot in everything! We taught about miracles and faith and in the end we heard some great news that she is looking for a job again to be able to move from her house to get baptized. It´s a complicated situation, but things are progressing, so we are happy about that.
Other than that, we had a lot of adventures in the rain, the wind, and trying to find a lot of new people to teach. We got lost up in a hill trying to find some people to teach, but Elder Miranda and I aren´t getting our hopes down, we know that soon we will be so blessed in our sector! God will open the windows of the heavens and bless us.
Well, apart from that, I loved the big world wide leadership meeting last night... really words can´t describe how happy I felt listening to the profets and recieving inspiration from the Holy Ghost. I cried a good few times and it just makes me even more excited to work with the members and to get the Lord´s work moving. If the Chileans would just start doing what they should be doing, the church would be a powerhouse here in Chile. I´m also really excited to work in the missionary work when I get home! :) Also, to make this week complete, today we had a special meeting with Presidente and his wife. We ate lunch with them (all the missionaries that are going to the other mission) and we all said goodbye and it was amazing. He spoke final words to us and taught us things that will help us in the rest of our lives after the mission.
So that was my week, I love you all so much, I hope you are all well and I can´t wait to see you all soon, but until then, I have to finish helping in the Lord´s work here in Chile. Take care!!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Garrétt
