Week 4 in Paipote
Buenas!!! It´s been a good week here in Chile. It´s been a
little hotter but not to bad. Spanish is going pretty well. Mi compañero and I
have committed to talk more in spanish during the day. Alot of people are still
on vacation which makes things a little tough. We also only had 23 people in
church yesterday. Things are a lot different from in the States but its all
good. Sadly our Hermano William won´t be getting baptized this sabado. He drove
all night from working in the mines to try to make it to church but had to
pitstop and sleep. Esta bien, he still has a strong desire for baptism so we´ll
just need to wait til Marco.
Being a missionary, one simple thing I´ve learned is to just
be happy. It´s not really hard not to be. You might have to walk all day, your
appointments might fall through, but guess what? I have a knowledge of the
restored gospel of Jesucristo. También, I get to share this knowledge with
others. This is quite applicable for anyone. You will have challenges and
problems in life, but you also have a loving Padre Celestial. Who you can pray
to, Who can help lift your spirit. As a missionary, we make commitment with
personas. One we do all the time is oracion (prayer). It is such a simple
action but can have such an impact. Think of José Smith. He had one simple prayer
and it´s changed the world. I invite all to alway remember to pray, no matter
how small or big. Also just be happy, life's to short not to be. Love you all
and I am so grateful for any email you send.
Con Amor,
EE
