Hello everyone! We had a pretty good week here in Las Arenas. We have had a lot more lessons, almost doubled our average number of lessons, because we have been talking to more people on the streets and teaching and testifying at every moment possible and praying with them right there on the streets. I know that its not the most effect way of doing missionary work. the best way is through member references.. but its a bit hard to get this little branch rolling on that boat but poco a poco (little by little). However i do know that by opening our mouths and testifying to everyone that we are being obedient and that maybe we wont see the miracles through the people we contact but that soon enought the miracles will come. God always keeps his promises if we are obedient and do our part.
A miracle we had this week was that we found ortilia through a reference from the elders (someone they contacted ) of almost 3 months ago. She had left to her country, Peru, and the hermanas that were here before were never able to get in contact with her. we found the number called her up and she let us over and has been reading and praying AND CAME TO CHURCH!! it was even her birthday on sunday but she still came to church! on the first visit she told us she would never be baptized and if our purpose was to baptize her that we wouldnt be able to . but i told her that we are here to teach the people this message but what i know is that when people KNOW that this is true that they have the DESIRE to be baptized and that it is their choice. She thought about that and has still let us visit. The ladies in the ward were SO nice to her and I know she had a great time. I know the gospel can touch anyones heart and that the holy ghost can testify to them that this is the true church. I hope we can get her progressing towards baptism but more importantly i hope she can feel our love and Gods love through what we teach her. I will keep you updated.
Its been getting colder up here. yesterday and today have been super rainy and windy. i am currently typing with gloves on because my fingers are so cold ha. Ive been told february is the coldest up here. I guess i will find out. There are definetly less people outside when the weather is like this. But i love this work!! rain, sun, wind, cold, hot, it doesnt matter. I love this and I would do it anywhere and anytime. I couldnt be having a better experience than being here on my mission helping the Lord and being an instrument in his hands. I love Him SO much with all my heart! and i love all of you! take care and keep warm!
love, Hermana Hair
