WEEK 14: Zone Conference and other miracles

hiiiiii from chileeee

this week was... yeah. I dunno. I got no words for it. haha. twas lame but good but lame, ya know? Idk. 

Probably the prettiest sunset tbh

this week I got a good taste of what this winters gonna be like here I think. RAIN. Lots of rain. And its a little bit lame because the people don't wanna talk when its raining outside right? So yeah contacting is just the worst. We were told like six times that if we were dry then we could come in, but we were soaking wet so maybe some other time which is code for adios. :) 

Thisssss week we had zone conference and we had our hermanas conference and our zone activity this morning. So like it was a super busy week. And it was soooo fun to see Hermana Peralta! But our zone leaders are just super awesome, I'm pretty sure they're gonna be the next prophets or something idk. They talked a LOT about how here in Chile we are being asked to put more of a focus on the less-active members in our wards, because their are seriously SO MANY. Like here in Avenida Alemania more than half of our ward is less active. Its super lame. 

Zone activity todayyyyyy

SOOO. Here's our miracle for the week: I have been here for about two months, and I always heard the name "Javier Sanchez". In our area book, in our meetings, everywhere. But I had no idea who he was! And so this week, I was like we need to meet Javier. So I did some research and found that he was a super recent convert of about four months, but now was less-active. So every day this week we knocked on his door, and no one over answered. And it was super lame. And yesterday I had about given up, but I decided to knock one more time. AND GUESS WHAT. Javier answered. And was like, "oh come on in!" But here's the best part. He lives with his dad, his mom, his two sisters, and his cousin. AND NONE OF THEM ARE MEMBERS! But they all sat and listened super intently to our message, and we have a return appointment with them on wednesday! I'd be lying if I said we didn't skip away happily. What a miracle, Javier promised to be at Church on sunday, and the rest of his family is going to be there too, just wait. 

Hermana Nelson was pretty sick this week so we didn't get a WHOLE lot done, but this week I can tell is going to be like sixty times better. 

oops sorry this letter is a little lame but its because this week was a little lame but it was great and I just love the mission and I just love being a missionary and I just never ever ever want to leave this beautiful city or this beautiful country haha. Also I don't wanna like brag or anything but I think I'm at the point were Im understanding like 75% of the spanish being spoken around me. WHICH IS PRETTY COOL RIGHT.

YEAH. I love you all. Have a spectacular week.

con amorrrrrr
