this week was a rollercoaster but there were LOTS of ups and so we're all super happy here.
first of all, the coolest thing happened this week!
I was walking with my companion, and we passed by these two men. About 20 steps after, she looked at me and said, "I want to contact them!" I smiled and said that I did too! So we turned around and headed back. We introduced ourselves, and they began to ask questions! "Where are you guys from? Why are you here? Do you like Chile?" things like that. Then, one of these men said, "Do you guys have something I can read? I am a security guard so I have lots of time on my hands." so We handed him the pamphlet of the Restoration. He smiled and said, "yeah, but do you have something bigger? This is little!" my companion looked at me, like "should we?" I nodded, and we pulled out our Book of Mormon! We explained a little bit about the Book of Mormon, and why it was important to us. he looked me in the eyes and said, "Hermana Poyfair, do you really think this book can help me in my life?" OH. MY. GOSH. The Spirit was so strong as I stared him in his eyes and testified that the book of mormon was the most amazing and true book in the whole entire world and that YES it would help him in his life, with whatever problem he might have. I was so happy and felt so great as he promised to read it and pray.
After, he said, "hey do you guys like Cherries?" we nodded eagerly, so he pulled out a bag of cherries and gives us like 120 cherries. I'm attaching a picture. it was super cool. there is so much fruit here in Chile right now and I am happy as can be.
We lost contact with a lot of our investigators this week and it was a little frustrating, but everything happens for a reason! We had a conference with Mark B. Bragg this week, (from the 70) and he told us that we are here in our areas by the same revelation that the Thomas S. Monson recieved when he assigned our call, and so we should feel sure the God knows where we are, and that we're here because there are people that only we can help here.
so yeah. LLAIMA WOO!
this letter is short sorry but yeah
I hope you have a good week! I love you all so much!
ps gracias for the birthday wishes!
love hermana poyfair
