Things are good in Chile ! We’ve
been having a good time. With my last companion, we didn’t have very many
investigators, so this week after doing 104 contacts, or tracting, we found
some people. One dude used to be a drug addict and now is looking for a change.
He has lost it all, his kid, wife, and several jobs. Now he is humbly changing.
We asked to be baptized he said "Yeah, That sounds like what I need."
Then there was another dude,
who was really weird. When we first knocked on his door he was in a thong. So I
thought "He’s gonna try to rape us" ha-ha but he just was exercising.
I was like what?? Why in a thong...? Ha, but he came to church. He was about to
be baptized about ten years ago but got in a car accident and lost it all.
Hearing all these stories and meeting these two guys, I don’t know why, but I'm
starting to find a new love for my investigators. I kind of got so focused on
baptizing, and then I saw people as numbers. Like I still had good
relationships with them, but didn’t love them as much as I’m starting to.
And then we are teaching a
girl name Silvia. Whose whole family are members, but her. Her whole fam wants nothing
to do with the Church and she does. Oh, and one of my converts I just had,
Gonzalo, went to conference and decided to go on a mission. He enrolled in
mission prep in institute and is going in a year!! Cool huh?
I’m starting to not only
work, but fall in love with the work. At first it was like, UGH I have to be bold
go invite all these people, knock on all these doors... But know its like more
an adventure and I love meeting new people, even those who hate us.
Oh, also my kid is awesome.
We still haven’t taken a pic, but this fam. I saw in Antofa I think took a pic
of us. Look up Javiera Alanoca on facebook and it should be there.
Well that’s about it. I miss you all and love you.
