This week has been a really great week! My companion Hna Landon is an awesome missionary. We are really excited to be together because both of us are determined to work really really hard this cambio. We are always thinking about ways how we can have more success in our sector. We are praying that we can find someone who will be able to get baptized in October. We know that if we do our part, the Lord will put someone in our path who is ready.
This week, we had to be in the house early because the 11th of September is a day in Chile when many pèople do protests and it's dangerous for the missionaries to be out super late. My companion has uno cards with her so we played uno and I decided that it's probably best for me not to play uno in the mission because it brings out my competitive side... Also it just wasn´t the same as game nights with the fam and friends. The stake also had a noche folclórico this week because next week is Chiles independence day and it was super cool. Each ward did a traditional dance from chile. The culture here in Chile is super cool. I am super excited for the 18th this week, everyone says it's just the best.
This week, I was studying in preach my gospel about repentance and how missionaries we have to invite our investigators to repent. I had never done that specifically in the mission until this week. This week we taught two lessons on repentance and at the end we invited them to repent of their sins they had committed in the past and they were two of the most spiritual lessons that I have had here in the mission. I learned this week that repentance is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us. And more than it is just saying sorry, its a process of change, everytime we sincerely repent, we are changing to become more like our Savior. I love Alma 36, its now one of my favorite chapters in the BoM because it talks about the joy alma recieved from repenting and it gives all of us so much hope that we can have that joy in our lives too.
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
