Nuevas de Chile
This week was a hard one, not that it was not good, but it had it´s difficulties. You can expect opposition in all things, especially the Lord´s work. For the past few weeks, we have had our days filled to the brim with work, lessons, and contacts, but we have unfortunately unable to get people commited to follow the commitments, and promises from the Lord. Though I feel like we are doing our best, sometimes we do not receive the blessings we hope for, or expect, but those things that we needed. One thing that straight hard work achieves, is you can see who people really are, and you can see who you really are. In the story of Job we know he had many things in his life he worked for, and thus was obedient to those things of the Lord. Later he was tested and stood strong to his heart keeping the things of the Lord close. After he had lost everything he began to see that material things, numbers, or wealth do not keep us strong, but our will, and our mind. The spirit is strong. The relationship between my companion and I is starting to open up, and if I ever learn one thing from our time together, and it can be summarized in a Quote from Jeffery R. Holland. “Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.”
All we can do is keep on keeping on. We are getting a set of people ready for baptism this coming month, hope all goes as planned! Other than work, it is starting to get really cold down here, and I am not even in Osorno. So very grateful for all the sweet gear I have, special thanks to Brother Bertha! I always imagined it to be fairly sweet in Concepcion, but I hear it rains there everyday so I am alright in good ol Quillon! Overall, enjoying the work, working on getting letters to people, I never imagined the days to be so filled. Till next week, Chao Chao!
