La Pradera

¿Comó estaí familia?!

I am in such a sweet little sector. There are way more people that come to church that my other sectors, but the area is a lot smaller!  But I guess that is because it is because I am in the city now, well a suburb of the big city. The weather, glorious, low 70s everyday. The people, even better. I love the church, it is so true.

My new companion is named Elder Tafur. He is from Peru. He is so crazy and energetic, I love it. We get along well, and teach even better. I am going to enjoy my time while I am here.

This week I think I will share a little something something about The Refiner´s Fire. The trial of our faith. The Diamond Cutter. I am been studying the Bible lately, think I might as well read it all the way through. And there are so many examples of the people of the Lord getting tested, tried, to see if they would hold their faith. Prophets such as Job, Abraham, Daniel. They were through into the Lions den, had everything they held close taken from them, even asked to kill their own beloved ones. The thing that they went through were inconvievable. 

Just a few scripture that I feel I want to share.

DyC 101

 2 I, the Lord, have suffered the affliction to come upon them,wherewith they have been afflicted, in consequence of theirtransgressions;

 3 Yet I will own them, and they shall be mine in that day when Ishall come to make up my jewels.

 4 Therefore, they must needs be chastened and tried, even asAbraham, who was commanded to offer up his only son.

 5 For all those who will not endure chastening, but deny me,cannot be sanctified.

DyC 95 

1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you whom I love, and whom Ilove I also chasten that their sins may be forgiven, for with thechastisement I prepare a way for their deliverance in all things outof temptation, and I have loved you—

Mal. 3

 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall standwhen he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’soap:

In this life we will all have trials, that is just how it is right. But the blessings that come from the problems are hundredfold. Love you all and hope you have a great week!

Dreamed a Dream (letter from November 10)

Hey everyone! It´s been a long time hasn´t it! So much has passed since last week! From tons of activities, to almost burning myself in flames, to meeting a group of gringos, to giving a sweet talk about Conversion in church for 25 minutes haha!

I do not have much to give this week, so I will just share a few great scriptures that were shared with me this week, some by members, others by random people that we taught!

We had lunch at a member house and he cooked this super strange meal with pig intestines, strange fruits, and juice from a fruit that I do not even know howto decscribe. He told us that he thought we ought to share some classic Chilean food with us, and when we told him that we were good with just eating the tomatoe salsd he shared this wonderful inspired scripture:

 Lucas 10:8   8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

Again as we were teaching another member, we helped with clean up his house a little, he asked us if our own house was dirty, yes we said, our house does hav some cleaning to do, He then shared with us this scripture: 

1 Timothy 3:5  5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

And the third scripture to share was given to us to read from a random peron in the plaza that we contacted in te morning, he was ust sitting on a bench taking in the fresh air. He did not really want to share with us but before we split he told us that we ought to read. Proverbs 27:14 After reading the verse, I guess he did not want to be bothered haha!

Proverbs 27:14  14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

Also to touch a little on the talk I gave, I thought it was a fairly worthy theme I was given on Conversion. The Branch President assigned me this talk, named the Hour of Conversion. It is  eally great talk about how to gain a great testimony! 

BUTTT Now it is time to go! Thanks everyone for all you do. Love you all!

Halloween and One Year!

So much happened this week! Between activities for the Branch, Halloween, Training meetings, and much more! I have so much to write but literally no time haha! I sent a lot of pictures so that everyone could see how much of a great week I had, so I do not have to write as much! This month we have a sweet set up with 5 different baptism services planned up, lets hope they all go through right!

Love you all,
