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!
