Sorry I haven't emailed in so long!! but yes I am still alive! So much has happened! The Church is true and there is so much work to do!
This week has been great! We taught Gossett and his 9 year old daughter and they are both progressing very good! and I am learning more every day. and I am learning how I can help these great people in Chile!
A member taught us how to make empanadas!!! which was awesome and so fun! This guy has like a bakery and all the equipment and it was super cool!
one thing I am grateful for this week is the scriptures. I have had more time to study and focus everyday on the gospel. It is incredible and I learn so much. I know the Book of Mormon is true! I know that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God on the earth.
We had a lesson with this family that has a giant dog. This thing is huge! and it got out during our lesson so we were helping this lady catch it. she lives a bit outside of town and so we are just running through these fields trying to catch this dog. It was so funny. and we did catch it and were able to bring it back😂 Dogs are crazy here there are so many and so many stray dogs that just live in the street! one time we were trying to knock on this door and we were standing on the sidewalk outside the house and there were more than 8 dogs all around us barking and growling at us! it was crazy but so far they only bark and don't bite so that is good😂
about a month ago we were teaching this girl mostly over zoom and we had some great lessons with her she came to church with us a bunch of times and then we found out she actually lives in the area of Ovalle Sur our area is Limari so we sent her information to the Ovalle Sur elders and they worked with her and yesterday we had the opportunity to go to her baptism!! It was great. I am so excited for the decision she is making to come unto Christ.
Sorry for not emailing more often I will do better! but I know this church is true and I know that God loves his children in all parts of the world
