Focusing

This week was the last week of vacations for people so hopefully we will have more success.  We had 30 planned lessons and only 2 that happened.  So we need to call people 3 times a day to verify citas.  But a member gave us some books for studying the scriptures and I really enjoy study time.  1 hour just isn' t enough anymore.  I used to think that it was hard to read for 10 minutes.  But I have been in Chile for a little more than a month now.  It is weird because I still feel pretty new but I can get around and understand how things work.  I just need to practice Spanish more.  which is hard when people don' t want to talk to the gringos that want to baptize you.

Funny thing here.  I know of probably 30 places that sell fresh bread and every day it is new.  People buy it new and eat it all the time.  It is super good so I understand.  I will need to learn how to make it for later in my life.  But it does go bad in a couple days so you can't keep it very long.

We are going to focus on 3 people this week who are close to baptism.  We are going to call every day and have lessons as often as possible.  We need to focus is we are going to accomplish anything.  We had to leave a few people because they can't progress or haven't been.  Hopefully in the future, they can change things or stay good people to accept it later.  There are a lot of people who are ready but they live with someone that they aren't married to which means we can't do anything but wait.

3 nefi 18:24    raise your light up to shine on the earth.  and I (Jesus) am the light that you should raise.
I don't know of a time where Jesus said something that wasn't thought-provoking but I would recommend reading 3 nephi 11 and hopefully you just have to desire to read the following chapters.  He is the light and the life of the earth.  and only through him will we get to live as families for all eternity in happiness.  Chaó, les amo
