This week we went to Santiago to listen to Elder Anderson and his wife, and Elder Juan Pablo Villar. Elder and Sister Anderson both spoke partly in Spanish and partly had a translator. But they are surprisingly good considering that they have never lived in a Spanish speaking country, only other languages. They had some very good advice and it will be good to apply. The mission had some busses go around and pick people up. It was all of our mission and the mission of Santiago west. There were about 350 missionaries there. The next day we had to return to Viña to get the flu shot. It was fun to talk to the other missionaries and eat some stuff there too. It wasn't all bad.
We are making some way with the people we are teaching but I think I will be moving sectors this 29th of May so I may not be able to see their baptisms. Still super awesome to help them and see them learn. We had 3 of our "interested people" come to church. That is super awesome. It is pretty hard for them to come. But this week has been good. My comp and I are getting along and trying to work hard. Hopefully, we will be able to see some fruits in a little bit.
Elder Anderson said that we need to focus on 3 things:
Being pure: Everyone can have an impure thought. What matters is what we do with it. Move it out of our mind as fast as possible. Memorize a scripture you can call to mind when this happens and focus your thoughts on the Lord
Being obedient: It is easy to be obedient when life is easy. When we don't have problems with our spouse, friends, school, work. But if we can learn to be obedient when life is hardest, that is when we grow and are strengthened. Our life will be a whole lot easier if we can master that
Being busy: We need to constantly be looking for an opportunity to share the gospel. Whether it is our example or talking about it with friends or family. Laziness is one of Satan's best tools.
The booth I am using in this cyber doesn't have a functioning USB port. So I will try to send photos another week, lo siento mucho
