I am now in Salamanca. And it has the nickname of the land of the witches. We'll see why. But my "child" is Elder Magaña from Mexico. He is super awesome and it will be fun working here. We went to Viña to meet there then we took a bus for about 5 hours to here. We are in a branch here and at 10:00 here we had 7 other people in the chapel. By the end of the meeting we had 30 but it is super strange to see so little in the church.
Our house was super dirty when we showed up and we have 1 person to teach but we are going to do a lot to find more people and get everything in order. Salamanca is small but a lot prettier than Quillota. I am excited to work here.
In Mosiah 23:21-22 it says, 21 Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to achasten his people; yea, he trieth their bpatience and their faith.
22 Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his atrust in him the same shall be blifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people.
I think it is super important to see the cause of our afflictions in our life. If it is from God, satan, or a result of our agency or someone else's. With that we can use the help of the Lord that he can consecrate or afflictions for our well-being and gain.
