on Monday we had an awesome lesson with Anaiz, oscar, and the familia pino.
we met in the pino home and taught about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anaiz said
that she read the book of mormon and received her answer that the church is
true! she also said that she is going to get baptized. we are now working with
them so they can pick a day to get married. the thing that is awesome about
Anaiz and oscar is that they both love the church. the members greet them, and
they feel comfortable there. they have lots of friends in the ward that live
close to them as well, so that helps a lot. another thing that was awesome was
that the pino family during the lesson testified a lot. I would like to give the
invitation to all those that read this letter to allow the missionaries to teach
in your home. members and non members. I think there are a lot of members who
think "when the missionaries call me, I will let them teach in my home" or "when
the missionaries find investigators they can bring them to my house." I would
say that the missionaries in your ward would love you to help them find people
by inviting your friends over to hear the missionaries in your home. invite your
friends over for a family home evening or for dinner and invite the missionaries
as well. they can share a message with you and your friends that will strenghten
your relationship and bless your lives.
on Tuesday I was on an intercambio with elder Sierra from colombia. we
taught a mother and a daughter (Luisa and Daniza) for the first time. we taught
them about the restoration and we invited them to read the book of mormon. on
Saturday we received a call from Daniza who told us that she read the whole book
in two days. we have an appointement with her on tomorrow, so we are a little
excited to see what happens.
on thursday I was in the sector of elder Fischer for another intercambio.
in that sector they use bikes. I got to ride a bike for the first time in the
mission!!! I didnt take a picture though which is a little lame, but I´m sure
I´ll do it again soon.
on Saturday Yunia had her baptismal interview and she got baptized this
Sunday.
her family from the south of Chile (Valdivia actually) came up to see
Yunia and her boyfriend Smit get married and then get baptized this sunday. we
didnt go to Yunia´s wedding because it was outside of the mission, but the
baptism was great. there were a lot of people there, but unfortunatly, Yunia´s
family was really busy and Yunia actually had to leave right after her baptism
and didnt get to stick around for the talks afterword. she was really nervous
right before her baptism but when she came out of the waters she was smiling a
lot and wasnt worried at all.
Im so thankful that I have the chance to serve a mission here in Santiago.
I really am learning to love the people here. Chile really is the best. I know
that the this church is the church of Jesus Christ, and that it is the only
church that contains the power of God for the salvation of God.
Love,
Elder Williams
