hola familia y amigos!
this week was interesting. we weren´t able to spend a ton of time in the
sector, but we still had a lot of fun and a lot of the spirit.
this week was cambios and I am staying here in Quinta Normal with Elder
Muñoz. I will be completing 6 months in my ward and 4.5 months with elder Muñoz
at the end of this cambio. Im growing up so fast!
this week I had to do some identification stuff. I had to go and wait in a
lot of lines and receive stamps and papers so I can stay here in Chile legally.
it was cool to visit a different part of Santiago to do it. it was really funny
to be in the large waiting rooms (similar to the DMV) and see hundreds of
bolivians, peruanos, and argentinians. I saw a couple of gringos, and there was
a silent recognition between us that was like "hey we are from the same
country".
We were also out of the sector because my companion is practicing for his
musical number with elder Nelson that is coming next week. just a heads up, I
think they are going to change our pday to tuesday next week, but Im not 100%
sure.
BIG NEWS! Luis y Carolina went to the temple and did Baptisms!! it was the
best! they went with our ward mission leader, and Carolina said it was the
greatest experience of her life. she said she really felt the spirit during her
baptism, and felt it even greater for the people that she was serving in the
temple! Im so pumped for them.
the other day we were teaching Felipe, and we were talking about tithing.
when we finished talking about it, we asked him if after his baptism he would
pay tithing. he said "if it is a commandment of God, I will do it". that got me
so pumped to be a missionary. here is a young man that in completely changing
his life because he has faith in Jesus Christ. Felipe is one of my
heroes.
Lucas and his mom Ivonne are doing well. we have almost finished teaching
Lucas what he needs to hear before his baptism, and now we want to focus more on
growing his testimony. its amazing how much the simple things help. read the
scriptures, pray, and go to church, and you´ll be ok, your testimony will be
strenghtened, and the spirit will be with you.
I know this church is true. I know that it is Gods kingdom on the earth,
and I want to serve my Savior for the rest of my life.
Love,
Elder Williams
