This was a really good week.  I have been working with several people and it is great to see their progression.  It is also amazing to see tiny miracles that occur every day.  I met a girl and her two sons who has been struggling with addiction.  She is a member, but has not been to church in over five years.  We talked her into coming to church and she was feeling uncomfortable about coming and felt like the ward had judged her for some of her addictions.  She was afraid to go back to church alone.  We walked her to church and sat with her.  Another investigator we have been working with promised to come to church too.  She sat right behind the girl we brought back to church.  After Sacrament meeting, the investigator saw the girl we brought back to church and was so happy.  They had been life long friends and hadn't seen each other in ten years.  It was exactly what they both needed to feel connected and comfortable at churc...

Book of Mormon

This week I got a little lost in the work and forgot about everything at my house in Utah. hahahah I went hard this week boys! I have really been trying to teach with the Book of Mormon and it is paying off.  These people love it and they love the stories in it!  It is such a powerful book and there is no way Joseph Smith could have translated it.  Something dope I figured out this week in my personal study was that when Nephi broke his bow and then he made a new one -the weird thing is he also made arrows.  Why did he make more arrows if he already had the old ones?  It is because when you hunt with a bow and arrow you need the arrows to be the exact same size!!  How would Joseph Smith know that?  It is crazy little things you can see in the Book of Mormon that testifies of its truthfulness.  This week we worked really hard and found a lot of new people to teach.  One of the girls we have been teaching just committed to a baptism dat...

6.8 Earthquake in Santiago

This week was crazy good!  We received the best reference of my life!  This boy is grinding reading the Book of Mormon everyday and he is bringing his girlfriend to church next week! We were teaching him on Thursday and then there was this 6.8 earthquake here in Santiago. It was crazy! I felt like Moses because I was teaching him and I promised him that if he read the Book of Mormon everyday he would feel the Spirit and know that the Book of Mormon is true. Then if he knows the Book of Mormon is true ...then he knows the church is true! So then I made a joke that the earthquake was the Holy Ghost telling him our message was true. hahaha  I love it! The mission still is the hardest thing i have done, but it's times like this when a person says he wants to bring his girlfriend to church and has a goal to go to the temple for all time and eternity that makes it worth it!  It was my first week with my new comp from Argentina and he's cool.  He likes to work...
