vamos pablo por fin

Hola hola!!
This week was THE best. I say that every week but this week I promise it was the best. We had a huge miracle happen. On Tuesday we were talking about our week and all of our plans, and my comp probably hated me but I felt like we needed to rearrange our whole day to be able to have a lesson with our friend Pablo. That whole process was full of miracles because he had time to meet up, and we found a member who lives way out in the countryside who was able to come with us so we could go into the church. That was crazy because I have never taught a lesson with her because she is never in Osorno, but that day she would be passing through at the exact time we needed her. The lesson was so powerful and the spirit led us in everything we said. We ended up setting a baptismal date for him for this Saturday. I have known him probably for about 5 months now and I have never seen him cry until last Tuesday. He is so ready to be baptized and it makes me so happy to see him taking this step so seriously. God is so good!


My favorite hermana threw me a surprise birthday party!! It was such a huge surprise because it's not for another month, but she saw the 28th on my Facebook and started planning away. We were laughing all night about that, ah I love them sooo much. Chile is so beautiful right now because it's fall here, and I feel like I'm turning into my mom taking way too many pictures of trees but I can't help it. I love Chile.


Lately I have been reading in 3 Nephi and I love how similar the prophets recent talk is compared to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Peacemakers are needed in our world today because it's not an easy thing to humble yourself and put away emotions of anger, frustration, or pride, no matter how justified they may be. Jesus Christ taught us to love with compassion and charity in 3 Nephi 11-13, and I love how He followed those teachings by saying "for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." We are all influenced by the natural man and Heavenly Father knows it can be hard to end personal conflicts and put Him first, but He asks us to do it because He wants us to be better than that and because He is helping us become the person He needs us to be. It's impossible to wake up one day and be a perfect peacemaker, but each day we can try to be a little bit better. All our Heavenly Father wants to see is a little progress each day.


Love you all!
