Al Punto de Milagros

 So yesterday, the beautiful day of fasting and testimonies, I was sitting in church and I felt just this overwhelming love that God has for His children. As missionaries, we're blessed to get to know so many people and God blesses us with the ability to love them almost instantly so that we can teach them and help them. I had this feeling that if I continued to work in charity and love we'd see miracles here in Pucón. After church an elder in the ward said, "the chapel was different today, I think we're about to see some miracles." Needless to say, we're getting ready to work our tails off to make it happen.

   This week we were able to visit Maria, we talked about the plan of Salvation and she told us she's scared to commit to baptism because she's scared of failing. Her family and friends put her down for not being a "saint" but wanting to join the church of latter-day saint. This morning I read an amazing talk from the last conference, "Latter-day Saint Keep Trying" or something like that. I'm excited to share if with her. But she got terribly sick and couldn't attend the baptism in Villarrica with us ): ): but Yésica and Damian were able to come! It was incredible! So beautiful. Hermana Orlando got baptized. His wife was baptized in march and his son was baptized last year. They waited and prayed for this day to come and it came. Yésica said it's motivated her and Damian fasted a full 24 hours! AND they came to church with us. I think we're hitting a turning point with them

   Also, we're teaching a less active, Andrea. She's great. She's really opened up to us. and she came to church too! Which was seriously a major step for her! yay

   ALSO we taught Emilia yesterday! remember the girl that add the experience with prayer but desn't know much about God? yeah her. She is so excited to learn. We talked about Joseph Smith. But she has lots of questions about what faith is and what it means to have it. So will start there with her.

   This sector is challenging me in a lot of ways but I'm growing to love it for it's challenges and all.

Thanks for the prayers and the love.
