I know God lives

So we got crackin this week. We asked the Lord where the chosen people are and He's telling us. With the spirit of prayer we individually picked a few streets to knock and 4 of the 5 we each picked were the SAME STREETS. We knocked the first on Monday and immediately found 3 people, very receptive. The same goes for the others we've been able to knock so far. 

One is J (a different one from a few weeks ago). J is 62 and told us he quit going to his church after the congregation divided into 3 separate churches. Now he's looking for the one true church. When we taught him the restoration he TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD. I admired the humility of the 14 year old Joseph Smith and is excited to come to church next week. 

This Thursday I had the privilege of taking a 2 hour ride in the car of President O himself. I felt pretty special. He took us to a Zone Conference where he talked about the "foolish traditions of our fathers". This mission has been know as a tough mission, low in baptisms. President O noticed that a lot of new missionaries were getting discouraged with the thought that they would never have a baptism. We putting an end to the "foolish traditions". Hermana C and I are excited and ready to prove our desires and faith to the Lord and invite all to be baptized.

And with conference just days later I really hit a spiritual high. I LOVE THE PROPHET. I LOVE HIS APOSTLES. I LOVE THE CHURCH. I KNOW IT'S THE CHURCH OF GOD. I LOVE MY SAVIOR. 

I had the strongest confirmation that these three newly called apostles really are called of God Himself. I know the organization of the church is perfect and exists to help us come to Christ through saving ordinances of baptism and those of the temple. I bear witness that God lives. I KNOW IT. without a single stinkin doubt.

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

p.s. we had to take 2 whole days to travel to Osorno to renew my visa. Has it really been that long?! I saw a picture of myself the day I got to Chile and I look like a baby! Besides the fact that my face is a little rounder, I really am a different person. Not completely, I'm still paige but just like refined I guess? IDK it's just that I've learned and experienced so much! I'm so grateful the Lord called me to be one of His missionaries.
