Valdivia!

So let me tell you a little about Valdivia. It's a bigger city, touristy, with a beautiful river that runs through (remember the photos i sent of the sea lions a while back?) We live kind of on the outskirt of the city in a a peaceful, really small neighborhood. We live on the third floor of an apartment building. It's simple, but we'll fix that up real quick with some homemade decoracions. The people are so friendly here! It's crazy how much one sector changes from another. Many people are willing to hear what we have to share and we've been able to find a lot of people to teach. Our progressing investigadors have been really busy this week so it gave us a LOT of proselying hours. We found 9 new investigadors and invited 6 people to be baptized. It make me so happy to have that sacred privledge and blessing to invite other to enter into a convenant with the Lord. There are very few callings that allow you that opportunity; missionaries, mission presidents and prophets. I'm so humble that the Lord trust me to extend that sacred invitation.

Yesterday we had 3 investigadors in church! and the elders had 2.  E told us he feels great at church, like everyone's accepted, no matter what. E is new investigading the church. He's only had one lesson and a half but already attended church 3 times and has been to a baptism. He feels strongly that he need to keep investigading but is having a hard time accepting a baptism date. When he was younger he studied to be a catholic priest but realized in the end he didnt believe it was the church of God. He thinks to much with his head and we're trying to help him stop anylizing so much and let the spirit testify to him. It hard too because his family not intrested. But we've planned to have a family home evening with them and another member family this weekend. I hope they can feel the spirit!

Another investigador is F. A couple months ago on exchanges i talked to him over the phone actually! He was a referral. He's 20 and his girlfriend is mormon. He's been working a lot lately so i havent actually had the oppotunity to teach him. And he lost his phone so we didnt have contact with him for a week! but yesterday he showed up to church! tie and all. his interest is so genuine. 

This week we had two companion exchanges. Traveling and working with other sisters makes the weeks go by so fast! Its rediculous. I'm grateful for the opportunity to get to know so many sister and learn from every single one of them. They all have so many talents. 

I also had an interview with President. I love him so much. He's so great. 

Thanks for your love and prayers.besitos
