chile!!!
woooo. yay world
cup!!. unfortunately, we arent permited to watch it, but we hear about it from
all the folks. its pretty epic though! everyone is super psyched
about it here. the bad thing is, nobody recieves us during the games of chile.
Happy fathers day dad!
i did not forget, dont worry!
well this week was
awesome. sunday was the best day of my life. we have been praying lots
and fasting for our area, talking to lots of people. ive been trying to make my
contacts better and really try and show love and charity to those with whom i
am contacting in the street and in their houses. still though, we havent
found too many new investigators. on saturday, i prayed specifically that
miracles in this area would happen, and wow did the Lord decide to bless
hermana hanks. we arrived at the church yesterday. the other
hermanas in our ward tell us that an investigator is here who just moved from
santiago. she was listening to missionaries before and wants to get
baptized. it was cool because she lives with her mom who isnt a member.
we contacted her mom about 2 months ago and gave her a pamphlet.
natalia (investigator fromsantiago) told us she was praying that she
would find us and that is when she saw the pamphlet with our number and address
of the church, etc. then we had great news from luis that he might (as of
this week) be living in his house legally, so he can also get baptized maybe!
then a lot of members went to church, more than usual. and THEN, we ate
delicious lasagna, a rarity in chile. wow. i learned a great deal about
patience and diligence with that.
i was studying one
morning and my table started moving and the wall. just a little temblor. it
lasted about 5 seconds. haha.
we also had mission
conference in viña! we left at 1 in the morning, i pretty much didnt
sleep and pulled an allnight and an alldayer. we were in vina for 3 hours, and
returned. it was so fun to see everyone! i saw hermana bravo, martinez, hermana
call, zimmerman, etc... and a lot of my elder friends as well. it was
like a great big family reunion!!
elder robbins from the
70 spoke. he is a stud. it was like a question answer thing. i liked a
lot about what he said-he spoke about really following the spirit-as well as in
planning. then how we can use the atonement as missionaries, and i learned a
lot of cool things that i never knew before!
well. that was
pretty much it. good week!
love you all,
hermana hanks
