Hey everyone!
This week was fantastic. We got four referrals on Tuesday and we have spent all week trying to contact them, and also praying for new people to teach. So at last, on Sunday, a member who has been less active for years decided to come. We have never seen him before but we are going to visit him sometime this week. After church on Sunday, we finally contacted one of our referrals. His name is Hernan, he loved our message, and he is explicitly against smoking and drugs and alcohol. He asked us to come back!!! We are super excited to see what comes of this.
Not too much else happened this week. It has been raining like crazy and we are on bikes so we get a little wet. When we were going down a street in downtown this guy started asking us questions about the church. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he told us he had died four times before. Realizing that he was crazy I said "Well this oughta help with the next time that happens" and we took off.
We finally got a ward mission leader called (after the last one decided to resign). Hermano Abarca served a mission in Argentina, he's from Chile, and he knows how mission work should be. So we are really excited about what is to come.
I am starting to gain a reputation around here as the Gringo. Three different people on three separate occasions called me Gringo, including our investigator! I love the culture here and I'm almost used to the food. I have been trying really hard to get the language down and teaching the Gospel, and I have been blessed with the gift of tongues.
Hope you all have a good week! Happy Halloween!
Love,
