Hola from Santiago for the last time!!
We head out to Rancagua early this coming Tuesday! And my
pday/writing day will then switch to Mondays. It will probably be a week and a
half before I write next, just so you all know!
This week it snowed in Santiago! The first time in over 20
years! I am pretty sure I just bring this kind of weather with me wherever I go--haha! It was so beautiful and I loved watching the Filipino elders in my
district experience snow for the first time! It was so cool!
We are finally going to try street empanadas here in Chile
today! I am so excited and were going to enjoy our last bit of time with the
people here before we head out!
I am SO excited for the people! I have so much love for them
already! ¨Perfect love casteth out all fear. And I am filled with charity,
which is everlasting love.¨ Both God and Christ have so much love for us.
Perfect and everlasting love. How beautiful is that?? I want to have that same
love for them and for the people of Chile. I have made an effort to study Love
this week specifically in my personal study with the scriptures. I especially
loved 1 John 3, in the New Testament, if anyone wants to read it. Charity is the
pure love of Christ and I am working so hard to develop charity and understand
it more fully. The love I have in my heart for the people here is what is
going to keep me going. It is so hard to be a missionary, but the people are
worth it! Faith cannot co-exist with fear. Pressing forward, steadfast in our faith,
will make all the difference.
I also have been studying ¨Living Water¨ which is referenced
all throughout the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and I absoultely love it.
Without God in our lives, we are missing a huge piece of a grand puzzle. We
have a thirst that no worldly thing of this life can satisfy. But when we come
unto Christ, we will thirst no more. It goes along with Christ being the bread
of life. We need Him, we need his love, charity, in our lives.
Sorry this email is shorter this week and really scattered.
Things are crazy. I LOVE you all so much. I hope we all can come to recognize
the Lord´s hand and His Love in our lives each and everyday. I know charity
never faileth and I know I am where I am supposed to be-with the people of Chile.
I know that we need truth in our lives. We need that constant support and
nourishment provided only through our loving Heavenly Father and Christ.
Until Rancagua!!
Con amor,
Hermana Eibert
