Called to Serve: Chile Rancagua : Week 57: Clowning Around this Week

23 July 2018

Hi everyone! This week took the record for fastest and busiest week of my mission.

Zone Conference

Wednesday we spent the whole day working on visa stuff for my companion. Gotta love waiting in line for hours--hahaha, but I got to see my trainer too, and really, actually almost all my companions I've had. Tender mercy for long hours of boredom. Also received the wonderful news that the our best investigators in San Fernando are getting baptized!! So excited! Lots of tender mercies.

Thursday we traveled to a nearby city called San Clemente. All of us missionaries here in Talca were invited to participate in a youth conference. It was such a cool experience. We got to visit with the youth and then take them out to work for a little bit. I was assigned to be with 3 young women 15-17 years old. It was so fun and lots of surprises for us. I took them contacting and we went to talk to anyone and everyone we could find in the streets. It was a bit crazy, but I learned a lot. And it was sweet to hear these young women's testimonies and to see their courage. The next generation of missionaries! We lost our phone and ran out of gas too this day, so it was one crazy thing after another.

Friday was zone conference with President and Hermana Harris. I love them so much. And the conference was amazing. As usual, I learned a lot. We talked about the apostasy and the restoration and I have always loved how the history and logical side of things lines up so well with the spiritual side. Mind and heart, logic and faith. It makes sense.

Saturday we brought two of our investigators and their families to a stake primary activity. They put on a circus, which was so fun. The kids were thrilled. Hopefully I can send pictures. But these two investigators came to church the next day too with us, which was even sweeter! I love the people here so much.
