Meeting Needs

One more week until Mothers day! I'm way excited to talk to all of you guys next week!

So I'll start off with a crazy story. A lot of crazy stuff happen to me and Elder Pope here. So were knocking on a door waiting for somebody to come out. The wheel of a passing car all of the sudden pops off. The wheel almost nailed these two people walking in the street and the car nearly got in a crash. But the two people who were nearly hit acted like nothing happened. And the dude driving the car got out really casually, and took a taxi while his car was in the middle of the road. It was insane! Sometimes people are a little to laid back here.

We had a pretty good week. This weekend we had Stake Conference. It was really good. The Stake President here is the most amazing person. He's really way to young to be a stake president, but he has talked to our mission before so I knew he was a really good teacher. He gave a really inspiring talk. After Stake Conference, people came up to the stand and shook his hand. BUT after, he went out and shook everybody else's hand.  HE was walking into every room looking for people he hadn't said hi to. I thought it was really cool to see that. He acted like it was his honor to shake everyones hand and have some contact with his stake, not the other way around.  I cant explain why it touched me so much, but it really did.  I hope I always remember the attitude of this coolest Stake President. 

We met Pol this week, from Colombia. He lives with his girlfriend and his little daughter. We met him a few weeks ago but were finally able to find him in his house. We only taught him a little bit but we asked him some good questions, and the spirit was really strong. So we hope he can progress! Please pray for Pol family.

So I have been thinking about this quote alot this week.

 

“Sin is the result of deep and unmet needs.” 
― Spencer W. Kimball

I wonder how two young missionaries in Chile can meet deep and unmet needs.  Sometimes it feels impossible.  Sometimes it feels like the only reason I am here.  God is really meeting my deepest needs here in Chile.  Who would have thought the missionary who came to serve, is actually served in the deepest places of his heart. 

I'll see you guys next week! Enjoy your week!
