On Friday I had my best contact of all my mission. All of our plans for
the morning failed and so we decided to do contacts. I began to talking
to somebody in the street and he was immediately really friendly with
us. He told us that he has only been in Chile for a month because he was
living in California. He was sharing with the missionaries there and
was about to get baptized but moved to Chile. It was too good to be
true! We do so many contacts and usually people don't have any time, or
just blow us off. So it was amazing that we were able to find Josè, the
contact. Happiness looks different on my mission. It looks like someones face lighting up when we talk about Jesus Christ. I hope I always remember this amazing feeling.
One of the members in our ward teaches
karate in the chapel every Thursday night. He has two young students
who always go and the mom always goes with them. We were finally able
to find the mom and schedule an appointment with her. Last night we had
an awesome lesson with her and her kids. The spirit was so strong in the room, I always feel surprised by the warm confirmation of God to his children, even though I should never be surprised. They all accepted baptismal
dates so we were really happy about that.

I've
talked about Francisco and his mom Angelina before. They both were
recently baptized and have such strong testimonies. Angelina came with
us on a visit and bore her testimony of the word of wisdom and how she
was able to overcome all of her addictions. They invited us over for
dinner one night with all their family and shared their testimonies the
whole time. They are just filled with love and want everybody to feel
the same as they do. It was a very healing inspiring night for me.
Have a wonderful week!
