Cast your net

Elder Bof and I had another good week here. It rained so much! This winter it almost hasn't rained at all, but this week it poured. All the streets were flooded. It was a miracle to breathe in clean air afterwards, compared to the usual polluted santiago air!
We found another really good family. They're from Peru. We had such a good first lesson with them. I'm learning how important it is to have a really good first lesson. Anyways after the lesson they invited us over for lunch. On sunday we passed by their house and there were a ton of people! Like around twenty all jammed into a small apartment. They were really nice to us and gave us a bunch of good peruvian food. I feel so grateful when these people treat us well because they do not have to and do not have a lot of money and I feel honored by their kindness.   Afterwards we asked if we could read a scripture with them and they said it was ok. We read Luke 7 together.  It's my go to chapter because I love those stories so much.   We went into their house with loud music and party status and we left with a really sweet feeling of peace. It was a really touching experience to me how God's word touches people and atmospheres.
The thing that's hard about our sector is that we live so far from the church! Not a lot of people have cars and it's about a forty-five minute walk to the church. There isn't a lot of buses that pass by either. Oh well. We'll have to figure out how to get everybody to church!

Please tell Luke and Paul living your life to be a missionary is worth it.   I am seeing amazing things and learning how to reach out to people and really care about and be interested in their lives.   The one thing I find myself struggling with is how impatient I feel with people sometimes.   No matter how patient I tell myself I will be I have to admit Paul the missionary speaks the words I want to express.  
Romans 7:15  basically it's I do the things I specifically don't want to do and don't do what I should.   Paul understands.   But,  like the disciples who cast their nets over and over with no luck I realize I need to just keep trying.   As they were about to give up Jesus told them to try one last time on the other side of the boat.   And as we all know the Nets were overflowing.   GOD ASKS US TO JUST KEEP TRYING.   We never know when the net will come back full but we know that there will be times it comes back overflowing.   And every day,  cast your net again.   Never give up.   And someday I won't feel frustrated and anxious with people and situations that don't do it my way.  

I love you guys
