Magic and Missionary work

This week we found a new investigator named Brandon. He is a magician and has the most insane tricks! He was literally blowing our minds.  There was one trick that he did that was ridiculious. Elder Mostacero and I stood up and almost ran out of his house because we had no idea how he did it. It made me remember how amazing the great Magic Max was in 2nd grade.  This guy might be better although he didn't shrink himself.  Anyways we had a really good lesson with him. We finished the lesson and spent some time talking about how God gives us true success and transforms us into good people.

Cesar is doing awesome. One day he had a bunch of questions and we spent the whole time trying to answer his questions. I guess it sparked a huge interest in him because in two days he read all the way to Jacob and ended the week in Mosiah. Better said he listened rather than read because in his work he drives all day so instead of listening to music he's been listening to the Book of Mormon and has been really loving. It is so awesome to see how bright his testimony is. No one who sees what I see first hand can argue what the Book of Mormon does to people.  Its not something you can explain, you just have to see.  Their family is so special.

On Friday we had interchanges. It was a pretty chill day. We left the window open and a cat got into the house. As we were trying to get the cat out of the house I thought of Emma and how lucky she was for going to a place without a lot of cat sightings! I am not scared of cats but honestly this guy was a little spooky!

This Sunday they told me I was going to give a talk, but someone from the Stake came and spoke so there wasn't enough time. Anyways I prepared my talk on testimony. A testimony becomes powerful when we listen to what a person needs and give them what the Holy Ghost puts into our hearts. I think sometimes we want to show how much we know or say what we want to say, but when we listen to the holy ghost, we say what God desires his child to hear. At least I have a talk prepared for the next time :)

Things are going great here in Chile. I hope all is well and that you all have a great week!
