I met someone famous!

Hey friends and family!!!

IT´S TRUE I MET SOMEONE FAMOUS :O......

Elder Nelson! haha XD

Really though it was hilarious--there were like a bajillion missionaries lined up outside the church waiting for the doors to open so we could get seats for the conference, and when they opened the doors it was like we were the GA section of an Imagine Dragons concert hahaha. 

But anyways the conference was soooo awesome!! We got together with the Santiago North mission, which means I got to see a bunch of my North friends I met in the CCM! (Sam Scarr I thought of you too and was sad that I didn´t get to see you!!) But yeah the first thing he did was shake all our hands. It was really cool :) it took a half hour haha because there was over 400 missionaries. 

In his talk, he explained about 6 points of doctrine. First he talked about the Abrahamic Covenant and I was like NO WAY I was totally trying to study that during the week but my brain wasn´t functioning and so I was still confused about it!! So that was exciting. :) Now I´m like.... whoa. Feel the responsibility. (preaching the gospel I mean). It was a good pump me up. :) 

He got my excited about studying better and really understanding the doctrine until it´s part of me so that I can explain it more clearly and simply. Working on that this week. :)

Soooo we had a totally awesome experience with Jorge this week. Basically I was having one of those missionary-stensial crisis because I was like wahhhh why isn{t Jorge progessing, what am I doing here, etc etc... and then BAM he shares his testimony. And wow it was strong. He told us he was passing a hard time last week when he told us he didn´t want to be baptized after all. In fact he was so down spiritually that he didn´t eat for five days. He told us he had stopped reading the scriptures during that time and it made him feel like he was living under water. Then Hermano Sepulveda (the member that always comes with us to teach Jorge) made all these cool symbolic comparisons to Jorge´s experience, and rebirth/baptism. Then we asked him how he felt about being baptized and he said he knew he needed to do it, he just needed time. So we´ll see what happens. PRAYING SOOOOO HARD. Not just that he can be baptized, but that he can think clearly and be able to distinguish the spirit from the adversary and then act according to his beliefs.

PHEW.

Also pray for our other investigator, Ana!!! She´s so awesome. Such a sincere person. She even invited her own member to come to the lesson with us this week! She was at church and the Relief Society President came up to her and was like hey I wanna come visit you! And then she was like, oh I´m meeting with the missionaries this week if you wanna come! haha so that was awesome. But yeah she´s so sincere in her soul searching. She just wants to find the truth. And we´re trying hard to help her find it. She accepted the baptism date of Nov. 30th so that´s our goal! Praying that she can get an answer to her prayers this week. :)

Ahhhh I just love you guys. :) Thanks for everything. I love P Days cuz I love hearing about your livessss!!! keep being awesome!! 

XOXO
