Hey everyone! :D
So guess what, This
week on Saturday a guy came up to us. Asks us for something he can read
about God. So we give him a pamphlet and a Book of Mormon. Then he tells
us he's homeless (totally didn't look like it) and that he doesn't know
how long he'll be in Chile. But he accepted our invitation to church
anyway and then we said we would meet him back there, at that same spot
in the street, right next to the apartment that he was borrowing from
some strangers, at 9:30 am so we could walk to church together. He said
okay. So we pass by Sunday morning and he's not there. So we go over to
the window and yell his name. Nothing. We yell it again. Wait 5 minutes.
Then suddenly the curtain moves and we see him!! Pretty sure we woke
him up haha. Then he motions to us that he's gonna come down. So he
comes down to tell us that he won't be able to come to church because it
turns out there is someone offering him a place to live outside of
Santiago and that they are coming to pick him up in 2 hours. But he
thanked us for the Book and said it was a miracle that we had met him
the day before and that thanks to us, he could be more connected to the
word of God. We walked away feeling amazed.... like holy cow miracle.
Even though he couldn't make it to church and we won't be able to teach
him, I'm positive that was an important moment in his life. Now I just
hope he can find the consolation and direction he needs in the Book of
Mormon. It's crazy, I've read it pretty much my whole life but am just
now figuring out how much love and direction it has, and if I have a
good, focused study session, I always leave feeling loved and cared for,
like my spirit dad knew exactly what I needed and gave it to me.
Sending my love!!!!
xoxo
