Audrey's Adventures in Santiago Chile: 6/6/18

Happy national day in Sweden... That was the only holiday i could find that is today...

This week was full of food for Hermana Spinelli and changes! Once we found out Spinelli would be leaving, we started saying bye to members and investigators when we had a free chance and every place we went gave us food. I literally had to stand up in the middle of a dinner once to stretch out my stomach... everyone looked at me kind of weird for a second but then they understood hahaha

We also had an awesome week with our investigators! Paola and Esperanza came to church! They told us they loved it and they want to keep coming AND they acepted their baptismal date for the 30th! We also visited Tatiana (see picture below) and she is great! We lost contact with her because someone stole her phone, but now we are back on track for her baptismal date also on the 30th!

So ya thats news and members and investigators.. now my new companion! My new companion is Hermana Guerrero and she is from Ecuador. She is cool! She is also the youngest child, but of five not four and she doesn´t like to play soccer but she likes to watch it.. She likes chocolate cake and walks really fast...that is basically all i know so far because we have only been together for one day but we have a whole 6 weeks to get to know each other better :)

Winter has started to i am wearing tights, boots, coats, hats, and gloves every day and someone said that it might snow this weekend, but i think that might be a rumor... we´ll see!

1 Nephi 11:16-17

NEPHI

16 And he said unto me: knowest thou the condescension of God?

17 And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things

1 Nephi 15:6-9

LAMAN AND LEMUEL
And it came to pass that after I had received strength I spake unto my brethren, desiring to know of them the cause of their disputations.
7 And they said: Behold, we cannot understand the words which our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the olive tree, and also concerning the Gentiles.
8 And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?
9 And they said unto me: We have not; for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us.

These are two examples of how we can react to knowledge or new revelations. On one hand there is Nephi, he has no idea what the condescension of God is but he relies on what he DOES know which is that God loves us. On the other hand, Laman and Lemuel are disputing and what not and the reason is because they don´t understand nor do they TRY to understand. They say that God never told them so it is his fault. This new information that they don´t know caused them to doubt their testimonies and in the end, never understand.

I don´t know everything, but I know that God loves me and all of his children and with that knowledge I have what I need to continue on.

Love you all so much ! Have a great week!
