Haitian weaves, Dog tattoos and Homeless men... 1/23/19


HEY!!!

Lots of things to tell and little time so bear with me!!! 
1. Had divisions with Hermana Warner where we had to close our eyes and run out of a porn filled house, tried on a Haitians hair weave, and ate pumpkin pie... so basically best division ever!

2. We met Dante. Dante we thought was homeless, but turns out he has a house! He has a problem with alcohol, but honestly wants to change, and came up asking us for help. He is actually a very nice old man.

3. The elders left from our ward so now we get to work in both sectors, AND we have a baptism to prepare for this Saturday! His name is Anelka and he fell through a roof and didn´t die so he took that as a sign that he needs to be baptized! 

4. We met Lili who ended up in the hospital after drinking waaaay too much so decided she needs to stop or she will die SO she has quit drinking for three weeks and has now found us to help her turn her life around! She is a MEGA dog enthusiast like 15 dogs, dog tattoos and when she was in the hospital, she only thought of her dogs, BUT we love her (and at least it isn´t cats am i right?!)

5. We took a recent convert Claudia to the temple to do baptisms for the first time ON her birthday because she is just so sweet that of course she wants to go to the temple for her birthday. And while we were there...

6. I ran into a family friend Hermana Chulos who is serving as a family history missionary in Viña del mar in the temple!!! It was seriously the coolest thing (and a GIANT miracle because the odds of us runing into each other are slim to none), and she gave me THE BIGGEST HUG I have had in a long time. She talked about how great the Bever family is so ya, quick shoutout to my awesome family, I love you guys!

This week we saw a mormon message (I will attach the link) about a man who thought God had abandoned him because he didn´t feel like God ever answered him, BUT he realized God has been giving him answers the whole time (9 years) he just didn´t RECOGNIZE them. The spirit speaks to us in MANY ways, so if we feel like we haven´t gotten an answer look again! Try looking outside the box, and I promise you will find your answer!!!

Sending lots of love from Chile!
