Hey guys!
I don´t know if i have said this recently, but just in case,
I LOVE CHILE! This last week we were heading to a members´house one day when a
lady screams "hermanas!" behind us, runs up and gives my companion a
giant hug while bawling her eyes out. Turns out her name is Maria Eugenia and
she is from Venezuela which is in a pretty bad state right now. She left her
husband and daughter to come to Chile to accept a job offer, but turns out it
was a lie, and she has been here for a week without a job, money, or house. She
is a member of the church so she had been looking for the chapel or
missionaries so when she found us she was very relieved. We invited her to our
next appointment with Ana. We had previously scheduled a blessing for Ana with
our elders quorum president, and as Maria Eugenia was pretty shaken, they
offered her one as well. It was honestly just a super sweet experience that
reminded us that God is aware of EVERY single one of us. What are the
odds she found us on our way to an appointment where two worthy priesthood
holders were ready and willing to give her a blessing.
Another miracle! We have been working for a while with our
friend Ana who is trying to leave behind some addicting habits in order to be
baptize. She has tried countless times to stop, but it has always been hard
because her husband also has this addiction and never supported her. BUT this
week we had a family home evening with them where we talked about eternal
families and he shared that he is now trying to quit alongside his wife in
order to help her reach her baptism. People can and DO change.
Other than that our weeks are just full of Hermana Martinez
tripping every five seconds (like epic dramatic arms flailing trips) and a new
delicious discovery called trufas :)
Love you guys! Have a GREAT week!
