i hope you´re all doing good! how´s school for lily and syd and izzy?! and syds job...how´s that coming!? and florida? any news? yeah the fleas are getting better. don´t worry mom!
this week was seriously amazing. i don´t have the words or the time to explain all the awesome things that are happening. the branch im serving in is getting stronger. i love love love the members of this branch. they have the strongest testimonies. they are such good examples to me. they love missionary work and they love helping us in whatever way they can. our mission leader is awesome too. awe i just dont ever want to leave this sector! we are really starting to see progress in every single aspect of the work here. in the branch, in our investigators, and in our personal progress as well. its super funny to look back on my first day here. when i hardly knew any spanish and could hardly understand anyone. heavenly father is definately blessing us with the fruits of our labor. we are trying so hard to work dilligently everyday, every moment, being EXACTLY obedient. and we are seeing miracles.
we have so many new investigators...its AWESOME! ok so there´s this one investigator right now and he is 16 years old. we knocked on his door like a week ago and were talking to him for a little bit and we gave him a card with a number on it to recive a BOM. so he told us he would call the number and we left. we didn´t talk to him for very long because we wanted to go back another day and teach his whole family but he told us that his parents are catholic and that they don´t want anything to do with other religions. anyway, we left and i had the strongest impression to go back. i had no idea why but we did and when we walked past his house he was still standing in his door way and he was calling the number on the card for his BOM. when he hung up the phone he called to us in the street and was like "hey! where is your church and how do i get in?" we told him the street of the church and he told us he would be there sunday. so saturday night we called him to see if he was still going to come to church and if he got his book of mormon. he told us yes, and that he has been reading everyday and praying to know if its true. and he told us he has seen a change in his life, that he feels really good! yesterday, he stayed for all 3 hours of church...and all the young men were super nice to him and welcomed him. awe it was so awesome! after church he came up to us and was like "its like a family here". SO TENDER RIGHT!?!?! awe i wanted to cry. hermana bennett says she knows he is going to get baptized. i know it too.
we have a few other investigators like him that are reading the book of mormon and praying to know if its true. its so amazing the power of the book of mormon. i can´t express in words how much i love that book. its my best friend. it really contains the fullness of the gospel. i know that it can change peoples lives...im watching it happen everyday.
well i love you all so so much! i hope you have a great week! remember that someone in CHILE loves you!!!
con MUCHO amor, hermana steele
