Well this week went by really well.
1. Well first
off I went on splits with another gringo in my zone. It seemed a bit odd
to be with an american speaking English but it was soooo amazing. Also
his pension´s daughter was opening her mission call that night so I got
the opportunity to see her open it. We went around and guessed where
she would go. I literally thought temple square but when my companion
said that Trump is making it difficult to have people go into the states
I changed it to Chile. But when she opened it, it turns out that she is
going to temple square. Just goes to show you need to listen to the
spirit all the time.
2.
We had a baptism this week. His name is Jair and the first thing that I
saw (which I'm not sure if you can all see) was his little cross on his
forehead. Sometimes President tells us that the escogidos have a big "E"
in their foreheads but I think that this was a little different. But
after his baptism you could feel the spirit so strongly. So strongly
because he was trying to hold back his tears of joy.
Well
all in all this week went by really good. It started to get into the
cold season but that isn't stopping our progress. Our ward mission
leader found a friend from work and we finally had a lesson with them
this week. We showed up to their apartment which was on the 19 floor (I
was trying so hard not to look out the window because I would start to
get a little sick) and they just started to ask us questions. What
exactly do you do exactly? What´s the difference between your little
churches and the big ones (temples)? What´s the true story of Joseph
Smith? Well we answered all of their questions, including the word of
wisdom (uh-oh) and then invited them to come to church the next day.
They accepted and actually showed up. They felt the spirit so strongly
that they want to listen to us even more. I know that this church is
true and that when people are ready and prepared to listen to the spirit
he will reveal the truth of all things.
I love you all,
Elder Garbett
