Me voy. I´m headed to the south this
time. The sector is called Neulól or something like that but it´s part of
Temuco. I don´t know anything about it but apparently it is very cold and very
wet. That’s how I like my winters. Today I have to pack up my stuff, which I’m
getting better at, and say goodbye to some people. Tomorrow we have to get up
at like 5 to get to Concepción on time. I´m going to miss Lebu a lot, I felt
like I wasn´t here for much time but I enjoyed it well.
This week started off well. We found a
lot of people, we taught lots of good lessons, and lots of members went with us
to appointments. Then Saturday and Sunday all the appointments fell. Every
single one. Sometimes that happens. Also, saturday in the night, they assigned
us to give talks on Sunday. It was my first time speaking in public in Spanish.
It went pretty well but only 40 something people showed up to church.
We have been working with this guy named
Miguel. When he was 6 months old, the house burned down with him inside. He was
supposed to die but instead he was hospitalized for over 5 years. That is a
long time. Now he only has stub fingers on one hand and a thumb on the other
and his face is severely scarred. But now he works like crazy to get money for
his family. Normally when people work like that, we can never get a hold of
them but he always makes time for us. He was so happy when we gave him a Book
of Mormon, he could almost not believe it. Him and his 12 year old daughter
read it every night. From him, I learned that the people that get most out of
life are those who are humble and determined and powered by love.
Thats it for the week. My mind is too preoccupied
by all the stuff I have to do before I leave.
Love you all!
Paul
