This week was awesome! It included a bit of
everything.
I’m in a trio now! Elder Ruz from Spain will be joining Elder
Bennion and I this week, and maybe the next until his companions feet get
better. His companion was operated on
both feet. Poor guy, shouldn’t be walking but he’s trying his best to mask the
pain. So President Arrington told him to take a week off and work in the office
to recuperate. Please keep Elder Letelier in your prayers that he might get
better.
One of the people we taught in Conce, Brahyan, was
baptized yesterday! He is dating a girl in our ward, so he came to all the
activities, lessons and stuff we had in the chapel. When he told us he wanted to be baptized, he
revealed that he lived in THNO (Talcahuano) and then I got sent to THNO!!!! I
was super excited cuz I thought it was fate when his street name appeared on
our map... but he lives in our neighboring ward. So I passed the reference, and
two months later He got baptized. A LOT of people from Lorenzo came also,
aaaaaaaah que recuerdo. It was great to see all of them again.
This week has been ups and downs though. The hills have become a bit muddy and Elder Bennion’s
shoes don’t have the best traction. We
met with a ton of people this week. One of our goals was to expand the work
load to more than just the typical few. When we got to Sunday, our investigator
Catherine had to work to cover for her uncle, and the rest of our people didn’t
show.
We strive to have the Spirit always to really help the
people feel what we’re saying. We always
feel we can do better. We pray that the investigators
keep their commitments we're extending so they can really see the difference
the Gospel can make in their lives. I have to say that I’ve seen how good it
feels, the kind of person I’m becoming because I’m doing these 3 little things
that are so simple: read, pray, and go
to church. Alma 37:6 explains it
perfectly and we can apply this to any situation. When you focus on the little things, Great
things come to pass. But that’s if we do
the little things!
This week in the trio we’ll continue to strive for the
company of the Spirit.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Watts
