Buenos Dias Todos!
Hows
it going there in the good old U.S. of A? I have heard that it is
pretty cold and am a little bit Jealous. In this moment I am suffering
one of the worst sunburns I have received in Chile with a little bit of
sweat to cool it off ;)
This last week was a very standard week with a couple miracles that added a little bit of happiness to the routine :)
A Jorge a Day (A George a Day):
Last
Monday after P-day we left to go work. Not having any appointments
planned we decided to go visit some less active converts and to contact
on the way. On the way the spirit told me to contact a man that I saw.
As I started walking towards him he started walking towards me. He took
out his headphones and started talking to me. At first he began to talk
about how we are gringos and I was worried that he was going to start
ranting about how the Mormon church is a church of the gringos. But to
our surprise he started talking to us about Joseph Smith and The book of
Mormon. In his own words he said "La historia de Jose Smith es Bakan, y
el Libro de Mormon, tambien es Bakan" Translated that would be "The
history of Joseph Smith is Fetching awesome, and the book of Mormon, is
fetching awesome as well!"
Come
to find out he was an old Investigator who didn't get baptised because
his family is Very Catholic but now that doesn't matter to him because he
wants to continue with his life and do what he knows is right (He is
41). It really was a miracle and was amazing. It was a great testimony
that God blesses us, because after 2 weeks of contacting like crazy,
working hard, and not finding anything, he gave us someone who is more
than prepared. He already knew everything. Teaching him is just
paperwork basically. He is going to get baptised the 10th of January.
M
is also going to get baptised with her son the 30th of December! She
received an answer to the book of Mormon and her prayers and has
overcome many important trials to prove her testimony. Please pray for
her so that everything turns out okay :)
This
week we worked hard and took out the trash, teaching, contacting, and
planning like crazy. I hope that the miracles keep coming.
A
shout out to everyone who sent me a letter wishing me Merry Christmas.
Thank you for your love, support, and testimonies! I hope that you have a
fantastic new year! :)
I
am stoked to talk this Friday! Woohoo! I have 40 minutes (short, but we
will make the most of it) I will be calling at about 4 Chilean time.
Please have questions, comments, and everything ready so we don't spend
any of the call in awkward silence ha ha :)
Well
only 3 days until Friday, But Smile, remember who you are, stay golden,
and remember the reason that This season is important and choose the
present that we are going to give to our salvador to consagrate our
heart and mind :)
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Nielson :)
