Week 35

For p day today we went on a trip with the missionaries from 2 zones (like 20 elders and 14 sisters) to an active volcanoe by our sector named volcan calbuco! It was a super fun trip. We got to hike for like 3 or 4 hours, which i thought was going to be hard, but it was actually really easy because i`m so used to walking all the time here in the mission haha. There`s a ton of pictures so i`ll send pictures now more next week, because they take a while to load/send.

This week, we worked with the members here in Calbuco s tonnn, and had tons of success as well. My favorite thing that happened this week was a 17 year old dude named N

the 17 year old dude named Nacho told me and my companion about 3 months ago that he wasn`t going to go on a mission. We`ve been visiting him a lot and he`s been spending a lot of time with us with my new companion and i, we haven`t even mentioned the mission thing at all, and he just randomly told us that he finished his papers, and he`s going to submit them when he turns 18 in may!! So awesome. He said he is super excited to go, and he said he never had the desire to go until he started getting to know the elders better and learn what they do and what they are really like. He said he`ll write us when he gets his call if we are still in the mission so i`ll be waiting for that!

Another thing that was a huge miracle, was that last week we talked with the ward to set goals to go to the temple and to get as many members as we can to the temple. A couple days later, out of nowhere, we had 2 people come up to us in the street and say ¨Hey elders! We`re here for vacation and we want to visit the church here on sunday too, where is it and when does it start? we`re from Santiago and we both work in the temple, let us know if we can help with anything!¨ We were shocked haha and so this sunday we had a class about the temple and the members who haven`t gone to the temple yet, got to ask the couple who worked in the temple all sorts of questions and the couple knew EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING with regards to temple haha. It was an awesome class and it gave the members here in calbuco a huge desire to go to the temple.

Anyways, out of time for this week
