Week 75 - Chilean Neighborhoods

Today for our p-day, I'm going to make tacos with Elder Palilla and play some basketball.  The zone didn't do anything special this morning.  The zone leaders are off buying a bed for a tall elder.  The beds here are really small.  This elder is 6 feet 4 inches tall.  I have to have my pillow right against the wall or my feet stick out.

This week we had some successes.

One of our investigators seems to be progressing pretty well.  She's very careful about things.  She didn't go to church this week, but she went to a baptism which was good.  I think it kind of scared her as Elder Palilla baptized someone.  She's read the Book of Mormon and understands a lot.  She asked a great question about what it means when it says they were baptized by fire.  She also started looking up things and asking questions.  On one visit, we had a recent convert with us. She said she knew a lot of what others said but didn't really care.  She knew the gospel was true.

We taught another lady.  She's older and studies with the Jehovah's Witnesses.  She wasn't feeling well.  We gave her a blessing and her health was restored.  She is really grateful and has become more receptive to our message.

Chile played yesterday at the perfect time.  It was during lunch.  We didn't contact during this time because the entire country was inside watching the game. I heard Chile won 2 to 0!

The man that is making me scripture covers has started!  I'm guessing he will be done in two or three weeks.

Houses are smaller here.  People live close together.  They don't need cars to get around.  Homes are built around businesses that are close by.
