Hola Familia!!
I am so glad to hear that you all had a great Halloween ! I loved all the pictures thanks for sending them. I had a great Noch de Hogar with our mamita and papmono and there sister who isn't a member . It was great we talked about our talents we all have and how we need to share with others. We then made Carmel apples !! They were so yummy!! This week was awesome, The Lord blessed us with many small miracles. We tried visiting this hermano from the list and when we stopped by they told us he had passed away 3 months ago. We were in shock to hear this because nobody told us anything about this hermano who was only 30 years old. the gentlemen told us we could pass again to visit the mom though. So we went back and the husband answered and said ¨my wife would loved to hear this she needs something to relief her pain, she visits the cemetery every day¨ ¨please pass by tomorrow¨. We where is shock and so excited, So we bought her some flowers and were planning to visit Tuesday after district meeting, however this district meeting was different we went to the cemetery cause it was memorial day here. We went and did a lot of contacts about the plan of salvation. We were praying so hard that we would run into this lady that we have been looking for hermana Angela. After two hours when exchanging all of our referrals one elder told us he found her!!! how awesome. so we go Wednesday with the flower and she isn't there , however her daughter comes so we are able to leave the flowers with her. We finally get a hold of her and she is really opens, tells us that her kids are all sad and they need something to make them feel better. she told us her children are catholic and so is she but maybe its time for a change of heart.
We were walking to pick her u from church when she told us she cant come cause her husband was sick. But no worries we will meet with her again. We got Carlito to attend church with us finally!! wohoo!!
Yesterday I felt like we really needed to walk up to Las Tomas which is the poorest area the houses are made of random pieces, they are shacks . Its so sad. We walked up there trenching in sand and was able to find a less active family and they opened their home to us and can´t wait for us to return. the people in this area are so humble cause they have very little. Its amazing how wide of an economic spectrum we have in this sector. Its been great here in a Iquique I have finally learned to love the people here the same as my Vallenar.
These last couple of weeks I have been teaching a certain lesson about Goals and desires to the less actives. We have them write on a sticky note all there goals for the future. We then have them share one , and I tell them that I like their goals and think they are great. I then take their papers from them and put them in my bag where i have other blank sticky notes. I take out one blank note at a time and say however the world disagrees , having a family isn't important and i then throw the blank note mimicking theirs on the floor. I do this for them each. I then stop and say however your goals are important right. they are your goals and God and Christ think they are important. I share mark 11:22-24 and then 10:27. And then give back the original paper and tell them that with faith and action their dreams can come true cause with God all is possible. Everyone loves this lesson and I know its because we are giving them a visual. We have learned over time that activity and visuals make a differences.
So I challenge you all to write out your goals and your desires for the future and place them somewhere so you can read them daily. You are all children of God, so you deserve the best , so set HIGH GOALS and DREAMS and with God you will be able to accomplish ANYTHING!!
I LOVE YOU ALL and wish you a very HAPPY WEEK!!!
Keep reading, praying and serving the Lord in every way possible :)
p.s. Mom and Hayden feel better,so sorry your sick again! Mom I got the package but cant open it tell tomorrow so I'm super excited!! thanks . Dad what colored did you paint the room? Roland you start school again?
