Our miracle happened the very first thing out of the house
while getting on our first bus.
Miracle #51: We met a woman who really wanted to hear
our message and asked us to come to her house…too bad she lives out of our
area, but we will pass her information on to the Elders who are in her area.
Other than that we went to a couple of museums today for
p-day. P-days here are fun, but it is
sometimes hard to go to work after having fun.
However, I was in an especially good mood today and talked with just
about everyone I met.

Today I had division with Elder Faber and it was pretty
interesting. Every missionary is so
different and it is refreshing to change things up a bit and learn from other
teaching styles. I have been very fortunate to be able to go on so many splits
early on in my mission. I think that it is helping me to learn a lot more
quickly than if I weren’t able to do splits.
Our miracle happened once again with the familia V.
Miracle #52: The whole family participated in the
lesson today and asked us to come back on Saturday for the 4th visit
this week.
The weird/creepy thing for the day happened when we ran into
a man who thought he was Jesus and he was going around casting out devils.

Today was one of those blah days. I have a huge blister on the bottom of my
foot and it feels like I am walking on legos all day long. It was a way hard
day because I was just kind of out of it, but we had a little miracle happen.
Miracle #53: A less active member’s daughter
participated in a lesson of ours.

Today was a good day.
This morning Elder S. stumped some Bible bashers with a scripture. We had our miracle in the lesson with the
family V again.
Miracle #54: Hermana F (la madre) accepted a date for
her baptism and actually wants to move it up if possible. We were so happy for her!
The other fun part of the day was seeing a gunshot across
the street from where we were teaching.
We saw the gun barrel and the muzzle flash and everything. Elder S. go so freaked out. I just laughed because now I have had another
rare life experience that I lived through!

Today was a decent Sunday.
We had a good day with a powerful miracle.
Miracle #55: We got an Elder’s quorum President called
today! This will really help the missionary efforts here in the ward.
I am pretty sure that parents here in Chile are raising a
generation of diabetics. Kids here start
drinking coke/any soda, when they are less than 2 years old. They actually put
it in their baby bottles.

I had divisions today and I worked with a Latin Elder. It was GREAT!
I love speaking only Spanish! It is so fun. We pretty much just knocked
on doors for a couple of hours and visited people to see if we could teach
them. I had a good time with Elder
Cascante and was surprised with how well I understood him until about 9:30 at
night when the Spanish part of my brain just completely shut off. It is super lame. The other elder’s house is really big and
fairly nice, but they don’t take care of it so it is pretty ghetto. The miracle of the day was during contacting:
Miracle #56: We were invited in by an inactive member
that we have never met and we were able to teach him a good lesson.
We found out later that he really doesn’t ever do anything
that he says he will, but still we were able to teach someone something!
I stayed in the other Elder’s house for the night and met a
lot of missionaries that I really liked and got along with. It was a good time,
and I learned a lot on this division.

This morning I almost died.
So don’t freak out Mom, I’m going to tell you this story and if you
freak out, I won’t tell you any more good stories. To explain a little, in
order to heat the water here they use gas and something called a califont. It has to be lit before you shower, but in
this house it is really old and spews a lot of gas. When I went to light it, I guess that I
turned up the gas too much and when I struck the match into the califont to
light it, I created a huge fireball and lost the hair on my arm in the
process. It was kindof funny, but also
scary!
Miracle #57: I did not get seriously hurt in a
fireball today. AND
We were safe while walking down the street past some
serious gangsters brandishing assault rifles.
Chilling!
