Saludas del Ciudad del Eterna Primavera!
This week was crazy but was an awesome week at the same time! We just had transfers, and I'll be staying in Arica with Elder Sepúlveda for another six weeks!
Highlights
The sister missionaries were taken out of our ward this week. They've been having some problems with some guys that have been harassing them, so President Dalton took them out. This means that we're going to have to take over their sector while maintaining ours. This means A LOT more walking. We're also going to have to manage our time really well as we take over the investigators of the sisters. This cambio is going to be one that involves a lot of humility and faith in the Lord!
We've been seeing a lot of progress with some of the families that we're working with. This cambio we're expecting to see many baptisms, and we're super optimistic!
This p-day we played a little bit of guitar at the house of one of the members! He has a sick Gibson and was playing tons of cool riffs for us! Turns out, I can still pick out one or two things, haha!
Spiritual Thought
In all of our lives we're going to have the opportunity to teach. One of the greatest examples of teaching is the missionary Ammon in the Book of Mormon. One of my favorite passages of scripture is when he is teaching to King Limhi. One of the things that Ammon does to start teaching is that he starts to question King Limhi. In Alma 18:24 he starts to ask Lamoni questions. Specifically he asks if Limhi Believes in God. Limhi responds that he doesn't know who God is.
What many people would do here is proceed to explain about Heavenly Father. Ammon though, being a good teacher, and led by the spirit, asks another question! The key to good teaching, I'm finding out, is asking inspired questions.
I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is a true book and that through it we can recieve TONS of wisdom and be blessed in many ways!
Love you guys!
