Wowee

Well guys this really was a week full of miracles and hard work.  We got to our sector and really honestly had nothing, the Elders who were here before us were a little desanimated and weren't functioning very well here, which is i guess why the Lord makes his changes in his vineyard.  So we were here all last week, basically talking to everyone we possibly could to find some people to start teaching, and we met lots of really great people.  Expecially we met a two really noteable people.  The first person's name is Nucia.  She is venezuelan and has only a few months here in chile, and has left her whole family behind in venezuela just to work and help to bring her whole family here.  We talked with her about families and God's love for us, and we could really tell that she was prepared by the Lord to meet us.  We left her with a booklet about the Plan of Salvation, and we went yesterday to see how she was doing (we haven't been able to teach her yet because of her work schedule) and she told us that she has the little book under her pillow and reads it every night. It has been great to know her and see how the promises of the gospel are already starting to help her grow her faith in the Lord.  The second person was a guy named Matias that we net in a park.  We were just walking by, (running a little bit late to lunch) and we saw him in the park with a guitar and walked over to talk to him.  In the beginning he seemed like a regular, timid guy, and in the end we were able to talk to him about the gospel and he completely opened up to us, sharing questions that he has had his whole life about god and questions about Christ's church and profets and life after death.  We shared the book of mormon with him, (he lives in another part of santiago so we are going to send his referral over) and he said "if the answers to my questions are here, I will read it, I promise." I know that God is preparing people ALL over the world. We don't always know what other people are going through, so don't be afraid to share the gsopel whenever the spirit tells you you should.  Put yourself in their place.  If you didn't have the knowledge of the gospel, wouldn't you be glad that someone shared it with you ? I love you all and hope you are all doing well, I'm sorry there's no pictures this week but oh well.  Take care fam and hug my little brother for me if you see the guy
