Well friends and fam this week was a good one, lots of work, lots of being tired and doing lame excersizes, but hey we are still working !!! This week we had a lot of miracles, expecially a couple of things that happened in the weekend. This weekend we had a open house in our chapel, so we went to a big market right down the street and started giving out invitations. We gave out probably around 400 invites and got rejected probably 300 times by people in the market. It was almost funny how terribly we were rejected, people would just continue walking and I would just keep on talking and they would continue ignoring me for a good five seconds until I would give up, BUT we did meet some good people, and we had faith that some good would come out of the open house. So we are in the open house and to our surprise (and great joy) a woman that we contacted there came !! As we greeted her we realized that she is DEAF and DUMB, and we were awed by the fact that she showed up, because she definitely didn't understand anything that I said to her in the market !! Then she also came to church on sunday, and she loved it. Such a great old lady. It was a great moment for our ward to unite and embrace her needs, read the banners of the open house with her slowly and there is a sister from our ward who speaks a little bit of Chilean sign language, so oh man was that crazy. We also got a great reference from a member this week, a guy named Matias who is really interested in the church and also came on sunday to church. We are seeing lots of blessings in our sector and I love the Lord and His work, God will always bless us if we keep moving strong with our faith in him. Keep moving forward everybody !! I never really thought of "endure to the end" in this way until I have 8 weeks left in my mission, but as D y C 4 says, if our eye is single to the Lord's glory and his work, we are qualified to work and given the energy-tools-help that we need to keep moving. I love you guys !!
