Week #83 March 7, 2018

This week a senior couple posted some pictures on face book from a service project they did.

hi hows it going? 

We totally have our own hoarding show down here. The senior missionaries work with the city and find a lot of houses like that and the missionaries take them apart. The only problem is that almost everyone here has a little hoarder in them. As we were throwing all the stuff away several people walked by and wanted to take the trash. 

Alejandra stopped smoking about 2 weeks ago and she is going to get baptized this Saturday. She has been investigating the church for like 12 years and just now is going to be able to be baptized. Yeah everyone one here smokes. I am 99% sure i have second hand smoking. 

Today we went to the temple we were going to go to a session at 9 but we didn't´t make it on time.  And it wasn't´t my fault mom, we left at like 7:15 but the buses and public transportation are just so clogged in the morning- especially where we are.  We couldn't´t get any bus or colectivo to the metro/train station so after waiting and trying forever we had to walk like 30 minutes there and then take the metro to the center of Santiago and by the time we got there it was past time.  We ended up be witnesses for the baptisms and doing confirmations, then we left and ate at subway. 

This past week we had our zone conference and during the conference all the missionaries shared a favorite scripture from the book of mormon. The scripture I shared was 3 nephi 9:21-22.  It seems like every time we have a conference as a mission, or with a seventy, or an apostle we talk about the book of mormon.  So hopefully you guys are already reading it everyday.  

I love you so much see you later
