hey all you people!! this week is going to be a pretty short letter...IM SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME. (DAD!!! I PROMISE I'LL EMAIL YOU BACK NEXT WEEK...sorrrry!!!) so my peeps, let me fill you in right quick on the little stuff. this week, one of the guys from our house went back home, and it was really hard for the ward to say goodbye to elder magadan...but we did get a new elder in here!! elder cheldule!! he is 25 and has a degree in electric engineering! he is super smart, and super humble. i think that he is going to be a sick addition to our new little clan over here. the day before magadan left, he burned some clothes outside of our house in a little pot that we had. the owner of the house came out, looked at us, and then promptly went back inside and was like,"gosh dang mormons." needless to say, i was in tears, both from magadan leaving and the passive agressiveness from our land lord. irigoyen and i have been trying really hard this past week to try and resolve doubts using the book of mormon, and the power that it had in conversion! we were able to meet with one of our recent investigators, named danilo. he is an alcoholic, and its really hard for him to wrap his mind around "changing his life for the better". he kept complaining to us how he doesnt want to completely change his life in three seconds because he is going to feel rushed and all that. i had a prompting to go to alma and look for a scripture to try and help him. i found alma 37:6, which talks about how the small and simple things will come to pass with great blessings! he was left to think about that little scripture, and we committed him to be baptized after that! i love the book of mormon! one of the cool studies that i had this week was in ether 12. in this chapter, the prophet ether goes out and starts tracting and being a missionary, but the vity that he is teaching doesnt want literally anything to do with him, because they couldnt see the things that he was teaching them (like about god and jesus christ). mosiah steps in and is like,"hey guys. dont you know that faith is literally the foundation of everything here?? without the faith in one person, they cant receive the blessings or the miracles that they want." i highly recommend going though this in your family home evening or in your own personal study because wow, i was about crying by the end of it. well i have to go...again. i hope all of you have an awesome week!! see yall in a second! EKW magadan, pa-lease don't go just some office xp and me here in chile until next week
