hey all you people on the other side of the world! this week in the new sector has been psycho, but also filled with miracles! let me explain. what amaro and i have been trying to do is we have been using the antiguos WAY more to try and find the people that want to listen to the message that we have, and it really did work! we have a total of 4 new investigators as of right now, and it has been amazing to be able to find the people that have the interest still to change their lives! its way easier and efficient to talk to somebody that has already heard the gospel than trying to fight with somebody in their doorway for like 2 minutes, and then have no results after. one cool thing has happened this week. so we were looking through all the old phone numbers and stuff on our iphone x (kidding though, it's a flip phone smh), and we found this girl named rocita! so we called her, and she said that we could come by at like 9:30 in the morning. i was literally about ready to say no because i really wanted to do my morning studies vs leaving the house in literally freezing cold weather and trying to find this girl in her house. amaro talked me into it, and so we went to rocitas house, and she was there! her story was that she listened to the missionaries like waaaayyy long ago, and they stopped passing by because she is studying to be an engineer, and was sooo busy. so we talked a little bit more with her, and turns out that she has a very strong connection with her family. we talked a little bit about eternal families to tried to ring her memory a little bit, and the spirit was so strong. she started to cry, and said that she wants to try and learn a little more. literally am so excited to work with her! side note...is has been really cold here and im pretty sure i havent felt my toes in like two weeks, but its ok hahaha. we went to the temple today for p day and there was literally snow on the temple grounds. PSYCHO. also, we were at a members house, and I was standing next to their electric stove trying to warm up a little...but oops, i got a little too close, and burnt a hole in my pants! I was freaking out, and the members were like...it's ok mijo, you have other pants, no? Uhhh, i actually have lots of pants, but they are all too big, this was the only pair that fit me. all the hermanas of the house started chatting, and were like...bring us all your pants, and we will take them all in and make them fit for you! small blessings people....that i happened to be at a seamstress house when i burnt a hole in my pants. we were at this eternal investigators house, right? we were watching the news and how it was going to snow here (fun fact, it didnt, but when we went to the temple, we found some snow in the shave (grass?), so it was fun). we were eating some dinner with them, talking to them about who knows what, and the news caster was in the part of santiago where it actually was snowing a ton. he went up to this little girl and was like,"HEY KID IS IT COLD OR WHAT?!" THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS SO SHOOK AND SCARED OF THIS MAN. SHE LOOKED UP AT THE DUDE AND WAS LIKE,"uh. only a little." AND THEN RUNS AWAY, LITERALLY TRIPS ON SOME ICE, FALLS TO THE GROUND, AND THEN IT CUTS TO ANOTHER PART OF SANTIAGO WITH NO SNOW. (poor little girl, but oh man!) I LITERALLY WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRINKING SOME WATER WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND I SPIT IT ALL ON THE TABLE WHERE MY FOOD WAS. THE INVESTIGATOR WAS ALMOST PEEING HERSELF FROM THE DISASTER THAT HAPPENED, AND MY COMPANION JUST LOOKED AT ME FUNNY WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE. literally good times, good times. well i got to go though....hopefully all you have a good week this week! chao for now! EKW snow in santiago some of my disctrict finally married...jk mom, dont worry...just companions just me.. in the snow..happy as can be
