This has been a good week! Not necessarily a
whole lot of "success", but good nonetheless, with some little
miracles here and there. I have had very few migraines lately, which has been
awesome! :) My companion and I are getting along well, and we have high hopes
for our still newish sector. We are having very slow progress since we’re both
new here, but things are getting better. Hopefully we will have more and more
success in the coming weeks.
There are more members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints per capita in Chile than there are in the USA. The
church website reports 583,359 members in Chile, which has a population of
17.62 million (3.3%). There are 6,398,889 members in the USA, with a population
of 316.1 million (2.0%). In contrast there are only 59,389 members in South
Africa with a population of 52.98 million (0.1%). So there are a lot of members
of the church in Chile. That explains why we find so many less actives when we
are out talking to people in the street. Interestingly, almost all of the less
actives desire to come back to church (or at least realize they need to be
going to church), but it’s super hard to get them reactivated. It’s a lot like
gaining weight. It’s harder to loose weight than to gain it. It’s also harder
to become reactivated, than it is to just stay active. I don’t know if that
really makes sense, but it did in my head.
