Monday, my house
companions and I got Pizza Hut pizza and ate it on the campus of La
Universidad de Concepcion. Later we visited a
member and she gave us a fruit called Golden Berry. I have never seen such a fruit,
but it tasted good. Then we shared a message with her and her nonmember husband.
Afterwards we got to talk with him and got to know him better. He showed us his
talent of playing the harmonica. He was super good. The cool part is he came to
a social gathering at the church on Saturday, and he came to church on Sunday for
the sacrament meeting too.

Tuesday, I hit my 14-month
mark.
Wednesday, we got to
teach our atheist investigator. Even though he doesn’t believe, he is open to
listening, praying, and reading the Book of Mormon. He has the desire to
believe, and like it says in Alma 32 - just a desire to believe is what a
person needs to be able to plant the seed of faith.
We also visited some
less-actives, Hermana Mirta and Fransisca. We were able to help get Fransisca
excited enough to sign up for EFY. I hope she goes because it will help her a
lot.
Thursday, we had a
mini-cambio, and I stayed in my area with Hermana Morroquin from El Salvador. It
was a fun day, especially because she had served here about eight months ago. She
got a chance to see everyone again and how much the ward progressed. With the
help of Hermana Morroquin, one of our investigators finally understood the importance
of baptism and accepted a goal to be baptized!
Friday, we had our
first lesson with Hector. Hector
went to church in Chiguayante and afterward told the elders that he wanted to
learn more. Since he lives in our area the elders referred him to us. Our first
clue that he was super great was after we set up the lesson date, HE called US
to confirm the meeting. That NEVER happens! For the lesson we talked about the
restoration of the gospel. Then on
Saturday we taught Hector about the plan of salvation and why we’re on earth. He has studied the Bible a lot, and he said everything we have taught him makes sense. He has
already accepted a date for baptism.
Saturday, we cleaned
the chapel and then went to a good-bye surprise party for someone in our ward. In
the afternoon my companion and I were walking down the street, when suddenly a
car passed by and the driver motioned for us to wait. They parked the car and a
guy and a girl (about 20 years old) got out. It turns out that they have a brother who had taken the lessons from missionaries about a year ago. The girl now wants to
learn about the church because she has lost her confidence in her church.
Sunday, was AMAZING! These two random people came to church and the girl stayed the whole time. She really liked it and wants to come next week. Our two investigators with baptism dates came, and also the husband of the member we visited on Monday. Lots of less-actives also attended church, and our recent convert Hermano Feliciano received his first calling as ward missionary. Later in the day we contacted two people from Serbia. Then we had a dinner appointment with Hermano Feliciano and Hermana Blanca, and they made us pizza. Great day! :D
