It has been a very cold week but not quite so rainy. Today is a gorgeous day with a lot of sun and a lot of dogs basking in the sun, I think we all are enjoying a break from the rain) Dogs laying in the sun make me think of Tanner and Oscar laying on the porch sunning and how Oscars tummy would get really tan!
This has been a good week with alot of growth and we have
been finding people to teach. We had to go to Puerto Montt a couple of times in
the past week which always cuts into our time out because it is an hour away. I'm starting to get tired of buses but at the same time its fun because you see
alot of interesting people on the bus.
Last night we had a way cool experience. We were
passing by people and we had the feeling to knock a certain door and out came
an inactive woman who was super nice,that we could reactivate. We have a lot
bigger focus on less active members than on anything else right now in
the mission, because there are so many of them. We are giving them little
assignments like bringing the bread for the sacrament and then seeing which of
them are willing to come to church and we try to ensure that there will be a
good reception by the other members for them. It is working well, about 60-70% of the poeple that we give these
assignments to will come to church which is a great thing. Then with time they can have a calling, recieve the priesthood and
other things.
The training has been going well with Elder McDonald. He had the
oppurtunity to invite some people to be baptized and of the two, 1 said yes the other
no. He also had the oppurtunity to anoint for the
first time in spanish, so it was a very good week.
Well thanks for all the love and support, I hope that
everything is going well for you.
Love Elder Nelson
