RAIN RAIN RAIN, nothin' but RAIN

Santiago Chile Temple

                                               

It rained now three times this week that is almost the same amount of all last year!! It feels like it always raines when we are least prepared. And today it started raining so we went back to the house and got umbrellas...Stopped raining. Haha good times. This week we were really busy  we had three meetings and tomorrow we have another one with Elder Viñas form the 70 it will be really cool! We had two zone conferences and we had to set them all up. One was in Melipilla always like going back there. 

We set up some role plays with all the missionaries, we had half one day and half the other. But we focused on looking for the peoples needs of less active members. Almost always we hear that member is smoking so what do we do...we teach the Word of Wisdom. But they are all members! they already know. We want to know why and how we can help them. So we focused on using the Book of Mormon..as always. It is just the best tool we have. The Book of Mormon just simply has to be true it works to well. IT has all the answers. We just have to read it.

I was reading a talk this week that taught that God isnt always going to answer our questions personally because he has already answered the same questions in the scriptures so we just have to look for them.

I had a funny experience today...So i drove stick for the first time today through the center of Santiago.. it wasnt too bad I killed the car a few times. But we went to the local Grocery store and when we left we got cursed by some drunk guys. Always nice. Also when we were in melipilla we had to clean the church after the conference and an elder Put Mate(an herbal drink) down a sink and clogged it so we plunged for 20 minutes to clean it all up. It was a fun time!

But in the End The Church is True, Thomas s Monson is a prophet called of God and The book of Mormon is true too. I know we have to stand up for our beliefs and the truthes of the Gospel especially today when it is harder than ever. I know God will help us

Love you Mom and dad
