Hey guys! Another week.
Well, since we don’t have much time in the cyber I’ll summarize
the best I can.
The week was good. We saw some great things. First off I’ll tell
you about the progress in our work.
So this week we found many people, but the two that in our eyes
are going to progress the most are a young man named Francisco, and a lady
named Maria who owns a little shop.
So, one of the best families here is the Castillo family. The
moms name is Rosa and she is super active in the church. Their son John Franco
is 16 and their daughter Giovanna is in her early twenties. The husband, I
can’t remember his name, is 46 years old. They are awesome and are always
helping us out. This week John Franco brought one of his friends over. That
friend was Francisco. A long time ago he was sharing with missionaries, but he
never got baptized. He is 15 years old and very catholic. He doesn’t believe
too much in the church but he has some strong beliefs in God and wants to find
the true church of God. Sounds pretty great right? Since we can’t baptize youth
under 16 without careful supervision and permission, we are coordinating well
with President Arrington and we are going to have to take some extra time to
get him baptized. But it will all be worth the good work. We hope that he
continues to be receptive. We shared with him twice this week and both were
good visits. We are excited to have a good investigator.
Yesterday, Sunday, we went out for the whole afternoon to go and
work with one of the returned missionaries in the ward. His name is Nicolas, or
Nico, for short. We killed it yesterday, we had 2 other lessons and 2 lessons
with members finding 5 new investigators and getting all of our contacts. Two
of those new investigators seemed really cool and we are excited to be working
with them this week. Their names are Juana, and Alejandra. Good stuff is on the
horizon.
We as missionaries here in Concepcion are having a good time. We
are laughing and having a great time. There are plenty of inside jokes already
and we are becoming good friends. This week I taught all of the other elders
how to solve a rubik’s cube and we are close to writing a song for Christmas.
This week on Thursday on thanksgiving we had an
awesome zone class. We had a special announcement and that was the new
worldwide initiative of ‘’He is the Gift.’’ I hope that you guys have heard all
about this but here are some links if you do not know what is going on.
We had a great presentation. And we are challenged to send this
initiative to everyone!! We have tons of pass along cards and we are going to
be giving our all to share those and the video that came out. I would like to
invite all of you if you haven’t seen the new video that you can all see it.
Day by day into this next and special month we can reflect more on the savior
than ever before. He is the gift!!
We have some awesome activities planned for this. We are
going to be doing a public booth presentation as a zone; we will be doing a big
Chapel presentation and putting posters up around the city. It’s going to be
quite the time for us.
Alrighty guys, that’s about it for this week. I feel bad that I
can’t get too much out there. But that’s all the time I’ve got. I love you all
so much. I miss you tons especially in this wonderful season. Thank you for all
that you do. Until next week.
Elder Ethan Haws
