We had
the wonderful opportunity to visit the Santiago Temple this past Wednesday. We
went with Natalia and a newish Brother from the ward, Patricio. Twas´ sublime.
The temple is 30ish minutes away from us, and we actually had a few
difficulites in arriving, with respect to the car we took, capacity IN the car,
time, etc. Natalia had a few doubts last minute about being baptized again for
dead people, we might have been able to do a better job in explaining the
concept beforehand.
Kyle
wasn´t able to come because, again, he didn´t make it to church, therefore he
was left without a recomend. He also got in trouble at school that day,
therefore, on the way to the temple, we had to take a little detour and pick
him up. (Side note- Chilean schools, look a little too much like prisons;)
Everyone has these wonderful gray uniforms, and the walls are grey as well.
There´s barbed wire on top, ha). But in the end, we made it ok.
The
spirit in the temple itself was amazing. We arrived, and in just the parking
lot we could notice a difference. We walked around the grounds a little, and
then entered, and had the opportunity to do a few baptisms. We will be able to
go back the 30th to do endowments:)))
As read
in 2 Nephi 2:11, there is an opposicion in everything. Just before we go to the
temple, or just after, Satan WILL send trials, trying to prevent us from having
those experiences.
Are we
not so grateful for the blessings of the temple?!
Today our
Zone Leader, Elder Glade made some very delicious Chili, and Chili dogs. We´re going to
go eat it now.
THE
PACKAGE!!!!
Yes. It
totally came. Funny story. It smelled of Essential Oils, but I couldn´t find them, because
until this last week, I hadn´t opened up them good ol´ thermy therms. So I
thought that the Chileans had opened up the package, and had STOLEN THEM! The
horror! I didn´t want to say anything to you because I thought you´d be sad,
ha. But no, I found them, they are wonderful. Super
efficient to take. Wah cha!
So I suppose I learned a good lesson, to
not judge, even when the situation suggests something fisshhhyyy. I love them
Chileans. 3 Nephi 14:1-4.
Pray
about what God wants you to do with your life. It´s actually in reality pretty
easy and simple. Keep being awesome, and share the gospel every every
every day. It´s definitely something that challenges us. And prepare to serve a
spectacular mission! But ask God questions, yes or no, how, why, what, etc.
questions. 3 Nephi 27:29. And then do your homework!
Keep
Kyle, Natalia, the Rios family, the Henriquez family, Paula, Karina, and Manuel
in your prayers! And the whole wide world;)
I know
that we have a loving Heavenly Father. He knows our heart. His son is the Lord,
and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is his church. The Holy Ghost bears testimony of
them. I know that the prophet Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus, and began the
Restoration, and translated the BOM. We have a very wonderful prophet, Thomas
S. Monson today.
With
love,
Elder
Tasso
