October 14, 2013 This Week!

Marcos! We had a great lesson with Marcos, our haircutting ninja (cut my hair, DURING the lesson, pretty sweet:) ) investigator. He acepts the BoM super easily, and is getting to know more! Today on the phone he said Ï´ve felt your prayers!¨ Which we owe to the ward! The Ward is praying for him and our other investigatores by name! He´s got 2 kids, is a recovering alcholic, dresses like a g, and is a child of God. I know that our heavenly father hears and answeres our prayers, they are FELT!

¨Second, pray for the missionaries serving in your area and their investigators by name every day. The only way to do this is to greet them, look at their badge, call them by name, and ask them who they are teaching. Elder Russell M. Nelson wisely contributed, “Until you know a person’s name and face, the Lord cannot help you know his or her heart.”

Daniel, Fransico y Giovanni! So Genesis was going to be confirmed, BUT she was a little sick. We didn´t know that, we thought that she was just..... slow, ha. So we left the ¨99 and went to look for the 1,¨ so to speak, leaving sunday school. As we´re leaving the chapel, a new friend of ours from Spain called our attentioin, ¨Fransisco.¨ He lifted his arms up right in front of the fence, so we thought, hey this guy needs a church tour! He accepts, and sitting in the chapel, we ask him ¨how do you feel here, in this envirnment?¨ ¨Super peaceful! I work in a car assembly factory, I love it here, it´s very calm.¨ 

Giovanni, from Coloumbia came to church Sunday after filing some paper work, looking for work. His mom was a missionary, but he was never baptized nor taught many things, he fears death and doesn´t understand why he´s still on this earth, but carries a BIG smile and it was a rare moment that he stopped talking, ha!:) After he came to church, we invited him to eat lunch with us at the home of Daniel Sanhueza, one of our investigatores homes. What a miracle it was, as he works in construction and one of the brothers there has a company! ¨you need work, know how to weld, mig, tik, and arc? ¨Oh si si si señor!!..........¨  I testify that as we put the sabbath day 1st, just as it happened with Giovanni, we will see miracles. 

Carlos! We had one good lesson with Carlos. We broke down a wall with a sledge hammer, and put in a new door. That is to say, Elder Hasler and Carlos and I did it, I cut fruit in the kitchen:) There wasn´t much more room:(  After, we shared with him and invited him to churhc. he said ¨I know the BoM is true, it´s good so how could it not be?! I want to be baptized, but I feel like I need more.... desire! Time!¨ Any advice to help our good friend Carlos recognize his answer, and makehis decision?!  

Say thanks and Hi to Lon Lott for me! He told me once i was a hard worker, that first time I was working with him on a project, first starting. It was hard, but GOOD! 

It´s Elder Hasler´s b-day today. We ate big hotdogs with the zone! 

The atonement heals our wounded souls, as it is mine, yours, and those above! This is the Church of Christ on the earth!  18 Come now, and let us ^areason together, saith the Lord: though your ^bsins be as scarlet, they shall be as ^cwhite as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Elder Tasso
