Sorry for not writing yesterday. We had a Holiday here in Chile for one of the saints and the Library (Where we get to write for free!) was closed so we had to wait an extra day to write. This week has been pretty cool. We did drop a lot of our investigators who weren’t progressing and we felt would continue to not progress, and we’ve already found a few new investigators who are amazing and very close to gold, but a quick word about one of our older investigators. Joaquin who is 17 finally prayed, and he now believes in God, which is a huge step in the right direction. He never got around to it which I honestly understand, my prayers up until my mission kind of sucked and it’s because I never felt the need to really put effort into it, I just did it because I was supposed to.
By the way I had some really cool experiences with prayers being answered this week. On Tuesday we had an intercambio with our sister missionary training leaders, and I haven’t been sleeping really well the last few weeks, and my feet have been really cold even though I use 3 blankets and a fleece sleeping bag, so I decided to ask that me and my companion for the day as well as my trainer and her companion could all sleep well and be warm. Lo and behold it came to pass that we all slept well except for hnas. Aros and Steed who were in the next room over (who I sadly forgot to pray for ): who were freezing that night. The other thing happened on Thursday. We found a new investigator who’s name is Danitsa and I’ve never heard that name before and for some reason could not remember it so I asked my companion like three times to remind me what it was. Then when I was praying I was trying to mention all of the investigators from that day and again I couldn’t remember so I was like ok well God you know who I’m thinking of and was about to continue when I had this crazy idea. God gives knowledge unto those that ask especially if it’s for a good cause. I figured since she´s an investigator I should remember her name and that would help the work of the Lord so I asked him to help me remember the name. He did because I paused for about 2 seconds just listening knowing with all my heart and faith that he would answer and her name came clearly into my mind. It was flippin legit. So please use faith when you pray because he is listening as long as you actually talk to him and believe and listen he will answer.
