first
off my new comp among his many nicknames is known as "the most
interesting missionary in the world". We also call him Ryan Reynolds
sometimes, and the Ukranian Hammer. Hes a boss. His name is Elder
Rogerson, but his official name when he was born was Constantine
Alexandervich Dovjenko. Hahaha. Sick right? he was found in a Ukranian
manufacturing plant and adopted by his parents that he now has. He`s
live in over 20 countries and is the most diverse person ive ever met.
what a guy! just when i feel like im getting to know the guy, I DONT
KNOW ANYTHING. were gonna finish these six weeks and im gonna look back
and realized i know less about Elder Rogerson than i did at the
beginning when i met him. The MOST interesting. really though im happy
hes my comp and hes doing a really good job in the office. he learns
really fast and loves the Lord.
We havent even
gone up to our sector this week, ill stay one more change here in
forestal alto, but regardless, its been a fantastic time. we welcomed
the new couple missionaries, the Gould`s who are working with us in teh
office. theyre tight. on Monday
we had teh last dinner for those going home which was amazing and i
said goodbye to a lot of good friends, and two of my best companions,
Elder Swindler from Coquimbo, and Elder Larsen from the office. Really
good group of missionaries. On Tuesday
we got up at about 4 after having gone to bed at about 2, and headed to
santiago. We welcomed the new missionaries with a presentation we had
to come up with in about 15 min, but it turned out well, and then we had
tuesday and wednesday to be with them in the mission home and do a lot of stuff, all accompanied by amazing food by Hermana Dìaz. it was solid!
Thursday was our only day to prepare everything in teh office and all of the stuff for mission council on friday! we got it done pretty late again and thursday
night me and elder rogerson picked up elder frampton, and elder horton
from the bus terminal to stay with us for the night. it was a good time,
and of course we got our traditional màte in!
Were
starting to cool things down and this next week should be a normal
week. Catalina didnt come to church last week becasue it was raining, so
and the Relief society president just didnt pass by her house to get
her liek we had planned out. Frustrating stuff. Its all cool though.
This week shes coming and shes gonna keep progressing. We had an amazing
lesson with our Elders quorum president that went with us last week and
he got in and just starting talking about soccer and chilean stuff with
the dad, then he got the mom involved too and really helped us to open
the family up and share with us. theyre gonna progress i know it!!!
Jacob
from the Castillo family emailed me this week and told me that hes been
going through the temple classes with his wife he got married to about a
year ago... AND IN AUGUST THEY`RE GETTING SEALED!!!!! I LOVE THEM SO
MUCH! i was so pumped to hear about it, im gonna do everything i can to
talk President in to letting me go for it!!! theyve come so far, and im
so happy for them. the gospel is the key to happiness, never been more
sure of it in my life. spiritual barriers and limits can be broken when
we start trying to make good actions, become good habits. I know God and
Christ live. this is they`re church. i love the mission, ive never been
happier, nor felt the spirit so strong in my life as when i see
somebody in the process of conversion. and
are led to believe the holy scriptures, yea, the prophecies of the holy
prophets, which are written, which leadeth them to faith on the Lord,
and unto repentance, which faith and repentance bringeth a change of heart unto them—Helaman 15:7...
ive felt a change of heart in multiple ways and i dont ever want it to end. Have a great week yall, love you.
