| My companion showing off all our healthy food! |
So it's super hot right now in Chile and everyone here seems to not
like it, but I love it. Maybe I just like the smell of sunscreen in
February, who knows. Also I still haven't gotten sick, just to let you
know.
So this week was super slow at the beginning, not many people were
available for lessons, and no one was really receptive. It was kind of
discouraging for a bit and one of the days our shower had to get tiled
and then we finished building the roof on a lady's home, so we literally only had an hour
of proselyting time, which was really frustrating. Fortunately, the end
of the week ended perfectly! Jorge came to church (to our surprise) we
thought he was going to be too sick, but in the middle of sacrament
meeting we saw him limp on in! Then later on that Sunday
we just started finding a bunch of really awesome people.

| Playing soccer on p-day |
We found a
Peruvian family that was super receptive and I'm excited to teach them. We
brought their 16 year old son out to play soccer today and he's super
nice! We found another couple who had been inactive for the past 6
months but really wants to come back to church! Then we found a
couple who was also really receptive and we talked to them at the door
for about an hour! The next day we had 6 lessons and they were all super
awesome! One was with a guy we found at the Family Home Evening we put
on and that lesson was crazy. He told us he had a dream in which we were
in it and the word Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ kept
coming up somehow. Then when we prayed with him he told us he recognized
that way of praying from his dream too. He was super nice and I can't
wait to teach him again. We also found a super receptive lady who
actually lived in the states for a while and has family who live in Utah
right now. We also got to teach an old lady (95 years old) who's a
member, but too old to come to church. It was a awesome past couple days
with new opportunities popping up everywhere. I'm really excited and I
can't wait to get to know these people better!
Love,
Elder Birrell
