Happy Easter and
the real birth of Jesus! What an awesome week. Well to answer
questions, basically everyone here watches it (conference) in the church in the stake
center that just happens to be our ward building! And there was a room
for English and for French (because Creole doesnt exist for translation)
for the Haitians! Yes, we watched all the sessions and for the time
change, we watched at 1,5, and priesthood session at 9 at night! Wow we
got home at like 11:20 because a member drove us. Otherwise we would
have been walking so long haha. And Elder Zeballos who talked from
Chile, is part of the South American South Area and he was with our
mission for the Christmas devotional and we all shook his hand :) haha
hes awesome.
But the
conference was soo awesome! They talked so much about Familes and the
Temple and missionaries/reciently returned missionaries. And there is
going to be a temple in HAITI!! There were like 5 hatians there watching
when they announced it and one who is a return missionary from Haiti
said that he is going to go back to Haiti to work on the temple and that
is all he wants. I wish you guys could meet some Hatians, They are here
in Chile looking for a better life because of the earthquake in 2010
and they are working all day long every day just to get on here, even
when they were doctors and laywers and accountants in their home
country. They have to learn spanish, when they all already know creole
and french, and most of them know english too. Its amazing, and their
country deserves a temple. We have one hatian investigator in the
conference! I dont know if i told you but when we teach anyone from
Haiti, we go with an ex missionary (other who served in Haiti and has
like 5 months in Chile) and he helps us teach in Creole. He has so much
faith, he talks with everyone and invites all the haitians he sees to
listen to us and to go to church. He is so awesome! We know so little of
their language but we still can feel the spirit in the lesson and we
know that they do too!
Well
this week we had Zone Conference too so there was a ton of conferences
and not a lot of time. But we learned a lot in the Conference with
Presidente Videla and Hermana Videla. This time here has flown, we are
already in the fifth week of the change..and two more weeks until the
visit of Elder....OAKS! We confirmed that it was him that is coming to
Chile so thats awesome.
I
love you all and miss you! I hope you are going to the temple and doing
everything the prophet has asked us too. My request from all of you now
is a picture of you and your husband/wife (if you have one, if not,
return missionaries, get married already lol) at the temple going for a
session! I know this is what the Lord wants us to do because He told us
through His prophets this weekend. Love all of you, que estén bien for
lack of words in english sorry.
Elder Farnsworth
And
pictures from random parts in the sector lol a sketchy road we decided
to walk to go to church instead of the normal way and Valle Lo Campino
Hill.
a few words he wrote to Curtis:
Conference
was awesome!! Wow it went by so fast i cant believe that it ended. I
feel like every session was 20 minutes. The prophet didnt talk a lot but
of well. There were a lot of good talks by Seventy members and
everything. Did you hear the people yell no against the sustaining of
the prophet? crazy but what can we do..
Cesar
and Carito are two recient converts that were baptised like just before
we got there. They are peruvian and we ate lunch with them that day
that you saw. It is a juice made with honeydew, not kiwi. It was the
first time i tried it. They are awesome, that family! and we are
teaching cesar´s sister now who came from Peru like 3 weeks ago!
