Amengual

Have you every thought about the worth of a human soul....? 

Hahah my email actually has nothing to do with that little quote but that was something president monson said to start one of his conference talks as an apostle a long time ago... and I thought it was quite the attention grabber.. so now that I have your attention let me tell you a little bit about this week.

Things are just hoppin here in Santiago. We are meeting so many awesome people from so many different places. From Haiti from the Domincana from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and even some chilenos here and there! We even saw some miracles and some people showed up to church all by themselves without being invited! We have been teaching a lady from venezuela (lady is kinda an overstatement because she is 20) but her husband is a member and she will be getting baptized this weekend! The best part is that here husband Javier will baptize her. I can't remember where exactly Uncle Everett served but ask him for me because all the venezuelans want to know! Who knows maybe he baptized their parents or something! 

We are also teacing another guy that is named Hector Mejia. He is from colombia he is way cool. This week we taught him about the book of mormon and answeed a lot of his doubts and helped him understand why he needs to get baptized. He has started to play soccer on roller skates in the night time... so that sounds really difficult! And he told us that he was also going to go check out some trampoline place that sounds like airborne haha he is 30 years old and really put together actually but come on.. everybody loves trampolines right??

A colombian couple also showed up to church alone and we were able to get to know them and teach them a little bit! Jose y Mariluz. jose is a member from colombia but has been a little bit inactive but they decided they needed to start to go to church again so we are teaching his girlfriend and she is way awesome. She even goes to church when jose cant because he is working!

We also had a little bit of a surprise this week because our Zone leader friend Elder Southam finished his mission and went home so his companion was left all alone. But now I am his new companion and we will be in trio until the end of the transfer while I finish training Elder Manrique. So now our sector is giant. but it will be fun! A few crazy weeks but all is well in zion.

I hope all is well back in the bury!
