hey guys!!
sorry i didn't get your letter last week nino...
we were just getting ready to leave when i got it in my inbox but
thanks for the email addresses! glad to hear that thanksgiving was a
success and good luck with the christmas tree problem ha.
this
week was kind of slow, nothing crazy happened, but it was still a good
week. elder munoz and i are getting used to each other now and i think
we are going to be good friends by the end of this companionship. he is from
houston texas, has a year and a half on the mission, has 7 brothers and
sisters, his dad is from columbia, and his mom from argentina, but since
he was born in the states, he is a gringo mix, he looks super latino
but is a gringo ha. he didnt speak any spanish at home before the
mission, so when i first saw him i thought he was puro latino and it was
super surprising to hear him speak in perfect english
! its good though, he helps me correct my espanol but we mostly talk
english at home and when were joking around. hes a good worker and
teacher and i'm looking forward to learning from him.
this
week one of our baptismal dates, marcela peralta fell through because
she didnt make it to church, but we invited our other two investigators
to be baptized on the 4th de enero. im hoping it will be my late
christmas present. we also found two more people yesterday that were
really interested in the restoration and we showed them the video he is
the gift and it was a really good lesson. their names are eric and
mario. mario is erics dad and they both work in the mine in rancagua so
it will be a little difficult to have a lot of time to teach them, but
well see what happens.
church this sunday was a
good experience this week. it was testimony meeting and all of us
elders bore our testimonies and after, literally almost all of the
members shared theirs too. sacrament meeting went over almost 30 minutes
because of the testimonies and it was awesome to hear the members share
how they know this church is true. i bore my testimony about the book
of mormon and how i know it is true. i know the book of mormon is
literally the word of god. it was written by prophets of old and
translate b
y joseph smith through the power of the priesthood. the book of mormon
is more than just a bunch of cool stories from a long time ago. it is a
real account of real history and real people and prophets and their
testimonies of a true and living jesus christ. i know that el libro de
mormon is the most correct book here on the earth and that it contains
the fullness of the restored gospel. read, study, pray about and feast
on the book of mormon everyday and see all the blessings you will
recieve. i promise and testify that the book of mormon is ture and i
love that book. i love reading it everyday and i love seeing the
blessings that come from studying it.
i love
you guys so much and hope you all have a great week this week. good luck
with the new contract dad, congrats on the dump truck! be safe and do
good this week guys. love you niño, work hard in school, help mom and
dad all you can, and know that i love my little brother! love you guys!!
talk to you next week!
con mucho amor,
elder pacheco
