Hunter Mission October 22-28 2024

 Another fantastic week has come and gone and we are still cooking over here in Quillota 

We started this week out with a District Council where we decided to make this week a competition. So every day one of the sectors make a challenge and score points and whoever has the least amount of points has to make breakfast tomorrow. As of right now we are last

and we have one more day to score points, so pray for us 

This week over all wasn't too eventful, but we were able to get some lessons in which was good. We have a lot of reciente converts in the ward, so a lot of the time was trying to help them out and share more about the gospel. Thats one of our main objectives while we're here

I also might have a heart attack at the end of the next two years. There's this thing here called completos and it's literally a slice of heaven. Just imagine a hot dog but better. Then make it 3 times bigger and you got yourself a completo. Anyway this last week we had 3 days where the members couldn't have us over, so they gave us a few bucks each and the only place here to eat is a completo shop called Donde el Mono. So we ate about 2 pounds of completos 3 days this week and I definitely might developed a heart condition but that can't stop me, they're too good. 

We also had exchanges this past week and it was definitely a interesting experience. Usually we'll schedule a bunch of stuff throughout the day and about half off it will fall through, but we'll at least get a few contacts in enough to fill up our day. But this day there wasn't a soul in sight. It seemed like a ghost town and in about 30 mins we had gone to all 20 of our friends housea, all 10 of our active member in our area and 10 people that used to be in teaching and not a single person opened there door. So with about 6 hours left to work, we had to get creative with what we were going to do. So after a little bit of thinking we found the only living people in sight, 2 dudes playing ping pong. So we asked them if we could share a quick message with them about Jesus and they turned us down. Then we thought of a even better idea which was to challenge them to a ping pong game to 20 points. If the gringos won, they had to listen to our message, if they won we would scaddadle on out of there. Anyway long story short we smoked them 20-12 and had a great lesson about 30 mins long (would've been 5 if they just let as share in the first place) they invited us to come back anytime and challenge them again. So we might be playing some ping pong this week and spreading the gospel.

Anyway, those were the main things that happened this week a quick spiritual thought from something that I've learned this week, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that we have the fullness of the gospel and that is true, but that doesn't mean life will be easy. We have a few inactive members here that expect life to be perfectly easy because they kept their covenants and the commandments and they then decide to tell God exactly how to bless them. The thing with this is God knows exactly how to bless us in the best way for our progression, which does not necessarily mean that we will have a comfortable life. Being comfortable means that this progression has stopped and that is something God will never want. So just keep looking for the ways that each one of your unique trials has blessed your lives then continue pressing forward with faith in Christ. 

Love you all! Let me know if you need anything. Hope life's been good!
