Happy Easter everyone! Hope you've had time to think about our Savior this past week and can continue to think of Him this upcoming week.
We had a pretty crazy week that was super awesome. We'll start off with the fact that our mission is now letting us use Uber to travel when we can use a bus or metro. The only downside is that it's super expensive, however the experience is super awesome. The first time we used it was on Tuesday to start intercambios and we had a great conversation with the driver about the gospel. And the best part is he can't get away, so for a whole 25 minutes this man just had to sit there and listen so I definitely took advantage of that. The interesting about this experience is that he wanted to listen, which I feel like is the case a lot of the time, most people want to hear about our lives you just got to share it with them. So don't be afraid to share who you are with other people.
Anyway, getting back to the week we had awesome intercambios with Elder Evans. (absolutely maquina of a missionary) we got some service done by cleaning out a chimney for a member, which was a new experience for me, and then found some more people to start teaching.
Then the next night we started more exchanges with the elders from Olmue Elder Petit and Elder Blake which also went well. I was with Elder Petit whose the medio baker. Made some fire chilean bread for dinner and some fire pancakes for a good breakfast. Then we got to work running from place to place like always.
Besides that the next awesome thing was Easter Sunday, the church did and awesome program to express the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and what's even better is that we had some friends there and a lot of members that are a little less active and it seems like they want to come back and grow their connection with God again which was awesome. After that we went over to Limache to sing at an old folks home and just talk to them which was super fun and kinda hilarious. The people there we super funny just telling us about their lives and then just being kind people. I even got to hear one of them sing to me their favorite song so we had a little dance party together.
Over all it was and awesome week to think about Jesus Christ and what He did for us, just finding hope that comes from His resurrection. I would invite you to study what he did for us and actually find the meaning of the atonement. To me it shows that we can overcome everything, from our hardest challenges to simply changing ourselves. We just have to go to Jesus, He has all the power and knows exactly what will help us progress we just need to go to him. I challenge you guys to look for a way to use the Savior's atonement in your lives, changing a part of who you are to be more like Jesus Christ.
Love you all
Elder Nelson
