How is everyone doing this fine evening? I hope yall had a great Mothers Day and showed your mom how much you love her. And if not, well here's a reminder to go give her a big hug.
This week was super awesome, it was the last week of the transfers so we were trying to work as hard as we could to get ready for this upcoming transfer. We had high goals and high expectations. So the week over all was a success.
On Thursday we had intercambios with Limache, I got to go back again to my old sector and get cooking with my man Elder Evans. We had a lot of lessons fall through and there weren't too many people to talk to but we had some fire backup plans and ended up putting a baptismal date with someone who I taught in the past. That was a pretty cool miracle, now they just got to help keep him motivated to change his life and come to Christ.
But the best day of this week was definitely Sunday, and not just because we got to take the sacrament. On Sunday we had two baptisms, one of Max who is a 11 year old kid who in his first prayer we had in a lesson, asked to become a missionary one day. And what's even cooler about the baptism is that Simon, the recent convert, was able to do that baptism and use his preisthood authority. It was super cool to see his progress.
The other baptism is Jessica who is also super awesome, she was baptized and confirmed and then right after her confirmation she gave her testimony in front of everyone for why the church was so important to her. They were really good people. Can't wait to see what awaits them.
Overall that was the whole week so I'll end with a quick spiritual thought.
In the last conference Sister Tamara W. Runia gave a great talk and in the talked she showed an example about the difference between our obedience and our worth. The difference is that our obedience changes based on our actions, the good things we choose to do and the not so good things we choose to do. However no matter what decisions we choose, our worth stays the same. I love this thought because sometimes we are overly critical on ourselves. We need to realize that we have a divine potential and the worth of our soul is great in the sight of God. So yes we need to always be becoming better but before we can start making those small decisions to make us better we need to realize that we are children of God. He loves us and we have worth in his eyes no matter what.
Oh also this next transfer I'll be staying in Villa Alemana! Elder Rich will leave but I'll have a new comp named Elder Miner who's even blonder than I am. So we'll be definitely be a sight to see this transfer
Love you all!
Elder Nelson
