It has been a crazy week this week, I don't even remember the half of it, but imma try to tell the story.
I had an awesome intercambio with Elder Evans this past week and I got to go back to Limache for the last time. We worked hard and I was able to see some of the first members that I got to know on the mission. Then we worked in the rain a little bit, the shoes weren't built for it, but a little water never hurt anyone. A little about the culture here, when it rain everyone shuts down and no one will let you into their house. They just tell you to go back to the house. So we got a little wet but it was fun.
We also had the opportunity to meet with the apostle Elder Stevenson on Thursday, it was super awesome to hear from him. Definitely a wise dude that has had his own experience with the Spirit. Just listening to him made me want to start working. Definitely an experience I'm not going to forget.
On Sunday we were able to have the baptism of Alvaro, so thank you all for the prayers. Oh also Maria y Marcelo now have a baptismal date! The power of your prayers is real. Sunday was a super awesome experience and it was my last day with Elder Miner so it was a sad and good day. That night we received transfer news and turns out that not only is Elder Miner going home tto the states, but I will also be leaving the sector to head of the city of Viña del Mar (Hunter was made Assistant to the President). It's gonna be a fun one for sure, just keep praying for the friends here in Villa Alemana, so that the new elders can help them out.
Really quickly I wanted to share a spiritual thought that is based around what it really means to be diligent. In Preach My Gospel, the book we have to help us be better missionaries, it talks about what dilligence is and a part of it is the good things that we decide to do without someone telling us to do it. When we truly love the Lord, we will look for ways to serve him better. We will look for ways to serve his children more. And that's how we can be diligent out love for God. And the promise is that God will give rest unto our souls. So look for ways to serve God by serving his children and he will bless you.
I love you all and hope you have a great week
Elder Nelson (Hunter)
