This has been a great week and a fast one. It's been weird, we've been doing so much that the week passes by insanely fast been when I look back at what we did on Monday it feels so long ago. But yeah overall we're find joy in the work and that's the most important so we'll say I'm content.
Throughout the week were were able to have a few awesome experiences, first off on martes we had consejo de Líderes so we all got together in the mission home to talk about how we're going to be able to change the mission. And we always get the best burgers during the council so that's a highlight.
Then were hit it hard in the week with exchanges with my comp from Villa Alemana, Elder Rich, and zone líder from Quillota, Elder Christensen. It was fun to catch up with them for a but.
We are also teaching a few awesome people in Las Torres, some of them are from a family and they came to play soccer with us and loved it. Their grandma is a member and seems like they are interested in progressing so ve praying for that family.
We also have another friend named Jessica and Vicente. Jessica is the Grandma and Vicente is the the Grandson. At first the family didn't want to meet with us but the grandson went crazy and convinced them to open the door. Overall we've been seeing progress little by little but they love listening. The Grandma rejected coming to church before we even got around to inviting her to come so that was a downer. However in said lesson we had a crazy member with us who took hold of the conversation and ended it of convincing her to take a tour of the church. So because of that we got the progress going again so prayers up for them too.
It's been a great experience being here on the mission and the spiritual thought I wanted to share with you come from what I have learned while being here. There's been a lot of ups and downs here on the mission, most the time I haven't been able to control what happened in the mission. But I've been able to see a difference in my attitude during these times. My joy didn't depend on the up and downs, my journey depended on how consecrated I was to the work when the ups and downs came. I've been able to recognize this and now I have slowly been able to find more and more joy even when it's hard. I invite you guys to consecrate yourself to God, as you do you'll find purpose and joy in your life. Something that you won't be able to find in any other place.
I love you all demasiado and hope you have a great week
Elder Nelson
