This week we had transfers, I´m now with Elder Rosado from Ecuador. He´s pretty chill, and we´ve been working pretty effectively together so that´s good.
This weekend was pretty great for us. On Friday we got a call from the assistants about somebody from our sector who was looking for the missionaries and the closest church to them. So we called them and went to visit them and they´re awesome. They´re Venezuelans that moved to Chile a couple of weeks ago because everything is going really bad in Venezuela. But they´d been looking for the church ever since they arrived because one of them was baptized as a teenager but left the church for family conflicts. But they had found missionaries when they were in Concepción in the south of Chile and sent their address, then they went looking in valparaíso for a church building but it was closed because it was Saturday and no one was there, then they found the mission office and talked with Elder Gutierrez (who also served in my area, so he knew where they lived) and finally we met them. We found it hilarious because they´d been searching for so long, and it ends up that we live in the same apartment complex hahaha, and there´s a church just up the hill hahaha.
So we taught Viviana and her son Victor and committed them to be baptized and they were really excited and said that they want us to teach the rest of their family living there with them too, so the next day we returned and taught their cousin, German(He´s the member) and their friend Anderson. The lessons were great. We committed Anderson to be baptized as well. And they almost all of them came to church yesterday! Viviana had to work, unfortunately, but she´s already looking to change to be able to go to church. And then in the nighttime, we were able to go with them to a Christmas concert in Viña! It was a pretty crazy weekend.
But anyway, that´s all I´ve got to say,
I hope you´re all doing well!
