Earthquake!!! That was the talk of the town here in Chile for this week! While on a split with a missionary from my zone... we entered a poorly built house as we successfully completed a house contact. The lady let us in and we started to talk.. the Lady was very firm from the get go that "I was born Catholic and I will die catholic". okay. So we started to teach this sweet lady, not very open, but still sweet. As it was my turn to teach I began to speak about Joseph Smith and the restoration... I said " So this boy Joseph Smith went to a grove of trees, knelt down, and for the first time said a prayer out loud"... And right as I said that, the walls of the house began to shake intensely! She jumped up off the couch and said "Run". We followed her outside so we wouldn't have this house fall on our darn heads! Their full sized truck that they had out back was getting rocked so hard it looked like it was dancing "The Jerk".. for a good 40 seconds the earthquake lasted. It was wicked! After that we gathered back in the house.. and the lady was like " I don't know if god sends signs, but if he does, I think I will take that one as a yes. I will go to church with you next week" ... I thought that was quick the Hoot!
Every thing is going really well... I have been really really bad about writing lately so forgive me on that one!
2 years ago this week I broke my little leg... remember I was skiing and I tried a triple backflip but I landed wrong.. shoot it was a rough one! Yeah so that was a big date to reach... not gonna lie I thought I was going to die after I broke it so its nice to know after two years I'm still breathing!
I love how the Lord works. The way he functions. And in all honestly he is so sly sometimes. For example, we were trying to contact a less active that we contacted in the street last week. The guy said he had family members that weren't baptised... Sweet right. So long story short.. the houses in that area are on a huge hill that you have to hike up to, so we hiked to the "house" that we thought it was. we knock. Some random girl full of tattoos and piercings answers the door.. (oops wrong house) and we play it cool by just doing a normal contact. She let us in... and lets just say this lady went to Church with us Sunday and has already received an answer from God that our Church is true. Yeah id like you to tell me that the Lord doesn't permit miracles to happen with his children.. Cause we can prove otherwise. I love you all... over and out!
