Hello,
Everyone!
It’s been a fun week!
H. passed his baptismal interview at the last second and got baptized (in a
freezing font in the middle of a huge rainstorm) then confirmed in the
sacrament meeting the next day. So that was the highlight of the week. Super
great guy, really happy for him.
Other than that, we
are seeing some problems in the zone for stupid stuff—it’s good, though,
because it’s all stuff that Elder G. and I are getting over lately so now we
can totally testify from heart how to do it. It’s great. Just nitpicky stuff
about people wanting more cleanliness in the house and others doing nothing (I
know how this one goes all too well), as well as just some general unkindness,
pride, and just some missionaries feeling bad about not having the success they
are wanting. The good thing is tomorrow,
being the first Tuesday of the month, we are going to have the chance to teach a classic
zone class; we have a lot of great ideas-- this is going to be a classic.
We taught a great lesson
the other night to R. and E. We were teaching about marriage and charity to get
these chambones married at some point but still nothing going on, and they are
still bickering constantly to us. They talked at us for like ten minutes
straight, just pure complaints about ‘she does this,’ ‘he does that,’ and then
an idea came to me. Revelation. We cut it, and I was like, look, now we are
going to go in a circle and say one thing we LOVE about our comp. I started,
went in a circle, they got all quiet, awkward, and then we went around the second
time, and then told them that’s what they need to do and peaced out. But
hopefully we finally see some progress with that marriage. I really just want
them to be members--they are so great, and so ready. I feel like if for no
other reason, I needed to be in Chiguayante for them, and their two small
future missionary boys.
Today we had our
leadership council again, and then played paintball after! It was fun, even the
mission presidente and his wife played! Neat stuff. I imagine it’s even more
fun when all the equipment is good and stuff and no one cheats but whatever.
We are having fun and
growing in the zone! SOOOOOO pumped for General Conference this weekend! And Priesthood
session! We are going to bring all of Chiguayante to hear the prophets voice.
Love you all!
Elder Brown
