Hey Y'all,
Kind of Slow week in the Missionary work this week. As Elder May and I have talked about, we thought this week was going to be awesome when it started out. As is customary here in our mission, every week at the start of a cambio (This week) we do a "week of sanctification", meaning we do something extreme to give a boost to the missionary work. This week we had the challenge to enter the homes of 25 people and to start teaching 5 families of 3 people or more. We thought we did pretty well here when every day we found 2 or 3 people that seemed interested in the gospel and we committed them to coming to church. We even found 2 or 3 families, one of which was awesome! It was the family of an inactive member who stopped going to church just because of work. We taught his wife and kids and they seemed really excited to attend church. The week went like that until yesterday when we arrived at church and not one of the people we had talked to came to church. After that, we just had a long day. It was raining really hard, which I usually enjoy, but yesterday it was hard. We did find one more family that could possibly come with us next week, so that's what we're focusing on here in Camilo.
There is one new elder in the House with us, Elder Gonzalez from Colombia. He´s about to finish up his mission, too. So Elder Rossi just works with all kinds of old missionaries. Elder Gonzalez was nice enough to clean out our fridge, which is the photo that may or may not come with this email. He´s a cool guy, very forceful and direct. We´ll see how this cambio goes.
We are very excited that Lily, one of our Investigators, is getting closer and closer to baptism and motherhood! :) She and Hugo Casares are getting married the first week of August and we´re hoping to have a baptismal service for her on the Saturday afterward.
That's the week here in Chile! Hope you're all reading the Book of Mormon 10 minutes a day!
