Hey Yall,
Well, I'm headin' on south to outskirt town of Curacautin. I'm going to be with a gringo that my current Companion, Elder Brann, was actually with about 4 months ago. Elder Brann Left Curanilahue to come to Camilo and was companions with Elder Thomas, my new companion. He moved to CuraCautin while we were working here in Camilo Olavarria. So, we're just doing a lot of switches between companions. Elder Brann and Elder Thomas both go home in February, so we'll see if I happen to kill Elder Thomas or not. Elder Thomas is from Texas originally.
So, with all those fun cambios happening, there's a whole lot more to write because we had a very special weekend where God's hand was definitely present. First and foremost, Millaray got baptized on Saturday. It was a miracle if I've ever seen one. It was like a story you would hear in the Ensign. Millaray has been sick recently, so we were really trying to hard to get the water heater to work in the chapel for the font. The branch president went over the morning of the baptism and called us to tell us that the font was working with warm water and everything was fine. When Elder Brann and I got there at about 10, there was a note from the power company outside saying they were doing maintenance and we would be without power between 9:30 in the morning until about 4:30 in the afternoon. Of course the baptism started at 4. Even better, the water heater wasn't working when we got there.
Despite this, we went to lunch and came back to the chapel afterward to find ourselves without power still. Elder Brann suggested we say a prayer before turning on the font to fill it. I thought, "Ok, I'll appease Elder Brann, but it's not going to work." Well, God has a way of telling us we're wrong. We prayed for hot water and turned on the font. It came out cold for about 2 seconds before coming out steaming hot (without power in the building). It was hotter than any baptismal water I've ever seen or touched. It was definitely a miracle for everyone that day. :) Millaray was very happy and it was a great experience for her entire family.
Yesterday and today we're saying goodbye to everyone and it's really hard to say goodbye to people you don't really think about leaving. I've been here in Camilo for almost 6 months and I never thought about leaving until this week. The photos are of people here in Camilo we've grown really close to. The one where I'm holding a puppy is one with Millaray, the girl who got baptized. :)
So, we're having a lot of changes and lots of challenges, but we're learning lots and taking life on now, because we never know if tomorrow will come. :)
