Elder Duffin called me this morning to let me know he is going to be training. Sorry just super pumped about that. I’m a grandpa Anywho so this week was super good though had a couple stuff go down. So we started off the week we did an activity in our plaza here in Loncoche we put up a whiteboard and a poster and asked the people “How do you show your love to your family" and had people write their answers on these little hearts we had cut out. It was cool talked to lots of people and we got some good people out of it. Fun little activities to get our name out there a little more.
Saturday we had our zone conference and had some good training stuff. But right after i made pancakes for the zone as a way of saying goodbye to those who are leaving. They turned out alright. Nothing great out of this world but alright. Only had one guy die in our zone this cambio Elder Espitia from Columbia/spain. He was born in Columbia but at like 12 he moved to Spain. But real nice guy helped the zone out a lot. But he is also tiny hence the photo in the bucket.
Then after the conference we had to help a family move from their house to another one close by. Actually we are in process to find them a new house so we can get the house they are in now because it is like a perfect mission house. But that is on the backburner for now. So we went, ate lunch, ate a lot and helped move the big stuff right? So we are moving the refrigerador when they call us over and they had also made an asado! Oh my gosh so much food but it was so good. Had 2 plates of spaghetti for lunch then an asado. Great way to start a fast in my opinion. But so we ate again and kept moving stuff. So that took up like a ton of time with all the food and the couches and big freezer they have. But it was good. Then we went to visit a couple investigadores and that was the day really. Sunday was super dope so saturday we had taught this old lady and her granddaughter about tithing and fast offerings and committed them to pay after their baptism like normal but on sunday the old grandma who is 92 just came with some money and payed her tithing. So that was like awesomely super dope. Probably the coolest thing that happened to me during church. So after church we had our branch council which...well we showed up so that was good. Like noone was there. Super funny. But that is kind of our life here in small branches. So sunday night we were walking and just kind of contacting until we had to go back all our of appointments had fallen. So we were contacting and we went to this street we had contacted like a week before so we started to turn around when i got this hard ugly feeling in my gut so i was like no we are contacting here. So i felt better when we started contacting and we yelled at the gate and heard a guy yell come on in. So we started walking in and there is this guy working so we presented ourselves said what were are doing and promised blessings. He said come in and we walked into this woodshop.
This guy makes the most beautiful things i have ever seen in my life from wood. He starts telling us all these stories of stuff he has made and i am flabbergasted. It was so amazing. Turns out he had made a tree of life scene for a mission president in Osorno and has 2 kids that are members of the church. Super awesome very spiritual man very deep spirit. So that was super dope.
So i realized sunday I haven’t shared my testimony with yall lately. So i know more than anything else that God loves us and he takes care of us all the time. That he has never, will never and is not abandoning us. He is always by our side and showers us with his love at all times and in all places. He loves us so much. I know Jesus suffered everything for us to let us be here and enjoy what we enjoy. I know that when one repents of our sins we can feel better and cleaner than we have ever felt. I love the Savior. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and helps us draw closer to him. I have seen miracles come to pass because of the power behind this book and the restored priesthood. I love the scriptures and how i feel when I read.
I love yall
Elder Galbreath
