Hello friends and family!
Well this week has been good. We are really excited for this next
week. We should have another 3 baptisms. We have a mini cambio tomorrow
and our DL will do the interviews.
This last week
we had a mini cambio for 2 days. I was just about done after the two
days. The sector I was in was really boring. I didn`t like it at all.
Their Investigators were really weird and my DL is really awkward.
We are really excited because Juan and Claudia are
going to have their interview tomorrow and they are really excited. We
are also hoping to baptize Evelyn this week end. We found out she is not
a member and will need to be baptized.
This week We had a family night with Juan and Claudia
and their mom. You will all be surprised but I actually played the
ukulele and we all sang I am a Child of God in Spanish. It was pretty
cool. We had a fun time with them playing a weird game my comp taught us
and eating potato chips and Cheetos.
Yesterday we were sitting in church and the Stake
president came in. Next thing we know our president is released and we
have a new Branch Pres. Our New BP is a missionary that has been home
for 2 months. We were really excited because he has still got a little
motivation to help with missionary work. Yesterday him and the other RM
did divisions with us and we were able to visit INV´S and MA´s. We are
really excited.
We had a mini Conference this last week and MP is
changing the way we teach. I guess there is a new way to teach the
youth... More like Christ would... We are now starting to teach more
like Christ would. I think It will be great. We are still having to
memorize over 50 scriptures word for word. It is kind of ridiculous.
This week we were able to help out 2 families with
service. We cleaned up garbage and pulled weeds for Evelyn. There was a
tree with a couple rose bushes... and a lot of big rocks. I ended up
cleaning the garbage out, pulling out the weeds and lining up the rocks
in a design and she just about died when she saw it. She was really
happy with the work we did. We also helped a MA, Mauricio, clean up the
outside of his house. He is a younger guy and recently married with a 3
year old little girl. His little girl has got to be the cutest little
girl I have ever seen. We are really trying to get the wife, Pamela, to
church with the husband. She isn´t a member and hasn´t really given time
to the missionaries. We were there at the house on Monday and asked her
to share with us for 5 minutes, after a couple seconds she finally
walked in. They have been having trouble in there relationship. We told
here that we were there to help. The sister of Mauricio is a member and
came to me crying the other day asking if We could go pass by there
house. She went with us to the lesson and she said that it was the first
time she has sat down and actually listened. She said she always says
she´s busy and walks out. We are hoping we can help them out.
The Relief Soc. had an activity this Saturday giving
away clothes in front of the church. We were able to contact lots of
people and give away pamphlets and pass alongs. It didn´t really help us
out but it was something new to try.
I got an awesome letter from Aunt Kay along with a box
of caramel popcorn. She sent a box of 4 big ziploc bags of it. It cost
her $60 to send! Tell her and her family I love them all and thank you
for the treat and the awesome letter. The letter really helped me out
this week.
Still have been a little sick, Cough is about to kill me, Nose bleeds have stopped though.
We had a total of 62 people in church with 3 INV´s and 6 RC.
We don´t have plans for Christmas.... we will be going to Talca for a Conference on WED.
Well not much else happened this week. We didn`t have
much time this week. We ended up having to go into Chillan and didn`t
get back till late. Love you all and miss you tons. Tell Colten I will
write him next week.
Con Amor,
Elder Torgersen
