Elder Porter in Chile

T his week was a little off, we didn't really quite have all the success that we were hoping for both in the sector and in the district, but we pulled through.  Learning to enjoy hard times as well as the good times. So I have to say there really isn't too much to report for things that happened this week. I did a few interviews that went really well and we confirmed our friend Roberto.  He is making slow but steady progress in the gospel and its cool to see the change. We have Christmas Conference on  Thursday so looking forward to  that. Yes, Arica is coming down so I will be seeing some more old friends. Then we have transfers the 31 of December so we will be seeing a new cambio for the new year.  It's kind of up in the air if I will stay or not because I am training and it's not unheard of to have 5 transfers, but at the same time I could be going.  I am just not going to say anything about it and put it in the hands of the Lord. Today we went up to Ho

So  to start off we decided to have a fast as a district and as such (it seems that every time during a fast, things get harder and worse) we had a really bad day on Thursday.  All the interviews that  I was going to do in our district fell through except for one that I was doing to someone in the hermanas sector who didn't want to live the ley de castidad.  Well, I can tell you that it didn't turn out.  So many things went wrong. When we finished, we went to the sand dune behind and me and Elder Burton yelled at the top of our lungs, but not in a despairing way, but just a way to give us animo because everything was out of our control and there are just days like that. After we yelled we said a prayer and headed back to the sector.  We got back to our sector just in time to the interview in our sector and the miracle happened and we got a baptism!  Roberto is a cool guy and is proud that he is ex-military, so we tried on his uniform. My  hijito   is also pure
