Sunset in QuilpueHey everyone how are things going? Things are starting to get going here in Los Aromos. We found a 20 year old kid named Javier that used to go with his friend in Viña to church there and was really receptive to us. He actually came to church with us on Sunday. We had a good lesson with Maria Morlas, a lady that we are teaching that is looking for the fullness of the gospel basically.
This week I did intercambios with Elder David in Paso Hondo. It was fun doing intercambios with him. I saw him when he got to the mission and was in my zone in Ovalle in his second change. Now he is training and its fun seeing his progress. He is a good missionary and a diligent worker. We decided to invite people to hear us sing a hymn for them and we got into three houses that day.
Last night we had a special meeting with all of the ward mission leaders of the Quilpué stake, us, and President Gillespie. It was to talk about the new program that we are starting to help the missionary work in each ward progress faster. It was pretty good. Right after that, we had a Family Home Evening with the Cubillos family. They are an awesome family in the branch. He is the 2nd counselor in the branch presidency. They are relatively new to the branch. They have been here around a year. It was really fun. Elder Saldivar taught the lesson on the importance and blessings of reading the scriptures daily. We then had some games. One game was everyone picked a fruit and while covering your teeth with your lips, you had to say " from apple to grapes", "from grapes to cherry" but if you showed your teeth you were out. Its really hard because you want to laugh and it makes your face tired after a little bit. The family invited a member of the church that had recently moved to the neighborhood. She was baptized about a year ago in Juan Fernandez Island. She hasn't gone to church for quite a while. It was fun getting to know her too. The Cubillos family has a son serving in the Bolivia Santa Cruz mission. Right now he is actually learning Portuguese because he is right on the border of Brazil.
Well that is what is going on here with me. Have a great week everyone and talk to you next week.
