Maipú Week 13

Another week here in Maipú, all is going good.

So we have this investigator named Ignacio who´s pretty cool. He`s 17 and pretty open to everything. We were gonna go pick him up for church and he sent us a text saying he was gonna attend church in the stake center cause apparently he has friends there. Well we left Sunday School to go see if he was there and he wasn´t, so today it´s gonna be awkward if he thinks we don´t know that. We´ll see.

We let go of a bunch of our investigators, so it´s been back to the old grind of searching for new ones. But we´re pretty happy with the work that we´ve put in here in Maipú thus far.

We almost won a free asado. But we didn´t haha.

I was thinking this week about the subject of opposition in all things. I know that opposition is very necessary, like without it we wouldn´t be able to grow as people. There´s so much wickedness in the world and it´s pretty sad. There are so many people to attack the church but it still stands. And it brings so much happiness to the lives of people. I was thinking about my time as a missionary and the honor it´s been to share the gospel with people, even though every day is full of rejection and sorrow. It strengthens my testimony and it makes me want to be a more faithful member. There have been times in my mission where I have felt like a complete failure for personal faults and the decisions of others, but I know that the church is true and being a servant of Christ is the best thing I´ve ever decided to do.

I´ll be seeing you all soon.

love,

Elder Anderson
