¡Bakan!

Bakan is a Chilean word which, strictly translated, means super-incredibly-amazingly-awesomely-really-really-cool.  I believe that´s the formal translation.  Trust the Chileans to have a word like that.

This week, we were about to go home, when my companion asked if we could knock on one more door.  Although it was pretty late and normally people aren´t really receptive when we do this, we decided to knock on one more door.  A girl of about twenty years opened the door and we explained, nosotras somos misioneras de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias, estamos compartiendo sobre el evangelio de Jesucristo y como puede bendecir su vida y fortalecer su familia, our little opening line, and she told us to come right in.  MIRACLE.  Truly.  She and her fiancee were about to leave but they both stayed to listen and we taught them the first lesson and it was really really great, they were asking questions and everything and were very interested and wanted to meet with us a couple days after.  Which is a miracle people.  We have our second lesson with them today, I´ll let you all know how it goes.  

Also, a less active family who I´ve been working with for my entire time here, and who I´m really close with has started reading the Book of Mormon and are now coming to church and are working together as a family to go be sealed in the temple.  I cannot tell you how happy I am about this because when we found them, they told me they didn´t even know if they believed in God and were so bogged down by so many of the bad things in the world.  And now it´s so much different in their home.  

We also went to Lago Ranco again today and it was incredible, the pictures don´t don´t do it justice.  I will have to send more pictures and write about all the ton of other stuff that happened this week next week because I have no time!! I love you all!!!!!!! Ciao!
