¡chi chi chi! ¡le le le! ¡vive chile! That´s a thing here

Hello dearest everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Halloween.  Halloween isn´t as big here in Chile, but the kids still go out knocking doors and ask for dulces o basura.  Treats or trash. We told ourselves we were NOT going to be knocking doors that night.

This week we taught one of my favorite families,  they´re the family that has started reading the book of mormon together and I wish I could explain how incredibly different their home is now.  Everyone is so much happier, both of the parents, Alejandra y Nelsón, have changed so much and are now working towards going to the temple and being sealed as a family there.  I really wish I could describe the lesson that we had, I felt so good about the tiny little part that I played in helping their family progress.  They are so so different, I can´t even explain.  It´s amazing to see the difference in someone when they start to feel good about the person that they are.

We´re also teaching a very young couple, Diego and Edith, and we found out that Diego has a member colleague and in between our first two lessons, he talked with his friend, and by the second lesson, he was telling US what we were going to teach and how, when he goes to church, we have to go with him so that he doesn´t have to sit alone.  We assured him we would.  After we got out of the lesson, it was pretty late, so we started sprinting down the deserted streets with our books in our hands and just laughing and laughing.  

Emma is also doing wonderfully, we had a lesson with her and she said that before, she felt like she constantly had a sword in her heart, but now it´s gone and she feels hopeful and happy, without the terrible depression she had before.  I felt a suddent feeling of gratitude that I had been allowed to be a small part of this change.  

Anyway, I love you all, and I wish I had time to write more, it´s my goal every week to write the masterpiece that is the week in a life of a missionary, but I feel like Moroni every week when he asked the Lord why He had made him so awkward in writing.  Also the part when he said that not a hundredth part could be written.  Anywho, I love you all!
