So last week we had transfers and . . . we had a couple problems. I was going to take a flight to my next area but a couple of things happened and we missed the flight. So in the end, I ended up traveling in a bus for 20 hours!!!! 20 HOURS!! That obviously wasn't fun. But now everything is good and I am here in Arica working in my area.
To be honest, when I heard my transfer everyone told me that it was bad. That my area was hard, that the members don't help, that people don't progress, that there are few baptisms. But in just one week here working I know that those things aren't true. We have seen so many miracles here in the past week and I'm super glad to be here.
Arica is the most north city in the mission. It's right below Peru. And here there are so many foreigners. So many people from Cuba, Venezuela, Peru, and Bolivia. We are teaching many people that aren't from Chile. They are really humble and open to hear the gospel.
This past week my testimony on faith was strengthened. When I got here many other missionaries told me that I am in a hard area, that nobody progresses in this area. But we have been working super hard and are seeing so many miracles. We are teaching so many people and we are planning on having a couple of baptisms this weekend.
I am enjoying my time here. Miracles are real. I have a testimony of that.
God is good.
And faith brings miracles!
Love you lots!
