Elder HJones: Hay lluvia (RAIN!!)





It rained this past week!! It was cool. It was the first time that I saw RAIN in 2 years! And that's why I sent the video! The people here kinda freak out because nobody is prepared for rain. Many times there are floods and stuff, but it was nothing crazy. It was only a couple of minutes, but it was still really cool.






We went to Anofagasta on Tuesday. It was really awesome. It was Pres. Ferreira's last consejo de lideres (Leader's council), it was sad. I have learned to love him and respect him. This week, on Wednesday, we travel to Copiapo to have a zone conference with Presidente. And next week we travel to Antofagasta to say goodbye to Presidente. We are going to have a testimony meeting or something like that. And that will be that. In a couple of weeks Presidente will be gone. This week I will have my last interview with him. :(

In 2 weeks we have transfers. I'm still not sure what will happen. Maybe I'll stay here in Vallenar for my last one. jaja That would be kinda crazy. I want to stay has zone leader, but we will see what happens. I'm up for whatever. I just want to work up until the last minute.

We are working with a really family awesome. Daniela, Fiorella, and Estefano. Please pray that they can continue progressing. We are also working with a really humble family from Venesuela. Luiggi, Tania, Eliana, Milexi, Yoander. I want them to come to church SO BAD! I have grown to love there family. But they are always working on Sunday. But this weekend they are going to try to attend. Please pray for them too.

One thing that I learned this week is the God sees more then what we can see. Many times during my mission I have looked back on a week and thought that I really haven't done much. The results aren't there. I worked hard, but there aren't results to show it. But this week, I came to realize that God can see more. God can see the physical results and the spiritual results. He knows our hearts.

It reminds me of a scripture on 1 Samuel 16:7
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 

Love you guys!
