Week Nine: October 5, 2015

What a great conference weekend am I right?! 

Vez tras vez my questions are answered during conference, it is like a testimony fertilizer! I hope you all enjoyed Conference too and ate some crepes, waffles, or German pancakes for me! 

D****** talked to her boyfriend and he is not ready to get married but she is still a stellar investigator and we are going to keep teacing her even though she can´t be baptized yet. She is an example to me! 

-She told us she wanted to save up some money to donate to the youth in our ward to go  to EFY in Chile! 

-SHE asked us for a Book of Mormon before we even gave her one! 

-She bought a skirt!  

-She came to Conference(Sunday session) and was taking NOTES! 

-Then on top of everything she said she can´t wait to go watch the ones she missed online. 

WOW. I LOVE HER! 

I wish we could help her to be baptized because she wants it so bad but for now we will trust in the Lord and his plans and I know one day in the future she can! She is oh so eager and oh so good. She is amazing. 

We also found new investigators this week!! 

I love the sweet people of Chile. Everyone is so nice here it´s also because we are in the sweet humble Campo(country) part of the mission. But reallly, SO sweet. Sometimes I can´t even tell if they are rejecting or accepting an invitation because of their sweetness. Haha everyone kisses everyone´s cheeks too literally everyone, even people you don´t know it´s like a handshake haha.  

A funny story that happened this week was this little 10yr old boy was trying to kiss my cheek and he was just so confused why we couldn´t so he kept saying “Hola... hola... hola...” *pointing to his cheek* hahaha.. then he was like “HELLO” hahaha! So funny, then he was super confused when we could kiss his sisters cheek...LOL. 

I wanna hear all of your favorite “one liners” too! (Are you guys doing that again this time mama?)

Hermana Black´s fav “one liners” from conference:

• Now is the time to prepare to meet God; not to recieve all our blessings.
• Was that all that was required of me?
• God did not design us to be sad he created us to have JOY.
• BE the kind of person you want to marry
• Hold on to the gospel with BOTH HANDS.
• Ask: What lack I yet?
• 1. Are we making our discipleship too complicated?
• 2. START where you ARE!
• TURN to HIM
• ENDURE to the end but more importantly ENJOY to the end
• Don´t you know, I know? (Christ)
• What are we going to do about the LIGHT in their eyes?! 
• Women we need you & your power
• NOW IS THE TIME: teach the gospel with CLARITY & from the HEART & by the SPIRIT.
• True disciples don´t make excuses they simply have the desire to inspire
• Family is the center of life and key to happiness
• The gospel? It works, would you like to know more?
• You are never “too bad” or it´s never “too late”..... he takes us as we are & makes us more.
• ACTively come unto him
• What areas of my life do I want to strengthen to strengthen others?
• REACH UP!
• We need to forgive to be forgiven
• Once you see the divinity in yourself you can start to see it in others (Abby this totally reminded me of grandpa Max´s mirror lesson)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT ALL! I could go on forever. I know this church is true with all my heart, I know the Prophets and apostles are called and I know Chist knows us by every detail.
