This week I was called upon really randomly to give a blessing for the sick. My favorite Hermana is having back problems. So, I was totally not in the "Zone" to give a blessing. I had just gotten out of the "Tall Lab" where we goof around and talk caveman Spanish. So I said a prayer in my mind that I could be the mouthpiece for the Lord and share words of comfort...I said the prayer wrong and had to start over cuz I was nervous, but I really did feel the Spirit direct me to say everything that I said. I can't even remember all the words I said!!!
So this week for breakfast I ate 3 bagels with cream cheese and a huge bowl of oatmeal!!! I felt Horrible!! Right after, I had to go do service which included scrubbing toilets!!!
We had a teacher come in from Chile to talk to us and WOW!!! He spoke it so fast that it sounded like one really long word. He taught us some of the culture over there. Here are a few things you should know:
(if you are going to Chile)
*They are very straightforward
*They never say they are sorry unless they "feel" what the other person is going through
*Offering someone water is very Rude...
You must offer someone juice or something else
*They will claim to live in America, you just agree and say Ya, you do.
*When speaking, they drop the endings off words
I found 10 bucks in a little hole in someone's room we were cleaning for service!!! They had just left it for the next people. So I bought a Libro De Mormon and wrote my testimony in it.
This Church is SO TRUE because of the faith needed to believe in it. The natural man is who wants Proof of things. God didn't send us down here to find Proof that He exists. It just makes sense!! I pray for more faith at every meal and in every prayer. I can't even count how many times I pray to my Father in Heaven through His Son, JesuChristo in a day!
Ask For Opportunities to Share What You Know is True, and Watch Out For
"WATCHING OUT FOR YOURSELF."
