Pray Without Ceasing

This past pday we played frisbee! I love having dedicated time each day to study the gospel. Started teaching Karel, the son of a less active who is returning to church. It felt like we were teaching an angel. He accepted a baptismal date! He began reading the Book of Mormon and even took it with him to school. We went searching for a family whose daughter passed away recently. We didn`t find the house, but Chileans have open-casket viewings in their house that last about four days when someone dies. There are Russian Olive trees in Chile and they`re in bloom! While visiting a less active, a little boy brought me objects from around the house to learn how to say it in English and then he picked me a flower. I love the little kids :) We brought a family of investigators to a ward activity with traditional dances of South America and gave them a tour of the chapel and the baptismal font. Contacted a group of girls picking nisperros, a yellow apricot-like fruit, and they gave us some to try. Don`t spend your time on things of this world because you won`t be taking them with you to heaven. Time is a precious gift God is giving you each day, so spend it building your relationships, testimony, knowledge, and things of eternal worth. We talked with two atheists this week and testified that God exists. You are evidence of Him because you are part of His creation and are created in His image. He gave us the Earth, families, temples, scriptures, prophets. Through prayer, we can know all things by the power of the Holy Ghost. Ignacio, one of our investigators, participated in the Primary Program during Sacrament Meeting :) After a lesson with Alexander and Maria Baxman Guzman, they showed us their house they remodeled themselves and furniture they handcrafted. I like doing that kind of stuff and working with my hands. Then they shared "once" with us: herbal tea with mint leaves and avocado on homemade bread. The people are very giving, even when they have little. You don`t need much to be happy, just love at home.
Love, Hermana Jerman
