Oh... we had a nice experience
this week. We left our house and we were on our way out of our neighborhood
when someone waved to us. I waved back, but we just went on. Then I started
feeling guilty for not talking to her, and felt like I should contact her, so I
turned around and we went back to her.
She was weeding the garden in
front of her house and I offered to help. We went and changed clothes and came
back in about five minutes. For about an hour we helped her out. She explained
to us that she'd had 3 strokes and several other health problems and that just
recently she'd felt good enough to get out and work in her garden. She was very
grateful for the help.
She basically said that she
felt the Spirit when we were with her... although she described it like good
vibes.... good energy. She was so happy, she invited us to eat lunch with her
this week and said that normally she didn't speak to the missionaries, but
that we could even share a message with her. It turns out she was baptized
about ten years ago, although she's been inactive ever since. She also mentioned
she'd gone to see President Hinckley in Santiago one time.
We've had several experiences
like that this week where we've felt prompted to do something, and we've been
able to be instruments in the Lord's hands.
Oh sorry guys, I forgot that last week I didn't know who my companion was yet... haha. Yeah, so on Tuesday we went to the office to pick up our new companions. My new companion is Elder Ortega, from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. He's learning Spanish very fast, thanks to his great teacher.
I'd send you fotos, but the other place where we do internet was full, so we're in a different place and the computers are so lame they don't even recognize my memory card.
Anyway, that's about it.
Chao (de verdad)
Elder Garrett
