Thoughts from Chile

Hey :)

Yesterday was wonderful.  It it amazing to be in a ward that functions of its own accord.  To start off we were able to have Roberto come to church.  He seemed to enjoy it and was very willing to participate.  When you have 164 people in the church even if only 30% greet a visitor they`re constantly saying hello to people, which obviously makes them feel welcomed.  He`s now progressing towards his baptizmal date which is great.  We`ve taught a couple of less-active part-member families which have been powerful lessons.

Couple of thoughts/revelations of late: 
Science`s end is to manage/relate/understand the world.
Religion`s end is to manage/relate/understand morals, identity, and find fulfillment and peace.

Many times we think the Sacrament is a great way to start the week.  But, it should be the end of a week of repentence and preparation to partake of its emblems.

Members here are to help grow the church through converts and protect them.
Members there are to help maintatin the flock and grow the church through testimony.

I hope, and in reality pray, that you`ve had and will have a wonderful week full of love, testimony, peace, and joy. 

Tu misionero
