First, attached is a collection of three of the songs that have recently touched my soul. Especially the first one. Captures the Spirit of the Mission perfectly :) -
A thought that has come recently: In trying to find
what I admire about the Chileans, I realized they are especially willing to see
the hand of the Lord in their lives. They readily admit belief in Deity
and attribute a wealth of their blessing to Him.
This week went well, my companions are great, and Elder
Larsen is quite funny. We`re having so good success in the sector, and
the city is cool. A lot of references and less knocking doors. The ward
is huge. 175 yesterday. A significant change from my last branch.
But all in all life moves on happily.
I`ll write more next week,
Apologies
Elder Parry Harrison
P.S. - This link is to an extremely insightful paper about the Book of Mormon I was recently referred to. It is called "Joseph Smith's American Bible: Radicalizing the Familiar" by Terryl L. Givens. A notable quote: "The point is that a Christian audience of Joesph`s day would have considered scriptural history to move inevitably toward completion and closure. In the Book of Mormon, scripture always moves toward proliferation and dissemination in both directions."
