End of November

Hola!

Im headed out of the sector where I was born! (in other words, the sector I started!) Im headed to a city called Chillan and I heard its incredibly hot there in the summer. Oh well, Texas prepared me for hot summers! Ill be companions with a latino, from Argentina, so Im really excited about that. His name is Elder Gil (HILL). Its hard to speak in Spanish all the time with a gringo companion so now Ill be forced to speak spanish all the time, which Im excited to do! No more gringo companion to bail me out on vocabulary words! Ill have to study a bunch now!

We have one investigator that is good to go for next Sunday so Im a little bummed that I cant see her get baptized. But in the end, all that is important is that she gets baptized! She was the one that I spoke about in the last email that I found on a mini cambio and challenged her to baptism as straight forward as I possibly could. She was really prepared by the Lord and Im grateful that I could be a part in the process of her becoming a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

A zone leader asked me, on a mini cambio last week, ¨what was the main thing that you have learned from this sector?¨ Considering it was my first sector, I told him Spanish obviously. The other one that I learned is how to do ¨inspired contacts.¨ I mean that by applying the Gospel to the person that we contact in the best way that I can, as quick as I can. Thinking about it a little more, I really learned that the people and the members are amazing here in Chile. Ive really tried to develop that love for my brothers and sisters here and they have showed love back. It will be hard to say ¨chao¨ and ¨nos vemos¨ tonight to everyone but atleast Im not headed home to the states yet! That will be rough!

Thats pretty much the biggest news, that Im leaving where Ive been for 5 1/2 months! During studies in the morning every time something makes sense to me, it just re-assures me that this is the true church! Everything just falls into place so perfectly!

I head out tomorrow morning so time to finish up emails and say bye to everyone!

Chao!

Elder Gregory
