Family

This week my companion and I had interchanges with the other sisters in Punta Arenas. It was a great learning experience for both my companion and I. She has been having a rough time with her health and it has been affecting our work and relation. So this was a good time to take a breather and refocus on the love we have for the work and eachother. I went with Hermana Fuertes from Bolivia. And Hermana Aguilar went with Hermana Alverez from Argentina. Hermana Fuertes is leaving at the end of this month and had a mountain of wisdom and knowledge, advice, and love to share with me. She helped focus on inviting everyone to read the scriptures, pray always, and attend the church, and LOVE! That was her favorite part about me is that I don’t let anyone pass me in the street with out talking to them. I won’t forget the time when we were in the house filling out an outline for a lesson to practice and when we were all done she looked at me and said with all her heart "Is there something bothering you? I am here and I want to help you. I’m not only here to help the investigators, but you too!" I started crying and let it all out because I felt of her love. That is what I learned, we all just need love. I know that we know of the pure and full Love of Christ and we are here to spread it.

Thank you for calling. I appreciate your concern and your personal love and interest for me. My companion and I went over to apologize and give him a letter and a good-bye present. When we entered the house we found out that he had also bought and made presents for us. There were alot of tears shed. My companion and I shared our testimonies and a scripture. My companion promised him in the name of Christ that if he listened to me and prayed, studied and meditated on this message that he would know of the truth and feel at peace. He shared that since he has been studying with us we has prayed and received beautiful answers from God and terrible experiences from Satan. In the end we are not saying good-bye to him and his family yet. We explained that he needs to be still and listen and not dispute everything that we say. He really is special and I want to give him a chance. Because Joseph Smith prayed and yes at first when he prayed Satan ceased him but with all the energy that he had he was able to over come Satan. After this dark spirit left he saw the glorious light and saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

My area is amazing! I love it here! Thank you so much! We have so many people that are almost baptised, I hope they all enter this covenant with God that they know is true!

My companion thinks she is leaving this area and I'm going to miss her, so we had a great p-day, and now I'm waiting for my new comp. Have a great week! Write me and tell me how you are honestly. I LOVE YOU!!!

Love Hermana Wade
