Aug 17- 24‏

Familia mio,

Sunday was so great! It was a blessing to see the fruits of our work here this transfer with Hna Vallejos! The Murillo family attended church, which is the family of my branch mission leader German.

The Cifuentes Family cat died. I started the fast alone but then thought it would be better to fast with them and my companion so that they could receive a testimony of fasting but when we past by their house that day the cat had died. I have learned a lot of lessons from this; one that I will never wait to fast, and two that you don’t make the rules for God you just obey His will. Luckily, they are over that. Rodrigo, Marcela, and Kayla are going to church and Marcela told a member that she is realizing more and more everyday that this is Gods church and this is where she needs to be and stay. Kayla attended the young women’s class today because Hna Angelica Holgins invited her and got her all excited about completing the Young Women’s Program.

Then Hno Jorge Muños is an excommunicated member that I have been working with. I really love this family. I will never forget that Sunday when I sat next to his wife Miriam and she rest her head on my shoulder and cried during the sacrament meeting. She is such an example to me as she patiently waits for her husband to come out of these dark ages. He was an active member but he committed a sin and he was humble enough to go through that repentance process and he told his ward leaders. He accepted his excommunication but now he is finding all the little faults or misinterpretations in our branch president. I was thinking about the stories in the Bible of when one person is trying to help the other cast a mote out of his eye when he has a beam in his own eye, the scripture teaches that we need to fix our greater problems before we focus on the problems of other. But I shared the scripture in the beginning of Mathew that say love, pray and do well to your enemies. Then it teaches that we need to forgive if we want God to forgive us. I have this more then clear and I have seen this in my family. I have also absolute experienced bliss when one of my family members forgave the others. We need to ask our selves how long we are going to let Satan control us with these bad feelings. In the end really we are only damaging our lives here in this life and that feeling will last for all eternity. This life is too short to not love every single one of our brothers and sisters the way Jesus loves us.

Really I’m bummed because I got news today that I’m going to leave Radimadi in La Unión. I’m sad because Hna Vallejos and I had a lot of plans for this next transfer with lots of baptisms, birthdays, and the Independence Day of Chile which is September 18th. I wanted to be here for her last transfer her in the mission because I know it will be hard for her. But that is what we learn in this great Church that is lead by God and we believe in Revelation through our leaders and we accept te challenge with a challenge. I will be serving in the great zone of VILLARICA!! I am excited about it because it is the most south part of the mission, so now I have served in the coldest south part and now I’ll be serving in the warmer north part.

Wow I can’t explain all the wonderful miracles that I was able to experience. I wasn’t able to baptize the Cifuentes family but I know that I did make a difference in the lives of a lot of less active members. There is one inactive sister that has rejected contact from the church for the past 25 years, and my companion and I were able to be there to listen to her story and to help her back into the light of Christ through the Book of Mormon because she has felt so depressed with her son in jail for killing two people. There are big battles of divorcement with other investigators and people dieing of cancer. Many people with real life problems and it is humbling to think that God has total confidence in me and so do the people.

Love Hermana Wade
