This week we had a lot of great miracles. We went tracking to a few appointments with the Allende couple. I love there energy as grandpas and there love for the Lord and His work. We past for the first appointment but she didn’t let us but fixed a different appointment. Then my companion was inspired to knock on the door of her neighbor that we had met the week before. Her daughter said that she didn’t feel good, but we insisted that we wanted to pass and sing her a hymn and give her company. When she let us pass we found her mom on the bed because she had fallen and broken her ankle. Her ankle had a big ball and she didn’t have money to go to the hospital or to get a ride in a taxi. I was thinking about how she needed a priesthood blessing but she had never learned about the power and authority of God yet so I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, Hno Allende knew exactly what to do and offered her a ride to” the bone man” that snaps the bones back into place for a low cost for all the villagers but he wasn’t home so we took her and her daughter to the hospital and Hno Allende handed her a bunch of money to pay for the stay. I’m so thankful for his great example. They shared their testimonies with Carlos and Joan who have been ancient investigators because Carlos doesn’t want to get married. I was so thankful that I was only the instrument in the hands of the Lord to put them together in the same room so that Hno. Allende could share his priesthood power and follow the influence of the Spirit. Their experiences were the same and Joan was so thankful that they came and shared there experience and said she was so grateful for his counsel. She was so humble and is deciding to change her attitude so that Carlos and Joan can get married November 7th.

Oct 12- 19
I love the mission! I can’t believe I completed one year in the mission on October 15th! I am learning more everyday and becoming the daughter of God that He wants me to be.
Our Zone Conference this Friday was incredible and forever changed my perspective about how I’m going to work for the Lord. I know that this program is ordained of God and that My mission President is called of God. We are focusing more on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how they need to understand the 5 principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is: Faith in JESUS CHRIST and HIS ATONEMENT, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. I am going to focus more on teaching about the Atonement of Jesus Christ so that everyone can understand that they need to have confidence in Jesus by keeping the commandments of God that He will bless us if we do His will. We need to understand that by keeping the commandments we show our love and our willingness to repent of our sins and put of the natural man. Then we understand that baptism is not only a commandment but a sacred covenant with God. The Bible and the Book of Mormon give clear examples of how Jesus was baptized and how he receives the gift of the Holy Ghost. Any other way is doctrine of man and the devil and is of no worth. The scriptures are clear that he that doesn't do these things and endures to the end will be condemned. I am perfecting my way of teaching with my companion daily as we study alone and together and as we do evaluations after every lesson. This week was hard because the members are willing to leave with us but this whole week they canceled on us, it was sad. This week will be the best it is my goal to reach the mission standards this week and then to maintain it every week in my mission. I know it is possible and that it is the will of the Lord for me. I love this great work and being a instrument in the hands of the Lord. It is a privilege to help the Chileans receive their own testimonies so they can study, pray, and be accountable for their actions.

Sept 28- Oct 5
WAHOOOOOOO! There is going to be a NEW TEMPLE IN CHILE!!! It is only 5 hours out of the mission in Concepcion. When Pres. Monson said that there was a temple in Brigham City, Utah, and then Concepcion, CHILE…everyone in the congregation screamed and then I started crying out of emotion as I hugged Sister Rojas (who lived in Arizona 2001-2006) and we offered a prayer out loud in thanks for a Heavenly Father that had listened to our prayers.
Conference was amazing and I loved every bit of it. I love conference! We had 5 investigators come and listen to conference it was a satisfying moment to gather all together and listen to the prophet and his apostles so that they could feel the spirit and receive their personal testimony. It was sad to see two recent converts say that they didn’t want to go to conference and I started crying when I left the house of Patricio Mora because I know that Satan is working on his weaknesses so that he dosen’t feel the spirit, I testified that he needed to go to conference to listen to Pres Monson and feel the spirit. He looked me in the eyes and said “no don’t insist sister wade” my companion said “ok patricio we’ll see you in conference” we shoke his hand and as we left I started to cry. But then as we were sitting there I turned around and there he was in his suit and a big smile on his face.
We passed by for Felix and Yerty to go to conference so that they could be baptized the following week end but Yerty’s water broke and she was having contractions and pacing up getting to leave to the hospital. We’ll have to post pone their baptism but I can’t wait to pass by for them in the hospital to congratulate them with there new son, this is her 4 kid at 19 years of age! She really is a role model to me on the way she works. It is really rare to see a women working while she is pregnant, and my companion and I are convinced that half or more of the women her are pregnant. Haha there is one member that is on maternity leave for a year…can you imagine that?
I’m excited for this transfer because nothing changed I’m here in Villarrica with my companion Hermana Guevara. It’s funny know I have made a pattern of staying with my Salvador companions for 2 transfers and the others only one transfer. I had 1 transfer in Puerto Varas with Hermana Torrico from Bolivia, then 2 transfers in Punta Arena with Hermana Aguilar, and 2 transfers with Hermana Rivas, then La Únion with Hermana Vallejos from Perú, and now I’m in Villarica with Hermana Guevara. I LOVE THE MISSION!!
My investigators are awesome and I love them so much! I know we are going to have a bunch of success this transfer. All of us are preparing to be trainers the next transfer because we will be receiving pure Gringos (English speakers) for the next 3 transfers. The president is worried about this and wants the teenage boys to serve missions.
