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.

Love hermana wade
