Feb 1-8‏

Hola Family!!

This transfer was really great. I have learned a lot and I’m excited to have another great transfer here in Chiloé. My companion Hermana Pérez is amazing. She has learned to keep her switch on to the working mood. We are not perfect yet but we work hard to stay focused and dedicated. The greatest miracle this week was that Yerko and Yesenia got married!!! God always answers our prayers. The entire zone was praying for them. There seemed like there was no hope when the Civil Registration said that all of the hours were taken to get married. We also tried talking one man into marrying them for 135.00 pesos through the Civil Registration, but he wasn’t willing to. My companion and I knew that this was the will of God and that there had to be a solution. All we could do is pray. We talked to our Branch President and he talked to the same man and he said that there is a new law here in Chile that all church leaders of all the churches have the right to marry their members, so they filled out the papers in the nick of time to have the most beautiful reception in the church. Pres. Aguilar acted in name of the church for the law. So now Yerko and Yesenia are the first people who have done it and now they are a part of history. They are so excited to get married in the temple in a year. There baptism was beautiful. The members helped out so much with the reception so that we could do our missionary work. It was great to have the support of the family of Yerko too.I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
