Happy 4th of July!!!

Hello everybody! This week we`ve been able to see a ton of miracles, but the biggest miracle of all is that I haven`t frozen stiff in the street. It is freezing here! One of the members told us that it was -4º (celcius) the other day. It`s really incresed the ferventness of my prayers to enter into a house.

I forgot my camera, but we had a ton of cool stuff happen this week. We`ve been trying to do things different than just knocking on doors, and so we`ve been trying to find ways of serving people and being more than a tape recording that we have "a special message to share with you." only the most chosen of the chosen want to listen to someone share a message así. So on Saturday we went early in the morning to the house of a memeber, who taught us how to make sopaipillas. we went into the center of Victoria with pamphlets and pass along cards and gave out the sopaipillas for free and contacted. It was super fun haha. We sung hymns, and there was also a stand of Jejovas witnesses to our right. It was really cold that morning and so we went over and gave them some of our treats and a pamphlet. They were super friendly actually haha. But it was cool to look through their pamphlets briefly. Something that I noticed is that every single one of the things we pass out has an image of Jesus Christ. Every point of our beliefs, what we talk about, what we have in the church is centered on Christ. But the pamphlets of the Jehovas witnesses talk about, I don`t know, nothing to do with Christ. One pamphlet talked about the origin of life and had a scientific timeline of the evolution of man and all kinds of random stuff. I don`t know, it`s kind of cool that that`s what they talk about in their church, but it was a testimony builder to me to see how our church really is so focused in the ultimate and most important truths. Everything else just falls into place.

We have quite a few people who are progressing wonderfully and we`re working really hard to be the best missionaries we can be. thanks so much for your prayers and help and emails. Love you all bunches!
