Week 60
Amazing week!!! This was a little shorter week as we had P day Tuesday and it's already P day today on Monday, but hey, not complaining here! My love for Coyhaique hasn't gone anywhere and I'm enjoying it more and more everyday!!
This weekend we had interviews with President Meek and they went awesome :) I'm hoping that I'll be able to stay in Coyhaique for a while and continue seeing amazing things happen here. The zone is still incredibly small as there's still only 6 of us in all of Coyhaique, but hey, it's kinda fun just being out here away from everyone and doing our own thing.
The best thing that happened this week was with my awesome friend Jorge!!!! Also known as "primo" (cousin) as we call each other!! He's so awesome and he attended church yesterday, definitely the highlight of the week!! He's an awesome member who sometimes needs just a little push, but he has the purest heart!
We continue working with a good set of people, and are continuing to progress with one specifically. She continues progressing and we are still basically having daily lessons with her. Something awesome she said after I asked her why she had read ahead in 1 Nephi when the only commitment was to read one chapter yet she read 3. She said "well I don't really like to read but I just had to know what happened with Nephi and I love his story" to see a change like that after never wanting to read is something I love!! That's what happens when people just give the Book of Mormon a chance, it can actually work its way in their hearts!
As we talked with Hermana Meek this weekend, she talked about an image she loved of Jesus Christ where he is reaching into the water to help Peter after he had started doubting his ability to continue walking on the water. I always remember how it is my mom's absolute favorite photo and there's a ton of different meanings depending on how we look at the image. As we are struggling, under water, all we need to do is just extend our hand a little bit and Jesus will be there to help us out!
