The week where I was asked to be a son-in-law

Hola Everyone!!! This week has been great down here in Colina Chile, i was finally able to upload the photos from Genessis' baptism so feel free to check those out at the bottom. this week was really good, the weeks are getting shorter but not as short as the number of weeks i have left, too crazy to think about. but I'm just trying to make the most out of everything and try to take it all in. It's funny cause I'm finding everything more meaningful this way, the food we eat, the lessons we teach, the experiences we 're having.

But this week was good, Genessis was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and received the gift of the holy ghost. it was so special.

but funny experience of the week:

the other day we were knocking doors and trying to talk to people and this one lady came out kind of distressed about something, we offered her a card with a little question to think about and the question was: how can i achieve peace and happiness in my life? and when she read that she was shocked and said that she was in need of those two things. then she asked why we came to her house and we said " we felt like we needed to meet you" and she started to tear up. She told us to come back another day to share our message and then as she got to know us she asked about what we do, why we do it, how do we have money if we don't work, and then she got on the topic if we had girlfriends. My companion told her yes and i said nope I'm single haha. she then asked me if i wanted to be her son-in-law and called for her daughter to come meet us hahaha. it was hilarious but a very spiritual experience for us as well. it just goes to show that there are people waiting for this message, we just have to find them and have the guts to knock the door or open our mouths.

well thats all for this week, i love you all and have a great week.

Love, Elder Carlos Cabrera

facts of the week:
