This week my companion and I decided to explore the concrete jungle of Santiago and find the wild beasts within. So we took our bags, got in the metro, and went to the Santiago Zoo.
It was fun and pretty exciting. It's different because a lot of the animals are from South America, so we saw a lot of monkeys, emu, llamas, and other animals. It's a super small zoo, but it was all you needed. The animals were also super active, which made it more exciting.
My little sector of Sanhattan is getting better and better every day. We are finding more people that belong to my sector and teaching them and getting to know other. One day we were stopped by a menos activos house, and she gave us some shampoo because the type she had is better for our hair apparently. So we started walking around with our Books of Mormon, water bottles, and shampoo. We stopped at another building to look for someone, and the conserje asked if we sold shampoo. Of course I said no, but we have a special message about the gospel of Jesus Christ!
We also had a great fireside in another sector, and my companion and I went because our President asked us to be in the choir. It was great because we got to see a lot of other missionaries we haven't seen in a while, like my trainer!
I am also noticing small ways of how the Lord prepares people to receive the gospel. Something I learned in one of our many meetings as a missionary is that missionaries do not prepare people to receive the gospel; the Lord does.
Through small means He prepares the people to receive our message and we are here to teach it. There are so many people that I have talked to this week. As they have talked to me, I can see how the Lord has prepared them. And it makes me happy that I can help them in their path.
And some photos! The first one is of me and my hija.
