This week we walked and walked and walked! We are trying our best not to use the subway and bus systems because it uses a lot of our money. One day we had four citas in four hours in four different parts of our area, and we made them all! The following day other day we found a pedometer and we counted that we walked 20,567 steps in that day, which is around ten miles.
We also had a super successful noche de hogar this past Friday, and about four families came. I think my favorite part was the last prayer, when 6 year old Magdalena Luna said, "Thank you so much for this marvelous Noche de Hogar." I could not stop smiling and gave her a big hug! And her mom afterward says that she won't stop talking about it. Not only that, but they were talking about it in Ward Council and I think they like the idea of Noche de Hogar more.
The elders in my ward had a baptism this past Saturday. His name's Diego and he's pretty awesome. He also wants an eternal family so his next goal is the temple. He was super happy. I love that this gospel makes people so happy.
We also were walking in Vitacura one day when a man fell down in the street. He was a little large and lost his balance. Some guys immediately came over to help, but they were having a little trouble lifting him up. My companion, who was a CNA, tried to help at first, but since they said no, we stood back. But as we saw them struggling to lift him, she came over and said in her best Spanish, "Underneath the arms!" A few guys moved for her and she practically lifted him up herself and helped him to a nearby bench. My companion is pretty awesome. And we got to help someone!
Have a great week!
