This week was General Conference! So pretty much the best weekend on the mission because we get to listen to the prophet and get spiritually fed. Though I do prefer to listen to Conference in English instead of Spanish. My ward has a room for the English speakers to listen to Conference, so we get to go in there except when we have an investigator come. So the last session I watched in Spanish with one of our investigators, Jessica. There were some things that I missed (like I had no idea what the word for firecracker is in Spanish) but it was great anyway. Jessica enjoyed it and thought a lot. She's been reading the Book of Mormon and says she has felt a change in her life. Hopefully for all who listened you got to learn something new. And for those who didn't, you are always welcome to see them!
We got to have intercambios with Apoquindo B this week, and I got to spend time with Hermana Thompson from Mississippi. She's awesome. We got to teach a lesson together and save a pigeon that was stuck under a fence. So that pigeon must be pretty grateful and telling all his pigeon friends about the missionaries.
I am really grateful for the chance that everybody has to listen to the prophet. It's amazing that we get to receive revelation as often as we do and help that we can use for our lives and our families. I know God is still a God of miracles because I see them every day on my mission. I have talked to so many people who think God has abandoned them or done awful things. I wish people could see what I see, and witness all the miracles all the miracles that happen. Miracles have not stopped in Santiago. And they haven't stopped anywhere else.
Ciao!
Hermana Reed
