"Healing rain is a real touch from God. It could be physical healing or emotional or whatever."

- Michael W. Smith

This week was interesting. We worked hard, really hard. We found lots of people and relied on the Lord to help us in the work. Everything this week was crazy. We had predictions from members about us not getting any more rain and that it would just stay dry, but thanks to the fast we did last week, it rained for about 2-3 days straight. Now, there is plenty of snow up in the mountains, and the temperature has dropped to about -5 degrees Celsius here. I’m wearing a sweater, a jacket, and a scarf which is something I’d never have to do in Arizona. I’m only doing it so I don’t get sick here because getting sick is the worst thing ever in the mission field. Thanks to the rain, this country can have the pollution level lowered almost to 0%, and I can breathe a lot easier! Therefore, it is a week of healing.

Also, this week we had to do exchanges where I was with another missionary for 24 hours, and I had to do it twice. So for two days I was in a different part of Chile!! It was a lot of fun to learn from my mission leaders and to be in a different part of the mission. For me, it was a time of healing because I was able to try new things in a sector and be able to meet all kinds of people who want to change.

This week was hectic... but oh so worth it.
