"Stay on the Lord's side, and you will win every time."

- Richard G. Scott

About 4-5 weeks ago, we had a fast here in Chile. We needed rain badly. Since that fast, we not only have had a bit of rain, but a TON of rain!!! It has had such a great effect that it has changed the whole climate here in Chile! Now, the streets are filled with rain, and the mountains are filled with whiteness of snow! It has been amazing to see the change here! I’m so glad to be here to experience this miracle from the blessings of fasting! 

This week was really hard because there still wasn’t anyone, but we have received names of people to visit. We were able to see the change in people when they told us that they want to come back to church! We had someone that we had passed by during the week call us during our nightly planning session, and he told us to come by at 5 in the afternoon the following day. It was amazing to really see how much the Lord has prepared people to come back to the fold of God! He came to church, and he wants to go serve a mission!!! It is so great to be a missionary and find someone who wants to go out and save souls also!!

This week was really full of learning because we didn’t have anyone to really pass for, but we did have people who wanted us to pass by later in the week! 

The power of faith, which really is a result of righteousness and also obedience, is what leads us to do things that we normally do. Being human beings that try to think "rationally," but as we trust in the Lord, we are able to know what to do!

Hope that you all have a great week and continue to grow in your faith in Christ!
