"To succeed in your mission, you must have a single-minded devotion to your goal."

- A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Halloween came and went. We had an amazing activity where we used to trunks of the cars for the children to do their trick or treating. It was awesome to have seen something so American happen here in Chile! We had a really great week where we had a few lessons that will be unforgettable! We have found a person who was willing to hear us teach about how families can be eternal. We got there to teach, and we just had what seemed like a normal conversation! It was amazing! We talked about how this is the Church of Jesus Christ, how we have been given priesthood authority by Christ, and how His teachings which have been restored are what we need to have a true peace in this life. It was amazing how this man was so humble. As we asked if that peace was something he would like, he said, "Yes, in fact, it is what I need." 

We also were contacting in the farthest part of our sector where we don't normally go. We were really thirsty while doing this, so we knocked on a door and asked for water. As we drank, we talked with the person, and they started to be really receptive to what we said. We started to talk about the church. She also became very excited, and it was really amazing to see how she could recognize the need that she had for the "living water"of Christ 

This week was full of many other miracles, all of which were amazing and unique in their own way. I just want you all to know that our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. It may not always come when we want it (and frankly, it almost never does), but those answers do come when the Lord knows we need it at the opportune moment. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
