We had zone conference early in the weekend which was pretty good... except that it went long so we didn't get to do interviews and we had to RUN to the bus... good times 
(side note I'm currently writing this from a bus on the way to copiapo AGAIN because we have exchanges tomorrow with the hermanas here.) Also, got told to do a musical number again... on the bus ride on the way to copiapo... so had to figure that one out in like less than 12 hours haheha. A little organization would be cool but like it's fine. We sang I need thee every hour (me and my compi) and it turned out pretty good (there was a weird thing with the piano but no importa!!)

A little later in the week we had our ups and downs, like one day we found this little family who are so golden!! (And apparently they had someone over visiting until 4am, but the husband couldn't sleep because he was so excited to come to church, so he woke up at 7am and came to church like 2 hours early, and then when we taught him the plan of salvation right after the meeting, he used his VAST knowledge of the Bible to tell us how everything we were teaching makes a lot of sense and he believed every word.... he told us that from the moment he stepped into the building he felt like something was accompanying him. The whole conversation we had with him, I kept thinking how these things don't just... happen!! Like I feel like he's the type of golden amigo that I've only ever heard stories about... and ya wanna know how we found them? Well, we were in our favorite plaza, and we had been sitting on a bench doing some phone calls, and we had planned to talk to some people, and well, before we got up we were talking about this tree that had these red fruits on them, and my comp was convinced they were crab apples, and I had felt a pull towards this couple, so I asked them what kind of fruit was on that tree, and then we ended up talking to them for like 30 minutes. And that's how it began... sorry if this is kind of all over the place.... but basically the adversary is working HARD because this guy works 4 days on and 4 days off, so he's going to be working every Sunday for the next 4 weeks 
so it is what it is. But he has his wife, and two daughters who we're going to teach next week!! I'm so excited, and if they happen to get sealed this time next year I would like to come BACK to chile in order to be there for it!!!

But like I said, ups and downs, that was Friday, and on Saturday we had a day FULL of rejection and cancelations... yikes.
One of the days, we were in this plaza again and this guy who's been inactive for YEARS after serving a mission, approached us. Apparently he's seen us in the plaza a ton, and a hundred times felt impressed to talk to us, but just that day decided to follow his feelings, and he CAME TO CHURCH on Sunday!!!! For the first time in years!!! Literally just because we exist, he was able to start coming back to church!
And we were also able to talk to a family and answer like an hour and a half of questions about literally so many things... and anyways.
I wanted to write about other things but I'm OUT of time now
Love you all!!
