Buenos días a todos!
How is everyone doing today?? I hope you are all doing well. I have just had the craziest week but it is always the "craziest week" so I guess that isnt anything new. I continue to learn a lot of lessons and improve every day. We saw a lot of miracles this week too. Prayers have been answered for sure!
The miracle that I want to share with you guys is about service. We were working like normal and it was getting a little late so we decided to take a quick break in the church and head out after. And we entered the church and the youth were there doing their activity and all of a sudden my companion grabs my arm and we turn around and there is a young girl from Haiti sitting on the bench closest to the door to walk into the church. And we went over and talked to her. I tried using the little bit of french and creole that I know to communicate a little bit easier with her and it worked until I ran out of phrases. But the main point is she ended up coming to the church because she was freezing. Her body was trembling and she didnt have a heavy coat or very good shoes.
She was alone, she didnt come to Chile with family or friends and lives alone. She doesnt have a job and she doesnt have much to live off of. So I did what I could have done in this moment. I gave her my scarf, my gloves, and a beanie we had found in the church and then we fed her. We made some quick quesadillas and some juice and she finally showed a smile. That was what I was waiting for and my companion and I knew what we did was worth it and it was small but big.
That is about all for this week boys and girls, tune in next week for the adventures of Elder J and Elder C here in Chile!
Elder Jorgensen
