This week we had a baptism! The family we've been working with to reactivate baptized their daughter on Sunday. It´s been a blessing to see the change in them and the desire that´s grown to follow their Saviour. Aramí is a very smart girl and says a lot of wise things for a 9 year old. Out of the mouth of babes... she often reminds her mom to read the scriptures and loves to share what she's learned.
Afterwards, we had an BBQ to celebrate. We couldn't stay long but we had the chance to eat some great pork chops before we left. A spunky sister (that likes to speak with a Columbian accent even though she's Chilean) and Aramí decided to photobomb our selfie. LOL!
In our sector we have a pueblito (village) called San Ramón. We can visit there sometimes but it's quite far from Padre las Casas (our sector).
After writing last Monday, we went to a field filled with flowers close to San Ramón to take pictures with the spunky sister.
We helped with a service project Saturday morning. We pulled weeds in the garden of a less active member named Leslie. She's a really sweet girl and has a really cool plot of land with every kind of fruit tree you can imagine! Her pololo (Chilean slang for boyfriend) isn´t a member and we´ve begun teaching him a little. Alan is a musician but performs for the love of music. He doesn´t like the fame and fortune. We asked him to play a song for us but he´s a little shy so we listened to his CD instead. He´s really good!

My scripture for this week:
Mosiah 2: 41. The Lord blesses us temporally and spiritually when we keep the commandments
And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
Les quiero mucho! (Love you lots!)
Hermana Jakob
