I am helping to rebuild this house
Well hello my family how are you? Things are going great down here we´re having a lot of fun. We had special permission from my pres to stay out late with our investigators for the new year and we had a ton of fun. They are an extremely poor family but the nicest people. We had dinner together at like 11 at night and then we went to the fireworks. We really had a great time. Here in chile every one always has a dinner like at 11 and then goes and watches the fireworks. This family also is renting this really small house and has land up on the hill and a little house but they need the house to be bigger but dont have the money. So me and my comp went halfsies and we bought what they needed. The dad started crying when we told him what we wanted to do. This morning we went to buy the supplies and we were going to build the house but its raining............and so we cant today. I really wanted to build his house with him so bad. The house that they live in is very similar to the thing we made for the horses several years ago, but inclosed. Im not kidding at all when i say they dont have much. The dad has smoked since he was 9. His dad died that year and he told me his family fell apart and just lost everything. He doesnt know how to read because he lived in the street pretty much after his dad died because his mom worked so much and he was left to himself. But it really has been amazing to see the change in him and his family. He calls us his angels that God sent him. He also told me that now i have a house to come stay in when i visit chile! They have a baptismal date the 15 him, his wife and daughter. 2 more want to get baptised too but need to get married first. Another lady that is going to get baptised on the 22 is really awesome. She had been baptised in another church and we are teaching her that for the baptism to be valid we have to recieve the holy ghost too. We read a story about that in acts 19 and we told her to pray. She also really liked the restoration movie. Well anyway she prayed and after her prayer she went to the bible and opened it up randomly and it opened to acts 1:5. It was litterally the perfect scripture for her. It says For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When she showed me that she told me. I think he answered my prayer. It really was super cool. she went to church yesterday and loved it.

So that is what is going on with us lately. I hope you are all doing great and having a great time. i love you all and wish you all a happy new year!

Love, Elder Elder
