Week 28

Hello Everyone!!

So one of the great things about my ward here in Punta Arenas is that we have a bunch of ward activities!! :) It's great! We had an activity the other week where we taught everyone how to play dodgeball (we have three "gringos" in our ward so there were lots of us to be able to explain how it works) and that was super fun! :) Then yesterday we had a Preach my Gospel activity where we (each missionary and our ward mission leader) each had a station in which we taught a concept out of preach my gospel and then did role-plays to help them apply the concepts to a real-life situation! We focused on chapter 5 of Preach my Gospel which is all about The Book of Mormon.  The part that I taught was about how we can contest people's doubts and objections with the Book of Mormon.  I chose this topic because I remember that Brother Chronis taught us very clearly how to help the investigator understand that their real doubt is not whether or not they should be able to drink alcohol (for example) but whether or not this commandment (the word of wisdom) really came from God!  When we come to know for ourselves that the prophets are called of God and receive revelation directly from him, there is no reason for us to doubt because we know that WHATEVER they say is true!  That's the beauty of the faith that we can gain in the prophets.  No matter what it is that they say, you can have a certainty that there is a reason and there is no reason to doubt :)

1. We went ice skating!! This is actually in our sector in the "Zona Franca" Super fun :)

2. this was from our activity of Preach my Gospel. The person next to Hermana Jenkins is our Ward Mission Leader.  He's only 21 years old so I swear he is another crazy Elder which makes our Correlation Meetings interesting :P Haha
