And the winner is.... (May 20, 2013)


RANCAGUA!!!!!

So we had cambios today. The deciding cambios of which mission ill be in! And Im staying in Lautaro! Which means Ill be a part of the Rancagua mission!!! hahaha crazy.

buttt.... it sounds like there might still be a chance that we have one more cambio before the ACTUAL change... So, im not sure. but ill be sure to keep you updated haha. But as far as I know it looks like ill be a part of Rancagua! 

So this should probably be a short letter today. but Ive got a few things to share. 

Something funny is on tuesday night we were in the chapel for an activity with some jovenes, and while we were there some super random sketchy man came up to the door and asked for "the two gringos" because he wanted to talk to us... Turns out he was just a weird curious man that wanted to talk to us to discuss and learn why the USA uses the death penalty, what type of people receive that punishment, and what the church`s stance on it was.... hahaha. So I just told him "uhhh I dont really want to talk about this. And Im just a missionary, not the Church`s representative so I cant and im not going to speak for the church" hahaha. So I told him to ask the prophet because he`s the church`s representative, and bore my testimony how every man and woman will be judged by God after this life, and that will be the final judgement hahaha. anyways it was a really weird funny experience hahaha.

Something cool was that on Friday Elder Adamson and I were the answers to someones prayer! haha. At the very end of the night we were walking in the direction of our house trying to figure out what to do because some appointments had fallen through at the end of the night... But so we passed by the chapel and noticed it was open and so went to go check what was going on, and turns out 3 of the 4 assigned families to clean the church for that night had fallen through, and the responsibility was left to two little hermanas haha. So we walked in and they told us they needed help and were praying for some sort of help and we said "hey we dont really have anything to do!" So we helped them! haha. And she told us we were the answers to her prayers! Haha it was awesome to serve and awesome to be the answer to a sweet little hermanas prayer :D Go fight win.

and lastly, on Sunday we had the baptism of Erica!!! :D woohoo!! Everything came through and Erica was baptized! So we`re super happy about that. And it was awesome to talk to her afterwards and hear her share her thoughts and feelings and to see how awesome she felt and how happy she was and how motivated she was to continue forward and completely change her life!!! :D Elder Adamson did the baptism so it was awesome he got to baptize and do his first baptism!! :) 

Elder Adamson and I also had a fun time basically babysitting her kids during sacrament to try and keep the peace.... haha. We were actually pretty successful! We ended up lending our agendas with our pens to them so they would sit reverently and draw during sacrament hahaha. It was really funny. Go us. 

Buttt thats basically all the updates I have for this week! haha sorry to keep it short. Oh other random note... we found a didgeridoo in our house... and ive learned to play the didgeridoo a bit! :D haha. Hope the neighbors dont mind...  But thats all for now! I love you all and miss you lots! Im so glad to be converted to the true restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the joy it brings into my life. And its so awesome to see the changes and joy it brings into the lives of others! Its a true real thing. Ive learned so much about it and the plan that our Heavenly Father has for us. Ive made the commitment that Im going to be a missionary for life. The only difference is that during these two years Ive got a plaque! haha jk there are a lot of differences... haha. 

I love you all and miss you! ¡Que les vaya bien!

-Elder Heyman
