April 15, 2013 I need a Haircut

My hair is starting to curl. I need a haircut. haha. Super random but
it was the first thought that came to my head.

Well we had a fun week this week! Once again not much to update on.
But here it comes.

So first thing is that this past friday night we had a ward activity
put together by La Obra Misional... US! The missionaries haha. And it
was WAY fun! We did "Un Minuto para Ganar!" A "minute to win it" type
of activity/game night! And it turned out awesome! It was alot of fun
haha. We came up with some good games that were way fun and the ward
loved it. In total we had an attendance of about 30-35 people? Which
was good. We were happy with it haha. So we did that and it was
awesome. BUT the most fun part for me/us the misioneros was that at
the end of the activity each companionship did a special musical
number hahaha. But they were like funny things. So Elder Arancibia and
Elder Arèvalo did some rap to some famous spanish song. But they
obviously changed the words and made it missionary work centered. and
they all loved it haha. And then Elder Adamson and I sang 2 songs.
Both in spanish. The first one was a famous song called "Yo tengo tu
amor" But we changed the words a little bit and called it "No Tengo tu
Amor." and they all loved it and thought it was hilarious... At the
end of the first song we were "Crying" because no tenìamos su amor and
everyone was cracking up laughing. But then we did another one that we
like to call "Nosotros somos dos gringos" hahaha. And we sang to the
tune of "Baila Bamba" (I think its called?) And we sang about how were
two gringo missionaries in chile and it was really funny and everyone
was laughing alot during that song too haha. It turned out really
good! But... of course my camera doesnt work in this moment... So I
dont have a video of it. But there were people grabbing video of it
when we did it so were gonna search down who has it and get them to
pass it to us! So hopefully we get it soon! Oh and I played the guitar
for us to sing to in the songs! So of course I loved doing that :D It
was a fun successful activity!!!

anddd... thats about the only interesting that happened this week with
which I will update you haha. Soooo investigator update.

Fransisco- He`s still progressing! Slowly, but surely. We`ve gained
confidence/trust with him and so he`s opened up ALOT to us. But he`s
still somewhat difficult. haha. But we`ve come to realize that theres
a REALLY bad relationship between him and the parents... and whenever
he´s with the parents... he doesnt want anything to do with church or
us or anything with life... ha. But if his parents arent there and its
just us or if he`s with his friends or something, he`s alot better! So
thats good... but also difficult. Because he`s 12 years old. So we
cant work with him or progress with him without the help and support
of his mom as well... So its still an interesting situation that were
working with haha. But we`re sure its gonna come through. We got the
faith it will! So we`re gonna work to make it happen.

And another person is a reference that a joven from the ward gave us.
The member named Felipe just got baptized like... amost 6 months ago.
And he`s awesome! Always comes to church on his own and participates
and everything. And really really wants his friends to join him in the
church! And so he found one of his best friends named Daniela whos
really interested in the church and wants to get baptized! So she`s
come to church and is progressing. She has permission from her parents
to go to church and to be baptized and everything. So were going to
teach the family sometime to try and get them involved. But if not we
have permission to work with her towards baptism as well! So thats our
other person in this moment haha.

But other than that...... Were still on the search. But the attitudes
been a little better and the stress/frustration lower haha. So that is
good. But were still working pushing forward!

And thats about all. haha. Perdì las ganas de escribir mas... Perdon.
But! I love you all and miss you. Oh and Elder Adamson is still doing
really good! We`re now at the point where he`s kind of starting to
take over and slowly transition into "Compañero Mayor" and he`s doing
well! Like most new missionaries, his biggest challenge is the
language and simplifying his teachings! But he`s rocking it. He`s
doing real well. And were even doing a little training on the soccer
skills as well ;) hahaha. After his first 12 weeks he`s gonna be a
real chileno missionary! haha. Yeah anyway. Voy a seguir.... I love
you all and miss you lots! The lord loves you and knows you! I love
the scriptures. And the profet is called of God! He truly receives
revaltion to guide us and teach us! We`re super blessed to have a
profet.

Les amo y les extraño! Tengan una buena semana! Nos Vemos!

-Elder Heyman
