Hey everyone!

Constanza on confirmation day

Killer week!  We had our investigator Constanza (Conni) confirmed in church on Sunday.  She was so happy!  I got to do the blessing which was nice.  It’s amazing to see the difference in her compared to when we met her.

Last Monday we went to Pablito’s house and made empanadas for Pres and Sister Catala.  The zone leaders helped too.  It was a really cool experience.  This Thursday he is going to come and work with us so we’ll show him what’s good in Valle Hermoso.  

One highlight this week was taking one of our investigators, Sefayna, to the Temple in Concepcion.  We met up with President and Hermana Catala and he taught her about the Temple.  Sefanya doesn’t speak Spanish or English.  Her sister translates and we use hand motions haha!  She’s also reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish.  Even though she doesn’t understand it she still reads it because she likes the way she feels.  She’s not progressing as much from understanding/learning as much as she is from feeling the spirit.  It’s amazing.  

We celebrated Elder Perrett’s birthday this week.  There’s a tradition in Chile to smash an egg on someone’s head when it’s their birthday.  So, I smashed an egg on his head and he took a shower.  Once he got out and got dressed Pablito smashed another egg on his head so he had to shower again haha.  

Overall, it was a really good week.  Our goal is to have 8 more baptisms in the next 3 weeks.  Elder Perrett and I are still working really hard and having a ton of fun.   I hope you are all doing well back at home!

All my love,
Elder Vincent
