Last week in Valle Hermoso (again!)

Hey Guys,

Nothing too crazy happening right now!  Just working hard.  It's been challenging but I know good things are coming.  

This past week we worked really hard but didn't really see any results.  But I have a lot of faith that the Lord has a purpose for all of this.  I heard a story once of this farmer who was doing pretty well for himself.  God told him to stop farming even though he was having success and told him to spend the farming season pushing a massive boulder.  So, for the rest of the season he spent all day, every day, pushing the boulder and it wouldn't budge.  He wanted to give up, but his love for the Lord motivated him to push on.  At the end of the season, the man took a step back to see that the rock hadn't moved an inch.  Discouraged and thinking he had failed, the man complained to the Lord asking why he had commanded him to stop his work as a farmer and push a rock that never moved.  The Lord explained that it was far from failure.  Because of the man's obedience to God by pushing the rock all day, his muscles were strengthened and he now would be an even more successful farmer.

Girls night with Stephania and Soriadine

We are still teaching Soriadine from Haiti.  I really like teaching the Haitians and my Creole is getting pretty good!  We are also teaching a couple of families and some other great Chileans.  

   

Tomorrow I'm getting transferred back to my first area, Chillan, closer to the mountains.  My new companion, Elder Almeida, is from Brazil and just finished his training.  I’m excited for this new opportunity.

I hope you all had a chance to watch General Conference.  It was awesome.  Really edifying and really spiritual.  

Please send prayers this way.  I love you all,

Elder Vincent

Me speaking creole. I tried to speak in English for a sec but couldn't really do it haha.  I tried to say check my Creole but half came out in Spanish!
