Really put the SHOW in TALENT SHOW

This week we worked hard and then Saturday night we had the branch talent show. It was actually fun! At first we were nervous because out of nowhere this group showed up and set up a bunch of expensive looking equipment and we were like, "Who invited and will be paying for them???" and turns out they’re members.... just..... not on Sundays. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They sang some traditional Chilean songs, and it was neat. Videos attached.
 We also participated for a hot second and did a stupid little act where I was the arms of Hermana Hansen while she broke eggs and mixed flour and stuff in like a little cooking thing. I dun know how to explain it well, but it was pretty funny.

Sunday, we were sitting in Sacrament meeting when in walks one of the most fliate tipos that I’ve seen. And then my companion was like, "THAT¨S ALEJANDRO!" Shouted in a whisper because we were in a reverent place. He said afterwards that he wants to change his life and he’s pretty sure that the Church is where he can do it. So he rode his bike like 5 miles to church. Alone. In the Cold. At 10:00 in the morning. Permiso - al agua por fis. Feel free to pray for him. And also Bruno, because that boy gon’ be baptized!

We worked the rest of the week. Obviously. We’re missionaries and all that.
Also a bird pooped on my companion. So rude.

One of the things I notice in my studies of the Holy Bible is that (almost always) the words Christ says to heal people are commands, which, if obeyed bring blessings and healing. Interesting. The commandments really are for our benefit. ; for example, in the miracle of the lame man healed on the Sabbath (John 5) Christ says to the man, "Rise, Take up thy bed and walk" (a command). The man could have said, "What are you crazy, I just told you I can’t walk even to the pool!?" But he decided to be obedient to Christ and got right up. Also I love the story of the blind man in John 9. So good. That guy is legendary.

Will you guys also be obedient and receive the power of Christ to become whole? Pls do it.

That is all.
