When this super friendly black guy walks by and just smiles and waves at us. Immediately my companion and I look at each other and just felt the same thing, that we needed to talk to him. But he was already a couple of yards ahead of us, it was a little bit of an awkward distance. We probably seemed really creepy. It got to the point where he was looking over his shoulder and could totally tell we were following him so I just yelled "excuse me!" (in spanish of course) and we started talking to him. Turns out he speaks English! I was sooo happy I literally screamed! FINALLY! I told him that I have been teaching an English class every saturday and that he should come and help me teach it (cuz to be honest half of the time I dont know what I'm teaching anyway) So he agreed to meet us at the supermarket an hour before the class on Saturday. A couple of days past and we hadnt heard from him, (his name is Jules) so when saturday rolled around we waited for him at the Supermarket but he never showed up. I was sooo disappointed! But as we got to the church a car pulled over next to us and Jules yelled, "Hey! Ive been looking for you two all over the place! I figured this was your church!" ha so he is basically amazing. He helped me with my class, we invited him to church on Sunday. He came. IN A SUIT. Like can he just be baptized already? ha then after church we invited him to a Family Home evening with another family in our ward and it was absolutely amazing. The testimonies of the members was exactly what he needed to hear. I felt so strongly to ask if he would be baptized in Feburary and he said YES!! So moral of the story is don't be afraid to creepily stalk people down the street because they might end up being the perfect investigadors! Also I learned the power that members have. I seriously encourage all of you to work with the missionaries and be available to help them teach an investigador! It brings such a stronger spirit then you could ever imagine!
Well, thats all....Oh! Also I experinced my first Chile rainstorm. And it was nothing like I have ever experienced in my entire life! When it rains here... it pours. literally. Buckets! It was sooo fun! I loved it! Also it was an excuse to wear my super cute rain boots so my day was made!
I love and miss you all!
Ciao!
