Hermana Kristen Hilburn: Its Cold In Chile but Filled with Miracles

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START OFF THE LAST CHANGE OF THE MISSION. The week really wasn't all smiles and roses because I was sick the whole week, but STRANGELY ALL I CAN REMEMBER WERE ALL THE MIRACLES AND AMAZING THINGS THAT HAPPENED!!!!

So it is SO COLD HERE! Literally everyone is getting sick becuase this year in Chile is SUPER COLD. Like below 5 in Celsius. I don't know the translation but its COLD. haha So you know. colds for everyone. But THANKS TO THE COLD we were able to enter in a lot of new houses and teach a lot more due to others PITTY! WAHHOOO THANK YOU NICE CHILEANS!! We have seen a lot of great blessings. and one of them is my companion!!

Her name is Hermana Guerrero and she is a straight up BLESSING. She is from Argentina and is super fun. We have had a blast this week. She is a little bit older so she has SO MANY stories and experiences and its just been the best being with her.

The best news I have to share is that we had 2 new investigators come to church and we were also able to put a baptismal date with another investigator. We are so happy and excited to see their progress. We need a lot of prayers to help Rosa quit smoking!

We showed her a sweet video https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2009-08-33-youre-never-alone?lang=eng

that helped her understand she is not alone in this journey and that her father in heaven is there waiting at the end and cheering us all along the way.

As we watched the video with her I couldn't hold in the tears because I realized how perfect this video was for me and how I can testify that we are never alone!! This mission has really taught me that. That the Lord sends angels, picks us up when we fall and blesses us with all we need. All we need to do is trust in Him and His loving plan for us.

I know that He knows me and knows everyone of you. He loves you and knows your aches and pains. But He invites us to trust in Him and enjoy our journey becuase it will all be worth it in the end. I know that as we are faitful and trust in the Lord our lives will be filled with joy and peace. We will be able to conquer all of the challenges in our lives and come out victorious and more like our Savior and redeemer-

I know He lives family and I know He knows all of us by name. Just keep on keeping on becuase all will be well in the end.

Have a great week and always remember you're all in this Chileans prayers every night.
