We Can Help You With That!

We found real milk!

Holaaaaaaaa! What a wonderful week!

First of all, the Concepción Chile temple was dedicated and it was so awesome to be a little baby part of it! By a little part of it, I mean watching the broadcast from a chapel here in Santiago, BUT STILL! It was the 160th temple to be dedicated. I think that is amazing. Now, fun fact, 85% of all members of the church are within 200 miles of a temple. What a blessing! Something Elder Stevenson said in his talk is that the world was created so that man could be given the power from God to seal families. Families are so incredibly important - to us AND to Heavenly Father - and desperately need the blessings of the temple. I have been able to feel the power of these blessings my whole life, but especially now as I am far from my own cute family and sharing this powerful message everyday. I am grateful that God has given man His power to be able to unite families for eternity. That is truly a reason to rejoice!

AND we have so many friends that are so happy to be learning about the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!!! 

There is Patricio, the cutest little grandpa who started out coming to our English class and now he's learning English and gospel truths. His wife passed away and he especially likes that we have the opportunity to live with our families for eternity. 

There is Franco, whose brother was baptized awhile ago (I think I have mentioned him?). This week we walked into his house and he said "Hermanas, creo que voy a hacerme Mormón!" Translation: "Sisters, I believe I'm going to make myself a Mormon!" Correction: "Sisters, I believe I am going to make myself a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!". Listo Franco, we can help you with thatI 

We have Pablo who was a little lost before but he is doing everything in his power to make changes in his life now! 

We have Lindsay who is so sweet and so great and told us, "Without a doubt, I am getting baptized before the year's end!"

I could keep going for quite awhile, honestly, there are so many amazing people here, but what I want to point out is that HOLY COW I have a testimony that the work truly is hastening and the Lord is preparing His children to receive the message of the restored gospel. He wants everyone to hear it!! Your uncle, your neighbor, your friend, your mom, literally everyone. And he uses us as His messengers. Not just missionaries, ALL OF US. So get on out there and share your testimony! A member told us yesterday "I cant read the scriptures too much anymore, and if you ask me a question about the gospel, I might even answer it wrong, but I have my faith, and I cannot deny the blessings that I have received from my Heavenly Father through this gospel." Maybe we don't know everything yet, but we have our testimonies and we should never be afraid to express and share them with those around us.

I love y'all so much! I hope you're dancing and smiling and happy. Hug your mom or make cookies for your neighbor this week. O los dos! You decide!

Besitos! Un abrazo grande!

Love, Hermana Siebach
