Week 18: Bautismo De Ian

        Buenasssss!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying some great food. Sadly, Thanksgiving isn't really a thing here butttt I still had a great week.           I had the oportunity to baptize Ian this week. It was a super awesome experience. Both of his inactive parents came to his baptism! Also one of the speakers at the baptism talked about how parents need to be raising their kids in the gospel. It is exactly what they needed to here. I'm hoping the entire family comes to church next week. The baptism was so great hahaha right after I baptized Ian he was telling me he didn't want to get out of the water and he started swimming around. But I finallyyyy drug him out.      The night before I baptized Ian we watched Christ's baptism together. Ian was excited for his baptism but after he watched the video he was excited on a whole other level. The spirit was unreal. After I explained that he is going to...

    Buenos días from Chile! Hello fam and friends. Super grateful I get to give you guys a little update about my life in Chile every week! Thanks for all the suport and emails it means a lot fr.       My ward had stake conference this week. So all the wards in Talcahuano got together and we got to listen from one of the 70 Elder Costa. Wow what an experience that was. It was super cool to be in a chapel halfway across the world filled with faithful members of gods church. The spirit I felt there is the same spirit I feel back in Idaho. Doesn't matter what language, what country I'm in, or who the people are around me. The reunion made me think about the gathering of Israel and how incredible its going to be when all of God's children are gathered together again. Also i got to have a little conversation with Elder Costa after the meeting!        The work is moving on. Every week we are finding new people, placing more baptism dates and h...

Week 16: Happy Halloween

         Happy halloween fam and friends! Super fun week here in Talcahuano. The work is pressing on.          We put a baptismal date for Ian! He is going to be baptized November 18th which I am super hyped for. We saw a lot of progress with his family also. His dad (that's inactive) drops him off and picks him up from church every Sunday. But this Sunday instead of waiting outside in his car he came inside the church! All the members rembered him and were giving him super big hugs so I hope that made him realize the ward is going to welcome him back.         I'm seeing so many miracles out here everyday. The mission really is a incredible. Don't have much more time to share my experiences today. Got to go save some souls. Haha love you all. Have a wonderful week. God lives -Elder Hobbs
