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 have the exact baptism with the same authority that Jesus christ had, i could see a change in his spirit and how ready he was to start on the covenant path.


      Also for pday we got special permission from presidente to go to this old war ship. There was a war between Peru and Chile in like 1850 and this boat was from the Peru army. And of course chile won and now they have the boat as a little museum. It was super sweet to learn all about how Chile destroyed Peru in this war hahahaha maybe next time @ElderHamblin. 
 
  
     The mission is incredible. I love you all. Till next week. God lives.

Week 48: Vamos No Mas

      Helloooo fam and friends!! Hope you are all well and enjoying summer and the warmth. Here in Chile we are freezing.        We had transfers this week and they called me as a Zone Lider! I'm super excited to get to work and help the missionaries in my zone. I also hit 11 months the other day which is crazy. Also something super funny is that I got transferred to another area but in the same city of Tomé!! It's just on the other side hahah. So I don't have to say goodbye to the ocean just yet. Also my new companion is from Peru and has 21 months in the mission so I've got a lot to learn from him.         I'm sad leaving the ward and area where I was at but I'm happy with the work I did. I felt like I really did help with  the gathering of Israel there and I'm excited to keep working. Had to say goodbye to all of my recent converts and the members which is always terrible but that's the mission for you.    ...

Week 33: Los Evangélicos

Image
      What's up everyone! Had a tough but great week in Chile. I learned a wholeeee lot. To start I better explain the title a little. Idk how I didn't realize this until this week but in my zone where I am serving there are tonsss of other churches. Every contact we had in the street people would say "soy evangélico déjame en paz" hahaha. I then started to realize that every corner here there is an Evangelist church. And these churches aren't empty they are always filled with people singing and playing their electric guitars and drums. I then was talking to a member of my ward and he told me that in 2010 there was a tsunami that wrecked all the houses and churches down by the beach. So all these people moved up on the hill and built their churches. So please pray for me that i can find some people willing to hear the restored and true gospel of Jesus Christ! Ive already been in wayyy too many Bible bashes hahahaha.      Also this week Elder Costa of the se...

Week 94-96: La Última Vuelta

Image
      Buenas tardes family and friends!! Hope all is well with you guys. Today is the first day of my last transfer. I'm staying here in the little branch of Dichato with my same companion Elder Stevenson! I'm very grateful for the opportunity I have to finish here and to do everything I can to help this branch before I go. I'm excited to get back and see the fam but I'm also not ready to leave the mission field and to take off the mission tag. As I reflect on the mission I realize it has prepared me to be a great student, a great church leader, and a great father. But the only thing I'm worried about rn is the 6 weeks I have left to represent Jesus christ here in Chile. Ánimo!!!          Our friend Miriam got baptized this week! We had a great baptism service and every member was here to support. She also already has her temple recommend and is going to the temple with the branch tomorrow!! We have also been teaching 2 families that have came to ...
