Week 19&20: Temple Of Concepción

      Buenos díasssss! Que tal amigos. Haha hope everyone is doing great. I miss you all. Super fun past few weeks here in Talcahuano. The work is non stop. Every week we grind, get a pday to rest then the grind starts all over. I love it. Elder Randall and I have been killing it lately. We are raising our weekly goals higher and higher and we keep seeing miracles. Little update on Ian quick. Every since he got baptized his family has changed so much. The first lesson we had after his baptism was such a cool experience. The entire vibe of his house felt different. His parents are so much happier and i can just tell every aspect of their lives are different. Just because a 10 year old Ian got baptized and received the holy ghost, his entire house and family completely changed for the better. Ian hasn't missed a sacrament meeting since.


      Also i got to go to the temple this week and do an endowment session! I went with Elder Gonzalez from Mexico so it was super fun to spend a day with him. The temple of Concepción is stunning. It's always an incredible experience entering into the house of the Lord. 


        Quick funny story. We had zone conference this week in Concepción. My zone Talcahuano is a 30 minute micro (mini bus) ride from Conce. Anyways we got a bunch of new boxes of books of Mormon to take back to our area. These boxes are not light lol. So after the conference my companion and I and one other companionship grabbed our heavy boxes and walked to a bus stop. These micros have little numbers so you can know which ones are which and where they go. The micro we were waiting for is 14 G. Then a micro that said 14 J shows up and Elder Fuentes tells us all that this micro will take us back to our area. So we all trust him get on bus. Long story short this micro ended up taking us to the opposite end of the city and we had to walk probably 50 miles with heavy boxes of books of Mormon. Yeah we werent too happy with Elder Fuentes hahaha. Gotta love the mission. 


       Love you all! Send prayers! God lives.

Week 48: Vamos No Mas

Image
      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 ...
