Week 40: Hit The Tride

     What's up everyone! Love and miss u all. Had a wonderful chill week here in Tomé. First off got bit by a dog for the first time on the mission. I would have thought it woulda happened earlier hahaha. The next day we had to track down the dog and find out if it had it's rabies vaccines. The man said he thinks so but doesn't remember lol. So pray for me. 


        Me and my companion Elder Gonzalez are hitting our stride. We are getting close to the end of this transfer and we are doing great. We are teaching very very well together and we are clicking on a lot of levels. We put one of our friends on date for the 4th! Her name is Sonya and she has a cute 6 year old daughter. We contacted her in the street and the second lesson she accepted the baptismal date. One thing I've realized about the mission is that we are here to help people come unto christ and the way we do that is through baptism. In preach my gospel there is a part that says " We must place the covenant and ordinance of baptism and the confirmation in the minds and hearts of ourselves and those we teach using the Book of Mormon as the key to the conversion of families." We cant put the covenant of baptism in the hearts of our investigators if its not in our own heart. That has been our focus lately and we are seeing good fruits of it. 


        Over all was a super chill week. Time is super crazy out here. Days are long weeks are short. The sister missionaries that got to Chile with me are already half way done with their mission. So nuts. We have seen so many miracles this transfer. Me and Elder Gonzalez are hoping we can stay one more transfer together. I'm gonna miss his Mexican cooking hahaha. This church is true. 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 ...
