https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 8R2G5X4tVLyGa8sa9      Happy 18 de septiembre!!! It's Independece day here in Chile and it has been absolutely nutsss. It's been a long week of music, empenadas, and chilean cowboys. We had our ward party which was super fun. I never thought I'd see my president of the relief society dancing so hard on the dance floor hahaha. It was fun seeing some Chilean culture and being able to celebrate with people here.         I got a new comp named Elder Englebright! He's from st George and he's an absolute disciple of Jesus christ. I'm training him as zone líder so he's young but got a lot of potential so we are gonna be grinding. It's my first comp from the states in awhile so that's fun as well.       This church is very true. Don't have a lot more time to write but I put the link to my photos so you guys can see a little bit more of what I've been up to.  This church is very true. God lives Ether 12:2...

Week 60: Covenants

    What's up everyone! Happy to be able to write to you all. I'm really enjoying my time here in Conce Centro. God has given us many miracles so I'm excited to share a few with u all. This is our last week of the transfer so pray me and my companion Elder Araya stay together!       Our friend Claudio got baptized this week! It was so incredible seeing him make his first covenant with God. Him and his wife are incredible and might be some of my best friends hahaha. I know Claudio is gonna be a leader in the church one day.       The 18 de septiembre is coming up. It's the 4th of July but for the Chileans so everyone is getting all their decorations up and starting to have barbecues and wasting all their time drinking alcohol and dancing a Chilean dance called the Cueca. It's incredible my companion is teaching me how to dance it hahah. A great time here in Chile but me and my comp are focused on finding teaching and baptizing the people here....

Week 58&59: Aquí Andamos

     Hooooola everyone!! It's been a bit since I've written an email so I've got lots to tell. Buenooo I'll start off by telling you all about the biggest miracle that has happened here. 2 weeks ago I mentioned that we received a reference from someone that moved here from the south of chile. We found out she was an inactive member and her husband isn't a member. Long story short these last two weeks we have been visiting them everyday and he will be baptized this weekend! We went to the temple with them and they just kept asking how they can get sealed together inside. So incredible. Also while being there I ran into the young men and young women from my first area in Talcahuano which was a tender mercy for sure.        One thing not so great that happened this week is that for lunch one day we were at a members house eating some Cazuela. Here in Chile Cazuela is like a soup and they usually throw some vegetables and meats in. While I was chewing the ...
