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 meat it had a little weird texture and that's when the member told me I was eating bunny rabbit and then led me out behind the house to show me she breeds rabbits to eat them hahahha. Que loco. Also this week for pday we bought kites and flew them in the central park of Concepción. Might be a core memory for me hahaha. 


    The mission really is incredible. I can't explain all of the spiritual experiences I've had out here. I'm getting close to 14 months as a missionary which blows my mind so I'm trying to make every second count. Thank you for all the support and prayers I've received. But the jobs not finished! Love u all. 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 ...
