Week 62,63,64: Hastening The Work

    Good morning friends and family! Almost been a month since my last letter so I apologize hahaha. But todo bien here in Chile! From baptisms, general conference, and being in a parade, these past few weeks sure have been ones to remember. 

      To start off I would like to share a scripture in dyc 88:73. "Behold, I will hasten my work in its time." These past few weeks I have seen way too many testimonies that now is the time where God is Hastening his work. The people are more prepared than ever. The Prophet is announcing more temples than ever. I feel so blessed to serve as a missionary during this time. I'm blessed to be a representative of Jesus Christ bringing the world his truth. 

      A week or two ago we also had the baptism of Benjamin. He's a little boy with a big testimony! It was a very spiritual experience hearing him answering the questions to the baptismal interview. It made me realize how pure and simple this gospel is. It was an incredible experience teaching him and his family. His parents aren't married so they aren't able to get baptized at this moment so pray one day they can! 

    Me and my comp really enjoyed general conference. We enjoyed watching the Saturday session sitting in the chapel by ourselves with some sopaipillas and a Pepsi hahaha. I loved the focus on Jesus Christ during conference. It shows how essential Jesus christ and his Atonement are to the plan of God and everything that we do. 

      On Sunday morning we had the oportunity to be in a parade celebrating the anniversary of Concepción. The parade was hugeee and we were there marching with our book of mormons hahaha. The parade went longer than expected and so we missed the first part of the morning session of conference. But it was fun to see all the missionaries running back to their areas with their heads down at their phones listening to Jeffery R. Holland testify of Jesus Christ on full volume hahaahaa.

    The gathering of Israel is moving forward. Jesus christ is Hastening his work. 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

      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

      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 ...
