Week 65&66: For He Loveth The World

    What's up my friends and family! Just wanted to write to you all quick and give an update on the work of the Lord here in Chile! I completed 15 months as a missionary so that's crazy. I am feeling good where I am at at this point in my mission. I have been able to be an instrument in the hands of God in many ways! But it's so interesting that as a missionary one is never satisfied with the work he or she has done. We are always thinking about who next will receive the message of the restored gospel. I'm excited for the many months I have left! 

    I have loved serving here in Conce Centro. We talk with a lottttt of people daily and I have gotten to know many many different types of people. I have a strong relationship with my ward and the leaders that are here. One of my converts here claudio got the priesthood the other day and passed the sacrament! In the time I have been here I have seen great advances in the work of the Lord. We have transfers next week so we will see what happens!

    Me and my companion also had the oportunity to present in a mission conference this week! It's always fun to be in front of many missionaries and help them improve.

    Last thing is a scripture that has helped me a lot on my mission. 2 nefi 26:24 "He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation." During many times on my mission I have asked myself why Jesus christ had to suffer so badly. And this scripture is my conformation that he did it all because he loves us. He did everything according to the will of his father and according to the pure love he has for me and for you. 

   Have a great week! God lives.
-Elder Hobbs

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 ...
