      What's up friends and fam!! Can't believe another 2 weeks have already gone by! It has been a very eventful 2 weeks so I'm hoping to fit in all the highlights it this short email.      To start I just had my last birthday in the mission! I turned 20 years old which is crazyyy. Some members rented out an event room on the top floor of one of the highest buildings in conce to celebrate my birthday and eat cake hahaha. Also one of my favorite families from Tomé traveled to conce to see me which was super fun! It was a wonderful bday.        Also these past few weeks we have been teaching a girl named Valery. She is 20 years old studying here in conce. Her story is very similar to joseph smith. She has a lot of faith but does not know how to practice it. She came to church with us and even accepted a baptism date but we have been seeing a lot of opposition so pray for her! We have transfers next week and I'm hoping i stay so I can see ...

     The work of the Lord presses on another week! The mission is incredible. These past few weeks have been very very espiritual. I have had a broken heart and a contrite spirit which have led me to see many miracles. I have been guided by the spirit in many ways.     3 weeks ago one afternoon we were led to Sonia. We invited here to come unto christ. She said " I will if you help me". And yesterday she was baptized and confirmed a member of the church of Jesus christ. She is 75 years old so it was a little complicated getting her emerged in the water but the 5th try we got it done hahah. We had a young man from the ward baptize her which is always so good to see. During my 16 months as a missionary I have put a great focus and effort in the youth of the wards that I've been in. I have come to understand that they are the future of this church. And most importantly future missionaries!!!               My companion an...

    What's up fam and friends! As you can see by the title my time in the city of Concepción has come to end:(      We had transfers and I have been transferred to a little city called Linares! It's the zone farthest away from the mission office and it's a little farming community. I am currently on a bus traveling to get there and I have a great view of the Andes mountains from my window!! My new companion is from Brazil and his name is Elder Ribeiro. He has 22 months in the mission and he is 23 years old so he has lots of experience with the mission and with life hahaha. I'm very thankful for the opportunity i have to work with him.       I had to say goodbye to all the recient converts and members from Conce which was very sad but I've gotten used to the sad goodbyes already hahaha. I am very happy for the work me and my companions did during our time there.  Don't have much more time but I'll let you all know next pday how Linares is...
