Week 67,68&69: Press Forward Saints

     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 and I are doing a great work in our zone. We have been praying for revelation, ideas, and for just pure miracles. We have been blessed in many ways and our zone is starting to achieve our goals!! My companion is a disciple of Jesus christ and I love him a lot. Keep praying for us! 

       This gospel is so true. I was a very happy teenager but as a missionary I have experienced what real happiness is. I have seen the difference between searching for happiness in the ways of the world and I can testify that peace and true happiness only come from living the commandments and loving our savior Jesus Christ. I invite you all to think and ponder on the joy you have received thanks to the restored gospel.
God lives
-Elder Hobbs

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 ...
