Week 78&79: Daily Restoration

    What's up everyone!! These past two weeks have been incredible and im excited to catch you guys up a bit. To start we had transfers and I'm staying here in Linares! It's been an average of 94 degrees the past few days. Never felt anything like it. But luckily I'm starting to get usted to it and nothing can stop God's work! My companion Elder Ribeiro got transferred:( Definitely one of my favorite companions I've had. He taught me that we aren't anything with the holy ghost. Many times throughout the day we would pray to ask God to show us the way. And thanks to this we saw many miracles together. My new companion is Elder Zapata from Argentina! I was actually his district leader foreverrrr ago so it's super fun being together.  

     The family we have been teaching keeps progressing! The mom yessenia gets baptized this Sunday!! And the dad Francisco we found out he got baptized in santiago when he was 9 years old and we actually found his records in his old ward! So yessenia will be the only one in white but it has been an incredible experience teaching all of them. In every lesson we have with them we are 100% focused on the temple and that's where they both need to be. Yessenia has her baptism interview tomorrow so pray everything goes well! 

      The restoration of the gospel is the most amazing demonstration of God's love for his children. It is definitely my favorite lesson to teach here in the mission. When the friends we teach have that click and the puzzle starts making sense, it's one of the greatest feelings ever. I will never get tired of testifying about God's restored church. I will never stop doing the spiritual work to have a daily restoration. Having a daily infusion of heavenly light like Elder Uchtdorf shared in a talk awhile back. I pray daily that God will strengthen my testimony about the restoration. And as of now he has done so!! I love you all. Thanks for all the love and support! 
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 ...
