Week 82&83: El Campo Está Blanco

Image
    Saludos desde Chile! Hope everyone has had a wonderful week. Here in Chile the field is extremely white and ready to harvest. Our friend Diego got baptized in 3 weeks of meeting him. I have a very strong testimony that God is preparing his children to hear this message!!        Other than that everything has been super chill. I'm still here Linares with my companion Elder Zapata and we are drinking lots of mate haha. He has many christlike atributos so I'm learning a lot from him. Currently we are teaching a young couple with a baby. They aren't married but after hearing our message they are willing to do everything to get married so they can be baptized! They have came to church twice as well so pray they can keep progressing and can get married!!!       This week as well we also had a Leadership council so I had to travel to Concepción which is like a 4 hour bus ride. There we talked a lot about how we are doing as a misison with o...

Week 80&81: Church Of Joy

    Hello friends and fam!! Another week gone by in the work of the Lord. I've got 2 minutes to write this so it's gonna be a brief email today.      To start Yessenia got baptized!! She and her family are very content with the step she has taken. She made a lot of sacrifices to be baptized and showed a lot of faith when the opposition came. Next step for her is get to the Temple!!!    Me and my companion Elder Zapata are enjoying every second together. We both don't have much time in the mission so we are leaving it all out there. Our friend Diego should be getting baptized this weekend! He always asks us great questions and almost every time we have a good answer. Other times we just tell him we are gonna study the tema and get back with him hahaha.      I know this is the church of Joy. I've seen way to many testimonies of it. I've found joy in my live and seen others do the same. Like Elder Kearon said "Because of the redeeming life ...

    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 ...

    Feliz Navidad!!! Y feliz año nuevo!!! A little late. I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season. Here in Linares we had a White Christmas even tho it has been like 90 degrees every day. We got to see our dear friend Priscila dressed in white for her baptism!! What a special experience that was. Definitely will be the president of the relief society one day.       For Christmas eve we spent the evening with the incredible Ortiz family. And they invited the sister missionaries and other elders as well so it was extremely fun. We made gingerbread cookies and listened to Christmas music. I felt right at home. It was a blessing being with a family for Christmas.       Unfortunately the mom and daughter that we were teaching that were about to get baptized this week got hit with a lot a lot a lot of opposition. Her family came to visit for the holidays and found out she was coming to church with us and I'm guessing told her a lottt abou...
