Week 1

Whattup boys, the first week of online MTC has been really good so far. I was kind of bummed that I couldn't go the real MTC at first, but I've realized that being home is better than living in the same building for six weeks with a bunch of sweaty 18 year olds. The online MTC has also kept me super busy. I have classes all day with maybe an hour or two of free time. The schedule is a little dusty because I'm the only person in my district that isn't in the Mountain Time zone, so my teachers say everything in Utah time but my canvas says stuff differently. Anyways besides that my district is really cool, and all my classes have been spiritual. I've noticed that since I have no distractions now, scripture study is more effective and I often feel like the scheduled hour isn't enough. My companion, Elder Coleman, is pretty chill he's from Utah. Apparently they started a new curriculum this year so we only speak in English the first two weeks, and then we only speak in Spanish after that. My district teachers/leaders (idk what to call them) told us that we are most likely going straight out to Chile and won't be reassigned so hopefully that works out.

Week 10

  Soooo The whole city of Santiago got downgraded to phase 1 quarantine which means we have 4 hours a week to leave the house and buy food. From what I've heard it sounds like it'll be that way for 5ish weeks, but last time they were in phase 1 it was for 5 months soooo... Anyways we are still able to teach people over the phone and have been able to find some really cool people from the area book. It's not ideal, but it's a huge blessing to even have a phone considering our mission just got smart phones within the last year. But yeah, we've just been progressing with people and Camila made it to church so when we go back to phase 2 she can be baptized! Since we were inside a lot of the week and there isn't a lot to write about I'll leave you with this,  I came across Alma 37:36-37 this week, 36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be...

We also went to the temple last week, and this weekend was  G eneral  C onference! General  Co nference is when a prophet of God preaches to the world. His name is Russel l M  Nelson. I t  was super good .  A l ot  of the people we  are  teaching watched it and said they felt the Holy  Spi rit really strongly.                   Noche de hogar with Jonathon and the family of bishop                                                          ...

  These past weeks were pretty good.  I got transferred to a new area a couple weeks ago. It's pretty much in downtown Santiago... our area has all the Chilean government buildings and tourism stuff. I've seen a couple Americans here. The majority of people here are immigrants from Venezuela, Haiti, or Peru. The work is a lot different because our area is so small and we can't talk to people in the street a whole lot because they don't live in our area. But it's really cool. I'm also training a new missionary named Elder Knudsen from Utah who just got here. It's been pretty fun.  We baptized our friends Elyzabeth and Xiomara yesterday!   Me, Elyzabeth, Xiomara, y Elder Knudsen Me and Elder Knudsen                                             ...
