Weeks 5&6

Hola amigos. My last day of MTC ended on Friday, and it went really well. I had a ton of good experiences and my district was really fun. I have been able to grow a lot closer to Christ the last six weeks, and be more focused on my purpose. I am very much ready to leave next week though. I have been able to study the books of Moses while in the MTC and the biggest takeaway I got was obedience.


Deuternonomy 30:16 says, "In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in thy ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgements, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to posses it."

 The Isrealites were blessed with so many miracles when they were obedient to the Lord's commandments. When I've been obedient i have noticed blessings in my own life, and I know that'll be important for the rest of my mission and after.

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                                             ...
