Week 11

 So it looks like were going to be in quarantine for a hot minute and they will probably shut the borders down maybe idk well see.
But this week was still great,

Finding people isn't the easiest thing ever, but were making it work. It's awesome seeing the Lords hand in the work.

We are still able to teach people online which is awesome!

Alicia, who is getting baptized after quarantine is super awesome. Her husband died a couple years ago, so she's been living with another guy for the last while. She told us she is getting married this week so she can get baptized! It's super cool to see her faith and to see all the sacrifices she's made.

We have had some pretty good lessons with other people this week too.

General conference was great, our connection is horrible so we got permission to stay at some other elders apartment for the weekend to watch conference. We are really lucky to live in a time with a living prophet, the spirit he has is so strong. 

Oh yeah there was also a rat in our apartment

Alicia was kind enough to let us take a pic on zoom, but yeah not a whole lot of pics this week.

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...

  This last month was pretty good. We have been working a lot. The 18th of  S eptember was Chile's  In dependence  D ay, which is the biggest holiday of the year. We ate a lot of food that week. 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                                             ...
