Quarantine ://

 Well the whole city of Santiago just went back to phase 1 quarantine so that's kinda crusty ngl.
The last week was really good though!! We made the most out of being out of quarantine. 
We had some awesome lessons in person. 

Also kind of a yikes, but turns out we can't get people married during quarantine. Alicia will have to wait a while to be baptized, we also have another guy named Patricio who wants to be baptized and married, but he just has to wait for that too.

We are still teaching that couple we met at the park, Felipe and Elizabeth. They are super cool, and came to church again!! Felipe's cousin was able to come to one of our lessons with them.

We had an awesome lesson with a man named Brandon last night. We're helping him get ready for his baptism in July!
Also had an exchange with Elder Law the homie this week 

We had our last mission conference with president Bentley since they leave in July. My favorite part about it was a picture he showed us of a dude holding a ton of valuable things, like keys, money, books, and stuff. Then there was a rope representing the iron rod. He said that in order to follow the rod to eternal life we have to drop everything we are holding on to currently. This means everyone has to sacrifice something. When we make sacrifices for God and let him prevail, perspectives change. It's already weird seeing things that were "valuable" to me 6 months ago mean nothing to me now.

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                                             ...
