6 meses

Holaaa chonchitos 

I hit 6 months last week! Time has been flying by super quick. After being here since March I finally went to church in person!! (Well kinda nobody told us we had to sign up for it beforehand because only a certain amount of people are allowed to go, so we left after seeing the sign up sheet) luckily our investigators were going to watch on zoom. For sure next week tho. We are also allowed to have lunch inside at members which is pretty hype. 

I've had a lot of unique challenges in the last 6 months making the work hard at times, but it's made my desire to follow Jesus Christ so much stronger. 

We taught a man this week named Jorge. He requested a book of Mormon study with us. Mans is also a bible wizard. Like tons of people talk big game about the bible and don't know where they pull out their quotes to roast the church, but Jorge was literally quoting Genesis to Revelations. We had a lesson about the plan of salvation for over 2 hours, and his mind was blown away. I've never seen somebody so open minded too. It was just another testament to me that both the Book of Mormon and Bible enhance each other, and one doesn't replace the other.

We have a Haitian girl named Melissa who wants to be baptized, but her parents won't let her. However, we just found out this week that there is another Haitian family living a door down that were baptized in Haiti. They were super humble and nice, and told us they would love to have a lesson with us and Melissa's family. Hopefully her parents will open up a little bit 🥴. 

We ran up part of this and my legs haven't been this saucy since Matt Nelson hit me with the 16 32 4x4 special

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...

  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                                             ...
