 The last couple weeks have been crazy,

Our apartment had a water leak, so we moved to a different apartment for a couple weeks, which has made us super busy because we are covering 3 areas and don't live in any of them.  

We baptized a man named Carlos who was awesome, every time we asked him if he had questions during lessons he'd tell us "I just wanna be baptized".  A week later we baptized his wife, Genesis. She was against being baptized for a while because she has evangelical pastors in her family,  but we had a super long lesson with her about faith and why this church was correct. The spirit was super strong, and she was staring at the ground tearing up the whole lesson. We asked her if she would pray about her baptism at the end, and she just stared at the ground and didn't say anything for a minute, so we literally just said bye to Carlos and left. The next day she told us she wanted to be baptized. We got to go to the Temple last week too, and the members we went with rented out the rooftop of their apartment in Santiago after. 

One thing that came to my mind the last couple weeks is the aid God gives us. If it's in agreement with His will, God will help us with anything. Part of reason why we suffer is to find him.

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                                             ...
