Chow Entrenamiento

Hola!  

First off here in Chile they use chow not adiós.  

First off I got a new companion!  He is awesome!  His name is Elder Hardy.  He has taught me a lot!  First off Matias got Baptized!  I am so pumped for him!  He is honestly a great example for me, and I have learned a lot about Humility, and just tons!  The Baptism service was super!  The spirit was definitly there, and he has just made a decision that will change his whole life.  I asked him how he felt and everything and he told me he felt tranquilo and after he recieved the Holy Ghost on Sunday, he was told me that he feels new and ready to continue.  He has a great friend that has really been helping him!  

So I have a funny story.  On the way to Church yesterday we picked up a investigator and he is awesome!  So we get to the Church and a member of the Bishop Presidency meets us and told us that we left the broom AKA we blew it.  So I might or might not of left the baptismal font running all night and flooded the Church, it wasnt to bad.  I honestly thought I turned it off!!!  But, I felt really bad and we helped clean up a little bit this morning, and all is well, no damage that we now off.  I still feel super bad, but hey I probably wont make that mistake a again.  

But we found a great part family yesterday, and they seem like they will really progress, so it was a little bitter sweet!  But all is well!!!

Love you all!

Elder Strate, va a salir....

Well this has been pretty good!  It is currently week 6, and I would be getting to know the cambios, by the end of next week, but we are going to Puerto Monte to hear a seventy, and Elder Strate is going to stay there.  So I will have a new companion.  I has been a blast serving with him!  I have basically finished my training, and these next couple of weeks I will have to lead the sector, in order for my new companion to know who we are teaching, and where everything is.  Elder Strate has really taught me a lot!

This week we recieved a referance from the mission office, which is super rare!  But we were able to find the referance, and he is super cool, and seems like he will really go far!!  He is from the Dominican Republic and moved here when he was 17.  

With Matias we had to change his baptism to next week, because he had guard duty this last Sunday, and wouldnt have recieved the Holy Ghost until next week.  However he is doing good and really progressing!  

Tommorow we leave to Puerto Monte, to hear an area of seventy talk!  That will be awesome!!  Other than that It has been a great week!!

I will send a picture of me, Matias, and his friend!  And a picture of our last Consejo!

Love you all!

Thanksgiving in Chile

Well obviously thanksgiving doesnt exist here, but Elder Strate and I make turkey and mashed potatoes, so its all good!  I hope all of your thanksgivings were awesome!!!  

So jumping right into the week!  Matias had a baptismal interview yesterday!  Basically he is awesome!  He is an awesome example to me!  It would be so cool to be in his position!  We showed him the baptismal fount yesterday and the first word that came out of his mouth was WOW!  It was awesome!  He is super cool!  You will most likely hear about a baptism next week!  

Also two nights ago we had the oportunity to teach the restoration with a family we found, it was a cool experiance!  I definilty felt the spirit!  I just need to work on teaching more clearly now.  

Also we had a FHE with the Familia Sandoval and they invited a couple of their friends, and one of them really wanted to come, but couldnt make it!  So we were knocking earlier this week and we found her!  Without a referance, and she told us that she had been wanting to hear about the Church!  How cool is that!!  

Also some of the members gave us sea lion oil, it is suppossed to help you not get sick, but the mainly gave it to us to see our reaction, it was yucky!  But they had sweets ready for me to eat after I tried it!  Also we chopped so wood like normal that was super fun!  I have a picture!  I am sorry if this is kind of scattered, but its all good!  Love You All!

I got chased by a sea lion!

So first off I got chased by a baby sea lion!  It was so much fun, really we where trying to protect it from dogs, but we think it came up the river and got lost in some of the smaller rivers by our casa.  But it chased me, it was pretty cool!  I have pictures!

The other day we had a Noche De Hogar (fhe)  with a less active family, right now they are working towards the Temple!  It is awesome!  They are super cool, and yesterday they set up a noche de hogar with some of their friends!  Super Cool!  

Then I had an inter cambio with Elder Godoy, and I was able to talk to him. it was awesome!  Also we have a investigator with a baptismal interview this saturday!  He is a awesome!  I am short on time so basically we had some good contacts and stuff!

What's Up?

Hola!

This week has been great I am just going to jump right into it!  This week after one of our citas was dropped, we felt as if we should go pass by a Investigator who we thought wouldnt be home, because of his job.  He is a Carbinero or a police man.  So it is super hard to find him.  But we went and found him!  It was great!  The spirit was super strong and he is a really good guy!  

Then with Fabian and Catholine, they gave us once.  I dont even understand why they call it once if they eat at like 7 at night.  But we taught them after about the Word of Wisdom, it was a little hard for them to get, but they are going to pray about it!  They are super good people!  

Then we meet with Matias yesterday and he is super pumped to be baptised, he is awesome!  Also earlier this week we found a new family to teach!  We taught them the first lesson and the spirit was super strong and yeah they are awesome!  Then yesterday we were knocking and we went to a future investigators house, and he was super receptive to talk with us, but he is agnostic.  He is super cool though and a really nice, and funny guy!  So we have a return appointment with him.  

Other than that it has been a super good weak!  I was thinking about something.  It is crazy how little things that we sometimes forget can change us, therefore we may see them as little when they can change our whole course!  I have love the mission it is super Awesome!

Great Week

Well I dont know what to say other than this week has been great!  

Cool experience I dont know if I talked about this last week, but as a mission we had a fast for a family that wanted to get married, because the registro civil was in paro.  So guess what?  Of course the registro civil is no longer in paro!  How cool!  

Another thing that is cool is that we found a new family that committed to being baptized!!  I strongly believe that they have truly been prepared!  Of course there is still more to teach, but they are an awesome family and I have learned a lot from them!  Whenever we walk into their house we can feel the Spirit, they have been searching for a while.  The wife told us that she had been looking for a while for the truth, and that she feels the Spirit when we share with their family.  It is awesome!  We have spent a lot of time knocking and contacting which has been fun as well!  We also had a oportunity to talk with Matias, the soldier yesterday.  He is awesome!  We didnt have much time to talk with him, but he seems to be doing awesome!  

On Saturday and Sunday we had a district conferance.  It was cool and President Obeso came, and had interviews with us that was a riot!  He is super cool!  We had a good converstaion, but it was super short because he had a meeting right after!

However I learned a lot!  One thing I started to work on the begining of my senior year was spending less time on social media, or my phone.  I have really realized the blessing of focussing all of my time on the Obra Misional!  It has been a riot, really I wish I would have listened to more conferance talks and such before!  It is a blessings to have that opportunity I have found that I often took for granted.  Love you All!
