<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The main points of
this past week where we found about 3 families........... Yes families,
something super hard to find out here! Haha we will see how the progress. Other
things that happened were a great trip into the big city right by the temple to
go get my 8th ingrown toenail removed, haha ya for sure not great, but it was
such a great time to be able to see the temple as we walked by it, I had not
seen it since I have been in the ccm, as well as I got to see some old friends, elder and
Hermana Atkins from cache valley Utah, they got into the mission the same time I
did and they will go home about the same time as well, for sure some lifelong
friends, Saturday we helped some people paint there house, and then today we had
to go do a part of elder Chaves visa, we waited in a long long long
long line for about 6 hours, just waiting to get a number to wait another hour,
behind us was a young Colombian couple, I struck up a conversation with them,
we hit all sort of topics, we talked a lot about the gospel as well as our
lives and exactly what missionaries are, they had never heard of the Mormons
before! Haha it was a great chance to explain to them who we are and we gave
them a book of Mormon, as the time went by we became great friends, honestly it
was dope! They gave us a sandwich to eat because we had no food and had been on
foot since 5 am, I got their reference and will send some missionaries to teach
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

center my creole English and Spanish became very until, I talked to a lot of Hattians,
a dude from India, and people from all around Latin America and Spain, I got
some weird looks a few times from people wondering what I was doing speaking to
all these people, but it was a great chance to talk to a lot of people and talk
to them about the gospel and learn of their culture. For example, the dude from
India shut me down when I tried to talk to him about Christ, haha but it was
great! My Colombian friends got a kick out of me talking my jaw off"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

know that conference was fire! Honestly, I have never been so stoking for conference
in my life! We set up the GCGC ( Gringo Center of General Conference) it was
lit, we had some ins with the stake presidency they let us in there nice conference
room with a big huge table and then we talked them into letting us use there HD
projector to put it </span></div>
<br />
on the wall, not to mention that we all got a ton of food
and then hooked up the conference to a super great speaker, honestly the next
best thing would of been to be there in the conference center, But apart from
the sick setup the announcements that our new president of the church made was
outstanding, and many shouts of joy were made with my patriotic friends in that
room, (as well as president nelson got us all up on our feet with the dope
changes that will take place, and not to mention that he himself got all on their
feet during the conference of the priesthood holder session,) the spirit
was very evident in that room as well all could feel it testifying a and
revealing many of the lords secrets and plans for the church in general and for
us in the mission, honestly many if not all of the talks were awe inspiring and
for sure are worth listening to over and over and over, one thing that I am so great
full that I did was last conference I downloaded all the talk from general conference
and listened to them almost every morning, I was able to really learn something
new from them every day, and I for sure will keep doing the same and invite all
of you to do so as well,<o:p></o:p><br />

new temples one of my close friends from Nicaragua Managua was there in the
other room with the Latinos, as we all united again I gave him a big hug and we
both shed some tears of joy, in that instant I could understand and see the
love and pure intent of the saints in that country, the elder has big
dream that his mom can be baptized so that his family can be sealed together,
and now there being a temple in his country makes it possible, being there in
that experience for hits the emotions, very few moments in our lives to we give
that much attention and gratitude and emotion for the blessing of the temple,
many have had such blessings for all their lives and don’t go to the temple,
many people here in Santiago have the same problem, if we don’t go to the
temple regularly we are abusing the sacred blessings that god has given us to
be with our families, we abuse that very gift that so many around the world
long for and pray for every day and night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the whole zone, but that is great, in my last interview with president this
past week it was evident that he was happy with our actions and wants us to
continue doing what we are doing. And that is exactly the opportunity that the
lord and president has given me, I could not be happier with my sector my comp
and the elders I live with, now it is about striving every day to

this week was a pretty hard week for us, we worked and worked and worked but
did not see any fruits leave from what we did this past week, we had a baptism
planned for this weekend it was for a Hattian that has been attending church
for the past while, he had his interview and all and passed, he just left us
hanging with the water in the fount, we really at this point don’t know where
he went, we called him and we went to his house but he just disappeared, so we
were pretty bombed about that, but it’s okay, I am sure we will find him this
next week,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

like were crazy, have the most fun we can but in a good way, and do the best we
can, this past week we found ourselves working a lot of hours helping the
members, 2 families going through a few very big problems, I never really
realized how the people here see this missionaries until this past week , some
of the ward members really rely on the missionaries to dig them out of their
problems and look for council and help from them, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Well this past week
was full of work and doing interviews, I was busy doing interviews for other
sectors as well as we had 2 interviews in my sector, the big news is this past
week we baptized those 2 people! It was a great baptism and very spiritual, we
had almost 40 people who showed up to watch the baptism, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The baptism was for Fabian
and Carolina, a married couple who each of 41 years old, they have 2 kids and
on is a member as of almost 2 months, they are well prepared and I feel as
though us as missionaries really didn’t do a whole lot for this, they were just
great all on their own and have attended church for over 3 months, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

has cooled off a whole ton, we have been focusing a lot about faith and how
when we are spending more time doing other things such as the interviews the
lord will provide us with the important moment of the week in finding new
people to teach. And it really is true while doing all this other stuff we
completed all that we wanted to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

came down with a really bad cold. Enough so Tuesday and Wednesday I was walking
around like a zombie, luckily, I woke up Friday morning feeling great, this

the week! Don’t know how I got sick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This past week was a
week that didn’t really go how we wanted it to but it didn’t turn out to be bad
week. Many people here were coming back from their vacations because school for
them starts back up today, we really had our hearts set on baptizing Emilio,
but god had other plans and we had to put our date with him again for 17th, we
also spent a good amount of time doing service this week, cleaning the church
and getting ready for a ward activity, it turned out good and we had 9 of our
investigators show up. Which is great! We also had our zone conference with
president this past Tuesday, and might I just say it for sure made everyone
think,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">President decided to
show us a video called the passion of Christ, it shows everything including the
brutal beating Christ received before he was crucified, this video lasted about
2 hours and by the end there was not a dry eye in all the chapel. It really put
in into perspective the sacrifice that Christ had made for us and they things
he did for us. The amount of pain and blood that was shed. We all left there
with even more of a desire to help people accept this gospel so that Christ didn’t
suffer in vain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hopefully have the baptism of Fabian, he has been attending church for a couple
of months and just been trying to quit smoking. So, we will hopefully have that
baptism this weekend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week has been
about getting doors slammed in our faces, at this point in the mission it
really doesn’t bug me all that much, although it does get tiring after being in
the hot sun contacting for a while. Sunday night I talked to my comp and I said
that we have 1 hour left to contact let’s find some people, we starting
contacting and to our surprise a few kids about 9 and 10 years old started
talking to us, one proclaiming that he knew me. About a month ago I was on
divisions and we stopped and helped a younger guy clean his car, was a super
great guy but never wanted anything more. That night we went back to his house
and we were invited in, they explained a lot to us about there, it was a family
of 8, lots of kids. We talked to them about the family. Really trying to make
our teaching super simple so that they understand. We have a date to go back on
Tuesday. It really showed me that through persistence the lord provides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Aha well
the mission has been just fine and dandy this past week. Today I decided to
take a trip to Maipu to dump off some papers and baptism stuff at the office so
I really enjoyed today seeing tons of my friends that also make their trips to
the office, as well as the new elder who lives in my house who needed
a few things so while we were waiting for him I got to talk to elder smith
who is one of the older couple missionaries here. We talked about my favorite
thing. Haha duck hunting, yes, I know all of you are probably laughing. Even though
I got tons of time here in the mission duck hunting still rolls through my
brain every now and then.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Well I guess the big
news of the week is we baptized! We finally got pate in the water after a
change of hard work. It was a great baptism and lots of members were able to
attend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As I have talked about
our goal to baptize every weekend I really have put a ton of faith in the lord
that he will make it all possible. And that as we put in more than everything
we got then the lord will bless us. This past week we worked super hard. Poor elder Chaves
was so tired every night when we got home. Haha and I was too. Through all our
work and things, I know that the people of my sector will be blessed. Really through
looking at all the people we have, all the feches we have it is starting to
come together, this weekend we should baptize a Hattian named Emilio, he is a
great guy who has a baby boy and has been married to his wife for about 2
years, he is a beast, he speaks 5 languages, all 3 that I speak as well as French
and Portugues,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of the biggest
things here is that people smoke, many of my fechas smoke, Paty was a hard-core
smoker but now doesn’t smoke at all. One of the guys who should get baptized
this next march 10th still smokes about 3 a day. We are going to verify with
him every day of the week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One thing that am
super great full for is my comp elder Chavez. He is a super great
guy. It is still hard for him with the Spanish and all but he is doing great. His
testimony really strikes me in the lessons and to be honest make me a little
emotional, elder Chaves leads me by his example and showing his
desires for the work and the love for the people, it is so great to have a comp
that is so pure in heart for the work of the lord. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

life we really need to be more in tune with the spirit, he will tell us everything,
I have felt the spirit guide me in many situations in the mission lessons
contacts everything, and I know that he will guide all of you in all the
decisions you make, many people don’t understand how much the lord really loves
them and cares about there every day life. God loves us so much, I really have
started to understand what it means to have the constant companionship of the
holy ghost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

day, I ended up participating a whole lot in church. Including confirming Patty,
giving a talk that lasted 20 minutes that the bishop sprung on me 5 minutes
before church started, as well as teaching the gospel principle class. In my
talk I talked about the importance of being self-sufficient as well as my ancestors.
In my class I talked about who Christ is and exactly what is he gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have changes, haha I got a new kid from brazil that has about 5 months in the mission,
his name is elder Chavez. And the elders that are sharing a
house with us, elder Callister left to be ZL, and elder Rita is
training, so today all the elders that are training are on divisions
in different sector in the mission, haha well the assistants thought it would
be funny to send me 4 Brazilians!!!!! Haha let’s just say today has been crazy!
But super fun, this morning for the changes I ended up having to go drop off
some elders in Peña flor my old sector and then bring some people
back, it was so dope to go to Peña flor again, and to see all the missionaries
there, I really miss hanging in Peña flor, working in that ward was really
super great, the wards mission program was great, we all working super great
with the members and the Hermana’s in that ward, talking to some of the elders I
found that several of the people I found have gotten baptized as well as a lot
of my old investigators, it makes me feel super happy to know that I truly made
a difference there, and I made some super great friends while doing it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are putting our shoulders even more to the plow, I honestly feel super great
about the work we are doing, but I found that I often look at the things that
we are doing wrong, or to say my imperfections, things I want more in the
sector or things I want to get better at, this week after listening to a talk
by elder cook on humility it made me realize a little more about how I
can be a better missionary and be a better person. As well as doctrina y
convenios section 112 is super great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are going on we have fechas lined up for starting this weekend for the next 3
weeks, I don’t want to jinx myself or anything but our goal is to baptize every

get baptized this last week because of some things but she has a date now for
this weekend,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have a whole ton to say, haha still super-hot here in the sector, enough to say
that my comp is getting so dark from the son that all the members are calling
him a hatiano, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Well this week the
work was super hard, everyone is on vacations for their last little bit of
summer break before school starts up again at the end of this months, the wards
attendance dropped down to 36 and 7 of those were our investigators! But we
still managed to get a lot of work done and be super tired at the end of the
week, our daily verification this week with patty continues, she is doing
great. As I got here in the sector she and not been taught by the missionaries
in a long time. But never the less my comp took me to here house, she wanted
very little to do with us and didn’t really listen or show much interest in the
lessons, after about 3 lessons she showed a dramatic change, her smoking went
from 20 a day to 10, and she put a table in the front of her house for when we
come to visit, she also started waiting for us with her book of Mormon and
other pamphlets every time we had a set lesson planed with her, as of today she
has 1 week without smoking and is doing great. If things go well she will be in
the water this weekend, she is super prepared, not to mention her daughter and
son in-law have helped her a lot as well, her daughter got baptized about 3
years ago and just went to the temple with her husband about 2 months ago. Patty
is so much happier now and you can see the changes she has made, it is such a
great testimony to me that when we put in our part god will help us complete
our goals and to complete what god has planned for us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been a huge blessing is our ward mission leader, his name is Lizardo, he
works super hard and come with us to teach about every other day. He helps us a
lot in cuanto the people that we teach the verification.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">hope all is going good
back in the good ole us of a, here in Chile we are still enjoying a good
grilling, or to put in simply we are getting cooked by the son! the heat
continues to rise, but when you get beat them join em, so we also have tried to
turn up the heat in the mission work,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">this past week we
spent lots and lots of time verifying and helping our investigators that we
have progress, one is a lady named Pati, her daughter es un member of the
church and paty has attented church a lot in her life, and many many
missionaries have taught her but not any have been able to really get to stop
smoking, now not to say that when we got there we did anything different, I
just know that she finally started completing with her part of the process, I
know that god has been helping her to stop smoking, this past week we made a
deal with her that we would pass every day to check on her progress, as of
about 3 weeks ago we was smoking 20 per day, yesterday she smoked one, we are
helping her prepare to be baptized on the 17th of this month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">another story is about
a lady that is dominicana, (Dominican Republic). we got to know her about 2
weeks ago, I might have mentioned her antes. they here along with a ton of
other foreigners, basically Chile is just full of people from other countries,
but it is super hard to get work here as well as the Chileans sometimes like to
take advantage of the foreigners and not treat them well. as we got to know
this couple we found that they have 5 kids still back home and are trying to
find work so they can help their kids. we took them to an activity with a
family that we are trying to reactivate and had a great time, the guy at the
end said at first her really didn’t want to come but was super glad he did,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">so, something funny,
in the house we all speak Spanish, mas o memos en English or at least we all
understand English, and we all understand and speak are learning to speak creole,
haha I have to laugh at us now because in the house we bounce back and forth
between 3 languages, it gets pretty crazy now! but it is a super cool and fun
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">in the house this last
week we had a little birthday party for one of the elders this week,
we surprised him with a cake after they got home from a long day of work. we
find ourselves in this house eating a lot together and having good family
moments. haha we really have gotten to treat each other like a family in this
whole zone, since it is a zone of all dudes we get to enjoy a few more things
like that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

just work and work then when we get to the point where we are dead we go work
some more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

teaching the people that we had gotten to know and those that had attended
church, we had another great week, just tons and tons of work, we ended the
week with less people in church or should I say they all showed up like an hour
late, and we also put 3 baptismal dates this past week, one with a Chilean one
with a Hattian who doesn’t speak Spanish and another with a lady from Republica
Dominicana, she is the most prepared person that I have ever meet, last Tuesday
when we went on splits my comp found her living in a Hattian cave (as we call
them because some houses have up to 40 Hattians living in one house, all
sharing a few bathrooms and a kitchen and about 5 Hattians per room) she has
very little time in Chile and is living with her husband while she has her kids
back in her country, they are trying to save up enough money to be able to
bring their kids to Chile, as well as her husband shows interest as well, we
have only been able to meet him once and it was for a few seconds as we were
heading to church yesterday, he could not attend because he had to go look for
a stove for their house,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is going on here! just work, everything is going pretty well, one thing that I
really have started to appreciate is the change that I can see in other people,
being able to look in their faces and see them desire the gospel and desire to
change and then accept those changes they have made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">First off, this week
we blew the scales, in the mission we have what’s is average </span>expectancy<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> of
success, meaning that the mission expects us to have at least 10 news a week, etc.,
well this week we dropped kicked that scale in the ditch and made our own, with
having 11 people in church before the sacrament started (which there was only 9
members there when church started) and having 18 people by the time
church ended, and the thing is a lot of these people have good potential for baptism
so this week the goal is to turn all of these into dates for baptism. now
with that being said, 10 of these 18 people are Hattians, my teaching skills in
creole are good, I am speaking about 65 percent creole right now, still got a little

the mission we have been talking about goals, this upcoming week we are
planning on setting a whole new ranking of goals for the sector, basically if
we thought we were working hard we are taking it up a little and are going to
work even harder, every night this week we got into just dead beat tired, so
much that I even took a nap on p day, and I never take naps, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

kicking in a little bible study with pancakes, honestly, we have eaten pancakes

has blessed us so much here, being able to learn creole, and being able to get
into the lessons that we have had, yesterday as I was sitting in sacraments
meeting thinking about the things that we can do better to have more success
and fulfill our purpose even more I started to think about why we invite people
to church and why we really go, to be honest many times through the week we
live our lives as normal people and then on Sundays put on the shirt and tie
and go talk about things in the church and really just halfway do our stuff and
our callings, I for sure have learned lots about how to be a better disciple of
Christ here on the mission, we really need to put all The effort we have into
the gospel, that includes daily changes in our lives, and being sure we are prepared
when we go to church, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to tell you the truth I love it here, it’s for sure I different part of the
mission, but the people are dope, this past week was full of working hard and
trying to get to know stuff, we honestly got a lot done this past week and
found some good people to teach, we know have 2 feches for the 27th, with a
married couple that there son got baptized a week ago, the dude just needs to quit
smoking, he has dropped his smoking habits from like 10 15 a day to about 3. so,
this week he goes with the ward on a weeklong campout and so he will have to
quite its cold turkey this week. which is what he plans on. they are super
great people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Chilling here in my
new sector Villa Sur, En Chiaravalle!!! haha this is my sixth sector in the
mission, holy cow, needless to say I have a crap ton of sectors for my time in
the mission! I am here with elder tuna, from Chile! he has like 5
months in the mission. I am his first comp outside of his trainer. I am
district leader of a district of me my comp and 2 other elders, haha wow
super small. from what I know right now my sector is very humble, with about a
50 percent population of Hattians...... haha I guess it was revelation I got
about 2 weeks ago, because about 2 weeks ago I started going ham on my language
studies and learning creole, what I lacked in Peña flor was Hattians to talk
to, now I can really just go crazy with practicing!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Needless to say, I am
stoked about my new sector, when I got to see the elder who was
leaving the sector he got super emotional about the sector, he really worked
hard to get it where it’s at, I hope that me and my comp can now take it to the
next level, I am super excited to work my butt off here, as well as I live
with one of my best friends elder Callister, I was his district
leader in san Antonio and got to know him there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my sector we baptized Estevan, it was great!!!! he honestly was one of the best
people I have ever met, and it was really obvious during the lessons with him
that the spirit was the teacher, we really didn’t do anything in particular.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As I was leaving the
sector it occurred to me the role I played in the lives of everyone, first my
converts, as I said goodbye to each one of them I could see that they were a
little worried and didn’t want me to go. the one that really meant a lot to me
was Estaban’s, as we were saying goodbye our eyes got all watery and
everything, I know there will be great things in store for the dude, as well as
for sure going to keep in contact with him. also there was a family that really
I never talked to,,,, never ate lunch with them, they were just another family
in the ward, but as I was they had me give them my info, and they really
expressed the difference I made, pondering on my mission my up and downs the
things I want to complete, really hearing that from the ward and all the people
really got to me that I made a difference, and that is all that matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

else goes all is good, still doing workouts morning and night, I am planning on
buying some more weights now that I changed comps we had to divide the set we
had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am super jacked and excited for this next year to come, yesterday was p day
and spent some time and sat down to write some goals, and tell you all what I
got a lot of work to do to complete these goals, but I am excited for the
challenge, in reality I am my own obstacle in these goals, it’s just a matter
of putting aside more time working harder and putting my desires more in line
with the lords.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

didn’t happen this week, we had to move it to this weekend because he got stuck
working on Sunday, but this is actually a blessing due to this he will change
things up at work so that he doesn’t have to work Sundays again, so all will be
good. as well as we put another baptism date with his little sister, if things
go well she will be in the water in 2 weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

ended up eating dinner at my good old friend elder Salvador’s house,
we ate there with 6 other elders, including elder fuller, it was
a super fun night to be with my buds, and then the next day we just cleaned the
house and helped elder Clark pack his backs because he leaves
tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mission Christmas party, it was great! tons of fun, we had skits that we did as
well as I had made a video that was shown in it, and we got to listen to the
church Christmas devotional, we had a gift exchange and we also got tons of
letters from people all over the world. thank you to all that participated in
that, really was such a special moment when we were all reading those cards and
we could feel the spirit so strong. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dinner with a family and opened a few gifts from them, it really amazing at how
much a lot of the members treat the missionaries, some could care less about
them but others such as this family care tons about us as missionaries, they
see the importance not only in the work but as well as in the missionaries,
they see things in us that we really can’t see. I am so great full for people
like them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

some other elders, and later that day skyped with the family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

perfect example dedicated his life to the will and plan of the father, this Christmas
season the church focused on helping the members dedicate themselves more to
the work and plan of the father, through service, I hope that you all took the
chances to serve as many opportunities as you could. and I hope you keep doing
that! even if it is in just little ways, one story that has helped me do so was
from when I was younger my dad would always look to take a grocery store cart
from someone who was putting the cart away as we were going in, one of those
small acts of service my dad found a credit card in the bottom of the cart and
returned it to the owner, just one of the right place in the right time kind of
things, but he saved that lady from a huge headache of losing something so
important, many time in my sector people and doing such things like loading up
there truck in many situations pushing a car that had broken down off the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the new year is coming up to make a goal to follow those spiritual promptings
that invite you to serve, and help people in as many ways as you possible can.
in doing so we will all become closer to Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

normal, I spent tons of time in the church building, between planning for stake
activities cleaning the church and getting ready for Hattian weddings I have
been super busy, to boil it all down there was a Hattian that lived in my
sector a while back that moved to the sector of the Hermana’s and he
finally go the papers to get married a while back, this past Friday we had the
reception and Saturday the baptism, we did lots of prep working helping make it
so everything goes good, the wedding at the end was super nice, and the part of
the baptism was a little un organized but was great as well. as I showed up to
the baptism the Herman’s told me I had to baptism the guy and my mission leader
would baptize his wife, haha so I looked for some white pants in the office,
found some and then baptized, as I didn’t have any change of clothes I went
home a little wet! haha and as I had all my clothes sitting in the bathroom
some of the little children had stolen my shoes while I was baptizing, I got
all changed then realized my shoes were gone! a few of the members helped me
locate my shoes after about 5 minutes of looking. the kids were using them as
airplanes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sup
fam?</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nothing great week in
the oven, the elders here in Peña flor are starting to blend in with
the Hattians, and I am trying to decide that the smell of cooking meat in the
streets is from us cooking or from the people actually cooking meat. haha
anyways, nothing like a good dip in the old baptismal fount to cool us off!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This past week we had
another baptism, this baptism was for a pioneer baptism in 2 ways, one because
she is the first person in her whole family who has been baptized. and she was
a product of our new reference system, as I have explained a while back we are
the firsts outside of the united states to have a system like this, one of
those references I had gotten was Claudia, a 16 year old girl that had been
attending church in another sector for some time, as of 2 weeks ago we had a
date with her for the 16th but then changed it for the 8th, so this last Friday
she got baptized then Sunday confirmed,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Also, this week we
kept the contacting going but not a whole ton of results came out of it. we did
get a few more people that might have some good potential but nothing too
promising. we also moved our baptism date with Estevan for the 30th and also
put another date with his little sister for the 30th as well. my hopes are for
at the end of this month they will have almost their whole family baptized,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Other than that, not a
whole ton has happened, I have been in the office a whole lot today just because
Hermana Woodward has me doing some video editing for the Christmas party
movie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">today will be a little
short and crazy, haha to first explain, today was a great people but crazy, we
ended up having to go on the other side of Chile, the side closest to Argentina
to a hospital, my comp needed to do a few examines,(not going to go into detail
why) but it took about 3 hours from my house to the hospital, Hermana Woodward
met us there, we spent the whole day in these hospitals working the system
trying to get everything done in one day so we didn’t have to come back another
day, today for sure was an English day, my comp speaks English so Hermana Woodward
just talked to us in English all day, we talked about everything, it was really
great to get an inside on the life of president, what he thinks of the mission
and life perspective, after talking with Hermana Woodward I realize how much
they are really just trying to run the mission exactly how the lord wants it.
and really, I get to see the results, this mission truly is being run by the lord.
after all the hospital stuff she took us out to eat at McDonalds, first time in
my mission eating McDonalds, it was super great! then after that we ended up
going with her to pick up her kids from school, it was cool to get to know one
of her kids a little bit more. these kids truly sacrifice a lot of us as
missionaries as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">as far as work is
going, haha I am loving it! don’t get me wrong last week was a rough week but
me and my comp are working, and working, and it is super great, I get along so well
with my comp, we became super great friends super-fast, I see a lot of me in
him,(haha he is the same height weight and shoe size as me) as well as he
teaches the same way as me and loves walking fast, so that’s a super great
thing! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">this week we took the
fecha with Claudia and put it for the 8th, this Friday, haha first time I have
made a fecha even close! Claudia really is ready for baptism and really
has a really bright future, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

are getting super hard to teach, especially because I am now teaching them
alone! hopefully this new Hermana from the states who just started her mission
can help me a bit. teaching English is super hard! but about 30 people come to
my class. Hermana Woodward was super impressed with this class and is going to
start sending me materials so I can teach a little better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

see the lord doing his thing in my life every day. and not even in small ways.
today we got into some examines that the next opening would have been the 19th

for a few special chances to help some people, and those chances came to me, I didn’t
have to look for them, we got to talk to a security guard about his life, how
he just had a kid and in the testing church. he just finished the book of Mormon
and wants to know more, sadly he doesn’t even live in my mission, but we found
out that there are missionaries visiting him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
anyone, on Tuesday we went to visit gravy whom we had previously had a
date with for the 25th, we walked into that lesson only having plans to read a
chapter of the book of Mormon with her, after reading we got onto the topic of
how the holy ghost responds to us, in end she told us about her getting her
answer and that she wanted to be baptized this weekend, she put her own baptismal
date. I could truly see that she was repented of her past and converted to the
gospel. <o:p></o:p><br />

lady that was cutting my hair said that it probably won’t ever go back to
brown, well I guess we finally have a person in the family that has blond hair,
at this point it’s just at the front of my hair and the lower sides, but it is spreading!

sector was a pretty difficult week to tell ya the truth, we kept working and
looking for people but never ever showed up, we followed the council of
president but still nothing, until Saturday, Saturday we did an activity in the
fairia, which is basically where everyone sells stuff on the side of the
streets like crazy, fruits ect,,, anyways, we ended up putting a stand up there
as a district, we offered free juice as well as contacted people and got over
50 people signed up for my English classes, we contacted over 200 people, and
gave away 40 liters of juice, it was very effective, after that activity we
passed by a reference that Talagante my old sector gave us, is was a 16 year
old girl that had been attending church in the Talagante ward for the past
month! as well as our retentions kids ages 12 and 27 want to be baptized and Gavy
the investigator as of a long time is finally getting her head on straight
about getting an answer about baptism, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been sun and more sun! and sunscreen! haha it has gotten hot here in Chile,

tried all types of ways to find people, we tried working smarter than harder
and then we worked hard in the ways we thought were smarter, haha ho</span></div>
<br />
nestly we
talked to a lot of people this past week, and the sad part is none of them
really turned out to be interested, it was just one of those weeks in the
mission where you just got to keep the faith going, and just keep looking for
people and talking to everyone,<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">One thing that got a
lot better this past week was that we had tons of lessons with members, and
they are resulted out super great, our fecha with Gabby is doing great, we did
move her baptismal date for the 25, there it should stay firm and she should be
baptized on that date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week was on the scripture where it says first seek to obtain my word then you
get share it. my scripture study over the past year has been like none other, I
for sure thank god for the scriptures and the studies that I have done, I love
being able to teach people, it honestly is my favorite thing to do, and I love
talking about the doctrine, lots of people here don’t like to believe anything
we say until we have scriptural doctrine to back it up. I am at the point where
I share something from the book of Mormon and then let the bible back it up.
time and time again, really, I love the feeling when the spirit testifies to
the people of what is going on, and when the people learn and grow closer to Christ
through the words of the holy ghost that come through my companion and me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been sun and more sun! and sunscreen! haha it has gotten hot here in Chile,

finding people, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tried all types of ways to find people, we tried working smarter than harder
and then we worked hard in the ways we thought were smarter, haha honestly we
talked to a lot of people this past week, and the sad part is none of them
really turned out to be interested, it was just one of those weeks in the
mission where you just got to keep the faith going, and just keep looking for
people and talking to everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lot better this past week was that we had tons of lessons with members, and
they are resulted out super great, our fecha with Gabby is doing great, we did
move her baptismal date for the 25, there it should stay firm and she should be
baptized on that date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week was on the scripture where it says first seek to obtain my word then you
get share it. my scripture study over the past year has been like none other, I
for sure thank god for the scriptures and the studies that I have done, I love
being able to teach people, it honestly is my favorite thing to do, and I love
talking about the doctrine, lots of people here don’t like to believe anything
we say until we have scriptural doctrine to back it up. I am at the point where
I share something from the book of Mormon and then let the bible back it up.
time and time again, really, I love the feeling when the spirit testifies to
the people of what is going on, and when the people learn and grow closer to Christ
through the words of the holy ghost that come through my companion and me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the 70 as well, it was a super short little meeting with them, it was also
with the south mission, there was a little over 400 missionaries there, in the conference

about talking with everyone, president Woodward ever since I have gotten in the
mission has a quote, hablor con todos, or talk with everyone, throughout the
week in my personal studies of the new testament I have found myself looking at
how Christ teaches and finds people to teach, and I noticed, he never had to
look for people, there were always people around him and he made it his work to
talk to them, one example is the woman at the water well, Christ was just there
trying to get a drink and started teaching her, in the mission we are taught to
talk to people about a third object first, like a conversation starter, Christ’s
does just that, then he relates what is going on here to what he wants to
teach, in this example he says ( those that drink of this water will satisfy their
thirst for only a moment, but he that trinket of the living water shall never
thirst) how amazing of a way to teach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last week I talked
about a guy named Jose who we had a great lesson with him, this week we had
another lesson with him, but first let me give you a little background on him, Jose
is the kind of guy who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room, he studies a
ton, he is very smart, through teaching I found that he believe that he can
come through the truth by thinking and researching, in part that is somewhat
true, but on somewhat, during this lesson we brought a young member who got
home from his mission like 1 year ago, as we were there teaching we all were in
tune with the spirit and teaching what we needed to be, the idea was that we
were trying to get him to pray, to pray and ask god if these things were true,
time and time again he has said ( these Mormons have another idea, I think they
are close) but he would never ask god if it was true, which brings out my other
point I learned from the conference, it doesn’t matter who is the smartest guy
in the room, but the smartest guy isn’t the guy who studies a ton, it’s the guy
who is smart enough to know that god is smarter, and to ask god. as I pondered
upon these words I thought about how really we can study until we drop, we can
earn doctors degrees and spend years studying bible, heck we can spend more
than a lifetime studying the life of Jesus Christ, but if we aren’t humble
enough to get off our high horse and kneel down and pray and ask god if these
things are true, we can never know... no matter how much we study, the holy
ghost is an essential part in our conversion, it is impossible to know of the truths
of the gospel without the confirmation of the holy ghost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the challenge of president we put our motors in gear and talked to everyone
and tried our best to find new people, and we did, but one thing I learned
about talking to everyone is explained good in Mathew chapter 14, where Christ
walks on water, but in this part my mind focused a lot of what peter did, about
his faith, peter had such faith to first step off the boat, but he needed Christ
to save him and help him the rest of the way, back to the boat, first just take
a minute, think of that imagery, what a scene,,,,,, in verse 31 it talks about
how he could have such little faith, pondering upon this I thought of
contacting, stepping off the boat to talk to literally everyone, and then
letting the spirit guide us through the contacts, how little of faith I had at
many moment to not talk to some people because of what every reason I tried to
put in my head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pretty good week, not as much time to work as normal but it was good, this past
week we had a conference with president Woodward, I really enjoy it when we
have conferences with him, we talked about talking with everyone and how we can
really fine tune our skills, our mission is also starting many different
programs that I won’t go into detail on but we are the only mission outside of
the united states that has these types of programs, as well as president Woodward
started a way that we give a card to someone and they can talk to our mission
offices and receive videos and stuff through social media, this stuff is pretty
old tec for the states but out here is pretty high tec. in these conferences
with president I really get so much out of them and for sure feel of the spirit
testifying of presidents words. as well as we have a pretty good time talking
to all of our friends and stuff as well as president always has a good story
and a few good jokes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been working a ton with a girl named gabby, she is 30 years old, she doesn’t
have use of her right arm due to a huge car accident that put her in a be for
about 4 years, she is at a point in the life where she is trying to change
everything, and progress, as well as last Sunday her grandpa who raised her
passed away, she now has a baptismal date for the 18th of November,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lesson with a guy named Jose, who is a supposed super smart guy, I found that
he really likes to use big words and all but really he has all the same stuff
as a normal Chilean, we showed up at his house and he starts asking a question
of how we are all going to be redeemed from the fall, now my knowledge of the
scriptures has grown a lot on the mission but I didn’t know where to find a
scripture to really answered his question, upon opening my scriptures I the
spirit guided me to look in alma 34, sure enough there it was, after explaining
the whole plan of salvation ( the guy even brought out a huge whiteboard to
draw it out) he agreed that this was plan god has. such an amazing moment to
remember that the spirit really is the teacher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mission and the south mission are getting together this Saturday, my mission
has never even gotten all together so it will be interesting to see what it
looks like with 500 missionaries in one spot,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

past week was a great getting to know the sector week, there are tons of people
here that are super great, including that we had some lessons this past week
that were lessons that missionaries dream about, and finding people like
familes of 7 that are married!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

super great ward, they are really trying to work hard and get all the members
to focus on working with us, they have lots of trust in us and we need to make
sure we take that all and use it to our advantage,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

am pretty happy, happy with the ward and the investigators, they all seem to
have great potential, the focus now is to help them repent and help them desire
to be baptized, after a wise guy told me that I need to focus more on helping
people repent I found my lessons to be a lot more successful as well as we are
able to find people that really want to change and that we can help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

heading to an activity with some investigators at around 830 at night, we found
a little kitten up on some power lines, long story short I caught a cat from
free falling and hitting the pavement, ha-ha it was a good trust building
moment for all the neighbors there to see that missionaries are dope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
