Pascua=Easter!

Well it was a good week!
We had Easter! and a Open House thing!

This is from where I study every morning :) 

For the Open Chapel that we had, we went everywhere to make it known! 

We gave out more than 500 of these invitations, we were on the radio!! (that was pretty cool!) :), we called a ton of people, a huge banner in front of the church, and invited all the members to bring at least one friend. 

Then it came to Sunday and well not as many people came as I wanted but every single person that showed up that was not a member wants to be baptized now, which is a total of 4 butI would say that it was a success! 

And a great Easter :) 

Invitations

The Banners 

So what happened was they started in the sacrament room looking at The Christous statue and listening to his voice, then to the Banners to learn a little about the history of the church, and plan of salvation, and other things :) then to the Baptism font to explain that :), then to different rooms with members explaining things about the organizations :) Then a little treat! 

Was super cool, and spiritual again! 

This is my sector... yeah yeah!!! 

Had to get the Easter baby chick pic in! 

I hope that you all have a great week!

Me and Elder Baker on the bus to Chillan! oh yeah! and it was a double decker bus!! ;) 

  New desk... haha 

Found another one! haha :) 

 

 

March Madness!!! It has begun!

Man this was a good last week! we did a lot of stuff!
Like last week of the cambio, 2 birthdays, a baptism trip, Conference with a General Authority= Elder Texiera President of Area 70 for South America!!

We had a great cambio together!

 

Oh yeah we had some fun on my birthday!! Ice cream Potatoes! 

And they bought me a pie! 

And I had to do a March Madness Bracket! 

Then Elder Webster had an investigator that wanted him to be the baptizer. So we had a fun trip going to his last sector in San Carlos! We woke up at 5 in the morning and went on really nice buses! Did everything, walked around for a little. It was a really nice city. Kinda reminded me of something like Twin Falls :) 

Then the Conference was soooo good! Elder Texiera speaks 5 languages! And had a lot of cool stories and a lot of things that as a mission we need to work on, cuz apparently we aren't doing so hot compared to other missions. But I'm pretty sure he was looking at the statistics from last year. Cuz we have improved a lot cuz of Prezidente Catala. So now we just have to keep it going! 

And well after 5 cambios and like 8 months in Chiguayante in La Pradera. With a lot done and a perfect way to start a mission, I will be leaving my first sector to go to..... SAN CARLOS B! The old sector of elder Webster! 

And my comp will be Elder Souza from Brazil! And I'm ready to go at it!

Nilvia sent some pictures this week of Elder Hope helping out with some crafts for her daughters birthday party!

 

BOOMSAKALAKAH!

Wow! It was a great week!
We had some great lessons, found some new people to teach, had some fun, more insanity, went to the GYM!, reorganized the house a little bit to make it more spacious, and we had ¡¡2 BAPTISMS and 3 CONFIRMATIONS!! yeah yeah!!

This was a great opportunity to teach these guys!
It all started out with a member just baring her testimony on the bus. When at this time Cinthia (the mom) was looking for something better in life. To start over. To be born again...
and then couple things lead to another and this member gave us her address. And we went. We taught. We testified. And now she has this second chance in life to help her family and start over clean again. And her son Nicolas has 8 years so yep :) It was so cool.

Package that got sent to the wrong side of the world... Sorry Elder Purvis haha 

And other than that not much more just one more week in the cambio, and one more week being 18! Wow! Now that's crazy!! 

Have a good week Yáll!
