Starting out with a bang!

Great week! 

This week we had a ton of activities and a lot of great things happen! 

First of all Esteban got baptized!!! yeah yeah!! 

The cool thing with him is well he loves to talk in English and well we taught the lessons to him in english which was kinda hard, but good! So after his baptism we gave him The Book of Mormon in engilish and he was so happy! it was awesome! 

He is 23 years old and was the one that was athiest but Jesus the Christ and The Book of Mormon changed that up! 

We also had Leadership counsel this week it was really fun and spiritual! we are focusing all in the book of mormon! I had a pretty great practice with the sword in front of everyone :) 

The week before in the temple

I made Tacos! 

Valentines got a little melted! haha 

Hope you all have a great week!

and in the cambio we taught 297 lessons!! wow! that was a lot!! 

But for the cambio I will be staying here in Bìo Bìo with Elder Bierman again! and its going to be a great cambio!! 

And well this week i forgot my adapter for my sd card so i cant put pic up! but they'll be coming the next week! :) 

And cool thing from this week would be that I left with a member to do visits from Penco and he was talking about an Elder that was in his ward a time ago and was saying how good he was but couldn't remember his name, but he said that his cousin was in the mission and I was like hmmm. Is his name Elder Smoot. and after that explained it all and he was soo happy! His name was Pablo Diaz. Was a good experience :) 

Hope you all have a good one!

February 12th, 2018
This was a great week! 

First of all I got to go back to Hualpencillo!

Natalia got baptized!! 

One of the Investigatores that I left with the other elders when i left :) 

She is 14. and her sister that died a couple of months ago motivated her to look for God and well she found the happiness and joy she was looking for :) 

Last p day watched a  movie in the house.

I had an intercambio one day and woke up and found out that i could telaport through the memories of Napoliean Dynamite to Preston Idaho haha 

Sandwich maker! 

My desk :) 

The cool thing that happened this week was well we have this one gator that is 10 years old and she wants to be baptized but her mom doesnt want to give her permision because she is evaneglica and i had tried many times when i was in Hualpencillo going to bio bio to try and convince her to let her daughter be baptized but it never worked. So we decided to let them go for awhile. Until this week we thought, Why dont we just talk all about the Relief Society with her and get her baptized first? and well we went and did it, and little did we know that her 2 sons that got baptized a little bit ago have been working with her, so when we did the invitation to come to church and she came. Then we put her with a baptismal date and she accepted! I never thought that she would since the first time i met her! But The truth never fails and never stops running! 

and now they will be baptized in March! 

Have a good week!

Great week!

Twas a great week! We had Zone conference this week and a baptism!! and new people at church! 

The Zone conference Was fun cuz i got to see Elder Evans again! both! haha

And we did an activity with the mind of an investigator.

A the guy who came to church this week was awesome because well when we met with him this week he said that he was athiest... but when we brought him to the baptismal font to put him with a date he said yes and when? "Can I do it this week?" thanks to the book Jesus the Christ and The Book of Mormon, he came to know God :)

 An Evans Sandwich

When we were filling up the font found a couple of fun things in the chapel again :) 

Hope you all have a great week!

Little bit of it all this week!

This week was a little crazy! In all aspects.

Good things:

We found a ton of people this week! and lots of really good investigators! That 3 of them went to church and have a baptismal date. 

Plus 1 other that was going to be baptized yesterday but some things happened... TBC...

But he still went to church and has fecha for Saturday! 

1 of these news we found the last sunday and found out that her dad died a little bit ago, wants to feel closer to God, and that her 2 best friends are members of the church!! yeah!! And so she came this week! 

The other one we found on saturday 2 days ago! and she was basically waiting for us to come knock on her door and invite her to come to church. because when she came out, she had a big smile on her face, and a bunch of questions! one of them being, Can I go to your church eventhough im catholic?... and well she came but she didnt come alone she came with her aunt who is also very interessted in the church and learning more! 

And something new that we do now is when news come to church we give them a little tour and we pass by the baptismal font and we put them with a date to be baptized and with the 3 news that came we went 3/3!! For the 17th of feb! 

Not so good things:...

TBC... Well we have a gator, Diego, that was going to be baptized sunday before church. 

Everything all good saturday planning everything with him for the next day. 

But our ward mission leader didnt really like the idea. So he went to his house and told him that he couldnt be baptized til the next week and changed his date. Then when we went to got get the keys to clean the font. We were informed... and well at that piont you cant do much but call and tell him that he cant do that. But we got a visit from out president sunday and had a meeting with us, the mission leader, bishop, and a member of the stake prez. and well now all is well! :) All on the same page :) 

We went to the temple today. looking really good!

A hike too! Looking at some huge fish! 

Hope you all have a great week!

4th Quarter...

Well at this point in the game it doesn't really matter what you did for the first 3 quarters. What really matters is how you finish the game. And everyone knows that in any game the 4th quarter is the most important because anything can happen. We've all seen amazing comebacks and stories in history. You just have to be focused on the prize. Then make the plans to do it. Then go and get it and put in everything that you have. And make History. So that one day you can look back and tell the truth while you say I gave it my all. 

This was great week! 

But there was one moment that stood above the rest. I was in an intercambio in Esmeralda with Elder Huyter, and we taught a lady that is deaf and mute. And it was a very powerful lesson! And well with the little sign language that I know with elder Huyter we were able to teach her! And well now she will be baptized :) 

Another day. Elder Bierman, Miller and I went to the whole Zone to put people with a baptismal date! And it was fun! 

My comp likes to mess with me in my prayers haha 

Hope you all have a Great week!

Good Week!

Wow This was a great week! 

Lots and lots of work done in a little bit of time! 

So with Elder Bierman this week we only had 4 days to work, cuz he was trained to be a new leader and we had leadership counsel and Sunday I had to take a trip to Chillan to pick up my passport! :) 

But with all that we still got 3 people to church, 3 with a baptismal date, 8 news, and 48 lessons!!¡¡

We worked so hard that Saturday at night when we knelt down to pray together in the middle of our compañionship prayer we both feel asleep and woke up at like 3 in the morning still on our knees... haha 

Something cool that we are now starting to use is the picture of the temple in our contacts and it works really well! :)

Elder Bierman

...Going to cut my hair today! dont worry haha 

Bye mi chileno amigo!

Have a good one!
