Help me save one more... The best for last

This week was so great! 
I just want to tell one story about a Miracle that was presented before my eyes.
So for the Zone plan we needed to do something to get some more baptisms for this month to get 100 in June. So we decided to pray everyday at 10am and 10:32pm for some specific names of people that can be baptized this month, there was a list of 20 names and only 5 had a baptismal date so we had to get working. We also planned to do a Zone fast friday to saturday. and well we saw many miracles, that now we have 12 with a baptismal date!! yeah!! 
and well 1 of these is from our sector... So saturday  about 30 minutes after ending the fast I got a call from Brother Osta, asking a couple of questions and well ending by telling me that his grand daughter wants to get baptized this next week. She will be baptized on my last day :) and well thats not the best part... She is acutally not from Chile... she flew from Orlando Florida, USA a Ginga! so that her grandpa could baptize her! and well for those of you who dont know  My dad served his mission in Orlando Florida! So my last baptism will be someone from his mission. Well God was just holding the best for last :) 
And well i can testify that Fasting works so good! when you do it with a good purpose and real intent, then God will surprise you with what he can do! 
Cool thing too that it happened on Drakes Bday! 

Was a great feeling, its what every son in this world wants is to be like their Dad.

Have a Great week! 
Next week will be my last letter.
and ill see you all Soon ;)

2 minute drill... More like 2 week drill!

​​This week was a great week! 
My name is on the Bye Board... That means got to work a little harder and faster.
But always Calm, Cool, and Collected! ;) 
Last week in the house we had the projector and so we watched the Conf for the youth!! really good! But for me at least it was really easy to do the 7 day social media fast ;) ...
I had my last ZoneConference this week. and this is my Zone! 
It was great first off cuz during our activity to finish i was just talking and then came to my mind to motivate them so came into my head a pep up talk that i watched before every game that i played, and traslated it and aplied it to the mision and wow the Spirit was sooo strong!! 
Also cuz it was my last one, to start the missionaries that are going home give there testimony and well I was the only one thankfully. So i got to do that, never thought that that day would come, seeing so many do the same, then it was my turn. And when I sat down it was Presidents turn to teach us and 
I will never forget the words that he said about me... almost cried :) ;)
Also in my interview! :) 
Our apartment almost exploded one day haha from a gas leek! 
The circus put their tents right by our church! haha They wanted the event to be more spiritual! haha 
Sweet activity in the ward this week!
 
We went to the Beach today as a District!! 
​​Pretty fun! 
This week i also got to Train the Stake leaders about how we can work together to prepare us for the Temple! with Hmo. Hidalgo from our ward and also Prez Catala! 

Thanks 
Have a great week!

Record Broken.... Again

Well it was another wonderfull week! 
We taught 62 lessones this week! that is the most i have ever done in my whole mission! But it was soo great! Cuz we found so many great people! 
Kept working with Natalia and now her kids! 
but this week was awesome! So here in our mission you can find someone and baptize them in 4 weeks. and with that in mind Saturday at night was like my last night to find someone and baptize them before i go and well walking Saturday in the night knocking and talking with everyone possible, we came to one street and there was a lady just outside her house chilling and so we talked with her and in a little bit her family all got there and they invited us in cuz it was cold, so we went in. and they gave us some hot chocolate and eggs and bread and cookies! once! was good then we shared a little bit and well it touched one of them so much that the next morning when we called to see if they were coming she said well im just putting the clothes on my son and getting ready! :) but she lives closer to a other chapel so she just went to that one but couldnt find it so she just went to a random church :) but the next week we are going to look for her :)
The next story is that I did a fast to see a miracle for someone to just come to church ready, and well there was a girl named Ana that saw our Church and said she wanted to go so she taled to one of her friends who is a member and came and it couldnt have been more perfect cuz then the Gospel Principals was on Baptism and well after that we took her to the pila and now wants to get baptized! :) so now is getting ready for the 23rd of June :) 
Great week! 
Hope you all have a good one too!

Make Islands!

Well this week was a great one! We had a plan de Zone that was Volcano T-Sur! 
Because we needed an EXPLOTION!! And as the lava(effort from missionary) explodes and has contact with the water(baptism) it makes and island(strong member)! so we were working hard with that in mind and well I wanted enough islands in the zone to make a country like The Philipines but we werent that lucky but we had to stick with a state like Hawaii! haha 
In our sector this week we found soooo many great poeple and families! 
But one of them came through and went to church her name is Natalia and well we found her just walking down the street one day at like 4 in the afternoon and well i felt prompted to knock on a surtain door but i thought to myself but ive already talked with this family and they are all into drugs and soooo, but then the spirit said Just Do it! and then i yelled alo! and at first the dad came out and said "no no no!" but their was someone that was just visiting right at that exact time that in the background saw us and came running out, and at first i thought she was a little taken with the drugs but then i realized that she needed us and was asking for help to change her life because just the night before her niece had just died at the age of 2. so with the BoM in hand shared some scriptures. And after that she said "I know that you are sent from the heavans, and I will do what ever you say, If you ask me to go to your church i will go to your church, if you ask me to stop smoking i will stop." and well she keeps her promise and came to church and now is preparing herself to be baptized the 16th of June! :) but she didnt come olone to church she also brought her less-active sister! and at church the gospel priciples class was just right on Repentance and she cried but in a good way! and she loved The church and is going to bring her kids the next week!! 
And she also wants to learn English along the way! haha she said.
That was the good story from the week! 
and lots of other stoies happened like this in the zone! It was so great! :) 
It soo worked! :) 
The President of the Stake also asked if we could de a Zone Attack on one ward and it was sooo good cuz this ward doesnt have missionaries! and we found a whole lot of people that want to get baptized! yeah!! 

I hope you all have a wonderful awesome week! 
and that you can "Do Good"TM

So we showed a cool video and invited him to church and he wanted to go. Then we ran over to his moms house to ask if he could go and she said yes! and then on Sunday They were all there bright and early, well not really cuz it was day light savings day here so we got another hour of sleep which was Bakan! but awayways he was there then we showed him the font and now has a baptismal date for the 2nd of June!and when the member took the Fransisco back to his house he talked with the mom a little about what we did and about baptism and she loved it! so all good there!!
