Dec. 10-17

This week was a little off, we didn't really quite have all the success that we were hoping for both in the sector and in the district, but we pulled through.  Learning to enjoy hard times as well as the good times. So I have to say there really isn't too much to report for things that happened this week. I did a few interviews that went really well and we confirmed our friend Roberto.  He is making slow but steady progress in the gospel and its cool to see the change.

We have Christmas Conference on
 Thursday so looking forward to that. Yes, Arica is coming down so I will be seeing some more old friends. Then we have transfers the 31 of December so we will be seeing a new cambio for the new year.  It's kind of up in the air if I will stay or not because I am training and it's not unheard of to have 5 transfers, but at the same time I could be going.  I am just not going to say anything about it and put it in the hands of the Lord.
Today we went up to Hospicio as a district, took some photos and had fun.





Happy Birthday Dad! We ate cake here in your favor. Fun fact:  Elder Burton's mom also shares your birthday so it was a double reason to celebrate. The members gave us money for lunch that day and the other elders made plans with a menos activo familia so the money became for the 2 of us and we feasted.  Really enjoyed the picture of the cake.  It made me laugh.

May 15-May 21, 2018 and May 22 -May 27, 2018

May15- May 21 Super crazy and I am running short on time so sorry! Probably the biggest news is that Elder Turner and I received special Transfers!  and it is not because we did anything bad. My comp is going to open up a new sector in Calama which is way hotter and colder than any other city in the mission.  It is like 4-5 thousand meters above sea level.  My new comp is coming in from another mission (south of Chile) and is from Argentina.  He is really new in the mission and I get the opportunity to train him de nuevo.  I am excited and a little nervous.  Its a big responsibility but I look forward to the challenge.  One thing Elder Turner and I decided to start saying is One degree more.  Whats the difference between water at 99 and 100 degrees?  It boils and so we are wanting to give just that little extra effort.  Should be a neat experience. So today was also my birthday and we were able to visit the Esmeralda boat today because today is also a Chilean holiday that mark

Sept 5-Sept 11 2017 Week 4

Hey Family! This week has really flown by.  I am better with my health and everything as of  Wednesday .  I was told that a lot of it was stress related.  I am not sure how true that is, but it is stressful.  I stayed in and rested the rest of last Pday and also for a lot of the day  on Tuesday .  By  Wednesday  everything was good.  Last Monday we actually had an earthquake.  It was small but we definitely felt it, it was pretty awesome.  And also  on Tuesday  and this morning it rained.  Super little as in it was only flecks of water in the air but still rain.  We see on the news a lot about the hurricanes hitting the states.  It looks pretty bad but I am glad you are safe. This week was difficult too, but I feel like I learned a lot.  My comp had us go on exchanges twice this week, once with members and the second time with the district leader.  I was really freaked out about it in the beginning of each because it meant I had to lead what we were doing in our area.  My co

Sept 19-25, 2017 Week 6

Hey all, Sorry I haven´t written recently.  It has been a really busy couple of weeks.  My language is improving slowly but surely and I even have a hard time saying the english equivalent of some words.  We didn´t have anyone to cook lunch for us this week so we had to cook for ourselves. My comp can cook pretty well and  on Wednesday  he asked me to fry some chicken and cook rice.  I failed at both.  The rice was hard because I didn´t add enough water.  Also all that I knew for cooking chicken is to put in in the oil.  Apparently you have to score it too so that all parts are cooked.  And the chicken here comes with the stubs of feathers in the skin and I didn´t cut those parts out.  So it was a pretty crap meal.  But ahora, I am confident 75 percent that I could do it again and have it turn out well. This gospel is true.  I have learned a lot here that I can´t even begin to describe.  I am working better with my comp and we have a baptism this week!  His name is Gabriel from
