January 8 - January 14, 2019

Well, the thing is that the weeks just pass by so quickly that I really honestly don't remember a whole lot. Something cool this week is that we have a new schedule where we eat lunch at 1 instead of 2 and we do practices and study from 2-3 and then idioma ( language study) from 3-330. It makes everything flow a lot smoother and I like it. We found 56 new investigators this week. but only 2 came to church :( Thats the hardest part to get people to fulfill on their commitments. But it is part of the fun. I also am now able to write a little bit more in my journal. I had an interview with Presidente this week and it was really good. Elder Baines is super good, and we get along well.

We decided to hike the anchor today for preparation day. You can't really see it in any of the photos. It's like the Y of Antofagasta but it really only took like 30 minutes to get up there.

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

Sorry to always be writing emails that are not terribly detailed. I have been super tired this past week. It was really good but crazy. Got to go on several intercambios this week and I made a goal to try to take a picture on each one but I wasn't super great at remembering so that's what the selfies are. We were also super blessed to baptize Marleny and her family. It was a close small service that was one to remember. It was a miracle to watch because it was just a ton of resistencia with her situation but we saw miracles. On Sunday night we did a zone attack in one of the sectors that are by the beach so that is that photo. It was a little overcast and not a lot of gente, but we did contact this really cool Brazilian guy. We have a Brazilian elder in our zone and we are always trying to talk with him in Portugese. I am not to good at remembering stuff but it's common to here in the zone Duda bain (All Good) Sorry to all those that speak Portugese because

Oct. 24 -October 30, 2017 Week 11

Hello all. It has been quite the week. I had the chance to do everything as the penultimate week of my training. Next week we have cambios and there is a chance that I may get transferred. Who knows where. The only thing is if I move, I have to leave a lot of the food I bought today in the Pension. I did buy peanut butter today and it is very expensive. I will be taking that in my suitcase but the rest will stay. We are working super hard this week to do all we can to leave the sector in a good place if we leave. Today for Pday we went to go see the Mummies that are here in a museum. Apparently they are the oldest in the World. Who knew? It was actually nice to go see them because the museum is more up in the valley and there is actually a lot more green there. It didnt feel like we were in the desert anymore. This week we also finished teaching a family for baptism next Saturday and afterwards we got to see and hold the llama that they had purchased th
