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 I just slaughtered the spelling on that.
Had a neat week as well in my studies learning about personal revelation.  When we have questions, I know that God can provide answers to help our amigos, personal questions, and anything.  Just gotta ask.  Have a great week!

 

 
Hey all,
it has been a very busy and crazy week as always in the MCA.  We started off the week super well as a zone.  Even though a lot of people had left for end of summer vacations this last week, a few started and so we are starting to see more and more people coming back.  We keep working super hard and doing a ton of interviews.  Had the oportunidad to do quite a few intercambios including one with the elders in Tocapilla which is this little town out there about 2 hours away so we had to get up at 6 in the morning to make sure my comp caught the bus. So I got to be here with Elder Stong for a day which was a blast, we found some really good people.
Worked really hard with a family Marleny y vimos some other obstacles so we were not able to do the baptism on Saturday but vamos with everything for Thursday.  Also have a few other families for this week so going to be praying for the miracles.
Here are some photos from the week of our sector, me in our sector and me working hard in the sector. Have a great week!

Sept. 26 - Oct. 2, 2017 Week 7

Hey all!   Crazy week and I don`t have a lot of time to write.  My computer that is in the internet cafe is super slow and wasted a lot of my time :) so forgive me.      I got a new comp.  He is Chilean and is 23 years old.  Turns out my 2nd or 3rd or 4 cousin, no sé, but someone related to me was the hermana that converted him.  We get along great and he really knows how to go about doing the Lord´s Errand.        Conference was super great!  I hope you all had a chance to listen to it this weekend and if not, it's on  lds.org .  Just a few highlights that I picked upe was the need to focus more on Christ.  All light comes from Christ and we really can´t develop any Christlike attribute or I  guess improve at all unless we focus on Him and act out of our desire to become more like He is.  I also learned a little bit about obedience to the commandments in my personal study this ...

Oct. 3 -Oct. 10 Week 8

Hello Everyone       I have had a great week and I hope it was the same for ya'll.  I completed 3 months in the mission last week and to celebrate I ate a delicious churasco.    Hoy día we went up to the Morro that is here in Arica and that was just fantastic.  It had some great views but I also realized how brown it is here.  There really is a limited amount of green.      I learned a lot about patience this week with myself.  I have noticed that I am still in the beginning of the mission and there is time.  I received a really personal impression from the Spirit during this week and that has given me a lot of comfort and peace.  My testimony of the fact that God knows us and helps us as we strive to develop and learn more has grown so much since coming out.  It isn´t always easy, but when it is easy I get complacent, and that is not why we are here.  We are here to grow and progress!  We ha...

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 wi...
