Buenas,

Pues, I got my 3rd Hijito from Antofagasta last week. His name is Elder Burton from Ogden, but he doesn’t look as gringo as the rest. He plays good soccer and his Spanish isn’t too bad por una semana en el campo ( 1 week in the field). Actually, he is a lot like my cousin Jake so we get along pretty well.

This week we did a lot of things, but 2 highlights. The first was our Christmas Service Project, We went to an Ancianato (old folks home) and sang and visited them with our Christmas hats. There was also a man there who destroyed half the Elders in our zone at chess. The other half didn’t get a chance to play. It was really awesome and fun.

The second one was that we have been teaching this Haitian couple for about 2 months and now this week we will go take out an hour so that they can get married. They will be baptized either next week or the one after. They are really awesome and I can’t wait to see them take this next step!

October 31 -November 6, 2017 Week 12

Hey Guys, Transfers were this week and I found out that I am going to .............................. .......stay. Yup I am going remain here in Arica for another 6 weeks with Elder Campos. I am actually pretty happy about it because the work is really picking up over here. We were able to baptize a super awesome family of 4 this past saturday and we have another family of 3 to baptize this Saturday . The Lord is blessing the work over here and I get to be a part of it. Sorry I don´t have a lot of time to write a whole lot, but I do want yall to know that the work is true and that families can be together forever. One of our converts received the Priesthood this Sunday and it was really cool for me because it is the next step for him to salvation and to be sealed with his family. We also were able to find some new people and also the ward is becoming super supportive. We just need mo...

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...

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.
