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.

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...

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.

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 sp...
