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.

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...

Final week of the transfer happening. Looking like there might be some changes in my companionship. We had a really goo week working and finding some new people. We finally got a couple to come to church that we have been working with. and we had 2 baptisms! TA The weather has been pretty brutal. Cold showers are now my best friend and I hate cold water. Elder Baines and I decided for lack of people in the street to knock some doors and ask for water as a contact method. Everyone rejected us but they all gave us some much needed drinks. It can be a little sketchy because the water here is loaded with heavy metals (copper, arsenic etc..) But my body is used to it now. Some guy even gave us an ice cream bar! It is good to know that with each rejection, it just gives us more time ot find the ones the Lord is preparing. Ran out of money because I had planned for a 4 week month instead of 5 weeks and so Elder Baines and I had a fun ...
