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!

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.
