Transfer 6 week 1

This week was crazy. First off conference was amazing. Temples. Minstering. Combined Elder's Quorum. It is all so great. I love it.

This week they put the Moroni on the Concepcion temple! Also, the church announced the MTC in Chile will be closing so the people here were a little bummed.

Funny. this week i had an inetrcambio and we asked a woman if we could start the lesson by singing a hymn so she says yes and starts singing this song about the virgin mary for like 6 minutes. I was trying not to laugh bc it was so not what we expected.

My best investigators are from haiti, venezuela, and peru... lol not chile.
I finished the bom this week. I love that book. I have seriously loved immersing myself in the BOM everyday and I encourage you all to do it too. The promise of President Monson still stands that we will make better choices and have the spirit more in our lives. 

I cannot pick a fan conference talk so here are my favorites: Lynn G robbins, Larry Echo Hawk, David A Bednar, Devin G. Durant, Henry B eyring and Russel M NELSON IN PRIESTHOOD, Larry Y wilson, Dallin H oaks in sunday morning, Russell m nelson in sunday morning, Dieter F uchtdorf. They were all amzing but my very fav was Devin G Durant. I seriously felt like he was so spot on with everything about families. The Home roles really are the most important. We do not need to be at church or the the temple or with the missionaries to talk about the gospel. ANY TIME. ANY MOMENT. Also, FHE really is important. It establishes a stronger connection in the family and invites the spirit into the home. (I watched conf in english). 

IDEAS: Anyone have ideas on how to find new people other than good old talking to people in the street/parks and knocking doors (and obviously references). 

I love planting seeds. One of our investigators named Carlos told us he was meeting with the missionaries 9 years ago. They have no idea that they totally prepared the way and he really wants to be baptized. He is smoking so pray for him to stop!

NEW APOSTLES. I CALLED THAT ONE WAS GOING TO BE FROM BRAZIL.
I had an overwhelming feeling when the whole church sustained our dear prophet Russell M. Nelson. I know he is a prophet and is the mouthpiece guiding our church through Jesus Christ. WATCH CONFERENCE IF YOU DID NOT.

THE MTC- Week #5

Image
Hey peeps! This week was so insane. So first off, next time I email I will be in Chile! I leave Monday afternoon and take a Red Eye there. Also, i am officially the oldest in the MTC, which means that people see my little green sticker on my nametag and think we are so cool. It is actually kind of funny because I never felt that way about people with stickers before. We also got a new district in our zone, so me and comp had to go meet them and do a question and answer as the zone leaders. I feel like it was JUST me yesterday, so it felt super weird. My district sang in sacrament on sunday a mashup of "come, come ye saints and lead kimdñy light" and let me tell you it was bomb. We also had to plan the sacrament meeting as the ZLs and we had to choose 6 speakers and every time their name was called in sacrament they would give us a death glare like UH WHY DID YOU PICK ME. We also had to teach priesthood for the branch, so to say the least this week was busy. Something kind...

In the words of my brother in law Jeff... What´s up party people, This week was so good. We followed president´s orders and organized and cleaned out the whole area book- threw out all the people who did not go to church or did not show interest. So we went through every progress record and lesson record to see who we would save. We ended up with a pile of like 50 people to call and show up at their door. Well out of the 30 that we had time to go to this past week... about 5 have interest... and two came to church.... but he is living with a Venezuelan. We are going to talk to them this week about marriage. We are going to visit the rest this week. Yuyu came to church. She is so close to baptism ah. I really do not know how else to help her. She knows everything and wants to believe it is true and thinks it is true but she wants a yes or no answer. We have taught her she has already received her answer but she won´t accept that. We even taught her with a member psychologist who tot...

ALOHA. I miss hawaii this week as it randomly got REALLY hot. It is always cold in the morning and night but the HEAT came during the day. Ok wow I always freak out when I am writing because I always have so many things happen and I have so little time. BUT sorry no pics this week, I forogt my chord. Anyways in no specific order there are some crazy things. So missionaies dont eat dinner here. We eat a freakishly large lunch, like very large, and i swear I am going to explode after after time i eat. Andyou have to eat it all. Not gonna lie, I have stuffed some things in my pocket. So we eat at  1:30  with members and then eat a snack when we get home at  9:30 . Also today is Chile's independance day (equiv of our  4th of july ). So I guess it a law here that everyone has to have a chile flag in their window or hanging up outside or you will get a ticket, so we had to go buy one under the direction of the mish prez. BUT i was trying to learn my vocab and i acciden...
