Hola. This week was so good! We had a baptism! Brian Muñoz! He is the smartest little 9 year old I have met. He was stoked to finally be baptized. Other news. In church yesterday I was giving a talk and there was an RM giving a talk and he had he served in Guatemala. Long story short we figured out he was the comp of dallin earl for 3 months and now he is totally willing to leave with us! We also had service filling up a HUGE truck with wet cardboard. This week we were zipping around everywhere on our bikes. Diego went to church and will be baptized Sunday night! The numbers of president changed again so now as District Leader I have to do 9 interviews every week with investigators to put goals and see how they are progressing and stuff so we have just been everywhere. My comp and I also had to come to Chillan at like 7 in the morning Thursday to get his Visa only to find out we have to come back next week. We have zone conf tomorrow and we live far away from everyone so tonight we have to go to Chillan to sleep to be there early tomorrow. Just going to say doing interviews with haitians is so funny espeically when I cannot understand their creole. ALSO LOL: this week we were invited to a member's birthday party and they wanted to learn an american dance move. I showed them and of course my favorite pants completely ripped open (like I could fit my head through the hole). There is also a dude in our ward who legit follows me around in the church. IT IS SO STRANGE AND FUNNY BC EVERYONE HAS NOTICED. We had a crab night with the ward. I had intercambios with Elder Wood (my brother in the mission). We played soccer today here in Chillan with the zone. Anyways, we are just finding bc after Brian and Diego we really do not have anybody that is progressing :/
I also feel like I always talk about the temple bc the temple open house is in FOUR WEEKS. but something I love is that we really need to always strive to have our temple recommend. If we have our temple recommend we are literally worthy enough to enter into the celestial room, which the closest thing we can reach to the celestial kingdom here on earth. I LOVE THE TEMPLE. I AM BEYOND HYPED TO GO. Also, next week we do not have church. We were informed that next week Chile has a special televised conference (I would imagine bc of the temple) so we have to travel to the stake center in Chillan in bus with the ward.

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...

Week #7

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...
