We had cambios today! 12/16/13

We had cambios today... And there werent any changes in our sector! Soooo Elder Holt and I will be together another six weeks! And were way pumped haha. We get along SUPER well and work well too. So it will be way fun. Elder Holt is actually on his LAST cambio now haha.... So, in missionary terms, I will be "killing" Elder Holt. O sea, sending him home haha. It will be weird! Its the first time ive ever had that! 

So we had another awesome week! Theres not a TON to update you on. I do have some fotos to send though! So ill do a little bit of writing and let the fotos do more talking haha. 

So our zone and the Zone of Talcahuano Norte have received an assignment from president! And together our zones are going to sing a few christmas songs to a group of kids from i dont know where... haha. I actually dont have a ton of details on it. The other leaders do haha. But so on Tuesday we got together to practice a little bit. It was a little rough because people were trying to get too fancy and were trying to teach parts to a group of people who did not understand a thing about it and didnt have the ability to do it... haha. But so in the end we got it figured out a little bit and it looks like its going to turn out great :D haha. So that was fun. 

On tuesday or wednesday... I dont remember which. But Luis (that got baptized when i first got here) we went to visit him and his parents, and his mom had seen something about the Christmas devotional online or something. Anyway so Elder Holt and I went and downloaded the devotional onto my pendrive and then we watched the devotional with luis and his parents. So i got to see the devotional! :) (in spanish haha) it was awesome! I liked it alot. Monica (the mom) still comes to church every week... but progresses really slow. But she LOVES it. So were gonna start working with her so she can get baptized in Enero! 

Another thing is that this week they had a stake primary christmas activity. haha. And so i got asked to play the piano again to accompany the primary. So i went and did that and it was fun. The primary from each ward song a few christmas songs to los abuelitos (the grandparents) from the stake. The attendance was pretty low.... but everyone loved it! :) haha. So that was a fun little service i did. 

and lastly... On saturday we had another baptism!! :) This week Valentina was baptized! Its basically the same story as Paulita. The family was less active, so we helped them get back to church, and valentina wasnt baptized so she was baptized as well. I shall send pictures. BUT! The BEST part of the whole thing...... Was that her DAD got to baptize her! woo hoooo!!!! AND he did the confirmation!!!!! Ahhhh it was the best thing in the world haha. We were so excited for him and her and just all of them haha. ah man it for real was the best. Theyre such an awesome family haha. Theyre all so humble. Anyway. So we were really happy and excited about that. Ill send pictures!

And then on Sunday just to finish off, we had the confirmation of Valentina, AND Paula finished off her baptizm by also being confirmed in church. So we were very happy. 

And now i find myself here back on monday

I really dont have too much more to update on... haha. So to finish off Id just like to ask that everybody keeps the family Sid Vargas in their prayers. Theyre such an awesome family and they need to be baptized so bad haha. It will help their lives so much. And they want to be baptized and love chcurch and everything... but theyre just kind of hestiant on taking the step.  So if you can keep them in your prayers, asking Heavenly Father to bless them so that they make the decision to be baptized on the 28th of december! Please and thank you :) 

Sooo... thats it for this week! Im just gonna send some pictures now haha. I love and miss you all! Hope youre having an awesome month of December! Hope youre all involved in the work of salvation! Because its the work of EVERYONE! Invite everyone to learn about the gospel and to come closer to Christ! Have an awesome week!

A Crazy Stressful week with a surprise baptism! December 9, 2013

Hey everyone! Well... Once again i had a crazy week. I feel like im just going to be saying that about every week for the rest of my life haha. This week was just crazy because we had to deal with a lot of baptisms haha. He set a high goal for our zone this past month, and were way pumped to work on it and feel like were going to get it. But so this week was just crazy with trying to save a few baptisms and get some stuff straightened out... haha. anyway. Heres some notes from the week. 

On wednesday I went on a mini cambio to the sector Esmeralda to do a baptismal interview of the daughter of an active member family who had apparently not been baptized... She had no registro of her baptism and they remembered it had happened and didnt know what to do. The girl had gone inactive for a year and a half due to problems with other members and is now back in church and wanted to "start over", didnt have a registro, so.... Oh man. It was just a complicated situation haha. Anyways. So then there were problems with the bishop and he was getting angry and upset about it, and I went and talked to him while i was there on the mini cambio, and then he got mad and upset with me because i was being fuerte with him trying to solve the problem but he was not willing to work it out at all and just refused to even talk to me about it... it was stupid. It was stressful. It was annoying. And in the end it turned out that the girl didn`t even need to be baptized again, they just had to fill out a new registro. bah. 
There are still lots of little details that the church misses here in Chile so that the church can have "Crecimiento real" (in the words of Elder Gonzales (seventy)) and that is one of the problems. There are WAYYYY too many people who have no registros but were baptized, the Member List Services are just jacked up, and almost all the wards have an assistence of about 100+ or - , but have HUNDREDS of members listed. In Curicò The ward had assistence of 100 and a list of 1,700 members listed. Ridiculous. So basically we have 1,600 menos activos in our ward. A friend serving in the US recently emailed me and mentioned that in their ward they have TEN menos activos... I couldnt believe it. haha. Anyway. It was just a really frustrating annoying experience. But yes i learned lots from it.
and p.s. while i was there on the mini cambio a drunk guy like attacked me haha. He kept grabbing me and just wanted to talk to me but he kept grabbing me and putting his arm around me and all this stuff. So finally we just had to run away a little bit haha. It was funny.

Moving on... on Thursday i had another interesting experience. Eating lunches here can be a stressful experience too haha. Because the Chileans are very proud and sensitive about their food. So long story short, if you eat the food too fast, they (without asking) keep putting food on your plate. Even if you dont want it or dont have more room. And if you dont eat ALL the food, they get offended. But if you eat your food too slow, they also get offended and they assume you just dont like the food. haha... So you have to eat JUST right or else it could be problematic. SOOO on thursday  in lunch the hermana gave us a soup to start. And i like soup. And it was a great soup. It tasted really good. But im just not good at eating really hot things or really cold things because ive got a sensitive mouth i guess haha. So i was eating the soup a little to slow..... So my comp had finished his soup already and was just waiting for me to finish to they could serve the next plato... and the hermana got REALLY upset and mid spoonful (as i was bringing the spoon to my mouth) the hermana reached over, grabbed my plate, and took it away from me and said "fine if you dont like it or dont want it you dont have to eat it! We`ll just move on to the next plate!" and then grabbed her own plate and said "and im not gonna eat anymore either because now im mad!"  and i was only like halfway done with the soup! so anyway i tried to defend myself and said "no hermana i like the soup a lot! I want to eat it! Give me my plate back i want my soup!" but she refused. and we just moved onto the next plate. So. Lame. Thats never happened to me before in the mission hahah....

Then on saturday there was a baptism in the zone! Yay! And so we ended up going to the baptism. It was a woman who got baptized..... and de repente I ended up singing in the baptism! haha. I did a solo. And I said "Cuando Me Bautice" o sea "When I Am Baptized". haha. And it turned out pretty good. The service also turned out well so we were happy. 

Also on saturday morning Elder Holt and I had an awesome surprise! We were sitting in our study room studying in the morning, and all of a sudden the phone rang, and it was an hermana from the ward. So we answered and she said "Are you busy?" We answered that no, we were just studying" and she said something along the lines of "Oh good. Well elders i just wanted to call you this morning and wish you a WONDERFUL day. That you find lots of investigators, that your citas dont fall, and that the Lord blesses you lots! We love you, are grateful for your work, and we support you!" And that was all! You have NO idea how pumped up that got us hahah. It was the best thing in the world! We hung up and just stayed their open mouthed and speechless. That was ALSO the first time THAT had happened to me. But it was the best feeling ever and brought the spirit into our house so much! haha. For real. and it only took like literally 30 seconds to a minute. SO. I invite you all to take like 2 minutes out of your day, find out the local missionaries phone number, call em, and give them a little pump up message like that. Seriously it was the best ever. Youll make their day. and invite the spirit alot into their lives. And youll receive the spirit in your own life for doing it. So go do it! Thanks.

Then on Domingo we had an awesome day... We had a baptism! haha. So Paulita got baptized on sunday!!! During the week we met with them and the mom said that the original baptism date (14th of december) Wasnt going to work because not all the family members were going to be there. So... we worked things out, and decided that yesterday after church would be the best thing. So yesterday we had her baptismal service! And skipping alot of details... it was just one of the best, most spiritual, heart wrenching baptisms ive seen haha. It all turned out great and perfect and fantastic. I sang another solo in Paula`s baptism too! :) This time I sang "Yo siento su amor" o sea "I feel my saviors love". But so her family were all there and stuff.... and the spirit was there so strong in the service. haha. Theres lots of details but nothing id like to share in the email haha. So ill have to share it later. Just remind me if one day you`d like to know haha. But, ill send some pictures of the baptism to see.

And that leads me back to monday. This morning we had to wake up and be in the office early to do a practice for the christmas devocional. I was assigned to sing in a choir for the christmal devocional, and i will also be singing in a mens trio hahahaha. hahaha. I dont even know what more to say about that. But im excited and it should be fun. It practiced and it sounded good. Room for improvement..... but it sounded good :) haha. 

anyway. Ill send some pics. I love you and miss you all. Hope all is well. Enjoy the christmas season. Share the gospel with everyone! Especially now. And especially because the Lord has told us to through his prophets and apostoles. So lets be obedient and do it! Love you and miss you all. Have a great week! Hasta la proxima!

I didn`t even realize this past week was Thanksgiving... :O December 2, 2013

Hey fam. How is life? Its good to hear everyone had a good thanksgiving this past week! I literally didnt even realize it was thanksgiving this week... haha. Obviously they dont celebrate it here! There was only one moment when Elder Holt in the morning said "Hey! Its thanksgiving!" and we were surprised, said happy thanksgiving.... and thats about it haha. Oops! :P

Anyway. We had a pretty good week this week. I think. Lets see...

On Tuesday... it was dad`s birthday! haha. We had consejo de lideres on tuesday morning, so I took advantage of being with President and Sister Arrington, snapped a photo with them with a note for dad, and they let me send it to him then and there on their Ipad! woo hoo! hahaha. im pretty sure you`ve seen the photo. Ive received questions about the "Happy Birthday" sign in english that was hanging up. Well it just so happens that coincedentally it was one of the assistants birthday that day as well. And so they had decorated the office a little for his birthday! Que perfecto! Totally took advantage of that haha. But so i have no idea where they found a happy birthday sign in English! but anyway. Happy Birrthday dad! Hope you had a great one. 

A funny story from wednesday was that theres a Menos Activa family that were teaching... and they have a REALLY funny dog. They have a dog that just LOVES rocks. You can pick up cualquier rock and throw it and he just CHASES it down and grabs it and chews it and stuff. haha idk its funny. So whenever we pass by their house we always throw it a rock or two because its super funny. anyway. On wednesday the dog accidently got left outside of the gate and was just playing in the road. We were on the way to our house because we had to grab a video we had left there. So the dog saw us, recognized the blancitos, the white shirt and everything, and came flying over to us ready to play. hahaha. And so we threw a rock. It ran, fetched it, and came back, ready for another one. We kept walking.... and it kept following us. and following us, and following us. haha. So we were trying to get rid of him! So we would grab a rock, chuck it WAY far, and run really fast to try and lose it. but it KEPT finding us and following us! And it followed us all the way back to our house! haha. And so everybody saw us with the dog and lots of people were laughing and smiling because we had this dog following us wagging its tail super ready to play and stuff, and we were trying to get rid of it throwing rocks and running and stuff. haha. It was ridiculous. anyway when we went back to where we came from, it was still following us, so we went back to the members house, and called them out to come get there dog from us hahaha. 

Thursday night we had an interesting event. We played soccer with one of our investigators at the chapel to finish the night, so before we went to bed we tried to take a shower... The showers here are super funky. and to get the hot water to work, you first have to turn on the sink in the kitchen until that water gets hot, and then when that water is hot, turn on the shower, and then turn off the kitchen. haha. i dont know why its like that. Dont ask. Anyway. So we went to turn on the water in the kitchen... and all of a sudden the knob broke. and the water was on. And we couldnt shut it off. Nor find the valve thing to just shut off the water  completely. So we searched and searched for a few minutes... and didnt know what to do. So we finally did a prayer, got up, went searching again, and finally found the knob, and cut off the water to the house haha... But so then we didnt have water in the house. ha. So the next day we called the house owner, but he couldnt come until SATURDAY morning to fix it... so to shower on friday morning, we boiled a bunch of water so we had hot water, then turned on the freezing cold shower, and just worked with that, finding the perfect mix of hot and cold water haha. And we survived.

Friday was also a great day because we finally received a fridge! haha. I havent had a fridge the whole time ive been here in this sector. Finally i went and talked to the office elder in charge. and finally this week we got a fridge. I can finally have cold milk and cereal for breakfast again hahaha. Yay. We were very excited to receive that.

And the last cool thing was from sunday. The first thing is that on Sunday morning we called the Family Sid Vargas to see if everything was all good for church... but they said they were sick and werent feeling good and so "They were going to see how they felt when the time came whether or not they would make it to church"..... which is always bad and nearly always turns out negative. So we were pretty down about that and did all we could to help them out so they came. Well church started and they werent there :( SO we were sad and thought man theyre not coming.... WELL like 10 minutes after we started, they showed up!!! We were so excited and happy for them. It was a HUGE sacrifice they made to make it to church, especially because they were all pretty sick. But they sacrificed and came, and we know that the lord is going to bless them bigtime for that sacrifice. Por sacrificio vienen bendiciones!!! So we were very excited to see their dedication to these things. 
The other super cool thing from Sunday is that we had a ward activity/devocional. A guy from Chillan came to the ward who does a presentation about the Book of Mormon, and like the "scientific/geographical evidences" of why the book of mormon is true. And so I guess theres 5 different presentations they have, and it was only the first one. But the presentation was SO COOL. It really like... opens up your eyes and makes the scriptures come to life and shows you that the things they talk about really exist in the world haha. For example, yesterday we only talked about Lehi and Fam`s journey to Abundancia and to the americas, and with google maps and the scriptures he kind of "Showed us the path" they might have taken. and it was so cool! Made the scriptures really come to life! and he also talked a little bit about Christ coming to the americas and some ancient documents theyve found that have been translated and talk about a "white bearded god" that visited some people in the america.... anyways it was just a bunch of stuff like that and IT WAS SO COOL. hahaha. Obviously its not the stuff you should base your testimony of the book of mormon off of, but it really brang the scriptures to life. so I liked it ALOT. and i have a bunch of notes taken down so i can see the stuff after the mission too since its online and i cant search it now haha :P

and that brings us back to monday! And here i am :) 

Anyway. I love being a missionary. Its the greatest experience ever. Im learning so much and growing so much. I love this church. I love this gospel. Its true and its been restored to its fullness. Que bendicion! haha. I love you and miss you all! Have an awesome week! Hasta la proxima!

Subject- November 25, 2013

I think the worst part about writing these letters is having to come up with a subject line. Because thinking back on every week, the only thing i can ever think of is "wow last week is crazy" haha. I cant come up with anything else. Ill work on it...

I think im just gonna go through day by day of this last week. Because there were lots of things that happened. Sooooo let us start with monday. 

So monday we went and played football one more time. Once again we enjoyed it, helped out alot, and this time at the end we did an invitation to listen to the missionaries, come to church, left some folletos with everyone...... but it gave very little results :( sooooooo.... That was the end of that. It was fun while it lasted though! haha. I learned alot more about football that i never knew before :P

Then tuesday nothing really happened

But on WEDNESDAY........ well that was an interesting day of the week. Soooooo last week i said ill probably have something interesting to share. This is it. 

So on monday we only had half of a pday. Why? because we sacrificed half of our pday on monday, so we could move it to wednesday morning. So about a week or two before I got here to this sector, Elder Holt, (who goes home in January) has always had the dream/desire to play golf in as many places in the world as possible. Kind of like how i want to get to all 7 continents. So anyway he had went to President Arrington and had negociated a deal with president so that he could maybe go play golf one day since theres a golfcourse like 30 minutes away from our side of town. President said he would think about it. Well last week president reported back to us that he had decided that it was alright if we went and played. But the thing is that the golf course is closed on mondays, so wed have to sacrifice some of our pday monday to be able to go on another day. So we did. and on wednesday morning, we woke up and went and played a round of 9hole golf. IT WAS SO SWEET. hahaha. I obviously have pictures that i will send. So we woke up, went and played, and then came back in time to shower and go to lunch. and then went to work in the afternoon. hahaha. It was awesome. So.... I played a round of golf in Chile on wednesday morning! hahaha. 

And then after lunch we actually had to go to the office in Conce to go pick up two elders, because on wednesday they started the 2 day long "Newbie Conference". and so some elders needed a place to stay, so we picked up two, did divisions in the afternoon, and they stayed with us wednesday night. I was with an Elder Miller from Washington. He was super cool! and had alot of animo and was super smart and a super good missionary haha. We had a good time! and elder Holt was with an Elder Duncan. but it was super funny because at night when we went to bed.... Elder Miller snored SO. BAD. It was the worst snoring i have ever heard in my life. ha. Elder Holt and I were sleeping on the floor on some pad things we had, and during the night the both of us kept waking up to the snoring and just looked at eachother and were like "oh my gosh im gonna die". And so we kept throwing things at him all night and waking him up a million times so he would stop snoring hahahaha. It was so funny. So bad but so funny. so we were super tired the next day haha. 

Then on thursday we ALSO had someething else to do. Because resulta que Elder Holt has a tiny hernia going on I guess in his stomach... So we woke up early on thursday to get ready so he could go get an xray in conce. So we got the xray, turns out he does have a tiny hernia, but its small and he has little time left on the mission so theyre just not even gonna worry about it right now. haha. Hes just gotta be careful. We then proceeded to have a normal thursday workday.

But on friday morning... I once again woke up DYING. Friday I woke up with a really bad cold. Super headache, super congested, super hot, and a horrible cough. So i feel ALOT better now. Ive still got a little cough and a tiiiiny bit of congestion. But i dont know what it is here in Talcahuano... but ever since ive showed up ive just been getting sick each week with something new.... :( I dont know why. Im taking care of myself and being careful... but it looks like its just not working. shoot. But im getting better. Hopefully I dont get sick again...

But then on saturday we had a normal day. We had an awesome Noche de Hogar with the family Sid Vargas that went really well. But thats about it.

But on SUNDAY was a special day too! Because It was the Primary Program in the sacrament meeting! haha. and I played piano to accompany them! haha. They did a good job. They were made up of about... 15 kids haha. So obviously they sang quiet and what not. But it all came out really good! haha it was super fun to accompany them and see them do their thing. 

andddddd that was a bit of the week. I shall send pictures as well. Were still doing really good with our investigators. The family of 4 (sid Vargas) is doing really well. Theyre loving it. Keep them in your prayers! and we still have 3 others were working with as well. Were working hard and happy with the work were doing! We just gotta keep going up! haha. 

Well thats it for this week. Ill get on those pictures now! I love you and miss you all! I love learning and growing and progressing. Its the best. haha. Buttttt. The gospel has been restored! Christ lives. Have an awesome week!

An Awesome Week-- November 18, 2013


Hey fam! I had an awesome week. Not like... a TON happened. But it was just a good week! We had some good accomplishments and some good spiritual highs! I shall share.

Well first off. CHRISTMAS PACKAGE ARRIVED!!!! Oh yeah!!!!! Suhweeeeet!!!! I shall send some pictures, but thanks so much to the fam for sending me my stuff :) I opened the things that werent wrapped... but was wondering if im supposed to wait until christmas to open the other ones?... :P haha. But thank you so much for that! My comp and i are way stoked haha.

That was a fantastic highlihgt of the week. So another fun thing from the week was last monday night... 
So one day during our verification with the assistants, they encouraged us to do more finding of investigators, and to be super creative and just do something crazy to be able to find more investigators! Well.... just coincidentally, a day or two before Elder Holt and I had run into a guy who is in charge of an american football program here... who has a team who is new and inexperienced, and he invited us one day to their practice to help them out with their plays and just everything. Well I dont know anything about football, but I love sports. AndElder Holt played quarterback in highschool. and we have an elder in our zone who played for BYU. Sooooo.... After that, and after the assistants telling us to just do something crazy to find, we took advantage of the invitation and monday night we went to their football practice with them and played. There wasnt much contact. We obviously didnt use pads. but.... IT WAS SO FUN. hahaha. I have a few pictures that ill send of that as well. So that was awesome. Last week we kind of just built confidence with everyone, but were going again one more time tonight to help them out... but this time were gonna bring some materials like folletos and books of mormon and what not to gift and invite them to church and to listen to the missionaries. Hopefully we get some good results out of it... because if not... Well. its just a waste of time haha. but ill send pictures so you can see. And hopefully things turn out well. If not... oh well. it was fun while it lasted.

Another cool thing from the week was that i had a mini cambio with one of the assistants on Friday that went really well. His name isElder Morgan from utah, and hes awesome. hes way young in the mission too. He only has a little more than a year, but hes a way good missinary and we get along really well haha. Anyway it was awesome to be with him and he taught me alot of good stuff that im really excited to apply. it was just a good experience that put me on the spiritual high i referred to at the beginning of the email. 

Other thing. Elder Holt has this like... study book about the book of mormon... I have no idea what to call it. But its just like a Book of Mormon manual that you can use as you study the book of mormon thats way good and way interesting, so im excited to use it as i study the book of mormon to learn more. So its got me way pumped to be reading through the book of mormon. Ive started over and im currently in 1 nefi 16. 

Also on Thursday we had a capacitacion de lideres that was also really good, where I learned alot, and also put me on a spiritual high! haha. So it was all good. 

andddd the last awesome thing from the week is that this week we were able to have 6 investigators in church this sunday! Which is super super good. The family of 4 came to church, and had a really good experience. So were very excited about them. Were working so that theyll be more than ready to be baptized in the month of december! We also had 2 menos activa families come that have one kid not baptized, so were working with them so they can also be ready to be baptized in december! December could be an exciting month!!! because we also have one more familia menos activa that has a child not baptized, who love church and are so excited to come back and the kid is excited to get baptized... but the mom is stopping him from getting baptized... because shes conviviendo (living with her partner without being married) and so shes not living the law of castidad, and her pareja causes aLOT of problems and drama... so this week were going to teach her about the law of castidad... and were hoping it will change her heart and that shell repent and make the right choice to NOT convivir... So we need her in our prayers because shes kind of sensitive and could very easily get really offended. So we`ll be praying hard. So yeah. Thats an investigator update. Were doing really good because we have alot of people progressing to teach!!

y eso. eso es basicamente todo. Thats about all folks! That was my week. And thats why it was a really good week. Just full of lots of highs and lots of good happenings. So im loving it! Hopefully it all keeps up like that and that everything goes well with these people that we have to teach. 

I love being a missionary and i love the work that im doing. Its the best. Okay last little spiritual share.
The thing ive learned most on the mission is the importance of the spirit in my life. The importance of having the companionship of the holy ghost and being able to recognize it day by day. And ive learned and seen many times that the best feeling ever is not finding a new investigator, or having an awesome lesson, or when an investigator gets baptized or confirmed. Those are super exciting and i feel great! But the best feeling ever and the best feelings ive had on the mission have been when the promise of Eter 12:6 has come true, and after having had the faith to follow what I thought was a prompting of the spirit, I later receive a witness that i really did follow the spirit and was able to be an instrument in the hands of the lord and bless the life of someone else or just complete with whatever it was the lord wanted me to do. The best feeling ever is KNOWING that I recognized and followed the Holy Ghost. And I invite you all to strive to do the same. Cuz its the best feeling ever. I hope that all made sense. Talking about the gospel is super weird in english haha. Its easier in spanish.

ANYWAY. Thats all I have for today. I love you and miss you all. Have an awesome week! Chauito.
