First Baptism

This last week we had a BAPTISM! It was on Saturday. It was awesome. My first one. And I love him and his wife to death. They are great people! And they want to be in the Temple as a family next October. That's their goal. I'm excited for them! But we just added another member. Like yesterday we had a record of 36 PEOPLE in CHURCH!!! It was pretty packed I'm not going to lie to you. But yes everything is going good here. This is our last week together. We have cambios on the 2 of November. That is next Wednesday. So we will figure out who is leaving and who is staying. We will see what happens. Neither of us want to leave the sector. That's the funny part. But one of us has to go.

I know what I'm trying to preach and teach is true. I am trying to help people feel the goodness that thospel can bring in to their lifes.  But I love you guys. Have a good week and don't party too much while your gone on your trip mom and dad! But have fun with it and take lots of sweet pictures. I cant wait to hear about it. That's going to be awesome!! Thank you for everything!

Love,

Climbing the Osorno Volcano

Hola! How is everything going?! I´m doing fine this beautiful P-Day!! We just got to Lider! It´s the place that´s like Walmart. It is amazing here I have to tell you. But this P-Day has been perfect!! Guess where we went as a group activity with the zone?? WE WENT AND HIKED VOLCANO OSORNO!!!! It was so sweet!! But with all that snow that was there it just made me want to go snowboarding so that was a little bit of a down fall. But it was amazing!! And we also went to a place called Salto de Petrohue. It is a place with a bunch of blue water and clear as can be! And also white water! We called it the Waters of Mormon. Where Alma baptized all his secret followers so King Noah didn´t kill them. So awesome!! And we used a members bus that he voluteered and he just drove us around it was so awesome. We had two zones. Our zone of Puerto Montt and also the next zone of Puerto Varas. It was awesome. So many Missionaries! But so fun!! Like the Volcano was so sweet!!! We got some sweet pictures!! We are going to burn me a cd of all the pictures we have together and stuff he took. So yea that was like my P-Day. So much fun.

But this week was amazing!! We just celebrated 50 years in Chile!! The Church that is. When the first missionaries entered into Chile. It´s been so sweet. And Thank You so much for your prayers!! They are definitely a life saver and I see the Blessings everyday from them! Just because of your prayers, Elder Richan´s parents prayers, and our pray and fast this last Sunday, Juan IS GETTING BAPTIZED THE 22ND OF THIS MONTH!!! Like he came out and said that he was never one to do God´s will and every since his wife was baptized she was trying so hard but he was holding her back and he doesn´t wanna do that anymore!! He wants to be good and follow Jesus Christ. He came out and told us all this a couple days ago. And he just started crying when he told us too. He wants to be with his family forever and he asked how long you have to be a member to go to the Temple and be sealed. So they are working towards next year for going to the Temple. He loves his family. He is such a great kid. It´s hard to think that both of them are our age. They are both 20 and have a 1 year old girl. She is such a cute little girl. But that is what we are looking forward to for right now in Muermos. Other than that we are searching as hard as we can and won´t stop looking and of course won´t stop studying spanish. Well I won´t.

I just wanna let you know I love this job and it is all better after having a crappy week to hear that one of God´s children are getting baptized!! But I love you and I´m out of time!!

Love you all

A Trip to the Campo

Everything is going good here in good old Muermos! We have been in the Campo all day! The campo is the farm land. We went out with a couple that we have been working with because they both are from out there. We got a tour of his parents property and all that fun stuff. We rode his tractor and he kept trying to get us to drive it but we are not allowed which is bad. I wanted to drive so bad!! But we wanted to go cow tipping too so what else is new. By the way I didn't drive the tractor!! But yes all these pictures are awesome right? We have fun. That has been us for the past little bit! Got the volcano in the background and one going to District Meeting and our bus broke down! Just some good random stuff in there!

Conference was sweet! Elder Holland's talk in the Priesthood Session was so powerful and just straight to the point! So awesome! I loved all the talks though! It was fun to be able to watch them. But We only watched the Priesthood Session in Puerto though. We were going to watch all of it down there but we stayed here in Muermos so we could help with our members and with investigators. So we just traveled down to the priesthood session but yea that was pretty awesome!! I loved it. Sitting with all the other missionaries was fun but sometimes they just talked so it got old. But yes Conference was fun and powerful. Very powerful

Check out the two volcanos in the background.  The southern part of Chile has dozens of volcanos!

 A bus stop?

 The beautiful Campo or country!

 Cow tipping????

Me and my boys havin so much fun!!!
