Wow, what a week! The last week of this change and I was dying to baptize, but nobody was looking too firm coming into the beginning of the week. Heavenly Father is a father of miracles and really loves us. He pulled through and we had a baptism! Sister Albarrán is now a member of La Iglesia de Jesucristo de Los Santos de Los Últimos Días!
As always there's a lot to tell, but very little time. Long story short…we couldn't even pass by Miriam's house until Wednesday and even then nothing was 100% that she was going to get baptized this weekend. I was in the most ghetto sector in the mission the whole day with Elder Walker and was DYING!!! I wanted to know if they were able to get the baptismal interview completed. I called in the night and she had her baptismal interview! Unreal, this baptism is one of the most surprising baptisms I've had in my mission! She accepted everything and was baptized by Elder Cachari on Saturday! Elder Cachari finished his first change in the mission baptizing, couldn't be happier! 
I know that Heavenly Father is a God of miracles. Sister Albarrán has really been struggling with many things in her life... she’s had some really hard circumstance, but she definitely felt the spirit and knew that baptism was the only way to feel clean from all her sins and to start over again! We're working with her 16 year old son Victor so that he can be baptized this month of March as well!
There's really not much more that I can say! I was so excited for Sister Albarrán and Elder Cachari! All the hard work, fasting, and prayers paid off! Oh, I'll be staying in Villa Sur for 6 more weeks! Wow, 7 and half months in one sector is a lot! Heavenly Father must really need me here is all I can say! I'm looking forward to this change and I feel like we will be able to baptize 6 of our investigators this change!
I had divisiones in La Victoria Thursday! After 6 months in Ochagavía I finally go to go to La Victoria! All I can say is that Satan himself walks the streets of La Victoria! Look it up on Google and look up the story. It is literally a neighborhood filled with drugs, alcohol, prostitution, it is unreal! It's crazy because it's right across the streets from my sector, but it's 87643290864 times more ghetto and I thought my sector was ghetto! There are communist symbols in all of Santiago, but wow... La Victoria is a completely different world. The police don't even go in there. There's a ton of people to talk to though because everyone is out on the street all day!
I will just reiterate that Ochagavía has taught me a lot. In Villa Sur you can't depend on the ward to carry you... you have to carry the ward. The worst news is that we lost our Mission Leader this week and a lot of members that attend every Sunday were called to stake callings.! Hay que trabajar no más! 6 more weeks! 6 more weeks!
LOVE ALL OF YOU! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!!
