VAMOS A LA PLAYA!!!
What up family and friends,
The skinny is that all our prayers were answered and I got sent to the coast! I am now in San Antonio!!! It's amazing that after 20 months in the city of Santiago I have finally been able to see other parts of Chile! It's incredibly beautiful out here! What an amazing way to finish my last 4 months in the mission! The biggest zone as well! The air is so fresh here and you can smell the ocean air! I am also with my good friend Elder Montero from Costa Rica! PURA VIDA! I was in the same district with him when he came into the mission last June and man is he different from when he started! He's an amazing missionary and I know that we're going to have a lot of success together! Elder Suarez stayed in Cerrillos and he's with the most enthusiastic missionary in the mission... Elder Moura from Brasil!!! Presidente Woodward definitely knows what he's doing!
It was super hard to say bye yesterday to everyone in the Primo De River Ward, but it's just part of the mission. I can’t wait to come back here one day, so you guys can get to know mis queridos chilenos! Man have I come to love them! That's why I'll be giving it everything I've got until I come home in December!
We had 3 baptisms this weekend! Javier, Darío, and Samuel! They all loved the service and they'll be strong converts! Samuel broke down crying when he heard the news that I was leaving on Sunday and he wrote me an awesome letter! It was hard saying bye yesterday! I hope you guys get to meet the people that I've baptized here!
In the ward council yesterday I told the ward they needed to have more faith, and that they can’t give up on recent converts so quickly. I said it with sincere love for them and all the new members. In the end they all told me that they were going to miss me a ton.
Started El Libro de Mormón again and it'll probably be my last time! I've read it 4 times on the mission and this will be my 5th!
Not much time, just know that I'm super happy! I love the mission and love this gospel! I know that my Savior lives and I know that he loves us perfectly! I know that this is the greatest work on earth and it's such a privilege to be apart of it!
Love you all a ton!!! VAMOS A LA PILA BAUTISMAL!!!
