How it be?
Let's get to it. I feel like there's a ton to tell you guys because the week of the 18th of September here in Chile is pretty amazing. Everyone is partying all week long and there's always the ward party that's fun, but I'd say that last year it was more fun in Pajaritos than here in the coast. Pajaritos was a super strong ward and I had a ton of time there, so I could really just talk with everyone and I felt super loved by all my converts there, but here I only have one convert and she wasn't at the party... it was cool nonetheless. The coolest part is that we baptized her on the actual 18th of September in the morning before church started at 10! I BAPTIZED ON THE 18TH OF SEPTEMBER IN CHILE!!! No one thought that it'd be possible, but it is! Everything went well despite the fact that we wanted to start at 9 and everyone got there right on Chileno time... 9:30. It was the quickest baptismal service ever but we did it and it was super spiritual! Kamila is going to be a strong member of the church!
It was actually quite the struggle because her ex boyfriend caused all sorts of issues this last week trying to keep her from getting baptized, but we had a super powerful lesson and I just bore testimony about how right before we are about to take a great decision... Satan always attacks us the strongest. I talked about how all the prophets in the Book of Mormon and the Bible always faced trial and affliction and that she would have to do the same because she's a chosen daughter of God. She felt the spirit super strong and she committed. We had a recent RM that always helps us out baptize her his names Fabrizio.
The rest of the week we just had some awesome lessons and enjoyed the atmosphere of Chile. We had to be back in the house early at 6 on the 18th and at 7 yesterday to avoid problems with drunks! I bought a kite and we flew it last P-day on top of a hill in our sector! Twas awesome!
Ya'll gonna love this country when we come back to visit! I continue to just love the mission and I don't want the experience to end. I know that it's coming to an end though... I'm just trying to really soak everything I can in. I am running about 40-50 minutes everyday with Elder Carroll and it's doing wonders! I'm not going to come back half bad...
This gospel is true. Christ lives. He loves us. The mission is truly where "I have turned from boy to man." Thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Miracles exist.
21 years old! WHAT?! This means I come back home and buy the beer to make beer bread with Mom! Yippee!
Love you guys! You rock my socks off!
