<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another week has already come and gone. Time goes
by so fast - especially when there is so much to do. We’ve even canceled appointments
because we haven’t had enough time to visit all of our investigators and less-actives.
I love being busy: doing lots, visiting lots, and serving lots! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We even got five points out of the seven for the
week! The points are goals that help us keep focused each day. To earn a point
for a day we need to visit a member, visit a less active or convert with a
member accompanying us, and have an investigator lesson with a member
accompanying us. We usually earn three points in a week, but we have been
working really hard to get four points. This week we were able to get
five! It has made me very happy. We’ve started this week well too; we already
got a point for Monday. Six or seven, here we come. Ojala!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My companion, hermana Fernandez, is doing super
well and making a lot of progress. She has an incredible memory. She remembers
like every scripture known to mankind, and whips them out in lessons as the
spirit dictates. It’s super awesome. I think she is going to be a really great
missionary. She’s already really good and really cares for the people. I think
I will be leaving the sector in good hands, which makes me happy. I love this
sector.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I feel like 50 million emotions today. I normally
don’t read the emails I get until later, but today I skimmed a bit. So many
things have left me with lots of different feelings. I feel content, excited,
anxious, nervous, sad, disappointed, confused, and calm all at the same time. I
don’t think I’ve ever felt so many different emotions in such a short period of
time. I don’t know how to feel? NUMB! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have an investigator who wants to be baptized
and is making a lot of changes in her life. She has given up drinking and now is
working on stopping her addiction to pills. The day we met her she told us that
she wanted to make all of these changes. She seems happier each time we meet with
her. It makes me happy. :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is also a less-active that is super great, Zulema.
After more than twenty years of inactivity she has a great desire to return to
church. She went to General Conference and really liked it. She has been attending
all the church meetings and activities. She is so great!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I hit the 17th month mark in my mission. It’s
weird how it feels like it has gone by fast, but then I look back and realize
how much has happened. I will be arriving home one month from today. I still
have so many goals that I want to accomplish before I come home. You would
think I would be a pro at time management, but this is still a weakness of
mine. It appears some of our challenges will stay with us for the majority of
our lives. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible and I should quit trying. I shall
conquer time someday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We tried food from Thailand for lunch. It was
okay, but I’ve found that all the food here from other countries gets "Chileanized".
All the food becomes blander. I bet all of the food from other countries in the
US gets "Americanized" to have strong flavors and sweeter. We Americans
like our sweets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. I
love General Conferences so much! Hermano Hector went to every session. He said
that he had seen big conferences from many other churches, but never one like
ours. He said all the talks were really powerful.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Did you watch all the sessions? I sure hope
so! The prophet and the twelve apostles receive revelation from God for our day
and it’s important that we listen to all that God is telling us. I really
liked the talk about grace, from Dieter F. Uchtdforf. It’s easy to feel like we’re
not good enough or that we are failures. This talk helps us to understand that God’s
saving grace is for us.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I finally felt some earthquakes! They have always
happened in the night, so I never noticed them. Everyone else wakes up, but not
me. I can sleep through anything. Everything just starts moving; it’s crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This morning my district leader called bright and
early - 20 minutes before wake up time. We were all confused to wake up to the
phone ringing instead of the alarm. Today was the last time I will receive the
nerve-wracking call of the "cambios". I have been wondering what
would happen because I have been in Talcahuano for about six months already. Almost
no one stays in an area longer than six months – so that would mean I would
probably leave. But I am also training a newbie, and usually the trainer stays until
the end of the training.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My last 6 weeks in Chile, I will be in...
TALCAHUANO! I shall die (figuratively speaking of course) here in this sector.
This makes me happy because I like it here a lot! Plus Hermana Parkin and Caceras
also are staying, so I don’t have to worry about getting accustomed to another
person or anything. Yay! I am very happy with the cambios. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week was full of things to do (which is
good) but it was frustrating because I had tons of migraines. I had one each
day for 8 days. Ugh. Luckily there is medicine to take away the pain, so I
could keep going. I felt like a bit of a druggie taking pills every day. But
what can you do? Just gotta keep going! </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I officially hit 16 months in the mission. Whoa
man!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> This week went well for me, although I had an increased number of
migraines. Luckily we live in an age of advanced medicines, so I don’t have to
suffer with them too long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Attendance at church has increased every week
for the past five weeks! At lot of it is due to school starting again and
vacations ending, but I’m also sure that people are realizing that it's
important to be at church so they can remember Christ by taking the sacrament.
It makes me happy to see the less-actives that we have been working with for so
long, changing and coming to church. As they dedicate themselves to God again,
they become happier people. :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thought of the week:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We should always be asking ourselves, "¿Que
más puedo hacer?" which means, "What more can I do?" It’s a
fantastic question to be asking ourselves for just about anything: “What more
can I do to serve God? What more can I do to help my community/family/friends?
What more can I do today to complete my goals for the week?” I encourage you to remember this question all week, and ask yourself, "What more
good can I do today, to help make a better tomorrow?"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Fridays with Hermana Fernandez have been
quite good each week for some reason. She says that each Friday will be
“Miracle Friday”, and it has been that way for the past three weeks. This
Friday it was particularly crazy just how much we could see the hand of the Lord
that day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first miracle was in the morning. A member
accompanied us to an appointment we had planned with someone that was his age
(about 68). We had confirmed the appointment, but when we got there the man
wasn’t home. Instead we decided to look for Luis, the investigator that we
found two weeks ago and haven’t been able to meet again. So we went, and he was
there! Luis had read the pamphlet we left and it all made a lot of sense to
him, and he wanted to learn more. Coincidentally, Luis and the member we
brought with us knew each other and were able to talk about old memories and
such. It was cool to see how that all worked out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then we visited a member home and we arrived when she and
her daughter were feeling very sad and overwhelmed. We came just in time to
allow them to vent to us. We talked, shared a lesson, and were able to leave
them feeling much better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Later we went to visit a home that we accidentally
happened upon the previous day. We had a lunch appointment with a member, but I
could not remember which red house she lived in. We knocked on the door of the
house I thought was hers, but I was wrong; a young girl (about 12 yrs old)
answered the door. She told us she would love to hear our message, so we made
an appointment to come back the next day (Friday). It turned out that the girl
had seen us walking around the neighborhood before and had wanted to talk to us, because she loves to study the Bible. Her sister, mom and dad joined the
lesson, and now we have four new investigators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">That evening the member we had scheduled with was
unable to accompany us on our last appointment. We were a little disappointed
because it was the final goal we needed to complete to earn a point for the
day. We stalled for time, trying to think of another member who might be
able to accompany us. Just as we were about to knock on the door, the other set
of hermana’s came into view. They had an appointment a couple houses away
and they were accompanied by Hermano Juan, the mission leader. We told them our sad problem, and they told us to wait while they checked on their
appointment. It turned out that their person was not home, so Hermano Juan came
with us. Then we found that Hermano Juan knew the woman we were meeting with
very well, and her family too. The woman, her boyfriend, and her daughter all
listened to our message, because Hermano Juan was with us. Now we have more new
investigators! :D</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am adjusting to the changes,
so I feel a little better now. The only bummer this week is that it suddenly
started to get colder, with lots of wind. I even had to pull out my winter
jacket one day. This is probably karma for me laughing at Bryce last week, for being in the cold Indiana winter. Haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week <span style="text-indent: -48pt;">I am going to write all
the miracles I have seen within the last two weeks because there have been a
lot.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -48pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -48pt;">The first </span>cool thing is that I
couldn’t have gotten a better newbie companion for me to train. When I was told
I would be training a new missionary I was a little nervous. I asked God if he
would give me a companion that was nice, patient, and had a desire to be
obedient. At the conference all of the trainers met all of the new
missionaries. My companion said she was hoping that I would be her companion
because I was very happy and friendly. God answers our prayers because my
newbie is everything I asked for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last Friday my companion and I
found a new investigator who was extremely receptive. His name is Luis, and he
is about 65 years old. He believes strongly in God and loves to read the Bible,
but he hasn’t been very active in any church for years. We taught him about the
restoration of the Church of God and he listened very attentively. Afterwards
he promised to read our pamphlet. At that moment I felt the Spirit strong and
thought, "I know the Spirit is here in this room right now - I wonder if
he can feel it?" Immediately after, as my companion was bearing her
testimony, he began to cry because of the strength of the Spirit. He said he
knew it had to be true and was very grateful to us for sharing the message, and
wants to know more. The only sad thing is we haven’t been able to find him
since. But it was a powerful lesson and my companion was able to see the
importance of obedience with exactness. Our leaders ask us to make ten contacts
each day. This day was the first that she completed her ten contacts, and she
realized we received blessings for being obedient.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This <span style="text-indent: -48pt;">Friday we had a lesson
planned with a less active family and a member came to help us. The appointment
was canceled after we waited for them outside their house for 20 minutes.
It seemed like a bummer. We decided to call another less active that we have
been trying to contact for the past month, and she was home and willing to receive
us. The lesson went great and now she has suddenly been coming to church again!
Later we were able to meet with the original less active family, but we went
with a different member. This member was the right person to bring and had
really great spiritual advice for the family. God really does have control over
his work and all turns out as it should.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -48pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -48pt;">On </span>Sunday, five less-active
families that we have been working with attended church! For the past four
months my companions and I have been visiting a less active mom and her
daughter. The mom has become quite active, but the daughter was not interested
in church. With the help of the young women we convinced her to go to EFY, and
now she has a completely different attitude. She came to church and bore her testimony
for the first time. She said she felt the spirit so incredibly strong during
EFY and she realized there were many things she really wanted to change in her
life. It made me so happy! Her and her mom have watched a bunch of church
videos this past week because she doesn’t want to lose the spirit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For some reason, a ton of people in Chile have gangster hats
that say CHICAGO on them. I have been tempted to buy one even though I live
right near Chicago, just because it’s a fun memory of Chile. We shall see if I
resist. :P</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having a daughter (that’s what we call it when we train a
new missionary) is rough stuff man... so much work and patience. I
thought before I never had time for myself, but now that has been amplified. I
literally have no time to think about anything but my companion, what she needs
to learn, helping her feel happy and adjusted, and about ALL the plans! Ugh...
its quite stressful.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My companion is Hermana Fernandez from Lima, Peru. She has
been a member her whole life. She has a vast knowledge of the gospel, and loves
to share it all with everyone. She has been improving in all aspects quickly
and she desires to be obedient. I think she will be a good missionary.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week was really good. We had TONS of lessons!
We were running literally from one to the next, and had almost no time in the
streets. It made me very happy. Even though I have finished each day feeling
really tired, its ok, because I have taught and helped lots of people. I like
feeling busy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On Sunday the mission president and his wife
came to our ward for church. Afterward he talked to each of us to see how we
are doing. I was having a hard time speaking in English. I kept talking in
Spanglish. :P He congratulated us for helping build up the ward so much.
He told us that before we came, the ward had been in a very troubled state and
the missionary work was not going well. It is completely different now. Just
the other day, one of our favorite families (the Fernandez family) thanked us
for what we’ve done for the ward. They told us that we have been great
missionaries and we helped change the attitude of the ward completely. I love
this ward!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And now I get to STAY again. Yay! Hermana
Wallis will be leaving. :( It has been super fun being in the same house with
her again (from the MTC days). Her companion, Hermana Parkin, will still be here
and will be training. My companion is leaving to open a sector in Tome with my
old companion, Hermana Montañes. I’m sad that she will be leaving me since we
got along really well. We laughed a lot together and had no problems with one
another. My new companion will be…I don’t know yet. I’m being entrusted to
train one of the newbie’s when they arrive tomorrow. WOW! Tomorrow I will go to
the office, learn how to train, eat pizza with all the newbies, and then meet
my new companion. Pray that I get a nice person to train and that I can be a
very good trainer! </span></div>

and surprised us with a boat tour of the port coast. It was super fun and so
interesting!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">THURS- We had our Zone Conference and learned how to work better with the
members. We also got to see the movie </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Meet the Mormons</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">. It was so good!
Lots of people cried, especially at the end when it showed the missionary -
tender memories. It was super inspirational and fun to watch in Spanish. I
could listen to the woman from Costa Rica in her own voice and understand. The
next time I listen, it will be voiced over in English. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week many people told me my Spanish has improved a lot. At the beginning
of my mission many times the contacts in the street said they didn’t understand
me. Now that almost never happens. Yay progress! :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />SAT- Hector got baptized! He bought a new suit specifically for his baptism
and so he could dress up for Sundays. He is going to be a great member. He has
so much faith!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />SUN- Hector was confirmed. He seems so happy! He has progressed a lot in the
three weeks we have been teaching him. He went from not praying or reading the
scriptures regularly to praying twice daily, reading a lot each day, and
helping at church each Sunday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week I have been so busy that the week just
went flying by. All week we had tons of lessons! We had to run from one meeting
to another sometimes just to make it to them in time. We spent very little time
contacting in the street. It makes me super happy to be busy like this. It
was such a good week and we could really see the helping hand of God in His
work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Monday my companions and I went to a huge
international art fair. There were so many cool handmade art items and unique
articles from countries all over South America. There was even a stand from
Easter Island. Easter Island is part of Chile, but it is far off the coast and
they have their own ancient language. The guy at the booth taught me some words
in his language.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thursday we had a mission-wide cleaning day, so we
spent half of the day deep cleaning our houses. It made us all very happy and
now the house is wonderful to enter. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Saturday we had a Chocolate Festival activity, and
it was fantastic! There were lots of yummy chocolate creations. The only
problem was that a lot of people ate too much chocolate and felt sick the next
day. I felt fine - high chocolate tolerance. My companion and I made Oreo
truffles and won for the Best Flavor. WOO!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday the talks at church were great for our
investigator, Hector. One speaker even talked about covenants. The talks and
the lessons helped us tremendously with the lesson that we planned to teach him
later. It was like God chose the lesson topics perfectly so we could help
Hector understand the importance of baptism. AND Hector has decided to be
baptized this Saturday! I have never met anyone so prepared by God to be
baptized. We’re so happy for him.</span></div>

Talcahuano. I love this area a lot - members, investigators, and my companion -
everything. I feel that I have learned to really love the mission more since
I’ve been here. I am beginning to feel like I never want to finish the mission because I love it, even though it is sometimes difficult.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many miracles happened and I feel good about our
efforts. One day we went to the home of a member who we did not know well. We
thought they would not be home because parents usually work during the day, but
we decided to try. When we arrived, almost the whole family was at home. We
shared a lesson and encouraged them to read the entire Book of Mormon this
year. One of the children cried a little during the lesson and had a great
desire to read the Book of Mormon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We spoke with the mother afterwards and she told
us that this child has been very ill and depressed recently. Today he was the
most cheerful she had seen him for a while, and she was very grateful that we
had visited. We felt very good that we followed the impression to go to their
home that day. God controls his work!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week we taught our investigator, Hector,
almost every day. He has visited many other religions and has studied the Bible
a lot. He understands all that we teach him so quickly; the more we teach him,
the more he desires to learn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On Sunday our super bueno investigator, Hector,
came to church. He also came to a FHE with us that night, with Hermano
Feliciano (my convert) and his wife. Hermano Feliciano bore his testimony about
why it’s important to be baptized and resolved some doubts that Hector had. He
talked about how special his baptism was, and that he will always remember
Hermana Dietz and I because we were the ones who helped him get baptized. It
made me so happy! I thought of the scripture D&C 18:15- “And if it so be
that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and
bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the
kingdom of my Father!” I really felt that joy yesterday. :)</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Monday, my house
companions and I got Pizza Hut pizza and ate it on the campus of La
Universidad de Concepcion. Later we visited a
member and she gave us a fruit called Golden Berry. I have never seen such a fruit,
but it tasted good. Then we shared a message with her and her nonmember husband.
Afterwards we got to talk with him and got to know him better. He showed us his
talent of playing the harmonica. He was super good. The cool part is he came to
a social gathering at the church on Saturday, and he came to church on Sunday for
the sacrament meeting too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Tuesday, I hit my 14-month

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Wednesday, we got to
teach our atheist investigator. Even though he doesn’t believe, he is open to
listening, praying, and reading the Book of Mormon. He has the desire to
believe, and like it says in Alma 32 - just a desire to believe is what a
person needs to be able to plant the seed of faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">We also visited some
less-actives, Hermana Mirta and Fransisca. We were able to help get Fransisca
excited enough to sign up for EFY. I hope she goes because it will help her a
lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Thursday, we had a
mini-cambio, and I stayed in my area with Hermana Morroquin from El Salvador. It
was a fun day, especially because she had served here about eight months ago. She
got a chance to see everyone again and how much the ward progressed. With the
help of Hermana Morroquin, one of our investigators finally understood the importance
of baptism and accepted a goal to be baptized!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Friday, we had our
first lesson with Hector. Hector
went to church in Chiguayante and afterward told the elders that he wanted to
learn more. Since he lives in our area the elders referred him to us. Our first
clue that he was super great was after we set up the lesson date, HE called US
to confirm the meeting. That NEVER happens! For the lesson we talked about the
restoration of the gospel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then on
Saturday we taught Hector about the plan of salvation and why we’re on earth. He has studied the Bible a lot, and he said everything we have taught him makes sense. He has
already accepted a date for baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Saturday, we cleaned
the chapel and then went to a good-bye surprise party for someone in our ward. In
the afternoon my companion and I were walking down the street, when suddenly a
car passed by and the driver motioned for us to wait. They parked the car and a
guy and a girl (about 20 years old) got out. It turns out that they have a brother who had taken the lessons from missionaries about a year ago. The girl now wants to
learn about the church because she has lost her confidence in her church.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday, was AMAZING!
These two random people came to church and the girl stayed the whole time. She
really liked it and wants to come next week. Our two investigators with baptism
dates came, and also the husband of the member we visited on Monday. Lots of
less-actives also attended church, and our recent convert Hermano Feliciano received his first calling as ward missionary. Later in the day we contacted
two people from Serbia. Then we had a dinner appointment with Hermano Feliciano
and Hermana Blanca, and they made us pizza. Great day! :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">Can you believe that it is 2015? It’s crazy to me, especially to think
that I was here in Chile for the whole year of 2014! Tomorrow I will complete
14 months in my mission, which means only four months are left. That is only two
more cambios after this one, which means that whatever place I go next is where
I will end the mission. It makes me sad to think it is almost the end. Although
the mission has not been easy I have come to love Chile, the people, the
language and culture, and the opportunity to spend all day every day trying to help
others! There won’t be any other time in my life when I can do exactly the same
thing. The mission really is a once in a lifetime opportunity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">Friday we taught our investigators Fabiola & Barbara and their dad
(Hermano Patricio) about the Plan of Salvation. They are great and really have
a desire to understand and learn. I really think they are all ready to receive
the gospel. We just have to help them get to church. And they showed us their
Copihues, which are flowers native only to Chile. It is the national flower of
Chile. They are pretty neat! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wednesday we had a special fun dinner with Hermano Feliciano for the New
Year! We had to be in the house by 11pm, but that’s still an hour more than
normal. Here in Talcahuano all the cities have fireworks at midnight. We couldn’t
see the fireworks, but we could hear them. Fireworks are illegal in Chile,
except for the city shows. We need to be more exciting at home. The ward
got together to have a dance from midnight on, and all the YSA in the region had
a big dance from 1-6 am. It’s common here to dance all night for New Years.</span><br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">This week was quite good, what with all the Christmas
celebrations and such.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today there
are cambios and I am going to stay in Talcahuano. That makes me happy, because
I like this ward and I didn’t want to leave yet. My companion is going to Tome
and will finish training a new hermana there. I’m sad to separate from my
companion since I really enjoyed the time we had together. We laughed a lot.
But it’s also good to have change, and it will be interesting to be with an
American again. My new companion is going to be Hermana Vawdrey from American
Fork, Utah. There are now four Americans in our sector. This is the first time
in my whole mission to be with all gringas. I’m a little nervous about not having a
translator anymore. It was nice having a Chilean companion to help me
understand the slang, and the people connected easily with her. However, it will
be nice to be able to joke with someone who for sure can understand me. It’s
hard to joke well in another language. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">This week we taught an atheist. He was saying that he has a hard time
believing that Jesus Christ really was a god. He believes that he existed
(since there are so many records about it) but just as a great philosopher or
teacher who knew how to fool the people with magic tricks. I got to thinking
about the scriptures in the Book of Mormon, which say:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 20.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"> 6 Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible,
and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?</span><br />
7 Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye
not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those
who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in
the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea,
even upon all the nations of the earth?<br />
8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more
of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you
that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak
the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations
shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.<br />
9 And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the
same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according
to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not
suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither
shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and
forever.<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"> 10 Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not
suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not
caused more to be written.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">(2Nephi 29:6-10)</span><br />
<br />
As it says here, the testimony of two nations helps us to believe in
Christ. It has always made sense to me that Christ would show himself to other
people living in the world, since all are important to God. Now the genius of
God to have a second witness of Christ is clearer to me. Christ showing himself
to another part of the world is proof that he really was a god. There would be
no other way he could appear to the other side of the world if it were not so. The
Book of Mormon is so important for our time - to help us believe in Christ. If
we can gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon, then we can truly know that
Jesus really was a god and not just a great teacher!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">- Sunday, a whopping eight of the less-actives we are visiting came to church. That was awesome! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">- Saturday, we walked ALL day, not entering a single house. What a
bummer it was. All of our appointments fell through, so the poor members that
accompanied us just walked around with us, contacting in the street and keeping
us company. It was a super long and exhausting day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">- Friday, we had a Sister zone class, which was super fun. We had
everything themed to what gift we can give to Christ this Christmas. My companion
and I shared about how we can work with the members as a gift. Then we
did a secret sister gift exchange. Hermana Davidson and Hermana Garcia came out
all dressed up as Santa. So funny! Hermana Davidson pulled a prank on me, and
the gift she gave me from my "secret sis" was a stocking full of
carrots! Then she gave me my real gift, which was from Hermana Garcia. Our sister training leaders
are great! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">- On the way back to our house my companion and I saw a young boy flip over on a bicycle with his grandpa. We quickly ran over to
help. The poor little boy fell headfirst and wacked his teeth. His foot had
gotten caught in the front wheel and was definitely broken. My companion was
studying to be a nurse before her mission, so she handled it all pretty well. I
am calm in those situations, but I find it all a little traumatic. I don’t think
I can ever work in the medical field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;">- My companion and I did service for an investigator of ours. We helped
her cut the grass and clean out the plant beds in her yard. It made me very
happy. I like doing garden work - just not all day every day. Haha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Today I played dodge ball for a bit, which was super fun! Then
Hermana Blanca and Hermano Feliciano took us all to the beach and for empanadas
de queso. Great times! We’re going to spend Christmas Eve with them too. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">We were able to find some new investigators finally, and one of our
older investigators came to church for the second time. She appears more interested
to learn about the gospel and is asking more questions during the lessons. She
has been investigating for months, but suffers from depression, so her progress
has been extremely slow. It has been hard to help her be motivated to act (read
scriptures or go to church), but lately she is seems happier. So it was quite a
breakthrough for her to attend church again, and this time without a member to
pick her up. Super great! :)</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">My companion and I painted the faces of little kids for free again
this week. This time it went much better because we had a member come with us
who knows how to paint faces. She painted the faces all professional-like while
we talked with the people. It worked quite well, and it was super fun to see
the kids excited to get their faces painted. :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">We also got to clean out a jungle-of-a-garden for a service project
this week. It looks much better
now, and we felt super happy to have helped the member. She was also super
happy to have the help. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Feliciano, went out of his way to have a surprise party for her. The YSA’s also
had a little surprise party for her. It was a little difficult for me to coordinate all this secretly, and make sure we didn’t use too much of the Lord's sacred time in parties. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This was a pretty decent week. Sunday was particularly awesome!
We had a whopping two investigators, two recent converts, and four less-actives come to church. Later that day we had a lesson with a new investigator
and a member, another lesson with a less-active and a member, and a third lesson
with a recent convert and a member. It was awesome! </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Today, we went over to President and Hermana Arrington’s house
to eat yummy cinnamon rolls and decorate their Christmas tree. All of the sisters
in our zone and a few elders were there.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week we got to do a service project for a member and help clean
out weeds from her garden. Afterwards she gave us pizza, which was yummy! Pizza
here is not the same as in the states, but it is still good the way the
Chileans make it. :D It usually has corn, which actually taste great.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I finally had my first baptism in the mission! And it was at the
beach. I have always wanted to see a baptism on the beach. His name is Hermano Feliciano.
His wife is a member and his son and daughter are both on missions right now. Lots
of people get baptized while their kids are on missions. God takes care of
the families of missionaries. His family has been members for about eight years,
but he never really looked into the church much. This past year, he started
listening a little to the missionaries. Then with Hermana Dietz and me, he came
to the conclusion that he wanted to get baptized. He and his wife are super
great people! They help us with so much as missionaries. It was fun to be able
to be a part of his baptism. It made me ubers happy! :D <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

like there are a lot of good possibilities in this sector. I feel very

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you believe I’ve been living in other countries
and speaking Spanish for a whole year now? I only have six months of my mission
left. It’s a lot - but it’s also like nothing because I know that will go by
super fast. I don’t know whether I feel happy, nervous, or sad that my time is
nearly finished here. It’s strange. My second trainer, Hermana Tejerina from
Bolivia, goes home in one week. Also Hermana De Leon, who I lived with in
Chillancito, is leaving. It’s weird/sad that so many of the missionaries I’ve
gotten to know are starting to finish their missions and leave. I can’t believe
how time flies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week I feel like God has blessed us and guided
us to where we should go. We had many instances where things all seemed to
happen as if planned and we were really in the right places at the right time.
This hasn’t happened often on my mission, and then this week it seemed to
happen all the time. It made me so happy, like I was really doing something
important. :) Hopefully next week we will continue to have more success.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This has been a good week! Not necessarily a
whole lot of "success", but good nonetheless, with some little
miracles here and there. I have had very few migraines lately, which has been
awesome! :) My companion and I are getting along well, and we have high hopes
for our still newish sector. We are having very slow progress since we’re both
new here, but things are getting better. Hopefully we will have more and more
success in the coming weeks.<span style="color: #535353; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are more members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints per capita in Chile than there are in the USA. The
church website reports 583,359 members in Chile, which has a population of
17.62 million (3.3%). There are 6,398,889 members in the USA, with a population
of 316.1 million (2.0%). In contrast there are only 59,389 members in South
Africa with a population of 52.98 million (0.1%). So there are a lot of members
of the church in Chile. That explains why we find so many less actives when we
are out talking to people in the street. Interestingly, almost all of the less
actives desire to come back to church (or at least realize they need to be
going to church), but it’s super hard to get them reactivated. It’s a lot like
gaining weight. It’s harder to loose weight than to gain it. It’s also harder
to become reactivated, than it is to just stay active. I don’t know if that
really makes sense, but it did in my head. </span></div>
