Hola Familia!
How is everyone??? I was happy to get emails from Amy and Brittany this week to see how they are doing along with Mom and Dad. Glad to hear the family is well and everyone is happy. Life here in Chile is starting to turn cold! Way way cold, with rain just about every day and a lot of cloud cover. My companion says that this is how its going to be for the next 6 months, holy cow!! Well, I´m prepared for it because I got a ton of winter gear to keep warm, so I think I'll be ok. Its just the mornings that are going to be hard because the whole house is always way way cold in the mornings! We are still having pretty good success here in our sector with our progressing investigators and also getting a couple of less active members to come to church, that was way awesome to see them there!! We did a 3 way 24 hour companion exchange this past Friday to Saturday and I stayed in my sector and had Elder Campozano as my companion again, but I led my sector! It was a bit hard because I answered our cell phone that we have to keep in contact with all the other sectors that my companion is head of because he´s District Leader and it was all Spanish!! But I did good and that day with Elder Campozano and it went well also. We talked to a lot of people and a couple of people as possible investigators. We taught almost the whole first lesson on a door step to a man, it was way awesome! But we didn´t set up a return time to come back and teach, so me and my companion will have to go by and see if we can talk to him again. My Spanish is getting a whole lot better and I´m doing better with my door approaches and street contacts. Actually with Elder Campozano he was on the phone talking to the other Zone Leader for a second and there was a man walking towards us and I had this prompting that I needed to talk to him so I did it all by myself! I was way proud of myself!! But, we only gave him a little pass along card, but at least we were reaching out to him. I was happy about that. Also this week, me and my companion went to a members home who is older and she needed our service of cutting down some trees and that was way way fun! Just using an axe and cutting up some wood and watching the trees fall haha!! Me and my companion Elder Simons also did something way awesome on our fire place that we have in our home. It has a pan looking type top of it to it so I thought of the idea of cooking food on top of it because it gets way hot And we did it haha, it was way way good. We made burgers and eggs and sliced up hot dogs holy cow!! So freaking good I am becoming a chef out here guys!! haha We also had some fun at a members home one night after we read scriptures with them and talked with them about how we can be more obedient to the lord. We made some grills out of gum wrapper and put them on our teeth like the gangsters have, it was way funny haha! Not much else really happened this week besides what I´ve told you all but I have really felt the spirit very strongly and I love it so much! I know that through my obedience to the Lord and to myself I will feel this feeling always. I love you all and miss you all very much! I pray for you all everyday for your safety and that the Lord will bless you all for my service to him and that he will help you all in your everyday lives with what ever you are needing help with that day. Again, I miss you all and hope you enjoy this weeks pictures!!
Love, Elder Blotter
