Not-So-Weekly Report from a Servant of the Lord.

This week was incredible. First Jeannot was baptized, I was smiling from ear to ear, and it was just incredible. Then Monday we had a presentation about Family History. IT was really good. The teacher went off on the subject of science and  God. Which is a topic that I love, just to see the paths of the Lord in the smallest of everything. Then she told us something that I will never forget. She said you have been set on a level and we can't look down. We need to stay on that level. It was just super cool. Then yesterday we had someone pretty much interrogate us trying to make us doubt our beliefs. We can't explain our religion with logic. We cannot prove our message with any science. It is something that is true, but you cannot explain it to someone that doesn't want to know. The saddest thing is that he thinks that by doing what he is doing he can have the same as us. That heaven is something easy, help people but nothing more. But it does not work like that, we have much more to do, and we cannot do that through any other way then through the priesthood of the Lord. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.

Not-So-Weekly report of MR Bilingual

This week has been really good, we are finding people like crazy, the only problem is keeping them. But thats the rule. But something cool that is happening is that we are preparing Jeannot, our Haitian friend, for baptism this Sunday. He is so cool, and literally how everything happened is a miracle. with him not speaking spanish and everything, with his house (i'll explain later) and just everything. Its so cool to see the hand of God in this work. Other then that, just some crazy contacts and finding people that want to listen to us. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.

Not-So-Weekly Report of the Men in White

This week was really good. We had a baptism, which is pretty awesome. I had to play the piano for it, and they only told me like 5 minutes beforehand. So yeah, found out a new talent. Other then that life has been pretty normal. We went to MIM, which is pretty cool. I have to go. Love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-So-Weekly report of the Local Sufari guide.

I know I probably didn't spell that right, but I really don't care. Anyways, today we went to the Zoo, it was pretty sick. WE tried to see all the animals, but some were hiding. But we still saw alot. I won't name them all because that would be a waste of time and frankly idiotic. Lets just leave it at it is a zoo. So that was fun. Another cool thing that is happening is that our Hatian friend is going to get baptized this Sunday. Its super cool. WE have been working so hard with him to get him to this point. And its not  always easy because neither of us speak Hatian or french, but we make do with what we have. Its super cool to see the effect that the spirit has on people, no matter the language. I am so blessed to be a part of this and to see it. Other then that the week has been pretty normal, nothing big has happened, just talking to people about the gospel, and stuff. WE also found a really cool couple that are super interested. WE taught pretty much all the leccions in one, and all because he was asking questions. It was super cool. So we'll see how it goes. Love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-So-Weekly Report of a Derby Downer

Ok, so last week was kinda sucky, but it was worse that I said it. Truthfully the mission is great, and one can make it good if you want to. This week I finally received something that I asked my Mother to send, a diary of my great great great great grandfather. and lets just say that his mission was a whole lot harder then mine. He was rejected from entire citys, I'm just rejected at a few doorsteps. He almost died from heatstroke, I only have to deal with a bit of rain. HE was told, to his face, that he would have no success, and lived in the middle of sin city (thats how he described it), while I have members that help, and the only person telling me that we are wasting our time is myself. I pretty have no reason to complain. Life is great, and if it rains, let it pour. Lets just say that my great great great great grandfather is a boss that is just epic. 

Anyways this week was a good week. WE have been Teaching Jannot alot. HE is a Haitian that has been here is Chile for 1 moth and 3 weeks. He is learning Spanish and really quickly. We also got permission to learn french because alot of Haitians come here to find a better life. So in that we are doing our best to be able to teach them when we find them. So thats cool. We also had one of our investigators go to church this Sunday, it was awesome. She is one of the one that the missionary's stopped going by her house but she still reads and everything, just its kinda hard to find her. But that is the long and short of it. Love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-So-Weekly report of one of those "Just Add Water, Watch It Grow" toys

Ok, so this week was incredibly wet and kinda sucky. Wet I do well in, my cop hates it. WE passed through 2 days of pure rain, and one of the many attributes of a Chilean is that if it starts to sprinkle you do not leave the house. Not even to answer the door, and we just so happened to not have anything sure planned. Everywhere we went we contacted, but we found very few, and no one wanted to let us into there house. But I guess one has to pass through such times to understand and appreciate the good times. We also had 2 investigators drop us, one doesn't believe in the bible and the other wants to do a personal search to see if its true. (oh and by the way the first one was our golden from last week, she loved the church, just not that they talked about the Bible) So yeah, that is never fun, but eventually they will receive it in its fullness. Just it won't be through me. In other news the water got turned off for a day and we all freaked out. We couldn't bath, wash the dishes and do things like that. But it got turned on again before we died. and all that happy good stuff. But by Chilean law we couldn't have our sacrament meeting that Sunday, and our bishop didn't think it would be right. But there was a ward next to us was porfiado and had Sacrament meeting anyways, so we went there. Other then that my life is pretty normal, contacts, leccions and just stuff in general. I love you all and hope for the best.

Not-So-Weekly Report of a Wanna Be Pirate prt. 3

So yeah, we had the boat, the peg-leg and the eye-patch, now we have a parrot that actually sits on the shoulder of someone, and it bit me. So that was cool. The lady that has the parrot also has a pug, the parrot and the pug are worst enemys. Its pretty funny. If the lady puts the cage on the ground for to long the pug goes and pees on it. and the parrot goes into the doghouse just to bug the pug. 

Anyways this week was good, lots of contacts, but that ok, I like contacts. Its like a surprize box. You never know whats on the other side of the door. And sometime you find people of gold. This week we talked to a girl, she is studying and has alot to do and feels really overloaded. We talked about it and how she could find peace int the church. Then we invited her to church and she accepted. So that sunday we took her to church, we were a bit late but we got there right when people started to bare their testimony and it was just awesome. Then it got really quiet and stay that way until the end. It was pretty weird, but what can you do. Then she went to the classes and had an awsome experience. Pretty epic. Thats pretty much the week, love you all.
