Not-so-weekly report of a Man on an Invisible Bench

So this week was pretty interesting. WE have done more contact then I have ever done in my entire life, and I love it. We went and did early morning contacts in the metro (subway) and it was awesome, we took the longest route and contacted everyone in site. I walked in one train and seeing that it was pretty much empty and all the seats where taken, I sat on the wall, and when the people sitting down looked at me I simply sayed invisible bench. From there I contacted the ones there were laughing. I talked to this one girl for a really long time, but before I could get the reference I had to get off. But I did give her a Plan of Salvation Leaflet. It was super cool, she works with dieing people. She is like the nurse that takes care of the people that are almost over the edge, but she doesn't believe in God, so hopefully she can be found. But yeah, that was about the coolest thing of the week, the rest is pretty tranquilo. Love you all and hope your life is awesome.

Not-so-weekly Report from Lemons to Oaks

Ok, so this week was awesome but I don't have much time.  Big things that happened in the mission, and in my life is that I moved. I went from one ward to the one right next to it. We were running from one house to another trying to say goodbye to everybody (and if you know me I don't run -.-) just to find out that I was going to be in the next ward, and we would see them all every week. So luckily I wasn't the only one that left so no one can say they did a big party just to have me go to the next ward. But hey the good thing is that I pretty much know everyone, or have seen most of them. The Bishops super cool, and my comp is fetching awesome. His name is E' Mendoza. But yeah, everyone and things are doing great, I'm not dead, so that's a good thing. love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-so-weekly Report of Mr. Pancake


Well, to sum up my ward we have like 5 people that work, 10 that don't do anything and are on the point of inactivation and 50 that are inactive( and thats just the ones we know of) But despite all of that, everythings great. We are working hard and getting results. There is a family that we are teaching and they are pretty much awesome I think I talked about them before, but they are heading toward the waters of baptism. We went with the Primary president and she made an invitation to them to read the LDM and write what they are feeling in a book and they accepted. They are also going to come to general Conference, its going to be awesome . Also another cool experience we had with a member is we went to an investigator we have and he was on the point of dieing (not being able to take the lessions be cause he smokes and doesn't think he can dejarlo. The member we took is Hna Amada who is a recent convert that stopped smoking, and she is on fire. She Contacts everyone in her block and most of them are drug dealers. So we took her to this old man and she gave him palo with love. It was amazing, her testimony is so strong, and she really helped him. There were a few things that dropped the leccions, we had a time that we went with he members to invite the less actives to church, but there was a lack of communications and we wasted more time then we needed to. SO that was a bummer, but the people came to church so it seemed to have worked. But thats about it. Love you all and hope you week isawesome. 

Love E' Whetten

p.s I also learned how to make pancakes

Not-so-weekly report of no name

Well as you can imagine this week was interesting. Lots of food because of the Chilean Independence day, and lots of scared people, because of the Earthquake. But it was a good week all the same. It did have its low points though. One of which was that we ate breakfast with investigators, a ginormous lunch (which we didn't finish) and everyone around us giving us food. You may think that this is every missionary dream, but trust me when you are about to loose you lunch while trying to eat it its not a pleasant experience. But it is an experience that one can only have on the mission (at least I hope). But anyways we did have some cool storys this week. A couple weeks back we found what can only be called a golden family. Its a mom and her two daughters, the oldest daughters boyfriend. When we found them the boyfiend came out of the house, he looked like one of the most unlikely people to receive the gospel, and he let us in. We met him, and his girlfriend, then the Swegra showed up, and joined. Then Sunday they all came to church. Yesterday we taught them the restoration. We also taught a part of the Plan of salvation Because Pricila (the mother of everyone) has had a really hard life, her father and mother died when she was young, just tuff stuff, and so we testified of the Atonement  and the Resurrection. Then somehow we tied it all back to the Restoration and just made a spiritual Bomb and it was amazing. When we asked if they would be baptized the older daughter said yes altido, them came the other three. It was AMAZING! Then to top it all off we went to the Temple today, which is always a spiritual boost. Love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-so-weekly report of a fat man in a lemon tree

The week was good. WE had to stay in our house for a whole day because of Joven Combatiente, where everyone and their dog goes crazy for 24 hours. But nothing happened in our sector so its all good. It was good to have a break (a forced break but and one where we could do much of anything but a break none the less) to recharge the battery a little more. We did have some cool experiences doing contacts. We found this lady and we taught her right there on her door step. she was asking all sort of questions and everything, it was super cool. We also went to a old investigators house, we had contacted it before, but we thought "why not, could be fun" so we went up and someone else answered. A man that just looks as pissado and can be, and he lets us in and we teach him his wife, his niece and his mother in law. It was really cool, and when we were leaving he asked us if there was any doctrine study because he really likes our doctrine. But like always there is a couple of people that aren't to happy to see us. Yesterday someone asked us "¡Que te cree!" and when we tried to explain who we were he just tried to fight, so we left. But hey, when is that not going to happen.

Saturday we had a really cool activity for Chilean Independence day. There were games and food, and we were guilt tripped into playing along. But hey free food and good environment for the investigators. Today we tried to go to a rodeo but it wasn't going on that day, but it was still cool because it came with a fair I took a picture of an alpaca (careful they spit), so yeah that was fun. 

Love you all and hope your week is awesome.
