Monday
so on monday y had to do my pasport stuff and so we went to viña again which is now like an hour away haha! it feels wierd to not be in viña anymore after having been there for like a year and a half! ahah and then we taught the mom of a convert here and it was good. she hasnt really wanted to have any real commitment and so it was some progress that we had!

tuesday
i went on interchanges and its really wierd! we had to travel 2 hours to get back to the place where we had worked at. haha it was really funny i was with the district leader and it turns out that he is from Jordan High School. haha he was on the other side of the stadium when they destroyed us in football my senior year. haha we didnt talk to much about that but he definetly holds that one over my head quite a bit. and other than that we shared a really good lesson with some less actives there about Justice Mercy and Repentance and it was really interesting to see who people as they come to understand about the Gospel and how important it is they want to change their live and be better. it was a good lesson. my old companion elder brock taught me a lot about that im really grateful for that!

wednesday.
so when we traveled again for 2 hours to get back home we found a new investigator named Sandra. she is way catholic but after we taught her and went back to teach again she said that we were wasting out time teaching her and that she didnt want to listen anymore...... so haha that is that CHOW PESCOW!!!!

Thursday.
we taught our really good investigator Esteban! he is really awesome! and we had a good lesson about regonizing the spirit and gaining a testimony. we watched Pres. Utchdorfs talk from October about that one and it was really good one! and we taught some converts and it was a good lesson. we are trying to baptize the rest of this family and we are getting close to it!

Friday.
so our pension had to be painted so we got to paint the study room in out pension so that was really fun and we did that for like 5 hours! haha the smell of paint filled my nostrils.... you would be proud of me mom! THE ETHINGTON PAINTING CRAZE GOES STRONG!!
and then we taught a REALLY smart guy named cristian we can teach him in english and we are really excited to teach him more because we both thing that he could be a bishop! he is super awesome he has just got a complicated life!! and we taught marcos and he is awesome to and he is in the miilitary also so that is fun to teach him and he wants to read the book of mormon before making a decision... haha so he is going to be converted REAL QUICK!!!

Saturday.
.......... we litterally walked all day long. we went to the fields part of our sector and we probably walked 20 miles all together that day. haha it was interesting... i prayed a lot that day haha but we survived!!

Sunday
Marcos came to church and we taught the rest of that part member family and they all listened so we are going to start making progress with them and im postive that they are going to get baptized very quickly!!

this sector has a lot of potencial!!!

so i read the sacrament prayers in the B.O.M. today and i realized that almost all the questions that we have in our life can be answered by taking the sacrament or thinking about it! its really cool!! iinvite you all to really apreciate the sabbath day and make it a blessing in your lives!!

Love you All! Pray for the investigators! my comp! and the Sector!! Please!!!!

monday
so we had a good day and we taught a less active incomplete family but they live together and arent marries so we are doing a slow work with them and making sure that they have testimonies so that they want to start doing changes in there lifes and start living the gospel. we also taught Jose and Franco. Jose get baptized a little while ago and Franco is and investigator (1 of the 2 that we have, YIKES!!!!! LOTS OF PRAYERS PLEASE!!) and Franco is doing really well ann we are just trying to give him a testimony but he needs a sprititual experience so that he will accept a baptism date. he is way smart for a 10 year old!!

Tuesday.
so on tuesday we had to go clean for the zone conference that we were goign to have on wednesday and then we taught a lady that is a recent convert and also slipping in to less active mode and so we have been passing by a bit to try and get her to come to church. she didnt come yesterday but we are going to see if we can get her to really commit to coming even if the whole world is buring down! and then we taught Eliana. she is understanding stuff a lot better now but the guy that she is "living with" just is hanging on still and doesnt want to leave! and then we did contacts and visited other people for the rest of the day!

wednesday.

LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 25th 2015

well this week was really good adn i think it was the week that i have contacted the most poeple in the street in my entire mission! haha it was kind fun to see how people react talking to them!

we had the grand son of Jose come to church! Franco, thats his name, is really good and but hasnt been able to come to church for the last 3 weeks and so he hasnt been progressing adn really it was fun to see him and he looked like he loved it when we saw hiim afterwards! im really hoping that he accepts a baptism invitation becuase he is so awesome! my other convert matias and his grandma Eliana are doing really good! Eliana cant get baptized yet because he Boyfriend, as of 43 years ago, is just barely hanging on to his life!! so the guy got diabetes way bad and he had a heart attack i think and it put him in bed and since then he has been going down hill. from what the doctors say, his heart is the size of a 10 year olds and he has to be fed through a syringe!! he cant even talk!!!! haha so we are just waiting for him pass away and then she will get baptized!! i really hope that i can see Eliana get baptized! shes awesome!!!

i just talked to the guys from where i bought my adapter and i can change it next week when they have a replacement!! so i should be sending some pics next week!! ive got some winners! as we rednecks say!!!

hey mom thank you so much for the print out!! that looks awesome and once again!! YOU SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME AND STRESS!!! YOU ARE A HUGE BLESSING IN MY LIFE!!! haha but mom seriously i just want you ot know that i love you and im really grateful for the chance that i have to be with you for eternity as a happy functional disfunctional family!! but i will also have my wife haha........... I may or may not have proposed to a girl.https://mail.google.com/mail/e/gtalk/338


love you bye 


May 18th

well im doing a lot better. haha i went to the doctor and i had all my results and i litterally dont have anything wrong with me. haha i have had an irritated intestinal system lately but with the pills that i am taking they help me a lot! i was even able to finally fast for the month on saturday and i felt really good! we hadnt been able to because of A FEW complications with the bowels.... just a few! so basically they just told me that i need to finish taking my pills that they have given me and then if it happens to me again i can call and they will start the process over again so we will see. haha we had a good week though.
so i forgot to tell you guys that Elder Dalton is now in my district AGAIN!! haha he got called to be the new financiero de la misión! haha and we were able to do interchanges and it was really freaking aweomse! haha we had a really good time and it is so cool to see how much he has progressed from when i first saw him to where he is now! its a really big blessing and im supergrateful for him and what he has taught me on my mission. 

we have been teaching a couple of our converts grandkids and they are really good but they both didnt come to church so that is really kind of hard to be able to get them really actually trying to get baptized if they dont come to church! so we are going to work with them this next week on the WHY of coming to church and we will get them to church this week! as a zone we are kinda struggling right now and so we are really going to try and give the example and we are going to have zone conference with pres kähnlein (his last one) so im hoping that we will also be able to have a lot of help from that and get stuff going in the zone. mom what you said about excuses is really true!  we just got to do it!!

haha thats awesome that ely got his driver safety! haha i was talking about bow hunting with my comp this week and i really kinda want to go hunting. i dont really know why, but it sounds fun! the walking part will sure be easy! haha!

haha so what is this peacock story!? haha that sounds kinda interesting!

so mom i sent the newsletter for this month so go have some fun and make it look beatiful.! haha but seriously thank you for the newsletter last time it looked really good and it helped out a ton!  that pic of the profet came out a little rough because the printers arent very good here! the picture of the temple came out really good so pictures with that much light come out great!! thank you again for the help with this its make my life a lot easier and gives me a little more time to get stuff done on our free day!!

love you mom!! read alma 26:32 and apply it to you life and relationships with everyone! its aweomse and has help me alot!!


LOVE YOU!

May 11

haha so yesterday was freaking awesome!! haha its so funny how things can change in so short a time!" haha when i called you guys for the first time i was litterly like sweating and felt SOOOOOO nervous! yesterday i didnt get nervous to call you guys until i logged on to skype! haha i was even happier to see you guys this time than i was before! haha its so fun to be able to talk to you guys and i t blows my mind that with just a little computer i can talk to you guys from the other side of the world!! haha it so cool!!! (i feel like kip, from Napoine Dynamite, singing the technology song!)  well like i said i have been in the pension this whole week and my comp beat me at the chess match that we played. we had to play 3 tie breakers till he finally won. I, being the competive jerk that i am, have refused to play again for the safety of our companionship.. haha but seriously!



i was able to study a little bit more than normal this week and i got to read a lot of Jesus the Christ! its an amazing book and i recommend it to anyone that would like to understand the life of Jesus Christ and the Bible in the correct way. its awesome!!!

also i was able to study the part in Preach my Gospel about praying with faith!! i invite yo guys to read that as well becuase it has helped me feel the spirit more and also talk to our Heavenly Father as a PERSON. I know that He listens and that we as people WILL be better if we follow the commandments.

yesterday i was studying and i found a SWEET scripture!!    Behold, the kingdom is yours. And behold, and lo, I amwith the faithful always. Even so. Amen.


this is in doctrine and covanents 62:9

the Lord gives us all that we need "the kingdom" or you could say "the world". Now Him loving us perfectly give us this counsel and advice as to what we should do. "I am with the faithful always" so if we want to be happy in this life and always have the Lord on our side we need to be Faithful. as we are faithful He bless´s in His Kingdom and also in our life or our world! i really like this and i know that God love us enough to let us go through hard things in this life to be able to become like Him and his Son.

i m so happy to see you guys this next week and it will be awesome to talk to you guys in person next time!

love you guys!!

so this week was really kind of interesting!! so to start of we had interchanges with some elder and i was with the first english elder that i ever met in the mission! his name is elder hansen (typical gringo name haha but at least the people can say his name! a lot dont even try with mine!) and so we got work for a little and it took us 2 hours to just change comps because of traffic SUCH A WASTE OF TIME! haha and so that was a fun change and the wednesday my comp got sick with what i had 2 weeks ago and so we had to be in the pension for wednesday and thursday! i was able to read everthing that you guys sent me adn it was really good! the talk about courage by the prophet was really good and also the sleeping during the restoration haha that one was seriously what i needed to kinda wake myself up.,,,,,,... haha get it wake my self up.... and you gave me a talk about not sleeping........KNEE SLAPPER!!!https://mail.google.com/mail/e/ezweb_ne_jp/B9Bhttps://mail.google.com/mail/e/ezweb_ne_jp/334https://mail.google.com/mail/e/ezweb_ne_jp/B9E
we also had a meeting on friday with pres his wife and the asistents and it was really good! the spirit was way strong and really it was really fun to be able to be in that meeting. that is honestly one of my favorite things to about being a zone leader is that we can have these meetings! its such a blessing! DE VERDAD!! 
then lo and behold on saturday my sickness came back!https://mail.google.com/mail/e/gtalk/364
so i have been in the bathroom again and now im going go to the doctors appointment this time when i get one schedueled. haha its really annoying to have to be worried about it all the time! honestly its one of the most stressful things that has happened in my mission! haha its a joke! but i ddi have a cool experience yesterday! so i was really tired yesterday and just before we left i said a prayer and asked that i could be good enough to work till the end of the day with out problems so that we could actually work. and guess what!? i was totally fine for 6 hours of working and we taught 2 lessons and it was a pretty good day and when i was turing the key to the house my prayer had been answered and i was immediatley called to the bathroom again!! im doing good and i know that the Lord is goign to allow me to do what he really need me to do and i just need to believe in Him.

April 27,

haha that sounds really cool! haha its hard to understand that amber is home now haha! It just kinda  blows my mind that it is all passing by so fast! haha! and i actually dont hardly talk to anyone! we just talk by the group chat thing that we have haha.  i cant believe that josie is going to college haha i just dont understand. its kinda wierd how life is just starting to get here and its really fun to see what we can do with it all!!! haha


so this week we had a really good week!! so we had 2 baptisms! it was freaking awesome!! so i got to baptize both javier and jose! javier was awesome and a bunch of his family came who are less-active members and then his niece (who is older than him haha) came and she isnt baptized and she also came to church with javier and his mom for the confirmation and we are going to teach her this week and get her baptized as well!! haha! so jose also got baptized and it was probably the most special baptism that i have been able to take part in. so this guy was the national boxing champ when he was 23 years old and then he decided that it wasnt a job conducive to a happy family life, so he quit. then he has been working in a successful job for his entire life and also was super famous because of his boxing career and everyone and the dog litterally know him. haha. he had a heart attack 6 months ago and he almost died. because of his heart attack he then had to stop smoking (Gods Plan is Perfect) than after 5 months of not working he was helping his sons father in law and the missionaries in that city passed by and started talking to him. one of the missionaries who came to the mission with me talked to him. they then passed the reference to us and we started teaching him. more than that we almost gave up trying to find his house because it wasnt easy to find at first. The man has had everything that the world has to offer and he regonized that he was missing something in his life. when he came up out of the water he had his hands to his face and i thought that he was wiping the water from his face. turns out he was crying. crying because he knows that he has been cleaned from the sins of the world and that he has started a new life. he gave me a hug and cried on my shoulder and i have never felt so acutely the Spirit testify to me that Baptism Cleans us of our sins and makes us whole. Jose is honestly one of the biggest examples that i have and im so SO SO SO SO SO SO grateful for the calling that i have to teach people about the gospel of  faith in Jesus Christ and Repentance! I love being a missionary:) 

we now dont have a lot of people to teach and we need to get finding!


mom here is the copy of the words an how they need to be written!
i will type it out next time for you!
Bueno, espero que les haya ido muy bien este mes y que realmente hayan hecho lo que es lo más importante para ustedes!! Ustedes son muy especiales y sepan que Dios les ama!
Este mes pudimos escuchar al profeta y los 12 Apóstoles, quiero agregar mi mensaje a lo que ellos dijeron y especialmente a lo que el profeta dijo. El Templo puede y debe ser el centro de nuestras familias. El templo nos brinde paz y felicidad en los momentos más débiles. No tenemos ser PERFECTOS pero tenemos que ser DIGNOS. No son los mismo, hay una diferencia….Al ser dignos al entrar el templo nosotros cumplimos con los requisitos que Dios ha mandado, atreves el Profeta y los 12. Si no somos dignos tenemos que arrepentirnos. Es sencillo y nos hace feliz. Hagamos los cambios para que entremos en el Templo todo juntos y participemos del Espíritu des Señor. Que el sea el centro de nuestras vida. Hagamos los sacrificios para ir.
¿Somos como el pueblo de Rey Benjamín? Mosiah 2:5-6
Estuvimos caminando en la Calle Valparaíso en el centro de Viña, y de la nada avele de asado! Que rico! Empezamos a buscar de donde venía… lo encontramos y un hombre estaba al lado al parilla. Después también vi que el hombre tenía una sierra! Las ganas que tenía se me fueron y también nos fuimos nosotros. De alli para comprar almuerzo mas rico, a un hombre menos peligroso!
Busquen las respuestas en las palabras de los profetas! Se que las encontraran!


i would send you pictures but now my card reader broke..... again! haha i will send them next week love you 

April 20

haha well mommy im feeling better! haha i still have to go to the bathroom a random times but im better than i was! haha thursday it got bad and they schedueled an appointment with the doctor for next monday! the health care here is so slow! hahah that was the next closest time i could go but ill survive! haha but since then i ahve felt better! haha its was fun this week and we had a good turn out at church! in total we had 5 investigators come to church and we are totally going to have 2 baptisms this weekend! haha it is going to be awesome! onve one of them was a boxing champion of Chile who has litterally everything he could want and he just told us. " i have a house family, money, everybody knows me, and i still feel like i need something else, and its God, thats what i need!" basically those are the most blessed words someone can say to a missionary and oh how blessed we are! hahah he is acepting everything and really we are going to  have a really fun time this week! haha we have got a ton to do but we will get it all done! hahha! im so excited! its going to be awesome! 
i got to go on interchanges with one of my old comps elder campzano and man was it fun to see! hahah i was able to tell him how thankful i am for the time that we had together and what i could learn. it was interesting becuause when i was with him he cut me a couple time for things that i was doing that werent obedient and i really made the decision with him that i was going to be obedient because I WANTED TO BE OBEDIENT.  i really feel like that was when i felt like it changed from being MY mission to the LORDS MISSION and we all know that that, is what will really bring peace and happyness into our lives and we will come out victorious in the end!! im really grateful for what i could learn from him and for the chance to thank him for it also! i also saw a guy that was cooking a BBQ and then he had a saw in the other hand so im not totally sure what kind of meat he was cooking but i sure didnt buy anything from him!! 

the new converts are doing really well and they are just hungry to learn and they have the Holy Ghost to help them whch is really cool to see how it helps so much and they learn and absorb everything so easily! haha its really fun to see!!

mom speaking of that i was wondering if you could help me with my converts!!! so  im just doing a monthly news letter that im sending and i was wondering if you could help me with it and make it look cool and pretty at the same time, so that i can print it and send to my converts that i have! could you get it to me by next monday if i sent it to you?

for all the college stuff i cant log on to anyother website unless its the church website and this email page to write you guys so if you wanted to send me the essays of the stuff that i need to write out and then i can get it too you in photos. and then ill just sign up for the spring semester. do you know if i still have my scholarship from weber state?

i hope you guys get rained on and then you go snowboarding or sledding in the mountains to take advantage of what you guys got! 
love you all and thank you for all your prays!! mom im going to keep on  smiling! haha you should look up this video called El Poder de la Sonrisa haha we watched for a counsel with pres and it was pretty funny! its going to be weird that he changes but ive heard from alot of people that our new pres is reallly loving. haha he will be my pres for 2 months so i guess ill get to know him a little! haha ill miss president Kähnlein and Sisiter Kähnlein though! they are really awesome people!

i love you guys so much and we will be seeing each other in like 3 weeek with the motherday call!


CHOW CHOW!!
