<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, here it goes. The last email of the mission. That’s weird. Really though, the mission has just been the best. I’ve laughed so hard (for real though so hard), and cried a few times, and been frustrated with Spanish until I found out how to speak it, and felt so lucky to meet so many really truly incredible people. It’s been the greatest thing ever, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t going to miss it. But all good things must come to an end because there are other adventures out there.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you who’ve been reading my emails every week, thanks for hanging with me, haha, even when I didn’t write a few weeks, or wrote close to nothing. Just know that it’s been fun trying to keep you filled in on everything I’ve been doing, even if I couldn’t always remember what it was :)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You know what the coolest thing of my mission has been? Becoming really truly converted to the gospel and learning to trust wholly and completely on the Lord. You learn really fast in missionary work that you just can’t do it without his help. It’s been a humbling experience that’s brought me much closer to him, and it’s helped my testimony grow light-years. That to me is awesome! :)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A year and a half compared to a life time really isn’t anything if you think about it, but I’m 100% sure that this year and a half is going to help me for the rest of forever (bad grammar I know, sorry).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you reading this who are members, let me share with you, once again, one of my favorite scriptures. It’s Alma 37:6, and it says, “Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.” Do the small and simple things. Read you scriptures…daily. Say your prayers…daily. Go to church and to the temple. All that good stuff makes the big difference.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To those who aren’t members, I share the words of the prophet Moroni when he said, “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.” Find out for yourselves if this is all true or not.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And to everyone, I love you guys. You’re all great, and I’m excited to see you again :)</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As a representative of Jesus Christ I leave you all with the invitation to come unto Him. Come unto to Him with fullness of heart, in your actions, words, and thoughts. Come unto Him, and let him make you whole. Let him make of you the person you can never become on your own. I love this gospel and I know it’s true. I know that Jesus Christ really lived, suffered, died, and lives again for each and every one of us. I testify that he is the Savior and Redeemer of the world and that he leads and guides His church today. I love this gospel and I know it’s true. And I share this testimony in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen .</span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">There will only be two more letters from Hannah, this being one of them. Her last letter will be next Monday. She returns home on Friday, January 29th. That next Sunday, the 31st of January, she will speaking in church, telling about some of her experiences serving in Chile. If you are interested in coming, the meeting starts at 9:00 am and is located at 1320 West Schaumburg Road, in Schaumburg. All are invited.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Here's this week's letter:</div>
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Alright ladies and gents,
here come the highlights of the week, and probably a lot of random thoughts:</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- My comp's head isn't
feeling too much better, but she's been tired of being in the house, so we got
to leave a little bit more this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- We had a Family Home
Evening with the members who live alone, the new members in the ward, and those
who are the only members in their family, in the church building on Monday.
It was way fun! We're having another one today and we plan on playing
kickball. Woohoo!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- One day una abuelita
called us to help take her to the post office and we said yes! Turns out
it was a trap! Haha, she's a really sweet lady who just needed some
company. She didn't even have to go to the post office, but while we were
out we stopped to buy her an ice cream cone. Only afterward did she tell
us she didn't know how to eat it... oops! While she was eating it she
dropped it on the floor but said, "this is too good, I'm not losing
it!" so she picked it up, wiped it off with a napkin and just kept
right on eating it :) At least she enjoyed it right? Right :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- We were contacted by
a cop from Santiago vacationing here in Purranque. He seemed really
interested in the church, but was going to Santiago again. Good thing
there are missionaries all over the place!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- La familia Gonzalez
gave us completos one day for dinner. I'm going to miss them (both the
familia Gonzalez y los completos)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- Had an awesome
lesson with Felicita, one of our investigators, in which she bore a really strong
testimony that she knows this gospel is true, and that she's received so many
blessings after meeting with the missionaries. She wants to get baptized
so bad, but her pareja (sorry I can't remember how we say that in English)
doesn't want to get married yet. But once they get married she is baptism
ready!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- We found a cool new
investigator named Lucy! She really likes what she's learning<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- We had an awesome
lesson with Manuel, a guy who's visiting from Puerto Montt, and la Hna Sonia
went with us. Members, you guys really don't know how much you can help
with your simple powerful testimonies. He's going to keep listening to
the missionaries in Puerto Montt<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- Hno Moll, he's a
little abuelito member here, ate lunch in a member's house with us and the
members this week, and HE IS SO FUNNY. We laughed so hard. They
asked him to say the blessing on the food and he just said, "they always
ask on the youngest to say the prayer." And then he said so many
other funny things during lunch. haha, sorry if you don't think it's as funny
as I did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- Our house has slugs
and Hna Schroeder is terrified of them. She found one of their happy
trails in her bed yesterday and I don't think she's ever going to be able to
sleep ever again<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- And the coolest
thing of all.... Mary y Patricio said they want to get baptized on Feb
20th :D They've been meeting with the missionaries for almost a year
and they finally feel like they're ready for baptism. It was an amazing
lesson, completely guided by the spirit. It was cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Don't forget that
sometimes things happen a whole lot differently than what we would like, but we
just need to roll with the punches, put our trust in the Lord, and look for the
blessings that are all around us. I found a cool scripture today in my studies
from when the prophet Mormon is talking to his son Moroni about all the bad
things and the destruction of his people (a whole civilization) and he said,
"My son, be faithful in Christ, and may not the things which I have
written grieve thee... but may Christ lift thee up, and may his sufferings and
death... and his mercy and longsuffering, and the hope of his glory and of
eternal life, rest in your mind forever."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Basically if things
aren't going your way just remember to let Christ lift you up, that his grace
and mercy can help you out in whatever situation you find yourself. There
will be difficulties in life of every kind, but there are good things to
come. Just keep chugging along with your confidence placed in him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Oh, and just to let you all know, my companion
is so funny. We get along so well and we just laugh so hard all the
time. She's great and as she always says..."that's all
autobots, let's roll out!"</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Love you guys!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We almost killed a
missionary in a visual lesson activity gone wrong with the Zone. It was
tug of war, with an Hermana in a chair between the ropes. She did a back
flip and almost died, but thank goodness someone had ninja-like reflexes and saved
her life. That would have been really awkward explaining to Pres. Obeso what
happened if she'd gotten hurt. Haha, maybe I shouldn't laugh, but she gave us
permission, so it's ok. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hey guys!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
HAPPY NEW YEAR :) 2016. That's cool stuff.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Anyway, my companion has been sick this week with some head stuff, but we're getting it all worked out. The good news is that I got to study a ton this week. I read a lot of things by the Prophet and Apostles, and one talk I really liked was "On Being Genuine" by Elder Deiter F. Uchtdorf. He said:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">"With patience and persistence, even the smallest act of discipleship or the tiniest ember of belief can become a blazing bonfire of a consecrated life. In fact, that’s how most bonfires begin—as a simple spark.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So if you feel small and weak, please simply come unto Christ, who makes weak things strong. The weakest among us, through God’s grace, can become spiritually strong.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The Church is not an automobile showroom—a place to put ourselves on display so that others can admire our spirituality, capacity, or prosperity. It is more like a service center, where vehicles in need of repair come for maintenance and rehabilitation.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">And are we not, all of us, in need of repair, maintenance, and rehabilitation?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">We come to church not to hide our problems but to heal them."</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
It's an awesome talk. Look it up if you can.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
one time this week we did service. It was legit. I felt like Spiderman because we were on top of a roof. I almost fell off once, haha JUST KIDDING MOM. But don't worry it was completly safe, and fun.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Love you all tons and hope your week is full of faith, trust, and pixie dust!</div>

I have eaten so much food this week, I don't even think it's humanly possible, but it was a really fun week igual! Christmas was a little wierd because it's warm here, but it was still way cool. The 24th we were invited to the house of the Gonzalez Familia (they are so cool). We laughed so hard, and then I got to skype with the family, which was so fun but so hard. English is a real struggle sometimes. Haha, and then we had a really nice dinner with them :) They make me so happy, and they adopted us as their children... haha we even took a family photo with them after church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1451668867" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span>.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then on the 25th we had a gringo Christmas with Hno Vladimir y Hna Jeannete (our papitos). We ate cinnamon rolls and opened presents and everything, haha, they are so gringo for being Chilean :) </div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Then later in the afternoon una abuelita who lives alone invited us over for a Christmas lunch. She's a sweetheart :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
And this week we've been talking with EVERYONE we can, haha, but it's been fun. We even found a new family who is super interested in learning more, and they even acepted a baptismal date, so we'll just have to see what happens :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I love you all mucho and I hope you have a fun and safe New Year!</div>

wonderful time of the year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

awesome! I love it here! The members are super cool and they've
really made me feel like part of the family. We have some awesome
investigators, and there are two Elders in the Branch, which makes the work
even more fun. It's a pretty small, quiet town, and it isn't a tourist
attraction like my other sectors, but it's an awesome area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

surprise when I met Hna Schroeder because she told me I was going to finish her
training as a new missionary, and nobody told me before I met her! But
she's awesome. She's obedient, she works hard, and has a strong desire to
serve the Lord. Lots of good things are going to happen this cambio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Haha, a funny story
real quick. Well actually it isn't too funny, but I want to share it
anyway. The missionaries who finished the mission last week had some
REALLY bad luck. The day they had their flights scheduled, the airlines
went on strike, so they couldn't go home. After a few days the mission
sent them all to Santiago by bus, and I think that now they are finally
home. What a crazy going home story. But in the end it all worked
out ok. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hna Barrios and I keep going to her physical therapy sessions, but we still don't have permission to leave the house very much. We're working hard with what we can and the Lord is putting some incredibly prepared people in our path. We're super excited with the progress we're seeing. Even though it's been hard for us both to not work full power we know that the Lord has his purposes in all things. </div>

How's it going? Everything is just swell here in Frutillar. A week full of miracles and funny things that are probably only funny to my companion and I, haha.</div>

Hna Barrios thought she was invincible, haha, until we got home in the night, and her ankle started to hurt a lot. We learned from our mistake, and now we walk a little calmer :) haha, but she said it's starting to hurt less and that she can move it more too. Good news all around! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week we found some really awesome people to teach! We've visited a young family 3-4 times in the last 2 or 3 weeks, and they are really interested in learning more. They are named Yanira, Danilo, y Maite (4) and Yanira told us that she's religious, but she doesn't go to church or anything like that. We talked a little bit more and shared a scripture with her and she said, "I feel like if you're here it's because my family is missing something. I'd love if you could keep coming." When we taught them about a week later we asked them if they were able to pray about what we'd shared and she said she knew it was true, everything we shared :) We left them with a Book of Mormon, and then a few citas fell through because they had a lot of things going on, and the uncle of Danilo passed away. But when they saw us in the street they literally ran to catch up with us and say they were sorry for the dropped citas and ask us if we could visit them. Haha we said "YES!" all excited because That. Never. Happens. When we vitisted them again they said they each indivitually had a moment when they'd felt like reading the Book of Mormon, so they opened it up, and read a scripture, and it was exactly what they needed. The Book of Mormon is true people. I know it! They both said they couldn't explain exactly how they felt, but it was a good feeling that made them feel a little more peace (aka the Holy Ghost). They are seriously so awesome! And that's just a short story of a spiritual experience we had this week. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Keep doing the small things and looking for the small miracles everday. Keep your head up and focus on the things that really matter. Trust in your Heavenly Father because He knows YOU and He loves YOU.</div>

Haha, after she said goodbye to almost all the members in the branch we got a call saying that our cambios were changed, and that we were going to be staying together for a while longer :) We were both so happy!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
As for this week it's been pretty interesting. We went to the hospital again so they could examine her foot again, it was hurting a lot, and they said it was severe, but she had to keep walking a little or she could loose all mobility in her foot forever... forever... forever (imagine the kid from the sandlot saying that). They said she has to go to the kinesiologo for at least a month, and I even though I feel really bad for her, it'll be pretty cool to watch and learn a bit too. With the complications with the foot of Hermana Barrios we've mostly been in the house, but we leave for appointments that we have (it helps keep us from dying of cabin fever, haha). </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We had a really awesome lesson this week with Mónica, one of our investigators, and she told us how she grew to have a testimony of prayer, and that now she wants to pray. AND she asked us to leaver her something to read in the Book of Mormon. She is awesome. Her daughter is la Pauli who just finished her mission papers. I'm guessing South Korea, hahaha no probably Argentina. But we're happy that Mónica is progressing.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
This week I FINALLY saw Meet the Mormons! It was so good! I loved it so much :) If you haven't seen it you should see it because I say so, haha but really it's awesome.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Here's a scripture from my studies this week, 2 Nefi 2:6-8</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
"Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Wherefore, how great the importance to make this things known unto the inhabitants of the earth..."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
I know Christ lives, and that it is through him that we can find a lasting peace. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Mucho love a todos.</div>

some details last week, so here's the second attempt. Basically we had to
change houses because there were some problems with a neighbor, and the owners
were going to ask us to give them the house for the summer so they could rent
it to tourists. But the good news is that mi compañera and I are really
happy in our new house. The neighbor even brought us homemade bread one
day :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week I almost
died of diabetes because we thought it would be a good idea to have an activity
of desserts. But then everyone decided we should try them all to vote for
the best ones. It's a miracle I'm here and not in a diabetic coma,
haha <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oh boy, the elders
just called to tell us our cambios. Moment of suspense. I'll stay
here and Hna Braithwaite (obviously a gringa) will be my new compañera.
Hna Barrios will be headed to Los Lagos. Not really sure how she's going
to get there though because this week she sprained her ankle pretty bad and
we've been banished to the house with orders to rest her foot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But other than that
not too much has happened this week. I'm sure you know already, but the
apostle Elder Andersen gave us the challange to read the Book of Mormon before
the General Conference in April. As we read the Book or Mormon with the

kids from the primary told jokes. haha, it was awesome! And to finish the

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">WOOOHOOOO! We've been
looking for a new house for a few weeks (because we need to move), and we found
the perfect house. Perfect, really. BUT other people were
interested too, and the owners said they might rent it to whoever commited
first. We would have been more than happy to commit then and there, but
we needed approval from Presidente Obeso, who just so happened to be in Uruguay
this past week for a conference. URUGUAY. So that really complicated
things. But wait, there's more good news, the owners called us today and
said they still hadn't rented it and they wanted to know if we were still
interested. In my head I yelled "SÍ" really happily, but out
loud I said "sí" all calm cool and collected but still really happy,
haha. So moral of this story, we're finally going to be able to change
houses this week :D </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ok, well I said I'd have more
to write this week, but the truth is that not too much happened this
week. We had una Noche de Hogar with the branch, which was a ton of fun
:) My companion got sick, again, so we were stuck in the house a few days.
But the good news is that the weather was nice this week for a few days :)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">OH! actually I have a
story from last week. Hahaha. It's time for me to start my second visa so
I can stay here in Chile. Hna Barrios and I went like good obedient
children to el Registro Civil to start get mi papel de antecedentes, which is
basically a paper that says all the crimes I've committed in Chile, because
I've committed so many crimes, haha (don't worry Mom there are only two or
three, haha just kidding). But anyway we got to the doors and what did we
find? A huge sign that says they're on strike indefinitely. Bad news
bears. But the good news is that having a Chilean companion is really
useful. She said they had to help me because it was an emergency. So
after knocking the door a few times she said to the door that we only wanted to
ask a question, and BOOM! Miraculously someone came out to help us :)
haha, but they didn't help too much because, as the woman said, "we're on
strike and we aren't helping anyone." But they did give me a code
that I could use to print off my paper in an internet cafe. Still being
good obedient children we went to the internet cafe to print of the paper,
which required quite a bit of work, got to the point where we could pay, and
the website only accepted Chilean credit cards. NOOOOOOO. Luckily I have
mi CuentaRUT, it's kind of like a debit card for Chileans, but it doesn't have
any money on it. We had to go the the bank, wait in line, put some money
on the card, go back to the internet place and try again..... but it didn't
work. Back to the bank, another line, back to the internet place, we
tried again, but it still didn't work. Oops. The secretary of the
mission (he's in charge of all this visa stuff) told us he talked with a few
people and they said we could start my visa without the paper for now, so we
went on an adventure to Osorno and I signed some papers (I felt super
important). But it was super short the process in Osorno. They said
they'll eventually need the paper with my crimes, but who knows when that will
be. I guess the point of this story is that it's really hard for me to
stay legal here in Chile hahaha. Oh well, fingers crossed it all gets
worked out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She radiated happiness :) She has a huge fear of being submerged in water and said that she was so happy that day that it didn't even bother her. She's taught me so much about loving the people and serving them without expecting anything in return. Her happiness is contagious and she'll be able to help lots of people see the joy that comes from this gospel. And one of the coolest parts is that her brother who lives in Chiloe didn't think he was going to be able to make it to the baptism, but he did everything he had to do lickety-split and caught a 7 hour bus to make it JUST in time for her baptism. He literally ran to the church with two minutes to spare. It was an awesome surprise! :D</span><br />

If you get the chance you should all watch what's called "General Conference" this weekend. We'll have the chance to listen to the Prophet and the Apostles. Wooohooo! Take questions in mind and I promise you'll get answers; it's the best!</div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hahaha, so our week started
out interesting when we had to run to the house of a member for our exercises
to get our clean laundry because we literally had 0 clothes for the day and she
wasn't going to be home later in the day. But the good news is that we
had our clothes in time :)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As for the earthquake,
we didn't feel it at all here in the south, and the family of Hermana Barrios
is fine. Sorry that once again I don't have any cool stories to share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We had a really fun
week full of fiestas for the 18 de septiembre. In our District meeting we
played with an emboque (I'm an expert, ask my companion), and we laughed a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The 18 de septiembre
was full of empanadas and happiness because empanadas = happiness :) haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The 19th we went with
our investigador Gloria to an activity in Fresia for the fiestas patrias, and
more importantly for her baptismal interview! WOOHOO! Now we've offically
scheduled her baptism for the 25th at 6:00, and she is so happy.
We've seen her progress a ton in these past few weeks :) In the activity
I dressed in a vestido de china, a typical dress to dance la cueca, which is a
typical dance in Chile. I guess you could say I'm very Chilean now, not
counting my blonde hair or my gringa face, but they're only minor details haha
:) More empanadas, I learned to use el trompo, and I made a friend with
una niña from the branch in Fresia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And last but not least
we found out cambios, and we're both staying here in Frutillar :D<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hey guys :) So,
to give you a quick run down of the week, I think I love the month of
September. The chileans are all preparing for their independance day the
18th, so almost every house has a flag put up every day, the people are giving
us lots of food that is typical here for the 18th. Basically lots of
alfajores, empanadas, and happiness :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Our investigator
Gloria is really excited to invite her family to her baptism and to keep
learning more, but her daughter has been in the hospital in Puerto Montt this
week, and Gloria is taking care of her daughter, so we haven’t been able to
meet up with her as much as we’ve liked to. It’s been really hard for her
with her daughter in the hospital, but she’s keeping up a positive attitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This week the members
really raised the bar and helped out a TON with missionary work. They
invited their friends to meet with us, invited investigators to their house for
family home evenings, they went with us to visit investigators, less actives,
and knocked a few doors with us. It’s really amazing what can happen with
missionary work when the members participate actively. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Haha, you’ll probably
laugh, but in the mornings when I eat breakfast I’m trying to learn some
Portugues, so I listen to church movies in Portugues, haha :) It’s
pretty cool, but I think I’ll have to practice a lot more before anything comes
of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I’m sure other things
have happened, but my memory is failing me. Oops. ¿Qué vamos a hacer?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Keep being the
best! Celebrate the 18 de Septiembre :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
This week has been a little crazy. Lots of missionary meetings. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1356419200" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span> Pres. Obeso and his wife and the Zone Leaders took a trip to our house to inspect how clean it was (it's ok mom, we passed with flying colors, haha) and so we could have interviews with Presidente. They decided to stop by every house in the mission to make sure we don't die of dust or mold or something like that. Props to them, because the mission is pretty big. They've had a few pretty crazy weeks. Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1356419201" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> we had a Zone meeting, and it's always fun to see all the other missionaries. Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1356419202" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span> we had a district meet, and those are always super fun. Elder Montiel (our district leader) put me in charge of actividades de ánimo for each meeting. Basically I think of a game that has literaly nothing to do with nothing so we can have 5 min to think about nothing and laugh at ourselves. Not really sure if that's the real purpose but that's usually what ends up happening, haha :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We've also started a new program with the Rama to have Family Home Evenings with the members, where they invite a friend or another family of members so that we can all be strengthened spiritually and have a good time. It's been super fun and the members have reacted really well to the idea :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We keep working hard and we're seeing some people who really want to learn more and progress, so that's pretty cool. Other than that things are pretty much the same here. Living the mission life :) Oh! But we did have a whole week without rain. THAT was cool :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
As for some words of inspiration, "Don't worry, be happy."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
My memory of this past week is kind of a hazzy fog, partially because I can't remember too many details, and partially because with all the houses using their wood and fuego there is a lot of smoke. But it's all good, because I just remembered a few details :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
- The members helped us out a lot this week visiting lots of people and sharing the gospel. It's awesome to see their enthusiasm!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
- Our investigator Carolain said "I'd love to!" when we asked her if she would like to be baptized :) She's super awesome and she's already reading a ton in the Book of Mormón. Woohoo!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
- My companion got sick this week while adjusting to the weather. Pres. Obeso told her "I was waiting for any one of the new missionaries to get sick... all exept a Chilena!" and she responded "But my Chile has sun." Haha, but she's all better now</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
- Had an AMAZING Stake Conference, with lots of awesome talks. I particularly like the ones that talked about the importance of Members and Missionaries working together. M&Ms are going to be the new favorite candy in our Stake (... get it? M&M... members and missionaries... or miembros y misioneros en español)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
- After the Stake Conference session <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1836921128" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> night we needed a member to help us get back to Frutillar from Puerto Montt because the buses were a little sketchy, so we went with the Stake President and his wife because they live in Frutillar. They stopped so we could all eat a hamburger, and 5 min later Presidente Obeso and Hermana Obeso showed up at the fast food place because Presidente Obeso was hungry. Wow. that was a lot more explication than I thought it would be, but basically we ate hamburgers with Pres. Obeso, Hna. Obeso, the stake President and his wife. It was cool.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
All in all a pretty good week :) Love you all tons! Keep being the best and keep on keeping on</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Con amor,</div>

Wow. For real. We're working super hard and learning a ton too :)</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
This week we talked with lots and lots and lots of people, and found a lady who is awesome! She listened to missionaries before, but stopped because some people told her we don't believe in Christ. When we met her we watched "Gracias a que Él Vive" ("Because He Lives" in English.... I think), and it was really powerful. The spirit filled the room with a peace that I can't really describe, but she felt it and we felt it, and she's really excited to start listening to the missionaries again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Oh, and this week is the week of companions past, haha. When I went to the mission home to pick up Hna Barrios Hna Calderas was there to pick up her new companion too, and it was so awesome to see her again :D just as loca as always, haha. Then later that day all the missionaries who were finishing the mission were meeting up close to the mission home, and I got to see Hermana Bretón again :D it made my heart happy to see them both again</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
And, a scripture for the week:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
John <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1014517195" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:12</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Love you guys!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ok, this week I finally
decided to take notes about what happened in the week so I could fill you in on
some of the things that are happening in my life. I always mean to do it
but I usually forget, and then I stress to remember details, and in the end I'm
never actually sure what it is that I say to you all, haha. But it's all
good. Ya live and ya learn :)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I'll start out with
the sad news..... we found out cambios and Hermana Findlay is headed to Osorno
:'( It's been super fun with her and I'm going to miss her. I'll be
staying in Frutillar, and this is the info I know about my new companion:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="es-419" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- she's Chilean<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- I'm going to be her
first companion in the mission<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I'm super excited to
get to know her :) It should be a ton of fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">On top of all that
exciting news here are some of the other things that happened this week:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- well this is
actually from last week, but we saw a dog EXACTLY THE SAME as professor Lupin
in werewolf form. We got out of there lickity split because no we didn't
want to be attacked by a werewolf, not today (or that day for that matter)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- someone told me my
accent is a cool mix of central america with spain. Not sure how that
happened, but it's cool I guess<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- spent an afternoon
in Llanquihue with some other missionaries, spreading the gospel with everyone,
woohoo!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- my hair was making
me crazy because it was toooooooooooooooooooo long, so one day in the morning
Hermana Findlay cut my hair, haha, it was pretty funny :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- we played fruit
ninja for 2 seconds with the apple of hermana Findlay and my umbrella, and I
sliced it in two<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">- we saw lots of
miracles during the week, especially yesterday when we had an appointment with
a convert. We needed someone to go with us because he lives alone (for
this week only while his wife is in Santiago for work), and we couldn't find anyone
who could help us out. Then, very last min, a member and his wife pulled
up in their car when we were looking for a collectivo/taxi and they not only
drove us where we needed to go, but joined us for the appointment. It may
not sound like a super big miracle, but to us it was a MIRACLE. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And this week I also
found a quote that I really liked, so I hope you all like it too :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Do not expect to
become perfect at once. If you do, you will be disappointed. Be better today
than you were yesterday, and be better tomorrow than you are today."

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Keep working hard and
enjoying every day. If you go a day without laughing it's a day wasted,
so laugh, haha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="es-419" style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Hola, buena semana a todos!</span><span lang="es-419" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">To start
out, this week we ate lunch with the Famila Rojas and I don't </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;">think
I've laughed so hard in a long time :D They told the story of </span><span style="background: white;">when
their son finished the mission and I was going to tell it, but it </span><span style="background: white;">wouldn't
be funny in email, so you can all just imagine a funny story,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">haha.
But now I have new fears that when I finish my mission my </span><span style="background: white;">flight
home will get canceled for snow storms or something like that </span><span style="background: white;">because
Chicago is crazy. but the good news is I still don't have to </span><span style="background: white;">worry
about that for lots of time :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Later in the week we had
Zone Conference with the missionaries in the </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;">Puerto
Montt area with President Obeso and his wife, and it was </span><span style="background: white;">incredible!
Something I really liked was when he talked about our </span><span style="background: white;">prayers,
especially the ones when we ask for help. In the Book of</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Mormon
when the Brother of Jared built the boats to cross the oceans, </span><span style="background: white;">he
realized that they didn't have any light, and he got a little </span><span style="background: white;">melancholy
and said, "O Lord, behold I have done even as thou hast </span><span style="background: white;">commanded
me; and I have prepared the vessels for my people, and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">behold
there is no light in them. Behold, O Lord, wilt thou suffer </span><span style="background: white;">that we
shall cross this great water in darkness? </span><span style="background: white;">And the
Lord said unto the brother of Jared: What will ye that I</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">should do
that ye may have light in your vessels?" (Ether 2:22-23). </span><span style="background: white;">Basically,
the Lord knows our problems. He knew the Brother of Jared </span><span style="background: white;">didn't
have light in the boats, but many times we have to exercise our </span><span style="background: white;">faith to
ask specifically for the things we need. For example if we </span><span style="background: white;">need help
on a test we can ask that we'll be able to remember the </span><span style="background: white;">things
we've studied. Or if we want to share the gospel with a </span><span style="background: white;">neighbor
we can ask specifically in our prayers that we can have the </span><span style="background: white;">opportunity
to talk with our neighbor. Don't know if that makes as </span><span style="background: white;">much
sence as it makes in my head, but I hope you get the idea. </span><span style="background: white;">Specific
prayers receive specific answers, and the Lord is always </span><span style="background: white;">willing
to help us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This week we also had
intercambios, and I got to be a missionary in Puerto Montt for a day with Hna Dávila from Argentina. It was super fun and I learned a ton. We got to talk with an investigator named Gina, and WOW, she is incredible. She's had to pass through a lot of<br />
hard things, but she said that she was thinking about everything the sister missionaries had been teaching her since December, and she's decided to read the Book of Mormon to find out if this is all true or not. The Book of Mormon is really the evidence that everything we<br />
share as missionaries is true, and when we read it for ourselves and not others, we'll find our own testimony. I'd read the Book of Mormon a lot of times in my life, but it was always for others, not really because I wanted to read it and find out if it was true, but the very<br />
first time I started to read and study it for me, and not for others, it changed my life. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and that this really is the The Church of Jesus Christ on the earth once more. The moment I knew it was true is something I'll never forget, and I<br />
want everyone to be able to feel the happiness I could feel in that moment. If you don't have your own personal testimony of the Book of Mormon I want to invite you to start reading it for yourself. The moment will come when you'll receive your answer, and it will be<br />
incredible.<br />
<br />
I love you all so much and hope that you all have an awesome week! Stay
sweet!<br />
<br />
Con cariño,<br />

Lots of running around and working like crazy and seeing miracles, but all good things :)</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Lots of talking in different languages this week. We met some Brazilians on a bus and talked to them for an hour or so. They talked in Portugese and we responded in Spanish, but we could actually understand one another pretty well. Then we taught a lesson in English, and we met a few other people who talked to us in English. Fun stuff.</div>

Well, I can't remember a ton of details from the week, but we did make Chilean bread all by ourselves. We felt pretty accomplished :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
A thought for the week. Even though it can be hard we should all strive to learn to be happy in our circumstances. If we always say "I'll be happy when ________" we'll always be waiting for a happiness that won't come and we'll miss all the experiences we could have had and enjoyed everyday along the way. Choose to be happy! Sometimes it's as simple as that. Look for the good in every situation, and in the hard times remember that it won't last forever. There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel.</div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Haha, we had a pretty interesting week. I
came down with a cold, but a super cold. We had to baracade ourselves in
the house for a few days it was so bad, but I'm finally recovering.
Woohoo :) I'm pretty sure it's the same cold that keeps reappearing since
my first week in the mission, but they've got me taking antibiotics, so I've
got my fingers crossed that this will be my last report of sickness in the
mission.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">With that being said, not a ton happened
because I slept a lot and studied a lot, but I have to say that the scriptures
and the general conference talks are the best. They can give us a
spiritual boost to everyday, and we can find so many answers to questions and
prayers in the inspired words they contain. Read your scriptures people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And the best part of this week... Felipe got
baptized :) He is incredible! His testimony is so strong, and he
has such a strong desire to share what he's learned with everyone. It's
super cool being able to play a small part in the lives of these people and to
see the change that happens when people accept the gospel. I love this
gospel so much and I know it's true. I love the mission and I love Chile
more than words can describe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
