Hey Yall,
Well, it´s the week of Cambios in here in our little mission down in Chile. Don´t worry, Elder May and I are staying together here in Camilo. We´re getting another Latino in the house to replace Elder Swenson, because he´s headed back to the US! Yay for ending missions! Elder Kamalu, my Trainer, is also going home. We´ll see what the both of them do once they´re back on American Soil. :)
The fun story for the week is about a referral we received. I should start off by saying that our area does not have a very set line for the edge. We are right in between two other sectors and the one just south of us is incredibly vague concerning where it ends. Anyway, we received a referral to a street about where the line is, so we decided to go exploring to find him. We walked all the way out to the hill, went up the hill and to the other side. It started pouring rain while we were walking, so we got thoroughly soaked. We found the street easily enough, but the number didn't exist. So, we started knocking doors. After coming out of one of the houses, we ran into the President´s daughter from the other Branch where the line is vague. She told us all about how dangerous it is in that part when it was dark and asked about what we were doing. In the end we found some nice people to pass over to the other missionaries in the area to the south. It was a fun experience. :)
With the rain that day, we were actually without power almost the entire day the next day. It was not good considering we have an electric shower. So, we showered with Cold Water.
This is going to be an exciting cambio, with 2 new missionaries out of the MTC in our Zone. We´re really excited because there are several people we´re going to baptize! Wahoo!

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...
