Hey Yall,

Well, we've had a pretty good week as far as fun experiences go. We cleaned up the house a lot and now have a table we play cards on (Don´t worry, monoply deal. We don't play poker or anything). We had a couple of great lessons with people this week, but the work is still a little slow. It's like that right now because our investigators aren't going to church. We could start putting goals for baptism with them, except their not coming to meet the people in church like the branch president.

However, we have several people that we are very excited to be working with. The other day we met Israel and Fabian, who said they spent time with the missionaries a few years ago before they disappeared. We went back the other day and the family is great. We met Judy, Fabian's wife, and their kids. They are a very loving family that wants to understand everything, so we're trying our best to help them. :)

We also went up the hill in our sector again the other day. We've been having troubles distinguishing the line between our branch and the branch in Coronel, so we went up to find the street that the Branch President told us was the line. We found it and knocked some of the doors that were up there. It was grand time. :)

The Family Casares is doing very well! Lily, Hugo's Girlfriend/Fiance, is getting baptized this week after they get married tomorrow! Yay! We went to visit them a couple of times during the week and found that they also have a new puppy. He is very cute. I love dogs. :) He sat on my lap and fell asleep while we were teaching a lesson to them. It was awesome.

That's the hook up for this week in Chile. There were a couple more small earthquakes, but I've yet to feel anything. Elder May just asked me the other day, "Dude, did you feel that?" and I was really confused. But we found out from members later that there were small tremors. I must be really dull-sensed. Oh well, that's how we roll.

Keep reading the Scriptures every day and we'll talk to you next week!

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...

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...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
