Hey Yall!
This week has been a doozy. We´ve had some success, but transfers are happening today and tomorrow. Elder Kamalu left to go be a zone leader in the south and one of the others in our ward did the same, so I´m companion to Elder Gomez for yesterday and today until Elders Garcia and Baltran arrive from where ever they are. Garcia is going to be my companion in Millahue, so we´ve got to get going on our work. The week has just been hectic with baptisms from the other elders in our ward and calls to get baptismal interviews done. Not only that, one of investigators is back and we just found out he´s moving this week. Fome (sorry, a word we use here). Also, the saddest news we received this week is that Pamela´s dad died. she got a call during church yesterday and then left early. We don't know when she´s coming back.

In our days together, Elder Gomez and I have been having little troubles here and there while shopping and whatnot because he only has one cambio more than I do (six weeks more in the mission). Don´t worry, we haven´t been ripped off or anything, we just haven´t been able to do some of the things we wanted.

The best news of the week is that Marcelo and Cecilia have been progressing! I think we´re going to invite them to be baptized this week. We should have 3 baptisms this cambio. I´m pretty sure. So, Elder Kamalu is gone and I´m going to have a completely new set of things here in Temuco. We´re working with a member who just got off his mission in Argentina. His name is Angelo.

We´re working hard and we had a really funny experience yesterday. While Elder Gomez and I were knocking doors, we knocked the door of an older fellow whose first words were, ´´I don't like you guys´´ We then talked to him and discovered that he just doesn´t know much about the church. Too bad he doesn´t want to know more. He´s convinced that someone in the USA is trying to use the church to take over the world. Yeah, I´m pretty sure we´re going to take over the world with the Gospel. I mean, that´s kind of our job. Talk to you all later!

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...

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...
