Hey Yall,

Well, this week has been a doozy. No, yet again we didn't feel the earthquake we had. It was a 7.0 up near Conce, but we didn't feel a thing again. It's kind of boring to tell the truth. Apparently people in Conce were panicking, though.

The Bishop is out of town, so we're having a hard time progressing in the work. We didn't get Rosa's Baptism announced, so we'll have to wait another week on that as well. But, we found a couple of people while knocking doors during the rain. I know the Lord was blessing us because we were working in spite of the weather, so we're going to work extra hard to use those blessings to our advantage. A couple of the people we found already have been lost to vacations and whatnot, but there are several more we are going to visit.

I'm learning lots here. during our personal study, I've been finding answers to questions we've had from investigators. There was one about UFOs that I didn't even search for because the investigator who asked about them probably doesn't really care a whole lot anyway. Actually, it only came up because here UFOs are called Omnis, like the Prophet. So she found the name of prophet and asked about them. But I also learned that there are two types of angels. You can read all about it in the Bible Dictionary. :)

I also discovered something about Elder Tanner. We watched the film "The John Tanner Story", and he is a descendant of John Tanner. To the Tanner family in our neighborhood: I found your relative! He is super capo, so we're really excited to have him in our house along with Elder Valdivia.

Apparently there was some confusion about transfers. I am still in the same area, same city, same ward. It's the Millahue Ward in the Temuco-Cautin Stake. It's in the city of Temuco. We're awesome like that. :)

Hopefully this finds you all well! The work progresses, no matter what comes in the form of opposition.

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 like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
