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...

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...
