tuesday: we did a bit of studies, then we had to go to angol, to see the broadcast of the new prophet,, Russell m nelson.. which is realy cool, i never saw him as prophet before, but whenm i saw him there on the screen, i realized, hes gonna be a great prophet, i dont know why, but i totally saw him as a prohpet now!!!
Wednesday: we had our multi zone conference which was cool... it was in los angeles, in the church i was in in las americas.. so that was cool being able to go there again...
Thursday: we studied, then lunch, as always, we went and found some more less active members, then went to visit doris, who we put a baptismal date with.. and she told us she doesnt want us to come over anymore, were thinking someone told her something bad about us.. but what can we do.. we invited her to keep reading and praying if she wants to know..
Friday: we had lunch in the campo... we got there real fast, we headed home, taught a lasy, who didnt understand anything, so we just left.. then we found some more less actives, and theyre awesome!! then we went and visited an old investigator, named katherine, and shes cool, shes catholic, but never oes, she asked us to bless her house cause theyve felt bad things there.. so we went and did it.. it was cool...
Saturday: we went on a trip with our branch, our misison president gave us permission if we had an investigator, so we invited jacmy, the hatian.. and boy, we had an adventure.. we got lost in the woods for like an hour trying to get there.. ad we got scraped a lot from the thorns that were there.. then we finally arrived, which was a relief.. then that afternoon we also played sports with the members and jacmy, which was awesome, jacmy id really liking the church..
Sunday: it was a good day, we went to church, jacmy didnt go, but after church we talked to him, and told us he didnt want to get baptized this weekend... which we werent donme teaching him which was good, we still have a lot to teach him.. he said he didnt want to cause he wants to get married with his wie first, so he wont sin, his wife will come in february, so hopefully he will get baptized here soon...

pics from our branch activity...and hey heres a video of a fat dog that always welcomes us home!!
Los Milagros en Los Sauces Hey everyone!!! this week has been awesome, i have a voice message for you all, but i cant seem to get it connected.. so il try to figure it out... i hope it works, its like 16 or 18 minutes...
OKay, now here im feeling summer, these last few days have been hot here!! and air conditioning does not exist here, so its sweating all day long, every day.. so thats pretty fun, always walking around sweaty.. haha...
Well today i havent done a voice message either, so next week ill have to do it..
But heres my week:
wednesday:we were doing our studies in the morning when our district leader called us informing us that the prophet had passed away.. so that was kind of sad to hear, but we all know hes in a better place now.. in the afternoon we had an appointment with the hatian we found his name is jacmy. im not really sure how its pronounced.. but we taight him abd he seems really excited to be baptized..
Thursday: we were able to do weekly planning that morning.. then lunch, we made our own lunch again, then we went to study a bit more and get ready for our day, we went to the library to use the ocmputers so we could get some stuff to teach.. for example some videos in french to show the jacmy..
Friday: we started with studies.. and this week i had som e good studies, im reading in the book oif alma, about alma and amulek, and the sons of mosiah.. and thats also a great story, i have learned a lot from them, especially being a misisonary now they must have been really good back in the day!! haha for lunch we went to the campo again, and had lunch we had another few lessons but they ended up falling, and an hermana had called us to help her with her firewood, so we had tpo move it all into hr backyar, and by the end my back was sooo sore, but we slept real good that night!!!
Saturday: it was also a pretty good day, we contacted a biut, had a lesson with jacmy, then we played soccer with a few less active members and jacmy also played, he seems like he loved it!!haha hes so funny!! then there were these 3 young girls that showe up to play basketball, we invited them to come play volleyball with us next week as a ward activity that were gona do, they said theyll come, so we hope they will!!!
Sunday: we had church, i had to lead the music again, which is one of the things i hate most!!! its not too bad leadin, but when you dont have a pianist, i have to give a solo for the first few notes singing, and i dont sing very, its pretty embarrassing... but jacmy culdnt come to church cause his boss took advantage of him and broght him to work, he was really sad.. but e had someone else, named baby.. hes from jamaica.. we speaks 7 languages, hes actually a recent convert of my trainer.. which is really cool!!! i tried to speak to him in english, but its really hard to understand jamaican english!!! we then broght the sacrament to a few more members.
today: this morning we had a zone activity.. and for lunch they made us some milanesa from argentina, it was pretty good...
But thats all my week this week! it ws good, hope you all had a good one!!
Have a Good Week!

we saw a few miracles, and it was lots of fun!! and not to mention we are in 2018 now!! crazy how fast it went!! and i completed my full year on the mission..
sorry.. i couldnt send a voice message, something happened to my sd card, it just stopped being read, it recognizes theres something there, but cant be read.. so thats a bit lame.. il see what i can do.
Well heres my week:
tuesday: okay so we had something called "return and report" a training for trainers and trainees. so we had to go to the office in concepción. and there was an accident so it took us 5 hours to get there!!! it took forever!!
Wednesday: we had return and report, which was good, i got some help from that.. then we went back to travel again, not much happened.
Thursday: we had district meeting, we visited a less active hermana, and we set some goals with her to be able to come back to church, and start reading the bom again!!
Friday:we had lunch in the campo again, so we had to walk forever again, luckily we were able to hitch hike part of the way!! haha in the afternoon we taught our investiagtor veronica, and my companion challeneged her to be baptized, and she said yes!!! so that was awesome!!!
Saturday:we had weekly planning in the morning, we had to make our own lunch, in the afternoon we had a lesson with a kid named julio, we found him cause he was playing soccer at the church, so we contacted him and he said we could go over.. anyways, we were talking with him and taught hime the restoration, and we challenged him to be baptized aswell, and once again he said yes!!! it was also awesome!! but wi didnt put a date, but today(tuesday) we put a date with him for the 3rd of february!! so well be praying a lot for julio!!
Sunday: okay some background info, ever since i got here i have been looking for hatians to teah, cause theyre so receptive, the other day we saw our first one, buit we couldnt contact him.. but on sunday, we got to church and there wa a hatian there talking with an hermano, it was awesome!! he said he wants to come to church every week!! he was awesome!!also at church, president may(mission pres) came and surprised us!! so we took some pics, in all we had 16 people at church, with a few visits... then that night was new years, we went to angol, cause there werent any members here, so we had new years dinner, then watched the fireworks at 12.. its a weird tradition here to hug everyone, we had to go out the the front yard to see the fireworks, and al the neighbors started hugging us.. and they were all kinda drunk.. so that was awesome!! hahaha
Well thats basically my week!! hope you all have a great year!!!
Have a Good Week!
