The One with the Easter in Chile! 4/20

April 20th
Hello all my family and friends! I hope everyone had the best Easter and were able to really remember the Resurrection of the Savior Jesus Christ! Because he lives, we will all live forever! It was such a beautiful time here in Chile and the Spirit was so strong. We had an investigator come to church and it was one of the best Sacrament Meetings of my mission! The Spirit was so thick we could nearly see it! All the talks were inspired and were exactly what needed Luiz to hear! I was teary eyed the entire time and felt such comfort from my Savior and Heavenly Father! It was unforgettable! Luiz in fact felt the Spirit so strongly that he decided he wanted to keep hearing the lessons! He was an investigator but told us he didnt want anymore of our visits, but then he showed up to church on Sunday and now we are teaching him yet again! Blessings of this sacred and beautiful time of year!
Also, yesterday we had a mini miracle happen with us! We were walking to a members house to share a scripture with them and to see if they were okay! On our way there, I saw a woman outside her house and we said hello and she kindly said hello back, the Spirit spoke to me so loudly and strongly as if it was a man behind me and said "stop and talk to her, she needs you!", I stopped in my footsteps and it was as if I could not take one more step forward. I turned and began to talk to her! She talked to us for a little bit and we asked her if she has any beliefs in Christ and she simply responded "Yes, He is my best friend!" My heart exploded inside with love and joy. I have never heard someone say that to us who weren't members or other missionaries! My heart swelled with pure happiness. We ended up talking to here for a long time and invited her to church Sunday and she agreed to come! It was a blessing for sure. Also, this woman in the street we may never see again, but she was a blessing for me because she reminded me yet again how we should see our Savior Jesus Christ, as our best friend! What a beautiful angel this woman was for me! 
I hope we all can learn from her and see that Christ is our best friend! He knows us perfectly and is there for us no matter what, he listens perfectly, and he never lets us down! HE IS THE PERFECT BEST FRIEND!! 
I love you all so much and hope everyone is happy and smiling through the journey that is this life!

WORK HARD, PRAY HARDER!!

The One with Accepting God´s Will 10/18/17

OCTOBER 18, 2017 Hello family and friends! I hope all is well and that you all had a great week and that everyone is getting ready for Halloween! This week here in Chile was a little crazy but full of learning and growing opportunities. To start out  the week we got a call from our Bishop at 6 in the morning informing us of the saddest news. A recent convert in our ward that we have been teaching lost her husband this week from a brain aneurysm. It was a rapid and uncontrollable loss.  This family has had more trials that anyone I have ever met. They have a one year old baby who had a tumor on the back on her neck and head that was the same size as her head. Part of her brain was inside of this ball, so the surges were sooo hard to do! The first one was to just split her skull open to make room, then another operation to push her brain inside her head, then had another emergency one because the blood wasnt flowing right. THe baby had a 2% chance of living... and did! She still

The One with Being Bold! 11-8-17

NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Hello friends and family how are you all doing this week! I am doing great here in the mission Chile Santiago South This week was a week full of conferences. We had one as the South part of the mission and then we had a huge one as a whole mission and the West mission. It was crazy! While we were there I realized how tiny our mission is and how few of us there really are. The West mission has many many missionaries and we are just so few, but we are the best! The west mission were all serious and our mission was a fun and excited! We are like a big, happy family! We had a special visit from Elder Christensen and his wife from the 70. They gave some powerful and uplifting talks! Something that stood out to me was a quote by Elder Christensen that said BE BOLD! I love this so much! It is soooo important to be bold in all that we do as missionaries! It is vital to share the Gospel and our Testimonies with Boldness! But not just missionaries with nametags all members need

FEBRUARY 8, 2017 These are family home evenings with some of my favorite families in our ward and also with a new convert that we have! His name is Christian and he was baptized just a week before I came to the sector! He is a miracle and such a faithful member! He is one of the coolest people I have ever met! HELLO EVERYONE!!!  Okay so this week was a great one! Honestly never really had a bad one because I am just radiating with happiness! Buuuut this week was BAKAN! We did a lot of searching for people but also had some really powerful and uplifting moments with investigadores. We met on lady named Rosa and she was outside her house painting. I told Hermana Knechtel that we should go ask if she needed help. SHe told us no and turned her back to us as if she didn't want to talk. I thought... you are not getting away that easy... I walked around to where I could see her face and introduced myself. I am not sure what changed her mind but she opened right up and st
