Hey Hey Hey,Well just to start I am not trunky!!!!!!! But well I wish I was flying into San Jose and not San Francisco I haven’t been home for 2 yrs so a couple hrs more won’t make a difference right? I won’t get my plans for two months and there is a reason why haha. Well enough talk about that. The first week of cambios is gone and well here we are again writing! I don’t have much to say but I will try to find cool things to tell.
Martes, Hermano Alarcon was generous and he took us to Concepción in the morning to the terminal to save us travel time and $ on bus. I had to wait till 12:30 for Elder Haws to get there and Elder Call went to Molina. I got to see a bunch of my buddies and it was good to catch up with them and chat a bit. Got to see Elder Stephenson and it was good to hear about my converts in Chillan and about the ward too. @ 2:00 got back to Tomé and got settled in and went to eat lunch and buy food for the week and then off to work as usual. The hills are killing my com
panion but they still kill me too. haha.Miércoles, in the morning we had district mtg and it went good the usual no más, a lot of contacts as we need top find people to teach because we have nobody and Byron is getting baptized.......oh well así es la vida! Domingo made us pizza for lunch!!!!
Jueves, in the morning I christened my comp and we hiked up El Santo by foot and it was fun he struggled a bit it reminded me of my first time....haha but we took it slow, did some contacts a usual and in the afternoon after 2 hrs of knocking doors got into a house an the lady was named Paola. She is nice and was interested I have hope she will progress. We taught B
yron and got him ready for his baptismal interview and he is good to go!Viernes, planning in the morning and then had a great lunch...BONELESS chicken breast and longaniza de Chillán so good I loved it, fam Alarcon always has good lunches. We did a mini cambio with the Tome Elders and did a baptismal interview for Patricia, and it was a good spiritual experience, I loved it. She passed and is ready to get baptized!!!!!! We got to work with Elder Brown and he is full of energy haha good elder. We have fun in the house 4 Americans haha!
Sábado, Byron had his interview and he passed and Hermano Alarcon will baptize him!!!!!!!!whoooooo I was so jazzed so got all the ropa lista and it was all ready for Sunday. Saturday was yet a day of finding and finally got into a house at about 9pm and the lady was receptive but she would pry about what we taught because said she was scared. I knew she knew the message was true because I have gotten that answer before and her body language told me too. People just wont give up tradition for God........i don’t get it but hopefully when we pass by this week she will ha
ve a change of heart.Domingo, Byron got baptized and it was so good to be able to see it and be a part of it, now he needs an interview with the Bishop to get priesthood and I will have to make sure it happens because this cannot be put off like other things. I will be a rock in his shoe we need active young men.
I hope to have a great week. We have to go to a mini conference tomorrow in Concepcion and then will work hard all week to find some people. I sure do love the mission and it goes by too fast. I know God lives and loves us. He sent His son JesuCristo to die for us and through Him we can have eternal life, the Book of Mormon is true and was translated by a Profeta de dios, I know today Thomas S Monson is the Profeta and the apostles are witnesses of JesuCristo. HE lives and loves each and every one of us. I love the gospel and love to share it.
Have a great week and cannot wait to here from you all next week love you so much, take care and sigan adelante!!!!!!!!!!
Love Eric
Thanks for the package mom and the flag it is perfect haha
PS :Well hello there again all this is a lil bit of last week news and cambios news too from last week when the computer wasnt working haha
It seems Tome that yet another week has flown by and that I am here again tell you all of the so many exciting things that are going on here. Well to start off Cambios are today and the big news is that Elder Bordolli goes home to Argentina, Elder Call is going up north to Molina, and Elder Demann stays and his comp will be Elder Brown and my new Comp is Elder Haws, of Arizona, who is coming from Parral. So tomorrow bright and early we will be in Concepción to wait in the terminal. Got up early to take Elder Bordolli to the office in Concepcion and took us 45 min to get a bus to take us because we had bags to load. I tell you riding Chilean buses is a fun ride haha but asi es la vida.
Well the conference was awsome as usual and sure helped me see in what I need to improve....lots of things but I know the Lord will help me BE what He wants me to BE. I sure loved the priesthood session and learning about the duties and responsibilidades of the priesthood. I have a lot to learn but I am determined to do it. I am so grateful that I had such great examples of priesthood in my life to instruct and to guide me in assignments. I know I can do better. It was a great conference and I enjoyed it
