Baptism & Fence Painting


This week was another week of miracles. God is blessing us so very much. Three men were baptized yesterday and it wa a powerful baptism. 
A lot of people came to the baptism. The branch is great, they really support us. 
Saturday night, we stayed up a little later and we made a cake thing and some no bake cookies sort of things. It all turned out well. 

I love my companion. We are very similar in a lot of ways. We always say that the President put two crazies together. Because we are not normal, we do the craziest things, but hey it all works out for us.  We strive to be the best instruments we can possibly be for God. I would love to stay together with her for my last change. But we will just have to see. I want to make sure that these people are well taken care of before I leave Ovalle. 

I love you all so so so much!! Keep moving forward. We can do hard things!!

Mothers Day Phone Call


It was so incredible to talk to you all yesterday!! It is just nice to know that you all live and are doing great!!! I was thrilled to be able to see Edward, because its been a long time. And I was glad Lyndon, Christine and their adorable children were all there. And of course Sam and to finally meet Erin!!! yay!

This week went well. We were tired from our trip to Viña but the leadership meetings are so worth it. I love President Kahnlein. I gave my testimony, because I am approaching the downward slope of ending my mission. 

The mission is so incredible! We set up movie night with our investigaters and we popped popcorn. The only thing we have to worry about is people's salvation. (which is kind of a big deal!) ha. But God is the boss, and we can't fail if we put our shoulder to the wheel and keep working hard. Life is full of problems, but with God we can keep moving forward and have success. We can truly be happy all of the time.

I am sprinting until the end. Just like soccer, you gotta leave it all on the field. I want to be exhuasted when I am on the plane on the way back home.
