<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I was surprised on Tuesday night to
receive a birthday celebration with decorations and a piñata from a group of
members and other missionaries in the Chapel. It was something I didn’t expect
at all and it really was awesome. Almost half of the relief society was there
and some of my great friends. We ended up having cake and I opened presents! The
decorations and planning was done by my two mamitas, Hermana Medina and Hermana
Fernandez, seeing almost all of my friends there almost made me cry I was so
happy! I hit open the piñata and then I had my first tortazo!! Everyone pretty
much filmed it and it was epic! The video is too big to send over email but I
got pictures! The tortazo is a tradition to get some of the cake on the
person´s face after they blow out the candles, well for my first one, it wasn’t
just a little bit on the chin, as you can see it was my entire face!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The following day, I woke up with a
cold. Not being able to talk, Hermana Castro went out with our friend Maureen
to get some citas while Hermana Fernandez took care of me and was my companion
for the day. She made me drink Tapsin which is this gross menthol drink and
afterwards I sat on the bed while she ironed the clothes and we talked a lot
about spiritual things and things I have learned on the mission and things she
has learned through her son on his mission. Afterwards she brought me a tray of
grilled cheese and hot chocolate and we watched Mormon messages and a LDS film
online. I must admit, that for my first sick day in the mission, which was also
my 9 month cumplemes, it was probably the best sick day I’ve ever had.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The following day we had our car
wash, Castro and I ended up being the sign people which meant we had to dance
and yell at the people to come to our capilla. We had a pretty good turn out
about 20 or 25 cars came and we got about 10 references. Not nearly as crazy or
productive as the first carwash but hey it was an activity. Good news, this
past Sunday Iquique had a stake conference and we had two investigators in
church, plus all of our converts were in church so I was very happy about that
:) Castro and I have been lucky to have found someone progressing, his name is
Cristian and he is the boyfriend of one of the members in our ward. He is very
receptive and reads two chapters from the Book of Mormon every day, which is
super amazing because not even members do that on an average basis. We are
planning on challenging him to baptism on our next cita on Tuesday. I’m sorry
if this email lacks more interesting details but I find myself responding to a
ton of mail I hope the pictures can make up for it! Thank you everyone for
writing me, your words uplift me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I was surprised on Tuesday night to
receive a birthday celebration with decorations and a piñata from a group of
members and other missionaries in the Chapel. It was something I didn’t expect
at all and it really was awesome. Almost half of the relief society was there
and some of my great friends. We ended up having cake and I opened presents! :)
The decorations and planning was done by my two mamitas, Hermana Medina and
Hermana Fernandez, seeing almost all of my friends there almost made me cry I
was so happy! I hit open the piñata and then I had my first tortazo!! Everyone
pretty much filmed it and it was epic! the video is too big to send over email but
I got pictures! The tortazo is tradition to get some of the cake on the
person´s face after they blow out the candles, well for my first one, it wasnt
just a little bit on the chin, it was my entire face!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The following day, I woke up with a
cold. Not being able to talk, Hermana Castro went out with our friend Maureen
to get some citas while Hermana Fernandez took care of me and was my companion
for the day. She made me drink Tapsin which is this gross menthol drink and
afterwards I sat on the bed while she ironed the clothes and we talked a lot
about spiritual things and things I have learned on the mission and things she
has learned through her son on his mission. Afterwards she brought me a tray of
grilled cheese and hot chocolate and we watched Mormon messages and a LDS film
online. I must admit, for my first sick day in the mission which was also in my
9 month cumplemes, was probably the best sick day I have ever had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The following day we had our car
wash, Castro and I ended up being the sign people which meant we had to
dance and yell at the people to come to our capilla. We had a pretty good turn
out about 20 or 25 cars came and we got about 10 references. Not nearly as
crazy or productive as the first carwash but hey it was an activity.The good
news is, this past Sunday Iquique had a stake conference and we had two
investigators in church, plus all of our converts were in church so I was very
happy about that :) Castro and I have been lucky to have found someone
progressing, his name is Cristian and he is the boyfriend of one of the members
in our ward. He is very receptive and read two chapters from the Book of Mormon
every day, which is super amazing because not even members do that on an
averagely basis. We are planning on challenging him to baptism at our next cita
on Tuesday. I’m sorry if this email lacks more interesting details like my
emails but this week I find myself responding to a ton of mail, so I hope the
pictures can make up for it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week was super busy! We planned four activities in 7
days and yeah you feel just a little stressed out...BUT it paid off, the car
wash idea worked brillantly! I was so afraid it wasn’t going to be that
successful since we didn’t really have that much time to advertise at all, aka
24 hours. But sure enough within ten minutes cars started rolling in. I had
organized three groups to switch every hour, with the group A in charge of
advertising with signs on the street, group B in charge of teaching and giving
tours to the people waiting for their car to be cleaned and Group C in charge
of, well… cleaning the cars. As the cars rapidly started coming, there only
ended up being 6 of us talking to people, giving pamphlets and tours and four
people with street signs and the rest of the 16 missionaries washing cars and
with one hose too. I ended up running up and down the capilla, delegating the
work, I loved it so much. We ended up getting pretty soaked too and the sharing
the gospel this way ended up being so useful, the people were a lot more
receptive this way into discussing and it was so easy to bring them inside the
church that a lot of their fear from the ¨unknown¨ vanished once they entered.
We ended up receiving 26 references in two and half hours!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our talent show is in the works, it looks like it’s going to
be great this Friday. Apparently a lot of other wards found out about it and
other missionaries wanted to know if they could go so they could bring their
investigators and I said sure! I think what helped is Elder Rodriguez asked
Castro and I to be a part of a Youth conference workshop on missionary
work with members. Well, we made a presentation on the thing we do the
best...ACTIVITIES! I felt pretty cool to be there with the other district
leaders and zone leaders; I really think I got myself a nice set up in Iquique.
Another reason I don’t want to leave is because I think Rodriguez isn’t so hard
on me and sometimes gives me a break or first dibs because he’s seen me go out
of my way to do a lot for the zone. In some cases it’s not what you know but
who you know. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Other than that, we’re planning and expecting two baptisms
this Saturday and so begins another very hectic week in the mission field. I
told Castro that I think I need to run hard tomorrow morning, even if I’m
tired...because I’m tired of feeling like a schlump, and yeah I think I just
made that up but I hope you get the picture.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This past week was probably the most
stressful week I have had in the mission yet! It also marked a very stressful
week for my fellow leaders in our zone as well, they mentioned it being the
most tiring 7 days they have ever had as well. It all started last Sunday when
Elder Rodriguez and Elder Hales planned a surprise zone meeting the last two
hours of the night to meet up in the stake center, it was a meeting to give us
animo and a push to give our all this week for the last week of the month and
to finish strong with our fechas that we had for the 27th. After each district
leader gave a little discurso, Rodriguez was the last one to speak to us and he
randomly called each one of us up to do a practice on the spot. He took off his
name tag and un-tucked his shirt and he called Hermana whipple, "Whipple,
come here, I’m your less active and you want me to go to church, bare your
testimony, go!" After ten seconds, he called Elder Christianson,
"Christianson, I’m your investigator and you want me to get baptized,
ready, go!" I whispered to Castro and said, "Man, I hate it when
Rodriguez does this..." As I started feeling nervous, I had the impression
that he was going to call on me. As fate would have it, he did. "Kennedy,
I’m your less active, I haven’t gone to church in years, go."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I stood up and I looked him in the
eyes and I immediately thought of Lorena, who is my real less active, who
finally came to church that day, even though she was late, she came and I
remember realizing just how hard it was for her to enter the capilla. Lorena
was trembling in Relief Society as I sat next to her...I just remember that and
Elder Sharp coming up to me and saying, "you did it Hermana Kennedy, you
reached one of your goals, you got her to go to church." So as I looked at
Rodriguez, I just told him as if I was talking to her, "Rodriguez, no se
que ellos le hicieron, no se y no puedo sentir su dolor en su corazon pero
estoy aqui para contarle que hay una persona que sabe y ha sentido todo, y el
haria todo por usted and ha hecho todo, el esta llamandole a la iglesia."
I struggled to get the message out because I could tell my lips were tightening
as tears ran down my face. As tears ran down Rodriguez´s face, he told me to
sit down. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Heavenly Father Recognizes Hard Work…Unexpected

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Friday finally came by this time I
had taken several Advil capsules due to running back and forth of errands
trying to put together a talent show. Rodriguez did me the favor of making a
sketch for us. He took the story of Ammon with king Lamoni but substituted
Lamoni for Pablo Escobar. The invitations said the show started at 7:30 so that
people could get there by 8pm but by the time it was 7 we hadn’t received the stage
lights and music system. Castro and I had to quickly clean the bathrooms and
chapel because they were so Cochino! Meanwhile, another pair of Elders were
waiting for us to pick up the balloon arch from our mamitas house and we still
hadn’t had time to start setting up the chairs. By 7:10 other missionaries
finally started coming and setting up everything, we were finally setup by 7:35,
all we needed to do was wait for people to get there, 8 o’clock rolled around
and only 5 people had come, that didn’t include the number of missionaries. 8:15
came and I started getting nervous, 8:30 and I started shaking. I sat down on
the pulpit pew and Rodriguez came up to me and told me not to worry that people
would start coming...meanwhile Hertler called me because I had invited him and his
companion to bring investigators, he called to tell me that they were going to
be late due to a baptismal interview their investigator was in. I told him not
to worry about it because there was hardly anyone here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Rodriguez gathered the rest of the
crew together and we prayed on our knees to ask for more people to come, as we
came out of the room, Hertler and Garrido came and they could tell I had a
worried look on my face, so they left to grab random people from the street to
bring them to the talent show. Finally by 9:10 there was a sufficient amount of
people to start the show. We only had 9 acts because each act was about ten to
fifteen minutes long, the show was long enough, when we Castro and I did our
act, we had some issues with the lights and sound but I started to cry with
tears of joy as the whole crowd laughed and whistled at our act, they
absolutely LOVED it! By the time we finished, the refreshments rolled out and I
looked behind me to see a full house of people in the chapel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">While we cleaned, I thanked everyone
for their help and Elder Sharp looked at me and said, "Kennedy, we just
witnessed a miracle." <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Saturday, Castro and I celebrated
with two baptisms, we surprised the Familia Galleguillos in Alto Hosipicio for
Miguel´s baptism. They were so happy and they asked us to share our testimonies
in the end. We took photos and talked, we planned to go back up there the
following pday. As we came back down, we got our investigator Freddy ready for
his baptism, We combined our final zone baptisms for that day in Lynch and it
was a very relieving evening :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Sunday came, we met up as a
zone for the last time to share our testimonies and take pictures, our zone
leaders took our title of liberty and ripped it up into 12 pieces so that we
could each have one. I said bye to my old zone but for the leaders, I told them
that I would be visiting them soon and I know that’s true because even though
we got moved to a different zone, I know we will visit. After that, Hertler
invited us to his farewell meeting in his chapel. He taught a lesson on things
that have helped him the most on his mission and things that he held super
special since he learned them from President Bruce. In the end we said bye and
exchanged regalos, he ended up giving me his favorite Charlie Brown tie and
signed the back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This morning, I had the pleasure of
talking to Hermana Cram on the phone as well, her flight back home leaves at 1
o’clock today, it was kinda nostalgic to talk to her and to realize our mission
is changing a lot with the missionaries I met when I got here that are dying.
Today Castro and I will be at the bus terminal saying good bye to some of our
friends and looking forward to our new zone this week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And so here we are again, going on
to another cambio and Hermana Castro and I, vamos a quedar juntas! Voy a
terminar su entrenamiento in Renacimiento...and we ended this great transfer with
three baptisms and the last one last night :) Elder Pitola se va a Arica and so
we are getting another District Leader who is going to be a gringo, Elder
Scottman who I actually met my first day in Chile because he worked in the the
office, and so we spent the past weekend celebrating with la Familia Memano who
is the house of our mamita and the elders to spend some last couple of moments
with Pitola. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hermana Castro and I sent a pouch
package for President Bruce and Hermana Bruce so they have something to read on
their long flight back to the states in ten days. I had some nice surprise
phone calls from some other sisters in the mission such as Hermana DeLerma,
Hermana Solaman, Hermana Carito and Hermana Fuentes who all wanted to talk
about where I was going or if I was staying. Most of the sisters I know, are in
Copiapo now, I feel like so many missionaries are either down there or in Arica;
it’s like a party house in those places! LOL <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Helping prepare Augusto for his
baptism was a little hectic but what are baptisms for right?! He is such a
great kid really and when he smiles he looks like Chris Brown! He has been
asking a lot of questions about how one becomes a missionary and just knowing
that he’s asking those questions already makes me choke up. Our recent convert
Antonio came to the baptism as well and was a witness. He blessed the sacrament
this past weekend after a week of receiving the priesthood...when we told him
on Friday that we had cambios coming up, he got so scared and doubtful when he
told us, "You´re not leaving yet?! “I just know you’re not, I’m not ready
for either of you to leave." Its moments like that, that make me realize
that we truly are their missionaries forever, they are moments and
relationships that have a special connection, they are bonds that weren’t made
through coincidence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">From this cambio, I just want to say
that I am so eternally grateful for what I have learned from my fellow
missionaries and converts and how I have grown in my teaching skills and
spiritual needs, I owe a lot for what I was given here and I am determined to
work even harder and be even better to see a change in me and to find more of
those who are truly waiting to receive this gospel. A gospel whose fundamental
truth is change, that it is real and men can change and receive a heart from
God but only through our Savior, Jesus Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I feel bummed that I didn't get more of an opportunity to get to know President Bruce but Hermana Bruce did tell me while hugging me goodbye, "I know that we will see each other again because you're friends with Kelly and so you just have another excuse to come to Orange County."<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
For P-day, our leaders thought it would be a good idea to hike up this hill called Cerro Dragon at five in the morning. HILL? are you kidding me!? Its more like a fechin mountain and its completely sand! So for an hour and a half hiking at a 75 degree angle was incredibly hard! We took a ton a pictures mainly because I think we all agreed that, that was the first and last time we were going to do that as a zone. The main idea was to sand board down which is basically like snow boarding but in sand, but the boards didn't work very well at all because they kept sinking too much and so we sort of just rolled/ran down the hill. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We look forward to meeting our new president and his wife. We know they'll do a tremendous job because the Lord only calls his best to take care of his missionaries.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The final
week before another cambio...geez time really does fly by and I sitting here
trying to recap what happened this past week! It definitely was a week a little
bit more bitter than sweet. Once we hit hump day, the work was pretty slow and
got worse until Friday. Friday night we met a man who was better than gold, he
was platinum. We were going down a road that we don’t usually go down to get to
a less active’s home and a man cleaning a car called out to us in English. I
ignored it at first because usually that happens a lot; men say the only English
phrases they know to try to flirt with us. Well this man kept talking and so I
stopped and turned around and figured that we might as well invite him to
church because we had no success the whole day. When we came up to him, the
first thing he said was I know about Moroni. My campanion and I were surprised,
as he continued to tell us that he had read the entire book of Mormon and while
clasping to his chest he said, "I love that book, it touched my
heart." Unbelievable! We continued to ask him questions one after another
in excited high pitched voices like little girls talking to Santa Claus. He
told us how no one had given him the book but that he had found it a year ago
in the street. He said that one night in particular, he was leaving work to go
home but felt impressed to go a different way home than how he usually goes
home. As he turned on a street, a car came down the hill with its lights on and
the car shined on the book. As he picked it up, he said he felt a profound
feeling in his chest. I wrote down all the information of this man, Refugio,
but unfortunately he didn’t have a phone number and so I told him about meeting
up in the capilla at four in the afternoon and we invited him to church so that
we can start teaching him ASAP. Excited, he accepted both offers, but as the
next day came he wasn’t there even though we had waited at the capilla for an
hour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Along with
our disappointment, our hearts dropped a little when we found out suddenly the
familia Galleagos were moving to Alto Hospicio which is a city behind Iquique
and up the mountain, its about a 40 minute commute. We helped them pack up as
much as we could, but in the end the two zone leaders from Alto Hospicio ended
up loaded the truck and making two runs to and from AH because we were loaded
with investigators to find to bring for a baptism and get to church with us the
following day. We were hit with another misfortunate event when Augusto wasn’t
at home, the next morning he was there as well but finally after church we
waited two hours outside of his house and sure enough he came home from the
beach. We walked with him to the church building and he asked us what we were
doing outside his pension. We told him we waited for two hours outside and he
smiled so wide he couldnt believe it...Pitola was right about him, he really
looks like Chris Brown when he smiles. We ended up teaching Augusto the law of
Chastity and reading from the Book of Mormon, both of which went really well.
We asked him about his baptism still for this Saturday and he told us he really
feels ready, Augusto has really surprised me considering he is 21 and a body
boarder, his views and opinions on life were already very aligned to several
laws of the church, he has shown me that there is hope amongst the youth in
this country who still uphold values and wisdom. We introduced him to the young
single adult group that meet up every Sunday night for family home evening, he
really enjoyed it and Castro and I felt relieved that we had actually secured
one of our precious investigators :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We were blessed to be a part of the baptism of Antonio Saucedo
this weekend, it was Hermana Castro´s first cumplemes on Saturday and even
though I was so busy and stressed out putting the baptism altogether, I didn’t
have time to make her anything but I ended up telling her that her gift from me
to her was a baptism for her first month :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Everything worked out well too thank goodness because we had
some difficulty printing out the programs about an hour before the baptism too!
I told Pitola to run the errand for me, since I had to stay to finish setting
up, I was trying to work on my pronunciation for my talk that I was giving at
Antonio´s baptism, when Pitola freaked out and told us that the water in the font
was way too hot. We told him that we filled it up that way because we didnt
want it to be cold by the time he got in, the water really wasn’t hot, it was
more like warm, but while it was filling up we had closed the doors and when we
opened it up to check up on it there was so much moisture in the air that it
did feel like a sauna. I told Hermana Castro that we literally are going to
baptize him by fire! We quickly ran the cold water for a couple of minutes and
the water felt better. After we gave our talks and headed for the font, we were
waiting in the sala to watch when Hermana Castro laughed and told me she
heard someone say, "I think the waters a little hot." But when the
doors opened Antonio was there with his collegue Hermano Marco about to be
baptized, it really was remarkable to see this man who I had only known for two
weeks and now he was making the real change that he had been working on for
years before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Antonio really was prepared for the gospel, sometimes I don’t
really think I did anything except give him an invitation to church. He had been
an example to me really, after he was confirmed on Sunday he went to priesthood
with the Elders and the President asked if there would be any volunteers to go
out on splits with the Missionaries this week and he quickly shot up his hand
and asked, "Can I go?" When I heard this I leaned over to Castro and
said, “That’s our convert.” ;) Really, he’s such a rad guy. I am just so happy
to believe that he will be one of those golden members as well, just after we
leave and years go by...that is what conversion should be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On this loving Pday, our zone celebrated by making a Columbian
breakfast and playing out on the beach because we completed our goal of baptizing
12 people this month of May, which is historic because Esther is new and so is
Elder Romero. My zone leader is telling us we have to keep this going for as
long as we can. It was pretty awesome to find that we were one of the top zones
in the mission for this week and month. Speaking of which, the past week,
Castro and I made it first in the top ten companionships but I do owe a lot of
that to the help of our zone that took a Monday night to help us find news and
help teach lessons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week looks a little crazy too because we are planning
two more baptisms for this Saturday, a man named Gustavo and his daughter Selma
will be getting baptized together. Gustavo has been investigating the church
for 32 years ever since he married his wife who is a member and then suddenly
he finally got his answer. While going over information for his program, we met
the daughter who ended up telling us yesterday that she too had received an
answer and would like to baptized with her dad. Shocked and amazed, Castro and
I got started taking down info, it does feel a little weird only because I feel
like their not my converts because I honestly only taught them a lesson during
the second hour of church, the principles of the gospel with my kid Fidel, but
for some reason after that the wife wanted us to continue teaching and
preparing her husband´s baptism. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

will have more next week too! Love you all, besitos! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

A very long time and no write, I know...but I find myself with more time to spare and definitely worth the minutes to write about my new sector Renacimiento, for me this sector is definitely means exactly that, Rebirth. I came into this sector, apprehensive, as I realized I would be opening again and ontop of that training. I met my "kid", Hermana Castro after a 24 hour travel/moving around craziness. After meeting up with her at the bus terminal, I was relieved to find out that she was white, well she has white skin but is from Honduras but she still speaks english so we are still good! I next found out that I would be sharing this sector with a companionship of Elders, Elder Pinto and Elder Contreras. Pinto is my district leader and a great one at that, he works very hard and delivers powerful lessons and challenges. He has taught me a ton, despite his Argentinian accent, we get a long with conversations in spanish and in english, he calls me a lady dude just like the other elders in my old district; apparently I am more of their amigo than their amiga, hahahaha.<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #222222;">Last week, Castro and I were looking through some old investigators from renacimiento´s folder. I came across a group of people that all lived in the same house, it was super close to our pension, so we went by, a man in his 30s answered the door. His name was Alex and at the moment he didnt have time to let us in, and so before leaving I invited him to church. Surprisingly, he said yes sure, baffled at that I didnt even have to convince him, I told him we would come around the next morning to walk with him to church. The next morning, even before getting to the door, he walks out in a suit! A suit! and then he asks if it would be okay, OKay?! I said, okay, you look awesome! The following week, we had our first lesson with the Elders, mainly because Pinto wanted us to challenge him to baptism, I told him are you serious? this is his first lesson with us, Pinto told me that I needed to trust him and that we were going to do it anyways. He cried telling us, that this timing of when we came into his life has been unbelievable. He remembered when the elderes came into his life 6 months ago but during this time, he wasnt ready for the change since he was living with someone. He told us about how he had moved on this his life and what tired of having someone else influence him over the things he really knew deep down to be true. He shared with us this dream he had, of men wearing white, that told he he was special...needless to say, Alex will be getting baptized</span> this Saturday. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">My first baptism, a long time waiting, but it has been worth it, because we found a man who truly is a pure gold investigator. I cant tell you how crazy yet spiritually challenging and growing this sector has made me so far. I have learned and felt so much from the missionaries and people I have been working with here so far and I am just so glad I have so much work on my hands because I can definitely tell I am growing so much and I love it, I dont want it to stop. I love you all and I do think about you guys, but I just want to let you know, that Im never homesick because I feel like this is how I have always been, but at the same time its a newly discovered me.</span><br />

In fact, everyone in our district is staying the same except for Elder Marroquin, so looks like there will still be six missionaries in the Angamos ward! Classes start down here in a week so more work is being done and progressing as people are returning from their vacations. Also, President Bruce started a March Madness bracket for us missionaries, each companionship is placed randomly against another and in each week who ever has the most points moves up the bracket...pretty self explanatory. The points follow as this the same for each week striving to be in the what our mission calls the Celestial 7, they are the key indicators at the end of each week, Dad Im sure you remember what these are...anyway, they are Investigators in sacrament meeting equals 30 points, baptisms and confirmation equals 40 points, new investigators equal 10 points, Lessons in general equals 2 points for each one, lesson to a less active or recent convert equals 6 points and a lesson with a member equals 2 points, the other key indicator is contacts but for the bracket we arent using that one. So I am very excited and apparently winning companionship gets to watch the real final NCAA championship game! </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">President has some pretty brillant ideas...as far a our companionship work goes, we have killed a lot of our investigators, I hope you will realize this is a term that we use a lot in the mish, we dropped them mostly for not keeping commitments or never be able to get a hold of them after one lesson and so we are always on the search for news! But we did have two investigators in church yesterday so that is good and unfortunately one of my favorite investigators didnt make it to church but we are planning on making our way to her house very soon this week. Her name is Fernanda and she just turned 14, she loves learning about the gospel and has a lot of questions, her face lights up everytime we can answer her questions too. Shes just really spirit hungry which is what I like to call it, the only problem is she lives on the very outskirts of Antofa, Cramberry aka Hermana Cram and I always have to take a micro out there and its about a 20 min drive and so usually investigators who live that far out there are the hardest to get to church because the capilla or chapel is in the completely opposite direction. </span></span></div>

So we shall see how it goes...the other good news is because of the influx of newbies coming new, President has opened several new sectors for Hermanas, even in cities where there hasnt been Hermanas before, one of them is Calama which is exciting because I call that plave the Promised Land, because everytime numbers come in, that zone is always ontop. Until then, I will be finishing my training in Antofa and beating Chañaral A at March Madness :) </span></span></div>

Families and Friends...</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It has been a long time coming but I am finally in Chile and I am proud to tell you that I have been assigned to OPEN yes I said open a brand new sector in the city Antofagasta which is called Angamos, I will be serving with Hermana Cram who is from Utah and has been serving for nearly a year now. She is a great trainer so far and has a very loud laugh, teaching with her is so smooth and easy, we really know how to switch off teaching . Of course the first day was overwhelming but things like this, like well moving to a new country always is but by honestly I havent freaked out yet so I suppose I will be anticipated that and let you know when it happens ;) So since Wednesday starting with nothing we tracted and tracted...and yes we walked a lot....my feet sweel throughout the day because we walk so much but honestly it doesnt really hurt. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So I must tell you about Antofa, it is well ugly to be perfectly honest. Mainly because there are a lot of rolling brown hills just filled with dirt and sand. But I spend so much time in the city that the outside scenary doesnt even matter. The city looks like your typical latin american neighborhood, with so many bright colors, loud music, fast bus and cars, so many smells coming out of tiny tiendas and little venders selling anything and everything you can think of. It is definitely a beach city though no doubt, which I can easily relate to. Hermana Cram and I are the only sisters in our district, the rest are Elders, Elder Congleton is our District Leader, he is a recent convert and from Laguna beach, he is a great leader, he is always giving us so many references and referrals which truly shows that its not about which missionary can baptize the most, but rather how we can work together more efficiency for God´s children. His companion is Elder Silvester, who was with me in the newb group and my flight companion, Elder Marroquin is from Guatemala, oh and by the way our entire zone and mission is about 60 percent latin...he is companions with Elder Sepe who is from Idaho I believe he is a newb as well. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So let me begin with telling you that on Thursday we found these Colombianos there names are Michael, Luis Miguel and Daniela, apparently Michael had been taught before. They are cousins and we have taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ and they came to church with us this sunday and stayed for the whole 3 hours! They are awesome really, I can connect with Michael the most even through my broken spanish mainly because while we were on a bus ride oh speaking of which, there is no such thing as speed limits here, the buses or micros are crazy...Michael and I figured out that we like the same kind of music and tv shows, he really tries to speak slow for me and I help him out with some English because he really wants to learn it. Most of the time when we tract we contact people who 70 percent of the time have either shared with the missionaries before or have a friend of relative in the church, the people here are kind of funny though and apparently harder to gain interested at least that is what Hermana Cram told me, but I wouldnt know the difference. When you approach them, they are a little weirded out for about a min and then once they realize you are from the US they engage in conversation and I also get brownie points when I tell them I am from California, they all say, "ohhh que linda, que bacan!" Then you come to find out that it is hard to shut them up! hahahaha...Chileno Spanish is well difficult to understand mainly because they do speak so fast and they do cut off a lot. I am not impressed neither am I wooed when they speak HAHAHA. But I try to manage the best I can, some people are harder than others for example men are harder for me to understand and old women. But I just try to say a couple things in every lessons...Hermana Cram has been so excited because she said most trainees dont say anything for a couple of weeks but I try my best to help her out. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The other day we fasted for our investigators Michael, Miguel and Daniela to come to church and to progress but then on sunday after church we look up an investigator from last years records whose name is Manuel, I can tell you know now that I love Manny and I believe that sometimes when you think you are fasting for something it can prepare you to receive something else and I believe that is what happened with Manuel. First of all he immediately let us into his house by unlocking the gate...oh little tangent, so here in Chile, everyone has a gate around their house and usually there´s a doorbell and speaker but if there isnt then you have to stand outside and yell, Hallo! Usually they either come to the gate to see who is it or they talk to you from their door. So with Manuel´s house we pushed the buzzer and we said, "hola, estamos buscando para Manuel porque somos misioneras de la iglesia de jesucristo del los saintos de los ultimos dias." And then we heard the buzzer unlock he comes out to greet us, brings us inside and we just start talking, we shared the first lesson, the restoration. He said that he had received a message from the missionaries before the gospel of Jesus Christ but hadnt gone to church because he says that he is lazy, but when we asked him to read a passage he needed glasses and I will tell you right now that this man is either not lazy or changed because he spent like 15 minutes searching for his glasses, going outside and inside of the house because he so desparately wanted to read this scripture...once he found them I was impressed to talk about Joseph Smith and recite the first vision along with my testimony about this man called of God, the spirit touched heart and testimonies were strengthened, in what I managed to say in Spanish, I know I dont much in Spanish but I know that this Gospel is true, that is why I am here. We gave him the baptismal challenge and he said that he knows that he does want to get baptize one day and that he will when he gains the strength to go against his family´s wishes because they are catholic and dont want anything to do with the church. I know he will get baptized, his heart is sincere but real intent can get in the way...I hope and pray that he will have the faith to accept the answer he will receive from God. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I have so much more to tell you about Chile but I am pressed for time, we only get an hour to type and I still have to email President but I will fill in the blanks next week and hopefully I can send some photos already but I forgot my cord so that will probably be next week too, I love you guys so much and I just want you to know that things are going great, they really are, there are but moments when I feel lull but they really do pass and I move on, I hope to hear from you soon because that just adds to my day :) </span><br />

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Our new January missionary group arrived today from the United States! They were tired and hungry but after we fed them and they perked right up. We are so excited to have them here with us and serving in this wonderful land of Chile. Your son, or daughter, will be writing to you tomorrow once they are up and running. We have asked their trainers to take them to a Cyber shop so that they can write to you and let you know of their new assignments. Unfortunately, several of them are traveling overnight (right now) to their new area which for most is a 7 to 12 hour bus ride…….. A lucky few were assigned to serve here in Antofagasta so they will not have to endure the lengthy bus ride. Here is a summary of the assignments made today for your missionary:</span></div>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Mi Familia y Mis Amigos!</div>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Another year marks yet another accumilation of time and we press forward into 2013. This new year also marks another disposition for change, growth and the classic new year's resolutions and although my first hours of the new year were spent in a fetal position fighting off a violent flu virus; I had a lot of time to meditate about this while in quarantine. </div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I think as humans we are so hilarious sometimes to say the least...we like to exaggerate how long the 365 days can take but at the same time it happens fast enougth that we can nearly remember exactly what we were doing this time last year. The truth about it is another year passes and another one comes, adding yet another notch onto what I'd like to call our "life belt," please bear with me and the corniness...Imagine that attached to each person is this life belt and each one has these loopholes meant for holding personal tools. Throughout the year we have attained certain tools that go in these loopholes on our belt, ones that we can choose to use whenever we want. Some of these tools can be used to help fix other people's tools so that both can use theirs to help construct what I'd also like to call the "Kingdom of Heaven." (I know how original)</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Some of us obtain tools disfigured, broken or we let them get rusty, all of which are not very useful-so what is a tool without a purpose? What is a person without tools to create?! We are always creating something that is the beautiful thing that God gave us, the ability to make, shape and form! Whether its from a peanut butter sandwhich to a canvas painting to creating human life; He blessed us and intended for us to create that we may act and not be acted upon. I know that the greatest blessing he has given us is the ability to create a new us everyday, month and every year. He has all given us a tool that we can access so that we may be able to start that change. A tool that never wares, nor breaks nor rusts but if we dont use it often we can forget how to use it or wait too long to think that we dont need to use it. This tool I'd like to call the "fix-all" tool or better known as the Atonement.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
While here at the MTC, I have realizd some of the tools that I already posses on my belt and definitely some that I need or that need fixing. But most importantly I am learning how to use the Atonement and how to access the several utilities of which it posses in order to make new tools that I need or to mend the ones that are broken. Though this process as most of us know takes a life long effort, I have felt the strength and confidence from my Heavenly Father that I am ready for the field, this has probably taken longer for me to say this than I would have liked but I have just given so much time to thinking about what it is that I can actually do to make a difference to my brothers and sisters out there. It's like you go on a mission knowing what you are getting yourself into but at the same time you dont know...because each person is different and we touch or interact wih so many different people on a daily basis, I just cant imagine the extent of that over a year!</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But there are some questions that have stood out to me during my stay here at the Training Center and I hope that they continue to stay in the back of my mind and if not the fore front of my mind throughout the mission. The first one is for some of us who already look down and see the long chain of notches each holding plentiful amounts of experiences, thoughts and expressions of a year's time; for us the question is, "You have come so far, how? Why?" The second one might actually help answer the first, it states, "Who do you stand for? Why?" I hope in some way or another we can all answer these questions for ourselves and live true to it because I fear that as I see notches added to my belt and others as I look around, the more I have seen us constantly exchaning and interchaning tool for others whose shaped dont fit nor fix. What do we change for? Do we change just for the sake of chaning? Among a very fast paced world that is always changing and indeed trying to improve technology for mankind-I often wonder that when we choose to change it is because we seek improvement as well?</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I know that some maybe most are just following suit to the place we inhabit, letting our enviroment dictate how or how often we should change. Perhaps it is of our best interest that we take the time to look down at that perfect, beautiful and indestructable tool we have...becaus before you know it or try to exaggerate it, another year will come and another notch will collect on our string of life. Though I will be thousands of miles away from all of you in a very short amount of time (namely 3 days), I can promise you that I will be comtemplating and striving to change by trying to fix my broken tools and trying to use my own more frequently and I say this in hopes that I will be doing this with all of you too. To those who believe in the unbelief, that think that this year has nothing to offer much like a disappointing last year, I promise you that this is not true. If all your hope is gone or small even starting off in this early beginning, I hope that these words or some sort of inspiration can lift you up enough to keep moving and keeping doing all that you can to build, to create, to fix, to change. </div>
