Woo Hoo

Well this was definitely 7 days.
So this week was just so chalk full of fun and interesting stuff so I’m just not gunna mention any of it.
Just kidding nothing outside of the normal preaching the gospel and trying to not be discouraged in my quest to become more like Christ. Its quite difficult. But here goes nothing right!
So this week couple fun stuff we walked out into the middle of nowhere. Well we kind of live in the middle of nowhere but we went even deeper. We always see lots of little houses and stuff on the way to temuco and stuff so we decided that hey why not go over there and knock those houses. So we did. Walked for like an hour and half only but knocked some of the country houses. But don’t get to excited the people in the country don’t want anything to do with us either. But we are indeed trying. We did have this one guy come up to us and invite us to go to his house like 5 kms outside of cunco and we could do like
a reunion and stuff. So hopefully this week that is coming we can go out and meet with him and his neighbors. I really want to do like the old style get up and present our message to a large group of people
like you see in the old videos of missionary work. That would be super dope kind of excited to try it. Hoping it works out. Then we also got to go see this hermana that just left the hospital last week and it was the first time we got to see her in a while. She is recovering super fast though and is already walking around. So
thats super cool very impressed. She actually made the long trip to the church as well and shared her testimony about how merciful the lord has been with her though. It was super powerful. Then our mamita
shared how she feels horrible cause she has like a bad cold and almost stayed in bed this morning. But the Hermana Vilches is like the coolest lady here. She is super strong in the faith. And her son Mauri just sent his mission papers in. So hopefully he will be getting his
call here in about a month. He is our ward mission leader actually. Super dope guy and really wants to go to the states. He is super cool. Our attendance in church was the lowest it has been with a whopping 15
people this week. CUNCO!! But so testimony meeting was short because well 15 people cant take a ton of time. And not everyone shared. But of course the white people did. Also had a less active member show up
so that was super cool. So this month has been super eye opening for me. Basically in our branch we have seen, 1 major cancer operation, 2 deaths in families, 1
old aunt almost die then get better, 1 family of investigators separate and she took the kids, and the normal problems of the mission. So I have been stressed to the max lately and had a very direct and honest prayer this week about how i needed more help from the Lord. I had been feeling like i was just trying to do it by myself. Then i prayed and after i didn’t feel anything. All i wanted was to feel a little bit of peace, little bit of comfort. But i got nothing. So i wiped my tears out of my eyes and went to bed thinking
well tomorrow. That night i had a dream. Nothing amazing but for me it was big because i usually never dream. Like i cant remember the last time i had ever dreamed. But that night i had one. Just my comp and i
walking down the street talking about weird stuff when we turned into the seminary building back home. Walked in like it was normal and i just said hi to a couple of people i remember from back home. Then we went into sister Payne´s classroom and were just there for a minute. I woke up and it was morning. I realized that was my answer. Nothing big nothing overly dramatic just going back to a place that back in high school was such a place of comfort and peace when i needed it back when everything was just hectic. I just wanted to share that with y'all to let you know 2 things. 1 the lord answers prayers in any way possible but it probably wont be the answer you are looking for but it will come. and the 2nd is i just testify of seminary and church buildings. I miss seminary for the peace it brought to me. Always went to the seminary building for lunch and it was kind of a part of my day to be there. I love the gospel and everything about it. This is the only true church on the face of this earth that can do all this.
So answers,
Yes i checked back on my bag but they didn’t have anything. Gunna check once more tuesday. I don’t know if y’all want me to buy a camera or anything or just have yall send me one. I don’t know the price down here I will check. I would appreciate another scarf, they are super warm. Also I know this is weird but maybe if yall find another camel? I actually use it a lot to teach so it was very nice. Or if not a camel some other stuffed animal of approximately that size.  No my photos were not in it. I have this card still, didn’t lose my home credit card, and I already got new scriptures.
Thanks for being patient with me.
I love yall have a great week!
