The Eclipse from Chile...

Psych, that’s the wrong Numba!!!! haha well we couldn’t even see the Eclipse here in Osorno because it is super cloudy and because we are so far south...:) haha but how are you this fine Monday afternoon??:) As for me holy cow this past week flew by. Today we went on a field trip to the beach. Even though it wasn’t the best weather, it was so fun to go and it was so beautiful. I’m gonna see if some of the photos can load so I can send them!:) Also thank you for the pics of Jaime, I love them! I found those little kids as well and we started teaching them when I got there!!:)

As for my sector here now in Osorno, Maria is doing better but on Saturday she went to the hospital again because she still wasn’t feeling good. They gave her some antibiotics and 7 days in bed.... so no baptism for her this week, but she is still so good spiritually! :) so that’s good. Also we haven’t been able to talk a lot with Brenda but she is still doing good and reading in the Book of Mormon!!:) Then Alfredo didn’t come to church this past week because he went to Santiago to get his girlfriend who was coming from Haiti!:) He said they are both gonna come to church this next week so we will see how that goes!:) And the lesson is good with Alex but we found out the missionaries have taught him before and he just likes to use us to speak English...:/ but we are gonna have a meeting with him this week to see if he really wants to continue learning. We will see!:)

We have lots of futures and people that can be investigators so we will see how that goes! Also the family Lorca came to church. They are a part member family and the dad was a menos activo but they are reactivating!!:) Also for your thought or question, (I asked him what is one of the things you have been most thankful for on your mission so far?) definitely well idk, I would say my comp and the Holy Ghost, because it is so important to learn how to live and work with another stranger and then expect to live and preach together. You have to be unified if you want to teach with the spirit and the spirit who brings the message that we teach to the hearts of the investigators. That is what I think!:)

Woah sounds like you had a sweet week. How was the eclipse, could you actually see it?:) Man that’s crazy you guys ran 6.4 miles! haha man it sounds like a crazy week and I loved all the fotos, thank you so much!!:) Also yeah the pictures you got the other day were from our momita starting Sept.! haha but yeah they are such a sick family, and her husband took us on our field trip today!:)

Wow I love that thought. It’s so cool. We honestly receive the most blessings when we serve and love without the expectation of a reward.:) I know that the Lord will bless you when the time is right. The Lord knows you and will give you the strength!!:)

Sorry my letter is kinda long today, but I love you so much and hope you have a great week. Love you to infinity and beyond!!:)

Love,
