Baptism this Sunday!

Hey! So this week was awesome. Denny had his baptismal interview today

and he is stoked for his baptism, president rappleye will be coming

this weekend for a district conference so we had to change the baptism

for sunday instead of saturday and he will get confirmed next week. He

asked if I could be the one to baptize him so that will be a very

sweet spiritual experience. It was so cool to see how excited he is to

start this new life.

As well we have been finding and teaching some awesome people. We are

taking the counsel from ballard and carrying our preach my gospels

during the day. We have been sharing our thoughts with the members and

applying the things we learn with them, we went to a family and read

the quote of gordon b hinckley reading a letter from a recent convert

that didnt get welcomed good, then we got them excited about a tour

they were going to help us with in the church, They all gave their

ideas and applied what we read in preach my gospel, that night they

all came and became the tour guides for an investigator we have that

is 23 years old. The investigator loved the tour and the family with

their kids in all beamed with a spirit of mission work.

As well we had a intercambio with the elders in aysen I stayed in our

sector. I was stoked for that day but unfortunately ALL our

appointments fell and it poured rain, but we still tried to make

something of the day and at the end didnt end to bad, to raise our

spirits we ate a box of trix, ha one of the only gringo brands of

cereal here.

Im starting to talk with a little bit of an accent from

cordoba,argentina, they alongate there words sometimes saying

cordooobes or delgaaado not sure how to explain it but its kinda

funny, im sure when I come home all the hispanics will be confused

where I come from, (gringo chileno argentino honduraño guatamalteco

etc)

Tonight we were thinking about talking with the lider misional of the

district to consider him capicatating the mission leaders to help them

magnify their calling, We are having cordination meeting and we feel

our meetings arent efficient they are becoming more story circles of

our investigators, I think a meeting with them and the lider misional

of the district can make a good impact to help them know how to

magnify their calling. We have been having great progress with El

Rescate and we we really want to assure that the leaders as well are

ready to do their part,

Im so greatful for the love the savior has for us. This easter was

awesome, they dont do much eggs or bunnys here, but for sunday we had

lunch with the president of the branch, the wife gave us a alfajor

with a design on top of a bunny I thought that was cool. The culture

here for easter is very catholic, they celebrate the holy week, and

dont eat meat during this week, ha but there wasnt much who abided by

it. each day has a special thing the catholic church does. We watched

a video in church called gracias a el (thanks to him) it was pretty

sweet its on mormon.org. gave me goosebumps haha. super excited for

this weekend (interviews, district conference and the baptism)

Thanks for all your love and support, I can truly tell you all that I

know that my savior lives and loves me, and that as we live the gospel

its possible.

In one of our lessons we read the chapter 27 of 3 nefi, she didnt

understand it very well but I gave the example of a house to explain

the gospel of christ to explain baptism. Being imperfect people we all

sin, so you can say we are like a house that needs to be clean, the

gospel is the teachings and tools to clean it. But to really start

this cleaning god wants us to clean ourselves completely of sin or in

this sense it would be a down clean on the house, and understand how

to clean, Then each day we have to live the teachings of christ or "

tidy up the house" and give our house a weekly cleaning as well (the

sacrament). But you dont have to worry that your house will get dirty

again because after you give it a down clean (baptism) it is much much

easier to mantain it, because we have all the teachings of christ to

apply each day as well the help from the spirit.

ha kinda hard to explain it in a email but she understood the

scripture. With a lot of people that dont come from strong religious

backgrounds its incredible how many ways you can help them understand

the message and feel the spirit.

But hey take care this week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND DAD! I know they are both close to each other

haha im sorry being far away makes it hard to remember things

Love you
