I am here next to the coast right now and there was a huge Tsunami warning and everything and it was looking like bad news for us that's for sure! The big old sirens were going off and everyone in Chile was going nuts. When the earthquake hit we were in these really old ghetto apartment buildings and I thought we were dead. The thing started shaking pretty stinking bad and it was making all kinds of scary noises. What's funny is we had just started the lesson and we were praying when the earthquake hit. Everyone started booking it out of the buildings. We seriously all thought that we were toast! But we were all okay after all.</span></span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
When we were walking back it was chaos. Like I literally felt like I was in a war movie or something people were driving like idiots there was a couple of car wrecks and we were just booking it back to the house when we get a call that there was going to be a tsunami from our zone leaders. Without hesitation, we knew it was time to start booking it out of the low land and start getting to the high ground.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Lucky for us our apartment was right in the Tsunami warning zone so hahahah thats a good old time right? But also lucky for us some other elders live in a really old scary apartment building a <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">good ways up the hill. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So we booked it for their house that is a 10 story building but is super ghetto. All through the night we could feel the aftershocks and at one point we thought the apartments was going to fall in. But all in all it was okay haha! Well you are wondering right now why is he writing me this story on a T<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_594604114" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">hursday?</span></span> We got a call from the zone leaders and they told us to write are families to tell them that we are okay! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So that's that why you got an email today! hahaha. Also BTW there was not a tsunami here which is kinda funny</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Well that's all Love you all!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am super stoked to announce we had a baptism this week! His name was Martin!
We where not able to actually baptize him because his step-mother wanted his grandpa
to do it for him. Martin is 13 years old and says he is thinking about
serving a mission now! We are super happy for that. We found his step-mother and she had been inactive for about 3 years. We found her and
now she going to church every single week with Martin and his dad. Our next goal is to get the dad baptized. He is kind of a "Goon" though, so its
going to take a lot of prayer and fasting to get him humbled enough to accept his baptism. We were able to confirm Martin <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_963792102" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span> at church. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I would like to thank you all for your support and love. I am working
hard down here in Chile and I'm doing the best I can to make due
with what I've got! I love you all and I hope you have a rad week! Sorry
about the picture its pretty chanta! </span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Me and my comp had one heck of an experience yesterday. This pastor dude decided he wanted to fight with us. We wanted nothing to do with him we were just walking down the road minding our own stinking business then all the sudden this dude decided he wanted to fight us or bible bash us. We where already having a cruddy day so we kinda M16'd him.... It was pretty bad but funny. He was pulling all kinds of crap on us and we were able to come up with something to respond to him. It was pretty funny. because we where both just letting him have it. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
He kept trying to accuse Joseph Smith and stuff so we started talking to him about the first vision. He said that Joseph Smith wrote the book of Mormon. but no he actually translated the book of Mormon. Then he said he read half of the book of mormon and said he didn't feel anything so I looked him in the eyes and said Mr, If you really read the book of mormon then tell me whats it about. Tell me what's in it. He didn't know what to say so I explained to him that lying is a sin and he needs to repent of that now. I also explained to him that we are representatives of Jesus Christ and so he just lied to Jesus Christ. Ohhhh he started freaking out. Then my comp asked him what the name of his church was because him being a pastor owning his one church. He said it was the church of </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Pentecostal. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Then I said thats neat, We are the Church Of Jesus Christ not the church of Pentecost. He got all mad and went running into his house. I think that's the last we will see of him. But during this whole thing he was saying all kinds of crap that wasn't real. like Joseph Smith raped children and that when we close temples down that we rape woman and do bad stuff in the temples because he had learned all of this information from an ex member of our church. Haha right because an ex member is the person to believe when it comes to learning things about not our church but the Church of Jesus Christ. I can't believe some people.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
But other than that we had a pretty good week this week. We have a baptism <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2106793182" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this friday</span></span>. So we are super stoked for that. My hardback Book of mormon saved me this week from getting bit by a HUGE dog. Haha we where walking down the road and I had my hardback book of mormon in my hand and this huge dog comes running out of no where and so my comp just starts booking it. But instead of running I took three steps back stood my ground this thing comes running up and I Swing and miss this dog by about half an inch the thing turns around and starts running I chase after it until it was pretty far away. I was super happy to have my good old hardback Book of Mormon with me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Well thats about all for now. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I hope you have a great week this week</div>

Sorry I really suck at writing these but oh well haha you get one this week. I hope that you all have had a great week and as always don't forget to read your Book of Mormon and say your prayers every single week. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br /></span></span></span>

Well we had change meeting nothing really changed as for me. I am still in the same place right now which is rad because we got some sick people here who are ready to follow Christ and get baptized which makes me super stoked. As for my shoulder well yea we are working with it still so just keep me in your prayers and that would be super duper rad. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
as for the foto del semana its pretty self explanatory I think. STOP HORESIN around yea guys and go REPENT SINNERS. Nah just kidding but just remember that your brother suffered for you so you could return one day to his kingdom. The power of the atonement is real guys I use it everyday. I wasn't always the best dude. <span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">But I am working on becoming the better dude every day out here. That's why we are here on the earth is to become better every single day. A saint is a sinner who keeps trying. Thats what we all need to remember at times I think. Well as always I love you guys. Please keep me in your prayers. Also got some homework for ye all haha. Find your favorite verse from the Book of Mormon and send it to me this week. I need some new stuff! Love to hear from you this week guys.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Well heres the dealy deal here. So If I come home with out proof that I need to come home there is a 100% chance that I will not be able to come to santiago again and they will send me to some state mission IF I go back out. I really don´t want that I have a sheet of exercises that can help rebuild my shoulder but they hurt REALLY bad. My shoulder is driving me crazy. I can´t sleep sometimes when ever I try to use it for anything it doesn't work...</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
So even if it doesn't need surgery I might have to call it quits. But anyone that really knows me knows I will put up a reasty fight before I go down so yeah I am going to keep battling it out for as long as I can. Because I don´t want to have to come home. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Well pals and palettes.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
I think this might be my last email for a couple of months. I am going to go to the doctor and see if there is anything I can do to last but my dad gave me a good example. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Running a bad shoulder in the mission is like running a dirt bike with bad wheel bearing is it. One day its just going to fall apart and your just going to fall over and be broken in a lot more ways than you want to be. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Also in the book of Mormon it takes about putting down your weapons of war. I am fighting a war with my self. When things like that usually happens its just pointless and can be resolved really easy if one side is willing to give in and make the right choice. look at the civil war for example. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
It makes me sick but I have to do this which is really sad. I am thankful for each one of you. You are the ones who kept me out here. I want to give a huge shout out to all my missionary friends too. You guys a rad keep going at it. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
I will be returning if I do have to come home. I don´t want to do this but I need to. It hurts really bad right now. so thats not to good. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
But remeber </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Weak things can be made strong.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We all are faced with choices. Some are hard to make others are easy. But always remember that you won´t regret the right choice. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Well as promised </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ha ha....but not really a ha ha ha...So...I got to make this one shorter. But I tore my Rotor cuff in my right shoulder... no this isn´t some sick April fools joke. Like for reals as you can see down below in the foto del semana that's me in front of the Temple in Santiago its a pretty crappy deal. If you could send me some prayers so I don´t have to come home and get usury or some stupid deal like that on it that would be rad. I love you all and thank you for all the support and love from each one of you. You guys are amazing. Well as always Hope you guys all have a rad week this week and hopefully I don´t have to see you all for a really long time. But if I do have to come home I will do everything in my power to get back out here. I love it out here and I really have changed so much. </span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be a very different person that is for sure. But I feel like everything will be okay so don´t worry to much please. Just give me a quick little prayer that I will be able to stick it out. </span></div>

Well, we had to be to lunch to this guys hobo shack by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_907560698" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">1:00</span></span> but it was like 12 miles away from our house so we decided to head on out around 12. The other elders in our pension were coming too so that made it even better. Any way we where riding and we where like 1 mile in and all the sudden all crap broke loose. Elder Aguita got a flat so we tried fixing it for like 40 minutes. But to no avail it didn't really work so crap. So we rode back to the town to get a tire for him when my pedal decided to fall off. Haha thats right my pedal fell off what a suprise. So we went back to the house and grabbed a tool and fixed it. Then we where riding up the hill and it fell off a again so we decided to go to this ratch dude named Mayestro to have him help us out while we where there the other elders walked back to get help on there bike. It turned into a huge mess trying to get everything figured out ha ha. Man those bikes are some hardcore stuff. On the way there Brush got a flat tire too and we manged to get to lunch at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_907560699" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">3:00</span></span> ha ha ha what a great day. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
I decided to hit the REALLY COOL DIRT PILE thing on my bike this week too and I kinda went off to fast and cased my bike and busted three spokes and bent my rim even worse so that was good. ha ha not. Good thing I got a sick video with lots of air and getting chased by dogs after words. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
As for the states we had a whole Whopping 38 people come to church this week hahaha we also managed to find 6 new people that are progressing as of right now. its super cool we still have our dates set for may for the baptisms so I am stoked about that too. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

Its pretty funny out here in the mission. I really hope I get out of this sector I have been here for ever! But that's okay the ward is all right but all the cool people are in the other part of the sector that I cant go into so it kinda sucks. </span><br />

I hope you all have a great new years and I have a challenge for you all read this scripture this week. Read Alma 5 26-33. Yeah good? Its pretty self explanatory. I want you all to focus on verse 33 Its my FAV. God is very loving and forgiving we have to make the effort though. Be sure your ready because its going to be a real cruddy day if your not and there is nothing you can do about it. </div>

All is well in the mission and we are working really hard. Nothing really too crazy this week just the same stuff we deal with every day; getting chased by dogs, having people scream curse words at us because its the only words they know in English. Yeah its all good out here. I made a goal to only speak Spanish, so no more English for me. I am starting to think in Spanish, too! It's really strange. I feel like my English is going to be in the trash when I get home ha ha it is already starting to get pretty bad. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">¿Que pasa familia y amigos? Todas es esta bien aquí en Chile, Estamos listo para Navidad, yo creo? Yo tango una pregunta para ustedes. Que es su regalo para Jesucristo eso Navidad?</span> Okay thats enough spanish for now haha I keep getting all these emails from people using google translator and throwing it spanish for me to read. Its pretty funny becuase google translator does not always function right and sometimes your guyes emails say some pretty goofy stuff. Sorry I have been so bad at righting you guys lately. I had to get some stuff figured out. But its all good now. This week was good I got thrown into a trio with Elder Allen from Arizona and Elder Robles De Ecuador, Its a good experiance and we are having a lot of success. We have four baptisms set up. But its horrible becuase we have to cover all of Rivas Vicuña. The Ward that I have been stationed in. . I. My sector now is about 10 square miles and we don't have bikes hahah. its pretty bad when we have a appointment in one end the sector and then have one in another end of the sector. We have had to start working in Mini sectors because its so big.<br />The top part says Whats up Family and Friends. All is well down here in Chile. We all ready for Christmas this year? I have a question for you all? Wat is your gift to Jesus Christ this year. Look at this video on Youtube. Its called He is the Gift o en español es El es la Dádiva. I want a reply from all of you guys this week.<br />Well I hope you all have a great Christmas thanks for all the love and support you all have given me. I love hearing from you guys. Please dont forget me. </div>

Anyways the mission is good I am learning everyday on how to become better. I have made so many improvements while I have been out here and I have overcome so much. Just keep praying for me guys I need it pretty bad right now. But I know I got this. I can´t quit. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Anyways that's besides the point! Its pretty funny down here its like a million degrees yet you still see guys dressed in Santa suits and you can tell they are just baking! Ha ha its pretty good times out here. We have found 11 new investigators this week which is another huge break through. Another miracle for this week. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Just remember if you are having a hard time in your life that god really does love us and through him it is possible for us to over come anything. We just have to put are trust and faith in him and we will be okay. Sometimes he gives us trials and we don´t understand but its for us to grow and learn. Just remember that someone always has it worse than you. </div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well
yes, This does have a good story behind it I promise! Oh goody. So we
had a leak in our pension and we didn't really know where it was
coming from until we decided to look under the sink. The statue with
Bart and the ties is how we found it. So me and my comp went and
bought that strange chileno thing they use for plumbing and I managed
to replace it with a leather man and kitchen knife! But that wasn't
all there was 2 leaks. The one behind the sink busted on thanks
giving and thats when all heck broke loose we had to get the landlord
over to help us turn off the water then we had to make a new sink
because in the hustle of everything the sink busted and it just
turned out it was a huge mold pit. But luckily my dad taught me a
thing or two so me and my comp and some suppliles from the landlord
where able figure out and repair it. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
kitchen still smells like mold... But thats okay because it makes for
a good story. Well actually just kidding you can´t see any pictures
of it because the computer decided to fail once again... (what a
surprise...) But next week I promise I wll send you some pictures of
the good time we got to have ha ha. You just have to see the pictures
to appreciate what we went through... </span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
had a bunch of letters written for you guys but my comp forgot his
password to the mission card so he had no money. So we had to go to
the office and I wasn't able to send them today. I was pretty peeved.
I mean you have been out here for 2 YEARS! You go home in 17 days.
You honestly can´t remember a card number you have used for 2 Years?
its four numbers.... HOW? Well maybe I need to be nicer to him or
something maybe he is having a hard time accepting its time to go
home. But this isn't the first stupid thing like this that has happed
to him. Not to mention he has decided to go crazy because he is going
home and is really non obedient now. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
cool thing is I am now a 100% A missionary now. I am no longer in
training. which is cool. Well </span></span></div>

<div>
So this week I had the chance to Baptize Ester Del Carmen Gallegillos Romero</div>
<div>
It
was a super special experience for me sepecially because of her
disabilty of not being able to walk. It took two of us to get it done, but we did.
Elder More and I did it and it was hard, but in the end we where able to get it done with
success. We have a couple of more dates set so hopefully they don't fall
through. I have been very blessed down here in Chile and it only makes me want
to work harder.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have many plans set
for this week. Sorry I can´t make this email longer but please know that I love you
all and that I think about you everyday! Also, please know I am working hard
out here and I appreciate all of your love, prayers and support. Hope you all
have another great week this week!</div>

through, though and I am not going to ever quit because I know the moment I
do that is just one last chance for someone to hear the message of the
restored gospel and honestly I know I was sent down here to find certain
people and bless there lives forever.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I actually
cried this week not going to lie. It felt really good, anyone that knows
me knows that I am not a person that gets real busted up over things
but I honestly couldn't handle it for some reason I got really busted up
over that stuff. But I want to thank you for all your prayers I could
literally feel them. I am not kidding guys.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also
another huge thing this week Elder Nelson (yes the apostle) flew down
here and gave a conference to my mission and the Santiago Sur Mission. I
got to shake his hand. When I shook his hand He looked at me
differently than everyone else. Because a LOT of missionaries shook his
hand, I could see him the entire time. I think he knew I was really
going through heck and I almost started to cry when he looked down upon
me. He said something different to me. It was really fast but he usually
would just say (hello elder whoever) but I didn't really hear him. It
was amazing and I felt so much better after that experience. It was a real
blessing for me to see him and his power. This 90 year old man does not
know a word of Spanish, he needed a translator to say
everything. But at the end of the talk he told the translator to go
away. He gave a testimony in PERFECT Spanish. He didn't make one
mistake. It wasn't scripted, he couldn't even remember where he was in
his own talk a couple of times so you can't say that he just remembered
it. He said things that took me 8 weeks say. He really is a man of God. I
KNOW this church is true and if your going through hard times sit down
(or should I say, kneel down) and pray. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you all and just remember I couldn't do this with out your guy´s support and prayers. </div>
<div>
Love Elder Johnson</div>

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }</style>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Okay... I am not
going to lie to you guys. Tuesday the 4<sup>th</sup> of November is
going to be a pretty rough day for me this week. But thats okay
because I know that through the plan of salvation we can return to
the people that we have lost in our lives. I really do miss my mom
and I always want to keep working hard because I know that the harder
I work the more people I will be able to help teach the message of the restoration too.
That I know, and I hope you all know this, too. </div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Anyway, this week
wasn't super amazing or anything. I have really had to pick up the
slack a little bit this week because as always you have to jump
through some hoops of fire when you don´t know Spanish that well and
your expected to deliver. But you know what? Thats okay because every
week I make a lot of progress. </div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I am sorry that I wasn't able to email
you all this week. I got waked pretty hard with some
other peoples emails and I wasn't able to get everyone but please
realize I will for sure get to you next week. Please keep writing me
guys! All of you make the mission a lot easier for me. </div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Something that I've
learned is that if you have any doubts about anything, just sit down (or I should say, kneel down)
and pray! Trust me! It really can turn the night to day and it is a
commandment from our Heavenly Father. The power of prayer is real
guys. Please... remember to make this week better than last week.
If your life is rough remember that life goes on and our troubles
will eventually work their way out. Just make the best out of bad
situations! That's where you find real happiness. Just remember
someone always has it worse than you. Count your blessings and have a
great attitude towards life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Please know that I
love each one of you. I adore you guys to be honest. All of you
really make it worth being out here. There have been times that I
really want to just quit and "throw in" the towel because it just
ain't working, but then I remember all of you. Honestly, you guys
make it all so worth it. You guys make it so I don´t want to quit or
give up. Make everyday better. Always pray and keep going hard and
everything will be okay. Well, I'm out of things to say, so all of you have a
great week and know that I miss and love you tons.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div>
My Preparation Day (P Day) is now Mondays</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also
my mailing address is, well actually I will get it next week I forgot
it but I sent it in one of my mass emails a couple of weeks ago and it
should show up on face-book again soon because of my awesome step mom! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But
anyway for this week nothing to wild just another week out in the
mission ha ha. But I did have some cool stuff worth talking about this
week. The gift of tongues is real. I have made so much progress and its
so nice. I can now have a legit conversation with people and know what’s
going on which is cool but I still make mistakes and its difficult for
me to talk in past tense still but that’s okay because its better
everyday. I can also read the preach my gospel in Spanish and know
exactly what it is talking about which is also a huge jump for me. The
book of Mormon is still tough but that’s okay because I am going to keep
working hard and keep on getting better! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any ways, make time for the book of Mormon guys.... really. It is a huge help in our life’s and God has given it to us to learn from. I know you will receive
blessings if you take 10 minutes out of your day and just read a little.
Heck all ye all have cell phones just use one of those suckers to take a
little time to read the book of Mormon instead of burning time on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook. It sounds dumb but you really will
have a better day. I KNOW that I wasn't always the best example but the
mission has made me want to change into a better person. Really I know it's easy to become lax and not really care any more that's how I lived but
if you make time for god he will make time for you and you will be
blessed. that is my testimony for you all. Be grateful for what you have
tons of people down here live in some pretty bad stuff. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well
shoot! I am out of time but keep writing me guys I love hearing from
you. and it means a ton to me if you take a little time out of your day
to write me a quick email. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not going to lie
this week is going to be pretty rough for me.... I am really missing my
mom but I know she is proud of me and I know she knows I am working my
hardest out here. Well I love you all and I can´t wait to hear from
you. </div>

Well, another great week down here in Chile, Not a whole lot
happend this week but we did have some pretty soild lessons. I feel like
I am starting to get the spanish down so that's nice. Also, I am able to talk a
lot more during lessons and people are able to understand me better
which is also super cool. Each day gets better....which is a huge blessing
for me. I got a haircut from this crazy cuban dude and it was really
cool! He used a razor blade to cut my hair and its the best haircut I
have ever had. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am still not getting as much done as I want even though I work
very hard but that's alright because we will keep going and keep becoming
better and better. Make each day better that's my challenge for
this week...to all that read my letter. You didn´t have a good week? You didn´t get done what
you needed to this week!? Well change it up this week make this week
better than the last make each day better, too. </div>
<div>

No funny stories this week other than we found a lady that
honestly believed aliens would save here and that Jesus was the master
alien. She believed that He would save us one day from the evil race of aliens that live
in another galaxy. That was interesting hahahaha.... We also found a
church that plays rock 'n roll music every S<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1852173089" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">unday</span></span>

Did you know that the FLDS have missinarys too!? Neither did I! However, I am pretty sure I saw some on the streets a couple of days ago.
They have green missionary name tags instead of black and I was really
confused. I didn´t get to talk to them or anything becuase they where
far away but my comp told me that's what they were. I am not sure where
there church is or anything down here but it was different.....that's one thing for
sure... </div>

My comp for being a trainer is really bad at being orgaized me, being the new missionary am not sure what is going on the entire time but here is what happend. So we went to a house for lunch and when we knocked on the door this guy let us in no problem so we sat down and he was talking to us and then my comp asked so whats for lunch and the guy looked at us like we where crazy and said I didn't make lunch for you guys I am not even part of your church I just let you in because I want to join your church! Ahhh! So we taught him the first lesson and we have another date for him set </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_687489270" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this t</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Anyway I had been praying really hard that we could become more orgainzed this week becuase it is horrible how my comp has messed things up in this sector. It is a mess.... Well it was at least. I had a dream of a new sytem that we could use to become more orgainzed. It is hard hard to explain over email but we have made huge improvements on are lessons we were also able to managed 6 dates this week for baptisms which was huge! I am so thankful that the Lord was able to answer my prayers on how to better organize ourselves. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Any way your advice for the week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Pray to god (as always)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Organzation is HUGE. You can work as hard as you want but iff you are not organized you might was well shoot yourself in the foot. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Hard work and dedication!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
