April 2, 2012 - Chilean Zoo!

Hey how goes it!

  General Conference was fantastic! We all watched it up stairs in the Stake building with all of the English missionaries. And we were able to eat snacks the whole time. And Sister Humphrey made cinnamon rolls it was delicious!

 I got a bunch of notes so it was great. I loved Priesthood session it really animated me!

  This week we found some great people. We got a reference for an Ecuadorian kid who lives with a bunch of members! His name is Inty! And some missionaries worked with him before but now he is listening more, and he wants to know if the Book of Mormon is true! So that’s sweet, and he made it to a couple talks of General Conference. We are gonna have a huge Family Night at their house with a bunch of people so it’s gonna be great! I think we are gonna watch the restoration the long version, so I’m excited for that.

  This week on Tuesday we had District Class, and President Humphrey showed up all of a sudden. And he shared a couple of words so it was cool. It was because we almost broke the record of the most baptisms in the Concepcion Zone ever. But then he came to my District class so it was a little intimidating, and I had to show an example in front of him. But it went great we were all edified together! And I brought some Alfajores of Animo. I bought a pack of the little Chilean Cakes in the Store and wrote Alfajores de Animo on a piece of paper and taped it on the front of the box and busted them out in District Class and they all got stoked, and then I passed them out. So it was sweet. We had a great week.

  Today for P Day we went to the Concepcion Zoo! It was suh weet! There were Tigers, Lions,  Bears, birds, ducks, Llamas and all kinds of animals it was sweet. I got some sweet footage, but the computer isn’t working great so I’ll get it on next time. But I bought some trucker hats, they are sweet!

 Being here in Concepcion I’ve done a bunch of service! I love it! Last week I worked on 2 roofs, and this week I hauled sheet metal up a hill for a roof, and hauled buckets of dirt for an hour to fill in a front porch. So it’s sweet. It always feels good to get the blood pumping, and to share some love. They are always real grateful for the help.

  But I’m still trying to get the sector down. It’s kind of been hit or miss. Some days we get a bunch of lessons in and have some good success but then the next day we spend walking around because everything falls. But I’ve learned just to keep up the faith that everything will work out for the better and to stay animated about everything. I don’t think a reason exists to inanimate yourself. So its a constant battle here. I learn more and more about myself and how things should work and what works best.

  So I’m looking forward to another great week, we have a couple of baptismal prospects so we should see some good things by the end of the month.

  Well I love you guys and hope you all have a great week!

Les quiero,
