November 19, 2912 - Thanksgiving in San Carlos!


Hey how goes it everyone! This week went by fast that’s for sure. Everything is going great here in San Carlos! Elder Bueno my new comp is a stud. He is full of genius ideas to help this ward get going. We taught some good lessons with members, and we passed by a bunch of them and we have an activity planned for this Friday. We are gonna play some soccer and watch a movie so we hope it goes well! We had a good week. We worked really hard. We found some great people. One day on like Friday we passed by a lady me and Elder Benitez had contacted and she was golden! We taught her about the plan God has for her family and she loved it and said that she wanted to go to church and wanted to read and pray to know that it’s true! So we were way stoked. But we passed by on Sunday to go to church and she was sleeping and we tried passing by on Saturday with a member to teach her but she wasn’t home so that was a bummer. But we are gonna pass by this week and see how she is doing and get her excited for church. She has a little daughter who sang for us some songs she had learned in her school.
 But on Sunday we had Elvis and Maria show up to church: During the week we passed by with Brother Garces and we taught Maria and her mom Maria. We found out that her mom was baptized but not confirmed, and Maria the daughter wants to learn more and she accepted fecha to so we are excited to see if she progresses. Her and Elvis are married and have a baby on the way. And Elvis wants to learn more and see how things are. So pray for them! 
On Friday we had a soccer game with some investigators to get more people to church but they didn’t end up coming to church. So we are gonna see what we can do with them. But we are super excited because San Carlos has a huge potential. Right now about 75 people come to church and a while back about 120 came to church consistently so we are gonna see some big changes. We are gonna do a lot more activities and get the ward animated! 
Today I had a leader capacitation in Chillan so we had to go to that. It was super! I learned a bunch of things that can help out my District. President Humphrey is so great he is a stud. He has so many great ideas. He told us that he is going home in 7 months and he don’t even think that I’m gonna be trunky, because this mission is gonna keep rising like it is! So that was cool. He has done a lot for the mission. I have seen so much changes since my first exchanges in the mission. Now it is much more efficient and we get a lot more done in a shorter amount of time. So I’m stoked for that. But this week is super important because we have to find some people that can get baptized in December. This is the last week we can do it, so keep praying for us! 
 But I’m loving my time here in San Carlos I’m gonna do my best to leave it bigger and better than it was when I got here, so that’s gonna keep me busy for these next few months! I love you guys and hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving!
   les quiero,
