Glad Tidings of Great Joy

I am leaving this as he wrote it, except for cutting the names off... you can see that his English is giving way to Spanish just a bit  Hey everyone, sorry it has been a couple weeks since I have had time to write an email for everyone. We took a couple of paseos these past 2 Mondays and saw some beautiful places and took lots of pictures. Rather than try to fill you in on everything little thing that has happened, I'll introduce you all to our investigators here. Starting with M(40) and his daughter D(8 almost 9, birthday  August 19th ). His partner is A who is an inactive. She baptized when she was pregnant with D. They are both incredible and the famliy is super friendly and loves missionaries. They make and sell baked goods in the house, and he works installing floors. As a younger kid and man, M was a boxer and still looks the part. Imagine a hispanic Rocky more or less. He is a little slower to learn, but his daughter is super alert and loves the church. They h...

There is no letter to post this week.  Elder Brighton did say this however: We went on another day trip today so I don't have much time to write. It was really pretty and I enjoyed it a lot, just took a lot of travel time. We had a good week and had 4 investigators in church and found 6 new people to teach! 

This week flew by here in my new still relatively new sector. I am getting to know and already love the members, but it is going to take me awhile to get to know the streets and things of this sector. There are tons of houses and very little of anything else so that is great for the work we do! We have some campo on the edges and on clear days it is all so pretty. You can even see two volcanoes when the skies are clear. We taught Gloria and her 12 yr old son Angel this week about the plan of salvation and they really enjoyed it and had lots of questions. I think they are going to progress and be strong members in this church, the circumstances seem to be that now is there time. We just have to do our part and work hard to accomplish the needs they have. We are able to do a lot more service in this sector and I love it. We have chopped firewood a number of times and of course moving and stacking wood. They are small things, but it really is a help to these members and I know the...

I made it here to my new sector in Osorno without any problems. I got the chance to say goodbye to some of the members and investigators in Estanque before I left and I felt at peace that I had helped the ward and investigators there. Although we didn't have any baptisms, I did a lot of small good things that I know have helped that Sector and the people there. Now I have the chance to do good here in Las Vegas! I am happy to be with Elder Azeredo again. I have changed so much since my first cambio in the mission that it is almost like having a new companion anyways. We are both excited for the work here and are going to work hard to have baptisms this month and cambio to help contribute to the mission´s goal of 80 baptisms each month. He is a very loving and kind elder that really cares about the people here. He understands the scriptures well and I look forward to all that i will learn from him in our time together again. Maybe I'll pick up on a little Portuguese, but rig...
