One of the kids at church that drew a picture of us

Hi guys!

This was an awesome week!  Elder Perrett and I have been working really, really hard and the hard work and obedience are paying off!  Our investigators Ramon, Ingrid, Daniel, and Adriana all have baptism dates!  Two on Oct. 21, and two on Nov. 4.  We are super excited for them.

Nothing too crazy or exciting happened this week - just a lot of hard, focused work.  We still had a fun week full of soccer games with little kids, service projects, and throwing rocks at dogs that try to bite us.  Our members this week were awesome.  We taught 26 lessons with members, 16 new investigators, 20 references contacted, and 4 people with baptism dates.  It was a really solid week.  

On Saturday we were walking home and decided to go find one more person.  So even though we were exhausted and didn’t want to keep working we turned around to keep working.  As we were walking down the street some guy came up to us and said he was a missionary but is now completely inactive at church.  But, his son just turned 8 and he wants us to baptize him.  It’s crazy the ways Heavenly Father blesses us for doing one more thing or working just a little harder.  

Life is awesome right now, I really can’t complain.  There are definitely long and tiring days but I’m really happy.  It’s amazing to see people’s willingness to change and improve their lives and the pure joy they get from it.  I’m grateful to be a part of it and to help them find this happiness.  There is no greater joy than living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I have personally experienced it and have seen the same with the people here in Chile.  I love this Gospel and I love you all!

Have a great week!
