W72: Elder Margerger

Mon, Aug 4, 12:34 PM We had cambios last week and now I'm with Elder Marberger. Hes from Salt Lake and he's a cool dude. He had a bunch of ear training for the piano. I'm going to try and have him teach me. But we'll see how far I can get. Yesterday we had the baptism of our friend Sebastian. He is a friend of one of our members and our member ended up baptizing him which was awesome. We almost flooded our house. I was doing a load of laundry and as the washer was draining the drain tube fell out. So instead of the water going down the drain it just went onto the floor. I was just doing some studys taking mate when all of the sudden I saw water on the floor. I thought I had spilled my thermos but then I saw that my thermos was upright and that the washer was leaking through the door. So we had to dry the house for like an hour. The Zone is flying to Pto. Montt right now for zone conference. It'll be fun to see some people because I haven't left Coyhaique in like 6 weeks. They used to travel to Zone Confernces but then I think realized that people got really lonely if they were so far away from everyone for so long. Its always nice to see friends even though many of mine went home last transfer. I've been thinking of how little time I have to do so much more. Hope you all have a great week. Love, Elder McMillan

W66: Answered Prayers

Image
We had the cambio call this morning and my prayers were answered....I'm staying in Coyhaique with Elder Parronchi for another cambio. Nobody stays 3 transfers in Coyhaique but God it good. The members are great, miracles are happening and we get fed well so life can't get much better. I'm killing Elder Parronchi which means that hes going home at the end of this next cambio. So we're going to work harder than we've ever worked as his farewell gift.....President Bensen said "One of the greatest secrets of missionary work is work!" Let's Go! We had a crazy week with the whole end of the cambio thing. We also had to make sure that we got one of our friends to church because she didn't go to church last week and she needed to get confirmed because the family got sick. So we were lowkey stressed about that but it all worked out. We met someone who believed in something called "Krishna" who is apparently like another God thing that played ...

W36: Upward

Welp, my time at Entre Lagos has come to an end. We ended on a high note...one of our friends chose to get baptized. She is a little bummed that the Elder she wants to baptize her is about 1000 miles away in Punta Arenas (next to Antarctica). Super stoked for her. She will be in good hands with Elder Cresap who is replacing me in Entre Lagos. He was my first online companion in the CCM for 1 day but we made that day count.  I was preparing to make the most of another transfer in Entre Lagos with goals to work a lot with the members but there are other plans for me. In retrospect I feel like it was just the right amount of time to be here.  1 transfer would have been too short but 3 would have felt long but I was prepared to stay. One of the most interesting things that happened this week was witnessing a cat fight outside our apartment.  It was pretty funny with hair flying in every direction in the air.   God is sending me upward....litera...

W29: Chilean Independence Day y Dar Jugo

Image
September 23, 2024 This week we did both the most work and the least work. Since it was Chilean Independence Day on Wednesday, a member invited us to their parent's house. While we normally would say no as we are on the mission grind, we gladly accepted since hanging out with missionaries wasn't a top priority for most Chileans on Independence Day.  They mentioned their parents lived way out in the campo (country) so we were like, "cool lets go!" When you live in Entre Lagos you are an hour from anything (argentina in one direction or missionaries in the other) and so when you say you are going to the campo, you are legit going to the middle of nowhere. To get there we went on the highway for a good 15 min, then a dirt road (ok still cool), then back to pavement for 2 minutes, then 10 minutes on a gravel 2 way road before going back to dirt for 5 min. We were literally in the middle of nowhere. I had so many questions.  Like what happens if someone in their fami...
