W80: President Nelson

Another week. We've lowkey just been working out here in the south of Chile. Nothing much has changed. We're going into summer so the weather is getting pretty nice. Like parkas are not always nesessary. Nothing really too crazy happened last week. We did have a homeless dude pull up to the church and ask us for food. We had to explain to him that sadly we cant really give him food which is sad. We also had a cat funeral for a family from our ward. We went to visit them sunday night and their cat had just died. Me and Elder Cresap are just living life. Also I'm hyped to get my guitar tomorrow. An Update on the post cards is that I might not be able to send them to the states because someone told me that Trump has blocked mail but I am not sure if that is true. Things sometimes get lost in translation down here. So thats that. But I'm going to try sending them and we'll see what happens. Our prophet died this week. He'll be missed and was an awesome man. His words from April conference, "we should lead the way as peacemakers. As charity becomes part of our nature, we will lose the impulse to demean others. We will stop judging others. We will have charity for those from all walks of life. Charity towards all men is essential to our progress. Charity is the foundation of a godly character." Confernce is this weekend. Tune in to feel God's love. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/ways-to-watch-general-conference?lang=eng - 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...

W42: Christmas Cookies

Image
Yo so what's up squad. Honestly this week was like a kinda chopped week because of Christmas. But it actually ended up being a pretty good week.  For Christmas it was like really hot out and probably not the most ideal time to go out to proselyte. Either I have gotten used to the cooler weather or the UV rays down here really make it hotter. Elder Benson and I decided that we where going to try and make cookies for a bunch of members then go deliver them on Christmas. Christmas morning we baked some cookies and it was pretty smooth sailing.  Followed a recipe from my dad and then quickly realized they use the metric system so the measurements were different so we had to eyeball some things but hey it all worked out. We also didn't have a blender so we had to hand mix it all. My forearms were on fire by the end up the baking experience. As we were making the cookie dough the oven was pre-heating and essentially heating our super tiny apartment into a sauna. So the oven was not ...
