Hello family! 

Interviews with president were great! I really love interviews with him because he is such a great man and I feel like I receive great advice and help from him with things that I need. I did receive something from the assistants as well.... MY PACKAGE!! I was totally in shock when I saw it there for me!

We had a zone meeting which was great, I really love meetings :) But the only thing that is kind of a bummer is that we aren’t allowed to use backpacks anymore, we have to use a side bag from now on.  We have time to get money and pay for another bag.

This week we have been really happy but just haven’t had really any success. Our goal for baptisms this month is 3 and we didn’t have any investigators who can be baptized by the end of the month come to church yesterday.  The district leaders are a little stressed out but we just need to keep working harder everyday. I feel like I’m working hard but i know there is still so much more that I can do and so much more of my energy that I can give. Please pray for me that I can find the determination inside to work at my full potential. I love you so much my beautiful family, thank you for all of your support and love for me. I´m so happy to be out here serving a mission and to be here in Chile. There isn’t anything else I want to be doing.   

Something really awesome I studied this week is that if we are Representatives of Christ we need to love the people like Christ loves them. He loves us so much that He gave His life for us. Our president said "are you willing to give your life for your investigators and new converts" as I thought about that I realized that I’m not. I love them but not in the same way the Lord loves them and I’ve been really trying to focus more on loving the people no matter what they say or do to us. I just have to be humble and love them. It’s probably the hardest thing ever to try and not have a singe bad thought about someone who gets mad at us for coming to their house but it’s so worth the struggle because I feel the love of God more fully in my life. 

Keep working hard family and know that I love you and pray for you always! Until next week!

con amor,
