June 16-June 22, 2026 Week 51- Quillón Ward, Quillón

Hola buenas! Cómo están? 

Another great week here in la mission chile concepcion. 

I hear our country is cooking in the world cup right now. 

Also I'm grateful to be out of the country right now. The KNICKS won the finals, what? I do not be needing to see that.

What happened this week:

Had a lesson with our friend who was baptized, Jorge and his parents on Tuesday. His dad is mad deaf like crazy deaf, so we basically be like screaming when we are teaching him. We also let his son teach 

Had an intercambio with my ZL wednesday, my old comp Elder Jensen. It was pretty fun but absolutely nothing happened. We had missionary coordination and that was fun. Me and elder jensen were also remembering and talking about how cooked the branch of Coihuecho is  (the area were we were comps)

Had an intercambio with Elder Murset. Now this day A LOT happened. We were able to put 2 people on baptismal date, our friend Maxi and our friend Lucas  Both are youth. But that was a fire intercambio me and elder Murset were just messing around the whole day and still had a lot of success. I was able to give Elder Murset (in my opinion) some good advice to be a better missionary and how to help his area have success. 

Had district council Thursday. We talked about some very important stuff I am certain. 

Friday we had a noche de capilla and talked about the worth of souls being great in the sight of God.  D&C 18:10

Saturday was the most fire that I have ever had as a missionary (the most i had messed around rip) The thing was we went the house of Jorge to celebrate his b-day and give a lesson, but we were trying to teach the WHOLE family so we had to wait like an hour or so to do so. But we played some uno and some other things. But we were able to teach a family of 9. None of them are that interested right now besides the mom of Jorge, Ubalda.

Sunday we had stake conference and it was pretty good. It was just hard to help our friends come because it was in Chillan. But our friend Jorge came so that was lit. 

Our friend Maxi has a baptismal date for the 28th, but his parents are playing mad defense (they don't want him to get baptized until has got to church for 2-3 YEARS, like what) and another companionship in the district has the same problem, so we are going to fast as a district this week. Please pray for our boy Maxi.

I have been able to see this scripture come to pass with myself personally, growing in my faith and my conversion in the Savior and also for our friend Jorge. He has definitely been the friend that I have  baptized with the biggest change and conversion. So that is awesome and it is a miracle to see!

D&C 18:15-16

15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!

16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!

I hope you guys are well and that you enjoy the start of summer!

What's up fam?

Hope yall are doing well and all that. I'm doing great here 

What happened:

We had a lot of lessons with our friend Jorge. Jorge will be baptized next Sunday!

We had consejo de distrito and interviews with President.

Had a service project in the middle of nowhere moving wood.

Had some lessons with the mama of the girl who was baptized last Sunday. The girl that was baptized is Mariana and her mom is Yazmin. Yazmin agreed to be baptized the 14th! But then the opposition kicked in and now she doesn't want to. be baptized We'll lock her in hopefully 

We did lot of finding new people to teach through members, especially inactive members and trying to help the inactive members come back to church.

I want to share about the power of the scriptures, especially el libro de mormon. The book of mormon combined with the spirit is the tool most important that we have for the conversion of ourselves and our friends. Our job as missionaries sometimes is to read a scripture and help people understand what it says and how to apply it. We applied this principle in a lesson with Yazmin when she accepted to be baptized. we read and applied:

Mosiah 18:8-10, Alma 7:15.

The spirit was very strong in the lesson and she knew what she had to do.

Now when she doesn't want to baptized so we are going to read ALMA 34:32-33

If you have never read the book of mormon i would invite you to. It contains answers to questions you have, like why we are here in this world. What does God want me to do in this life? And as we read the book of mormon, we come closer to God and feel his love for us.

Tuesday: No se amigo. We worked and invited people to come unto Christ.

Wednesday: Intercambio with Elder Bateman. Had a lesson with Mariana and reviewed the baptismal interview questions. 

Thursday: I had an intercambio with elder Palcios in his sector. I had a my first baptismal interview (as a DL) with a 9 year old named James. He is like me when i was 9 prob. He was crazy and very engeric.

Friday: Elder Stephen (my companion) went to the temple because he is finishing the mish so I had another intercambio with Elder Reynolds and Elder Wendling. (Their comps were going to the temple too) Elder Wendling top 1 simp in the world (down bad for his girlfriend). He was writing her like the whole day. He told me that it takes her 30 minutes to read the full email. 

Saturday: Had a lesson with Mariana and did some other cool things i am certain.

Sunday: Had the baptism of Mariana. We went to a mission devotional for all the missionaries and leaders for missionary work in the stake. It was lit. The ZLs gave a presention. The members said the misionary theme and we did practices.

Monday: Had another exchange with elder Reynolds and Wendling.

Tuesday: Transfers. I am staying in my same area. My companion finished his mission and went home so I got a new companion. My new comp is named Elder Mijares. He is from Utah but his padres are from the Domincan Republic. He has 2 transfers less than me on the mish. (3 months less)

Other things:

I'm going to be a grandpa 2x (Elder Louder and Elder Roach are going to train a new misionary.)

I'm DL to only latinos this transfer and I have hermanas in my district (I'm so cooked) 

The church is true, the book is blue, and we are going to baptize you.

That's a wrap folks.

All time record for baptisms in a month for a long time in my mission!
