October 14-October 20, 2025 Week 16 Centinela Branch, Talcahuano Chile

Another great week, but as the title suggests it all blurred together like every other week . It all makes sense now why every one and their mom was telling me I had to write in my journal a lot in my mission.

Highlights/summary 

-pday played some fire ultimate frisbee, big shoutout to the Elderes de Talcahuano

-Tuesday the Elders of the Centinela watched the reorganizing of the first presidency- shoutout President Oaks 

-Wednesday I was showering and saw the most massive bug I've seen in my life in the shower

-Wednesday had district counsel

-Friday Elder Macais and I did yard work in our house for like 3 hours in the morning, like trimming hedges and the branches and all the stuff- our house looks really nice now

-Friday intercambio with Elder Winter in Centinela- he's also another missionary in his 2nd transfer- Learned that day that I can actually speak some Spanish now

-Saturday had a service project removing grass for a guy in our ward 

-Sunday had stake conference, where the theme was the temple 

*Friends we are teaching* -

We are teaching a lot of people these days which is pretty lit

-a young man named Aaron. he's from Venezuela. he's pretty lit

-a boy named Alexus. his grandpa is an inactive member

-a woman named Sandra and her son Matias. we found them on the street

-a woman named Alejandra whose brother and nephew are recent converts 

-and had a bunch of one time lessons from which we got dropped (happens)

Be unfortunately it was stake conference so the chapel is was like 30 minutes so nope of them came to church rip

Spiritual Thought

Elder Kevin Brown 

"Brothers and sisters, a testimony of Jesus Christ was never meant to be a temporary gift. Nothing about it is temporary—not the giver, not the gift itself, not the deliverer of the gift, not who the gift is about."

I liked this talk a lot, if you haven't listened to it go listen to it. But these 2 years are a gift for me to invite others to come unto Christ, but also for me to be fully converted to Jesus Christ. And that is pretty much the #1 of the mission, which is pretty hype. 

Well, hope y'all have a great week. Feel free to email me, and ill respond like 7 weeks later I promise
