Garret's Mission Blog: February 23-March 2, 2026 Week 35-Coihueco Branch, Coihueco

Hola a todos, como han estado?

Anything baller week

The Lord be blessing me up, this has been my favorite transfer my far. I haven't had a "bad" week since like last year. (There aren't bad weeks when you're in the service of the Lord)

Short Stuff

Last P-day we played Paddle. Paddle>Pickleball

Regained contact with our friend Jose. He was a day away from being baptized and then choose not to be. So that is clutch we got back in contact.

Consejo de zona

Met a baller Haitan guy named Belance. He's goated and his Spanish is perfect. Which is good. I've met a lot of Haitians here in Chile, that are either 1: playing dumb so that they don't have to talk to us or. 2: don't speak like any Spanish. Escuchen a mis palabras él será bautizado este mes de marzo.

8/12 of the reciente converts pulled up to church

Long stuff

Our friend Haniel

He's an 8 year old from Bolivia I've never had the blessing of meeting. He is a convert of the church and was baptized like 6 months ago. We aren't supposed to pass by his crib, (his dad does sus stuff) but one day we saw 3 young kids in public and they were like elderes elderes elderes. I was like why are these children 8,6,5 ages screaming at us. I see that they are Bolivian and I'm like that may be the convert Haniel I've never met, (elder jensen told me Haniel is from Bolivia). Turns out I was I was right. I wasn't tryna to talk to them that much, but I was like y'all should come to church. And they came just the 3 of them . I sat between them to make sure they were not too loud I have more sympathy for moms and dads that have to control little children now

Our friend Angelina

She is this very very nice older lady and she came to church the last week. We had a lesson with her and she was telling us she is a widow, and her husband just died last year, and we see a pic of her husband and turns out he was 100 when he died, and our friend has like 70 years. So I ask her how old they were went they meet, she said she was 15 and he was 44 when they meet and got married. And that is crazy obvioulsy, but the gift of tongues kicked in and elder louder understood perfectly and he could not stop laughing. He was like laugh crying and I was trying to get this jhit under control while not laughing myself. But she was like, (she was not offened, she was saying it very nicely) what's wrong this that. (bruh that's illegal you a vicitm for real Angelina), and we were saying nothing nothing, and than she hit us with age is just a number and love is love agrument, and let's just say we were at her house for like an hour and that was a pretty funny lesson.

In the mission google photos got banned execpt for pday This is clutch Dios es gran. My comp is a D1 google photos addict, which is fine to look during personal time, but every day I'd be like, "elder why you looking at google photos when I asked you to text... " or "he'd be reading sciptures on his phone". The mission has a google photos addictiction but not anymore

Zone Council we talked about getting lost in the work of the God. We talked about a lot about the law of consegracion. Talked about that we will have more joy in our mission and help more people come unto Christ if we are diligent and obedient. Was pretty good zone council. And so the zone chat (like the group chat of all the missionaries in the stake) is funny, "can someone get us a map, cuz we are lost"
