Slayer....? Yes, Killer? :D

Alrighhhhhhhhty. This week was crazzzzzzzzy. Actually it was pretty freaking sweet. BUT, like always we finna start with the questions from my mom. :)
-I am good mom. :)
-Last week we got off really fast so we could go to the pension really fast to go to work. 
-The new area that we are in is awesome! So our sector is the city part of Melipilla (Meli-pee-ya) and it is pretty freaking huge for walking (so no we dont have bikes.)
-The missionaries havent been in this sector for like 4 changes.... like 6 months.
-My companion Elder Arriagada (Ar-e-a-gada) is pretty sick! We get along well and work really hard together which is always good. 
-I listened to the recordings in the USB and they are sooooo good and funny hahahah i loved them. :)

So it sounds like everything is plugging away at home which is awesome!:) I love to hear that. This last week has been pretty interesting but good. We showed up and didnt even know the limits of our sector and kinda just left for the street and starting talking to people. We loved it. I honestly love just talking to people about the gospel. We have seen A TON of miracles this week through our contacts... people who actually want to listen to this message that we are going to pass by for this week. SO TIGHT.

Also, this branch that I am in right now is SO different than my last one. Holy... the attendance every week is around 230 people. THAT IS A TON. One of the biggest in all of the mission. The members are like gringos and go ham in the paint. So i Loveeeeeeee the new branch that I am in.

We also live with the Zone Leaders Elder Cannon and Elder McLaws. They are literally the sickest missionaries on the planet and a huge example to me. We go hard in the paint. :)

This next week I promiseeeeeee there will be a funny moment, and a spiritual moment. This week i wasnt thinking and didnt write anything down but for the next week for sure. :)

Also, I cant go without leaving you guys some homework. STUDY 3 Nephi Chapter 11. Really pay attention to the details about Christ. :)

I love you ALL! BE SAFE!

YA BOY C BROOPH SIGNIN OUT KILLAS

Transferssss killas hahaha.

Yeahhhhhhhh. So before we get into this mess, I am going to answer the questions. :)
-My week was realllllyyyy good. We brought 13 people to church with us for my last sunday in Calera de Tango!
-THE NEWS: I got transfered to Melipilla (it is just like Calera de Tango... super country side hahaah) I am serving in a sector that me and my companion Elder Arriagada are OPENING up.... yes, I am opening my second sector in the mission and yes that means ANOTHER white wash hahahah:) My companion is from Chile and he actually goes home next change... so I hope he isnt too trunky hahaha
-I got the valentines day package! THANKYOU:) I freaking lovedddd it and I use all the pins:)
-My bike is all fixed up for the next person in Calera!
-My scriptures are ALL tabbed up and swaggin. 

YEAH, so this last week was pretty solid. I said goodbye to everybody that I knew which was prettty hard but I know that I need to be here in Melipilla. It is going to be AMAZING and today I think me and my companion are just going to walk around and knock on doors.... hahaha we dont even know where our sector is:)

But yeah. It was amazing in Calera de Tango but i am excited for a new sector and new people! I am going to ¨kill¨ my companion this change which will be interesting hahaha. But really i have just been studying the book of mormon a TON lately. If we EVER have a question literally about ANYTHING, we can find our answer in this book. I love this book so much and it has changed my life. I challenge EVERYBODY to read it, ponder its message, and pray about it to see if it is true.

I love you all SO much. Pray for me and my companion Elder Arriagada that we can slay it here and be guided by the spirit. CHAO!

Ya boiii

Brokennnnn bikessss. :(



Hahahahah wassssssssssssup killaaaaas. I be straight launchin straight up from Chile with a sickkkk message this week ahhaha.:) Naw, but of course my moms questions first.
-Hahahahhah yes I fell of my bike (like forever ago... like 3 1/2 months ago) and ripped my suit pants and didnt tell you in email hahahah BUT, everything is good now. I had this lady sew them up and they look decently normal hahaha.:)
-I will try to get this recipe from that lady. :)
-Yes, I am almost positive that I am going to have transfers the 23rd.
-I will start taking a ton of pictures of my everyday places so that I can send them home!
-I am still sick... butI am a little bit better this week haha
-It took literally 5 1/2 months for me to get a bed. :)
-I got 1 of your packages with all the chocolate in it hahah some of them exploded.:)
-We have our own washer, and we hang dry everything in our house. Pretty swaggy right?

YEAH, okayyyyso this week was interesting. Hahahah it was pretty solid but interesting. First, my bike like broke down completely... so I have been walking around my sector for a couple days... until a member lended (idk if that is a word in ingles anymore....) me here bike so now I am cruising around with a girl bike and I am making it look AMAZING. hahahah so thats that. 

This week I had a pretty funny experience. We were contacting (knocking on doors) and a man left who was SO excited for some reason. Haha first he offers us fruit and we gladly take it because fruit is amazing, then he starts telling us that he wouldLOVE it if we passed by his house because he loves to learn about God. So after this conversation, we ask him when we can pass by his house and he literally says this:
¨Shooooot, I am busy right this second, but pass by in June and we can talk then!¨ I was soooo confused hahahah I actually started laughing. Then this guy just tells us, Oh man, keep going with your mission type thingy. And runs inside hahahahaaha. I died. It was a great contact.

Anyways, This week has really taught me a lot about faith. WOW, faith is so freaking important in missionary work. For example in Moroni 7:33 it talks about that if you have faith that something will happen, and it is convenient for the Lord, it will be given to you. So, this week I have just been trying to always hope for the best. When I contact people I try to see them all in white in their baptismal clothes. #WeFinnaGetWet

I love you all. BE SAFE AND SWAGGY. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever let your meat loaf. Chao!

Holy Frootloops



WHAT IS UP KILLAS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Its ya boy comin atcha this week with a quick short email. :) But firrrrrst, the Q´s. :)

-My week has been pretty solid. Thanks. How has yours been mom?:)
-Last week I was sick and this week I am still sick hahaha
-I hope that this package comes for Wednesday because that would be awesome.
-I fixed my SD card, now I am just nervous to plug it back in... but I am going to try anyways.
-You are in the freaking relief society presidency because you are a machine mom.
-This week we had to make our own food 3 of the days... but this week I think only one day. :)
-I am now doing my own laundry and my clothes smell clean as ever. :)

YEAH. So, I dont really have a ton to share about this weeks experiences because it was a REALLY amazing week... and a really difficult week for me. BUT, I can testify this week to all of you that we have trials to learn and to put more faith in God. For example, this week it was BLAZING HOT. Me and my companion were fasting so that we could see a miracle in this sector of Calera de Tango. After being in the street for a solid 2-3 hours... literally I wanted to sit in the shade for a couple minutes and think of what we can do next... who we can teach... we knocked on a random door. We found a family of 4, we taught the first lesson, and they want to be baptized. WOW. There is always someone out there being prepared by God to recieve the restored gospel. I honestly can testify that the Book of Mormon is true. If you truly read it, ponder the message in your heart, then later ask God if it is true.... you will recieve an answer. Like fetch, I get excited when people ask me about the Book of Mormon because it is so freaking awesome and I invite everyone reading this to read it, ponder, and pray. HAGALO! (DO IT). Hahahah but yeah. Thats about it ladies and gentlemen. There are always trials... but shortly after, according to our patience, obedience, and diligence throughout the trial, there is a blessing.

Be safe everybody. Thankyou to everyone who has been praying for me. I love you all. :)

Hotter than Satan´s armpit

Holyyyyyy flemish ladies and gentlemen this weeks emails were freaking awesome hahaha. A lot seemed to happen! BUT, as always, the questions from the most awesome lady everrrrr.
-My week has been really good mom. Thankyou.
-Everything is solid with Elder Leyva.
-I didnt recieve the package this week. :(
-YES, I am hyped for this other package that you have now sent me. You are a machine mom. I love you hahaha:)
-I tracked my package and I dont know if this is true or the website is jacked up buuuuut, it said that my package got to Correos Chile the 21st of January.... wut? Hahahah but it also says that it arrived in the US yesterday! SO, thats awesome hopefully it will get to the house sometime soon hahaha. :)
-I have been roasting in the heat yes. :)
-I did go to Mitzi´s house yesterday but didnt make a video because it was Niko´s birthday:(
-I am feeling pretty solid. I think I am getting a little sick... :(

YEAH. So a couple eventful things happened this week which I would freaking love to tell the people of a different country about. We finally recieved a bed frame! Hahaha we got it on Friday so I am not sleeping on the floor anymore!:) Its pretty nice if I do say so myself. This week I also got to see my pops of the mission Elder Warrick because we had a meeting in MaipĂș. He is doing good and everything which is awesome! He tells me he looks out for my packages that I recieve. :) Me and my companion also are just killing it in Calera de Tango which is pretty sweet! 

But alwaysss when there is good there is bad because satan doesnt like people knowing the truth. So, our investigator with a baptismal date... fell through. It was actually really sad. We were going to baptize her yesterday. But we went to her house and she told us that her family had been talking to her about the mormons and that she cant get baptized.... so she told us that we can never come back in more.... IT WAS SO CLOSE. Honestly, broke my heart. But everything happens for a reason. God is ALWAYS preparing people to teach. With that being said, literally an hour later, we found a man that is about 30 years old and we put a baptismal date with him and hopefully later, with his whole family! SICK!:) BLESSINGS PEOPLE. But really, whenever there is tribulation, according to our obedience and diligence, there is a blessing. 

That being said, my challenge for everyone this week is to read Doctine and Covenants 122. :) HAGALO! (DO IT!)

Thats about it peeps. I love you all so freaking much. Dont let your meat loaf and keep slaying it. :)

Sonnnn of a Hamster

Hahahahha i am going to start my email off with haha because I just like to laugh and be happy. WHAT IS UP KILLASSSSS. I cant even freaking believe we have technology to send a message anywhere in the world in -44 seconds. Wowzahs. Literally blows my noggin. As always, I am going to start with the questions from the lady who brought me to this world hahaha.

-Elder Leyva is from Peru!
-He has been out for 18 months too! Almost the same as E. Warrick.
-It is pronounced how it looks. Lay-va.
-He doesnt work out with me because I havent worked out this week hahahahaha.
-I dont eat very much bread anymore but yes, it is 20 times better than USA. :)
The strangest thing I have eaten...... I dunno it isnt strange but clams. I didnt like them much... I kept on accidentally eating parts of the shell. Hahahahaha
-We sometimes recieve the Ensign and it is in spanish and english. :)

Yeah, so for some odd reason I didnt write a single thing down in my little book of notes of things I did during the week... so I dont even know where to start. This week went by pretty fast! We really just worked out butts off which was awesome!:) It was hotter than Satan´s armpit here so that didnt help but we made it through no problem! We did set a new baptismal date AND she came to church with us which was sickkkkk as flemmish. I about puked. :) Also, today with like 16 Elders, we played Americans vs. Latinos in soccer. I am so grieved to say that we lost... us Americans... but we did it with swag. Not bragging but I did score all 4 goals for the team..... #StepOffKilla

So... yeah. :) Thats about it really! hahaha tonight I have divisions with the new Elders in our district which should be fun!

This week I have been studying A TON. And what I have noticed and read is that knowledge is power. Obviously there are other components which are equally or more important that you need, but what you know will give you power. Mainly, I have been focusing my studies within the Book of Mormon.. holy cow this book is SICK. I love the thing. If anyone has a doubt about any topic in this world, you can find the answer within this book. I challenge everyone to read the Book of Mormon. Not just read it, but STUDY it. Really focus. Try to read 5 minutes everyday for this week. If you do it, email me and tell me! :) I will give you a cookie through the computer.

ILYSM to everybody. Please stay safe and ridiculously swaggy. Cant wait to hear from all ya´ll next week. Chao killas.
