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.

Holy Stars for the Love of Liza

Wasssssup killas. This week was reallyyyyy interesting! BUT, of course my moms questions. :)
-My week was interesting and good hahaha
-I finally got my last freaking shot so I am not going to die from rabies. :)
-Elson is doing better. Elder Parker (different Elder that I went on splits with) and I taught him the first lesson again (Restoration) and it was very spiritual and amazing. He said he is going to pray on his knees for help. So yeah, we are going to go by his house tomorrow!
-I got my new scriptures whooooooooo! I am hyped. Yeah, we went by the temple to get them on the way to the doctor for Elder Warricks foot!
-I am worried about the package. :(
-I dont think I need anything from home. :) But thanks!
-The pension is superrrr clean and I clean my bathroom at least once a week!
-I havent gotten the package yet sadly... :(
-I am taking my SD card to this guy who supposedly knows how to take off viruses! Sooooo, yeha. :)

So, this week was normal hahaha. Something cool that we did was have a little family night with an active family and an investigator. We played a quick game, shared a message and then had dessert. Well the dessert was this:
-Avocado
-Condensed Milk
-Ice
It was an avocado milkshake hahahahahaha. And i was really kinda hesitant to try it but it ended up being REALLY good. So if you wanna make it at home, use a whole avocado, a can of condensed milk and a bunch of ice! its pretty good. :)
Besides that... Elder Warrick left! It was the biggest shock ever. I was literally like 100% sure that he was staying here in Calera de Tango but he had changes! So right now I am with my new companion Elder Leyva. Yes, he is latino so I am only going to be speaking in Spanish now!  Pretty cool. He seems like a pretty cool kid so that is good. It is sad that Elder Warrick left because we had a TON of fun but yeahhh. :(

Besides that, I wanted to share a spiritual thought. Along with the spiritual thought of Hayden Smith MY DUDE, obedience is KEY. I shave every day too, i dont need to, but it is a rule (although I have noticed a difference that my hairs are getting darker and thicker so one day I hope i can grow a RATCHET mustache so that when I go down the mountain on a powder day and take off my helmet and goggles, there is just a little frost hanging off of my mustache, random thought) and really we NEED to follow every rule. Especially here in the mission. EXACT obedience is key and we all need to strive to keep EVERY single rule.

Its ya boy C Broph

ILYSM TODOS!

Happy Freaking 2015 Slayers

Wasssssup killas. Its ya boi Elder Brophy coming atcha with some swaggy news. This week we did practically nothing hahahaha. So this email is going to be a little shorter (everybody breaths a sign of relief that they dont have to read another long email hahahah). But yeah... BUT FIRST. QUESTIONSSSS KILLAS.

-I cannot believe it is a new year hahah
-Elder Warrick and I didnt do really anything... we made milkshakes and after midnight we went to sleep hahhaha #Swag
-The Chileans to celebrate the new year do fireworks here and get drunk.... so thats fun.
-My dog bite is feeling good. I went to get my last rabies shot and the hospital didnt put in that I got my 4th one so I had to get my 4th one AGAIN and now I am getting my 5th (really my 6th) on Wednesday. SUPER IMMUNE!
-Pouch or letters. I love them both mom. :)
-I get mail this week on Wednesday so hopefully it is there. If not we have changes on Monday so I will check then too. :)

SO, this week. Last monday and Tuesday were normal days. THEN, E. Warrick just started feeling like trash (sick.) So it got worse on Wednesday until he couldnt feel like he could leave his bed. So, we stayed in the house since Wednesday until Sunday. Yeah... it was SO boring. Hahahahah I studied alot and studied the bible alot as a matter of fact. But yeah.... I also made a homeade red-card so when we play soccer I can kick people out for fun hahahaha. :) But thats really about it!

I do however have a spiritual moment of the week. I dont remember where I was reading but I read this quote. 
¨You cannot convert someone beyond your own conversion.¨ 
This phrase really hit me. First, I need to be converted to convert someone else. That is obvious. But I believe there are different levels of conversion. I want to be 100% converted just like the rest of you I hope. That is one of my goals of 2015. To study conversion, to become converted. I challenge the rest of you to do the same!

ILYSM AMIGOS.

Call me the Bowling King

SUP KILLAS. Holy fletcher its ya boi Elder B in the Chile. First of course, answerin the questionssssss.
-Your Elder is doing splendid mother.
-I was alright after skyping hahaha :)
-After skyping we went and visited one other family and i have a story with that, that will come later in this email.
-The people who fed us gave us meat, rice, tomatoes. It was freaking delicious. I puked it was so good.
-Lots of people actually gave me presents! It was very nice of them.
-On new years eve we have to be in the house by 8 o clock... so we arent doing anything hahahah
-I am getting my final rabies shot tomorrow! Whoooohoooo

Awesome. So this last week was pretty crazy! It was really fun. :) We skyped and opened presents on Christmas which was amazing. After I felt a little trunky but Im good now hahah. After skyping, like I said, we visited one more family that lives far away from us to we had to take bus. Well, on the way back home there was a TON of traffic. It took us 1 hour to go 2 miles. Sooooo, with that people started to get frustrated in the bus and the next thing we know it EVERYBODY is chucking up combos and knocking people out. Literally a huge fight just randomly started in the bus. So the bus driver opens the door and everyone piles out fighting and such. Little kids crying on the sidewalk... it was pretty intense hahahahah but luckily me and my companion got out without getting hurt and such. :) Pretty fun. :) Besides that not much else so intense happened hahah.

Today we went bowling as a zone which was incredibly fun and I DESTROYED hahahah. I palmed this ball that was like the lightest they had and pretty much shot-put that trash into the pins hahahaha. :) I will attach a picture here soon. :)

But this week also was really difficult with some of our strongest less active members. This week we visited one of our less actives who was on point of reactivation. He has 17 years and is honestly a beast. Well, we started teaching one of the commandments to him and he pretty much freaked out at us randomly and kicked us out of his house. It was one of the hardest things to see from him.... But I know that through the Lord, through prayer and repentence that everyone can come to know the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are praying for him everyday and I ask of you all that you can keep Elson in your prayers. Thankyo. :)

But thats about it killas. Keep is swaggy as fetccccchhhhh and I am going to continue to just baptize the world.

Chao. :)

Christmas fever Killazzzz

I am just going to hop straight into this stinking email and answer the wonderful questions of my momma. :)
-This week was pretty solid. Nothing huge happened.... just been chillin and doing the Lords work!
-The dog bite is good. All scabbed over and such.
-The shots are good, I have to get my fourth one today, then my fifth on Wednesday i think and then I am done!
-I am not sure if the dog had rabies or not.... But i have felt fine so far so i think I am good. :)
-They didnt give me antibiotics...
-I havent heard of a ton of missionaries getting bit but I dont thinki it is a huge deal here. 
-We finna skype in a server.
-The Christmas party was tigggggght! We had a lot of fun looking at all the pictures and eating good food. :)
-I said goodbye to Elder Brady and he is in Hawaii right now I think hahahah.
-I am still in Calera de Tango... de hecho (as a matter of fact) I think I am going to be here until April now. Holy cow, alot of time right? But some pretty cool things are happening here in Calera de Tango that I cant say quite yet and Presidente needs me and Elder Warrick here right now!


So this week was pretty normal. It was really fun too! I am loving Calera de Tango, all the shots I am getting from a weird hospital.... and thats it hahahha. :) Thisweek I went on divisions with my district leader Elder Parker. And this kid is a beast hahaha i love his guts. We busted out 8 lessons in one day and bought pizza to celebrate. It was awesome. I am really looking forward to this week beiing that it is Christmas and all. I even bought myself a cool little gift today. Here is a picture! :)



But anyways, I am going to keep this short. I love you all soooooo much. Stay swaggy in the hood and YA BOY C BROOPH is ouuuuut. Cant wait for skype too... holy fetch that is going to be weird! CHAO!:)

WHAT A WEEK.

Honestly... I dont know what the fetch to think right now hahahah. Looking at all the pictures of my incredible sister returning from her mission. My best friend chilling in my house..... Que trunky hahaha! (How homesick... something like that). From the pictures I saw from Madison returning home it looks to me like an overwhelmed missionary hahah! I am sure I am going to be the same... just with more style. :) Its a jokeeeeeeeeeeee. Chill madi I love you hahahaha. Wow, I almost forget, my Mothers questions! :)

-My week was really good actually. This week me and Elder Warrick went ham in the paint. We set 7 baptism fechas (dates) and found 13 more new investigators! You could say we took out the trash hahaha. :)
-I wasnt feeling trunky until today... but I still dont feel too trunky to be honest... its just weird to see my sister come home and my best friend go on a mission.....
-I did recieve one hand written pouch letter which I loved. :)

Okayyyyy. So this week Hayden freaking Smith went to the CCM... wait its the MTC in Estados Unidos right? Anyways, that is SO sick. I am so excited for the kid and he is in for a good time. :)

Hahahah something that REALLY sucked this week that I really didnt want to happen is I finally got bit by a dog... yes... it happened. I was contacting a house standing outside the gate... and out of NOWHERE a dog reaches through the gate and grabs my finger and starts yanking that trash. It finally let go and it just starts gushing blood. Hahaha when I first saw it I actually thought I might need stitches but I cleaned it up and it didnt look too deep so I let it be. Well, since it was a street dog I need my rabies shots so that wednesday I got my first one and this morning I got my second one (there are 5 in total), so I will be heading back to the hospital on Wednesday to get my third. HAhaha funny story, the first shot they gave me, the needle was literally bent a little bit.... AND THEY STILL USED IT! I laughed afterwards but it hurt while it was going in to say the least hahahaha. :) So yeah...

Something else that was cool was we had a baptism! Its a longggg story but pretty much Elder Warrick found this guy named Louis a month before I got to my sector with him and taught him pretty much everything (I think I helped teach 2 or 3 lessons with him too) and he told us that he wants to be baptized. Well, he doesnt live in our sector but his girlfriend does (that is how he found him) so he couldnt get baptized in our sector. Long story short, he got baptized in Santiago and we got permission to go and help with the service. It was pretty incredible. :)

That is about it this week folks. Keep staying ridiculous swaggy (Palmer you rockin all my clothes and such you cant help being swaggy) and I will talk to you all next week! I LOVE YOU.

CHAO KILLAs:)
