Greetings from Alerce, Chile! This little nook at the bottom of the world has recieved a spiritual outpouring this last week. Instead of using his usual measuring cup of blessings, God dumped a bucket out on Alerce.
Last Monday: visit with less active that we met through a spirit led re-routing to a lesson last week. Her name is Margarita, she's really dope.
Tuesday: visit with Natasha, this adorable girl with asburgers. She didn't want to talk with us, until we started speaking cat. Needless to say, great lesson. We convinced her to come check out some member's cats on Sunday... during Sacrament meeting...
Wednesday: after 7 years of being married to a member, Pilar Vargas made the courageous decision to be baptized on the 15th! Huge miracle. We had seafood empanadas afterwords.
Thursday: intercambios with the Frutillar Elderes. I was with Elder Aguilera in Alerce💪
Friday: had a call with Shayne Littlefield, who works for the missionary department and visited our mission on Sunday and Monday for another mission-wide conference. It was cool to see where we as a mission lack and what we can achieve through some concentrated hard work. That night we had a huge lesson with the Aedo family, we taught about the plan of God. Yanara and Solange and Namuri want to work for baptism! Prayers for them are appreciated, there's some large acts of faith ahead of them to be baptized
Saturday: yet another spectacular lunch with the Gorostiaga family. That night we found ourselves with another less active family that God just kinda put in our path, Carolina, Mauricio, and Juaquin. Gustavo committed to baptism baptized after his marriage, on June 6th.
Sunday: most people I've seen in Sacrament for a long time. Like 120, it was awesome! Great pascua de la resurrección, Easter Sunday! Taught Pilar every commandment that night.
Monday: Zone conference and Leadership Conference with Shayne Littlefield, which is why I had pday today. After he saw me in person, he got all excited and asked if JD Jeppson was my dad. Imagine serving in THE SOUTHERN MOST mission in the world and being recognized MORE THAN ONCE as JDs son because I look like him😅
Tuesday: Olympics as a Zone! It was rad. Also, Skull king with the Alerce boys🧜♂️🚣♂️
Anyways, love y'all!
