3:30

It is official! I broke a new record with my companion of getting up at the earliest hour in all of my mission. Yea we woke up at 3 30 AM. Why? 

Well we had a conference with all four missions in Santiago and as always it just happens to be very far away from us. We were going to travel to Santiago the night before so we could get to the meeting on time at 7 in the morning. But they told us the day before that we had to stay in Melipilla. What happened was that we woke up at 3:30 left at 4:20 to pick up the sister missionaries and took a bus with the whole zone at 5:15 to Santiago. Then we had a Reunion with Elder Evans of the seventy. It was super cool!! It started at 9 and ended at 5:20 in the afternoon. A ton of revelation!!!

I learned a lot of things but the most important things that I learned were that we need to search for the people that will build up the church such as families that can serve in callings and youth that will go on missions. We need to help the Lord in His work and not impede him. Also we need to focus on repentance before baptism and not just baptism. Because if people don’t repent they will not be able to receive the spirit they will have the confirmation but it won’t change them until they repent. And we have to help them get to the temple!

We are teaching an awesome family.  The dad is Chilean and the Mom is from Peru. They are reading the book of Mormon and they are such good people I want to help them so bad. They are our friends and they have their priorities based on the Family. The Family is the most important!

Elder Evans said that Salvation is personal but Eternal Life is a family matter because we can’t make it back to the celestial kingdom without the Family.

It was a good time

I love you all
