Checking In (Feb. 20, 2023)

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well and know that I'd love to hear from you all sometime! I'm doing really well here, I'm still in Chimbarongo and still training, it's been a very good experience and I've learned so much in my time here. We had a really good week full of work and I ate a lot of empanadas. I love the food here so much honestly. We were able to have the most people I've ever had on any Sunday here at church yesterday. There is so much work we have to do here! Some challenges from this week were that we had a ton of lessons fall through and had to change plans a lot. It was good and I learned a lot, we also got rejected pretty hard at times this week and had a ton of drunks in the streets offering us alcohol and begging us to give them Jesus in their lives. There's a lot of pretty crazy stuff that happens daily and it's gotten pretty normal by now haha. Anyways, I don't have much more to say but I would love to hear from you all! My spiritual message is that Jesus is King and literally the answer to EVERYTHING!

Transfer Week! (Mar. 25, 2024)

Image
Good morning everyone! I hope you've all had a great week, my week was awesome down here in Chile! I'm definitely missing March Madness and the start of track season, but there's nothing I'd rather miss it for than being here in the mission helping the people and making memories!  Things are going very well right now in San Javier, and I'm so happy to be serving here! Transfer news came this week and Elder Biggs got separated, we had an awesome 2 transfers together, made a ton of awesome memories and were able to help a lot of people! I'll miss him a lot, but he's got a bright mission ahead of him and a lot of bigger and better things coming his way! So my news is that I'm going to train for my last 2 transfers here and stay in San Javier. I love this area and I'm very excited to end my mission here! My new companion is Elder Tellez from Nicaragua, he is a recent convert of the church and the only member of his family, his story and testimony are inc...

Joy in Service (Feb. 26, 2024)

Image
Hey everyone I'm back after another quick week of hard work! This week flew by and it was a lot of fun! My favorite highlights from the week were the service that we got to do for some members. Our lunch on Thursday was with a family out in the country and they have a little ranch with cows and everything and I was so happy to be there. I never thought that I could be so happy to smell cow poop and move hay bales but I sure was. It made me pretty trunky honestly haha. Our other service was on Saturday and it was with some other members that live out in the country as well and we got to cut down a bunch of weeds and grass with a scythe and I loved it!  I love the joy that we feel as we serve other people! Serving without expecting anything in return, just helping someone because you love them and they need help, it's the best feeling! Some other highlights are that we found another part member family in Villa Alegre and got the 10 year old son on date for baptism in M...

Weekly (Mar. 4, 2024)

Hey everyone, I really haven't had time to write today and sorry this email is going to be really short, but I'm keeping at my goal and I'm not missing any more weekly emails. This week I had an exchange with Elder Calizaya and it was a lot of fun, he's about to finish his mission and he really helped me see how to have a positive attitude until the end of the mission! We did some fun service stacking hay on Saturday, I was so happy throwing those haybales haha. We had some friends come to church and they're really excited to get baptized here in a few weeks! I'll send more next week about what's going on. I hope you all have a great week, I love you all! Elder Micheli
