Transfers (Dec. 12, 2022)

Hey y'all, I hope everything is going great like always. I first wanna make sure and wish Mylie a happy birthday and let her and all of you guys know that she's pretty cool and you should wish her a happy birthday haha. 

We had a pretty dang good week here! I love this branch and this area, it's seriously the best! I'm glad that I will get to stay here, but my best friend Elder Holman is getting to transferred to Curico. It's so sad to think that I'm not going to be working with him anymore, but we've got new opportunities coming for us. I still don't know who my new comp will be because I'm gonna be training, so tomorrow I have to go up to Rancagua and get whoever my new comp is on his first day and bring him down to this little town and get to work. I'm way excited for this opportunity to train, but I am just a little nervous haha. I'm pretty dang new and my spanish sure isn't perfect all the time, so if anyone has some tips for me going into training I would love to hear your wise words. 

One of the highlights from this week was lighting the world with Samuel and Scarlet. They are recent converts and so awesome, they got the idea to make sandwiches and get juice boxes and go give them to people in the park and share scriptures from the Book of Mormon with them. It went so well, people were all so grateful for us and it was so amazing to see the light in these new converts searching for people and sharing the gospel with them. It was great and the spirit was so strong! 

A scripture I want to share is one of my favorites. I have learned on the mission that the only way this great work is actually possible is through the power of God. The fact that we can get up and work all day everyday in a different language and me going and being a trainer now, we are not capable of doing it ourselves, but I know God is always with us. Alma 26:12 says, "Yea, I know that I am anothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will bnot boast of myself, but I will cboast of my God, for in his dstrength I can do all ethings; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." I love this scripture and know that it is the truth, and that if we can be humble and trust in God, we can have confidence that he will help us in whatever it is that he asks us to do!

Remember I'd love to hear from y'all and I'd especially love to hear some wise words on training. I hope all is well and everyone is getting ready for Christmas!

Transfer Week! (Mar. 25, 2024)

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)

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
