Chepica Baptism! (Apr. 10, 2023)

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great Holy Week and Easter! It is the greatest holiday that we have! There is nothing better that we can remember than the last days of Christ's life! 

This was a huge week for Chepica!! We had a family home evening with as many people as we could get at Ines's house and President and Hermana Doxey came! We taught an awesome lesson about the gospel of Jesus Christ and used fire and all that! Easily my favorite lesson I've ever taught in the mission! We had a ton of food and it was just such a great night!

We also had a baptism on Saturday! We baptized Jose and it was a great experience to help him get baptized. He had been investigating the church for a long time, but never wanted to get baptized until after General Conference, he felt something really special and knew this is what he needed, and we got it done! It was such a good feeling to get a baptism here after all the work we've been putting in, sometimes it feels like we work aimlessly but when we just keep moving forward, the blessings always come!

We focus on Easter because of the great gift Christ gives every one of us with his Atonement. He suffered, died, and was resurrected. He did it because he loves us so much and because he wants us all to have the opportunity to return to live with him and the Father again. The Atonement is for every single one of us, every person in the world! Not many are worthy to enter into God's Kingdom, but all are worthy of the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. He is the only way to salvation and he has offered it to every single one of us with his Atonement, NONE are excluded! I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I know that he lives!

I'd love to hear from everyone! I hope you're all grateful for how good the life is back at home because I seriously miss it sometimes! I hope you all have a great week!

Elder Micheli

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...

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
