Best Week Ever! (Aug. 21, 2023)

Hey everyone how's it goin?? I miss you all a ton and I hope you're all doing great!! I'm having a great time here in Chile right now!! This week was so awesome, one of the most memorable weeks of my whole mission! 

To start out the week I had an exchange in Doñihue which is an awesome little town outside of Rancagua. Some highlights of that exchange were me breaking into the house because we didn't have the keys, having a huge chilean party for lunch with the whole branch, and finding and teaching a family! It was a great day, the next day I got to do another exchange in Manzanal which is right in Rancagua, it went really well and we were again able to find some really good people! These were the last exchanges of the transfer and I've loved getting to serve with so many different missionaries, I've learned a ton from all of them and I've been able to get to know some awesome areas and people!

The best day of the week, and possibly the best day of my entire mission was Friday. We got to go to the temple in Santiago and it was amazing! I've missed the temple a lot and we only get to go 1 time throughout the whole mission because it's pretty far away. The spirit was so strong and it really helped draw me closer to Christ! I also got to go with Elder Holman and Elder Wendel who are my best friends out here in the mission. It was so awesome! When we got back we had Valeria's baptism!! It was a great baptism, Valeria is the first of her family to get baptized. We've been teaching all of them and they're progressing so well. I was so so happy all day Friday!!

Anyways there's a bunch of other awesome stuff that happened but these were some of the biggest highlights! I love being a missionary, I love this gospel and I know it's true. Jesus is the Christ, he is the way to salvation. I hope to hear from some of you!! I love and miss you all a ton!!

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
