Aracely's Baptism!! (May 20, 2024)

Hey everyone!! I hope you all had a great week and that you're all getting ready for summer! I wanna give a quick shout out to Mylie for winning state all 4 years of high school in pole vault!! That's awesome!

This was another really fast week and everything was really normal. We did a lot of work with our people in teaching and members. I've been here in San Javier for a long time now and know just about everyone from here and have been able to build some really special relationships. It's a lot of fun serving here right now!

A huge highlight from this week is that our friend Aracely got baptized! We contacted her mom in the street a while ago and invited her to church the next day, she was sad she couldn't come but said that her daughter would be able to and the next day she showed up! We then started teaching her and she's been coming to church every week and has progressed a ton spiritually! It was a great baptism, now we just need to get her mom baptized!

A quick spiritual thought from studies this week is from 3 Nephi 22, which is also Isaiah 54. In verses 9 and 10 it says. "...for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee." These verses really stuck out to me, that the Lord has sworn to us that he will never get angry with us. He loves us and he is patient with us even though we're imperfect. He has all of his faith and confidence in us that we will be able to achieve our potential. I love learning about our loving father in heaven and doing my best to share his love with others every day.

I hope that you all have a great week and that you can all see the Lord's hands in your lives daily. I love you all!

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...

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
