Hey guys!
I hope y’all are doing good. Here are the updates from the past couple weeks! First, I left Tocopilla and now I’m in a place called Arica!
Arica is the Northern-most part of Chile so I’m literally 20 minutes away from Perú and Bolivia! Because we’re so close we have a ton of Peruvians and Bolivians here. It’s like a totally different culture here! My Area is called Industriales and in my area it actually has the most dangerous Tomas in all of Chile!! It’s called Sara Chuña! Were prohibited to even go near the border but we have like 3 friends who live there so we just meet in a park or at the church!
We actually have a ton of progress with friends here! 2 weeks ago we found a girl named Barbara on Facebook and she wanted to start meeting with us! She has been coming to church and all the activities and even watched General conference! She’s getting baptized on the 7th!
We also have another friend named Christopher. Both of his parents are members but 15 year inactive… so we have been teaching his whole family and he’s getting baptized on the 14th! We also have another friend that we got from a referral name es Yoe and he’s from Venezuela. His family actually lives in Columbia right now but he is just trying to get money for them and move back!
He also has been coming to church with us the past two weeks and came and watched conference with us! He has baptismal date for the 23rd! Our area has been popping off lately so that’s been awesome!
Now I’ll change the topic to Conference! I hope all of you had an opportunity to watch it because it was super great! I would say almost all of it was focused on Missionary work and preparing to serve if you haven’t!
As I have been out here for the past 22 months I have really come to realize how much of a blessing it has serving and taking his name upon me! I can promise you that if you’re having any doubts about serving a mission God will help you though it and help you accomplish it! He has definitely been doing it for me and I’m grateful everyday for my experience and memories i have made! It really is the most important work on the earth today!
If you do serve, it will change you forever like it has done to me! I love you all, if you haven’t watched conference I encourage you to do so! Hope yall have a great week and I’ll see you soon!Elder Ehrhart
