Hey mom,
TAKE THAT NAVY!!!!
Alright now that’s been said, on to
the important things. Received your package of workout clothes and GARLIC
HERBS!!!! Very nice surprise. I guard
that stuff with my life in the house.
Thanks for sending something to
Torrie and Tori. ALSO I have an idea for the ward but I would need a little
stuffed teddy bear that looks like a missionary. Can you check into this? Thanks.
I got the letters from the Primary
this week. please thank Sister Smith for sending them. Katie Walkers was
especially hilarious. "is it Chilly in Chile? (the answer is a resounding
NO now that spring has sprung), do you eat Chili in Chile? Are there Chilly
Chilis in Chile?" I was very impressed with her capacity for humor at such
a young age.
This last week Elder Jensen (BYU
PLAYER) and all were suuuuuuuper sick. Stomach virus knocked us right in the
gut. We were sleeping by the toilet for a couple nights. But all is well now
and were working again, lost a couple more pounds but they were coming off
anyways.
Other wise this week was good.
Katherine our investigator is finally living by herself but now she doubts
that she’ll be able to keep the law of chastity or Word of Wisdom. So she doesn’t want to be baptized soon. We
just need to kind and encouraging and find out which spiritual tool we need to
use to help her see the light (following President Uchtdorf’s talk from
conference)

Elder Ospina is leaving
me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He heads off to Talcuano centro tomorrow and Elder
Villaroel will be coming to replace and be my new comp. it is a bery
bittersweet feeling. Elder Ospina and I got along very well together and it may
be difficult to adjust to Elder Villaroel but the Lord gives us challenges for
a reason right?
General Conference was amazing. 10
hours never went by so fast. I really liked the talk given by Jorg Klebingat
about the 6 things for peaceful assurance. It’s fairly obvious that I am not
having the most baptism or people progress, but I know that by following the 6
steps he talked about and by applying the Atonement in my life and the lives of
my investigators, I will be more self-assured of the good that I’m doing
in the world.
ALSO IF ANY NON-LDS (not mormon)
person is reading this, PLEASE watch ELDER DAVID A BEDNAR from the last session
of general conference. Please, it’ll
take 10 minutes but it might change your life.
We have a lot of changes coming up,
and I’m glad to have the opportunity to experience them. I love all of you and
remember from the very deepest part of my soul....
Elder Watts
