Hey there everybody,

Well, sorry I couldn´t write at all last week, we took a trip to the south end of my mission to go say goodbye to everyone in Temuco, in my sector of Llaima. It was an amazing experience and I was able to see my convert Roberto. He is doing so great and is preparing to recieve the Melquesidec Priesthood! ;) And he is preparing to go to the temple!!! Woot!!!! That made me so happy that I cried a little bit with him! Haha, you never know what kind of impact you are going to make in the lives of others.

Well, this last week we were able to get a lot done. We have been working hard to find some new people, and we found a family of about 100 bajillion people... okay, maybe not that much, but there are a lot of people who live in that house. :) So we are excited and ready to find even more people to teach and to help everyone come unto Christ.

This last week I had two meetings with Presidente Martinez. The first meeting was for all the district leaders in the north part of the mission and the second meeting was earlier today and it was for all the trainers and the newbies... kinda like a checkup. Elder Miranda and I are doing fantastic and we were able to make some great goals for these next coming weeks before I finish my mission. We are so excited to work and we want to help so many people.

Can you believe that I only have 2 more months left in the mission here in Chile? Time is going by so quickly, but I know that my mission won´t end here. I´m so excited to keep progressing in my life and to keep growing as a child of God. I´ve been learning a lot from Elder Miranda, he has taught me so much. He just finished reading the book of Mormón for his first time ever in his life. He thought it was the most amazing thing in the world. I was so excited every day to hear what he could learn while reading and it was so much fun to see how excited he got. We should all learn to love the scriptures so much in our life! If you´re not studying the scriptures everyday, do it!! There is so much power in the word of god that we need in this life! The words of our Heavenly Father and of our saviour and of the profets are there for our benifit!

I love you all so much! I hope that you all have a fantastic week! Take care!!!

Con mucho amor,

Elder Garrétt
