On Wednesday during the afternoon we were visiting Miguel, a less active member
(because he is sick in bed because of his age), when President Rappleye called.
He asked me how our plans were for the afternoon, and I informed him we had
only one appointment. He asked if it could be changed for another day because
he had something he wanted me to do. He then went on to say how he knew me as a
sort of "minute-man" and that he could rely on me. I could only imagine what
would follow shortly after a statement like that. He then asked if I could have
my bags ready within an hour and a half because he was sending the assistants to
Pucòn to pick me up. We ended the conversation and quickly ran home to pack my
bags. I plugged in the camera to charge a little and started filling bags. We
took a break and ran to the two houses we could reach so I could say goobye and
then ran to pick up my clothes from the branch president's house. We arrived at
home and finished packing up the bags. The assistants arrived around 10pm and
dropped off Elder Malaver to stay in Pucòn. We arrived in Valdivia around
midnight.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am now here in the sector Laurel (the same church building as
Martìnez de Rosas where I was a year ago). My companions name is Elder Balbuena
from Mexico, and we are serving here as the zone leaders of Calle-Calle. It has
been a really interesting change.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2lvl314rFiokZNlLiIRkFnFRqhSYRM6ae8DWfih3kjOAsgkc2OFbkzvWtmpzKihl9ZRUFu6sqONn74JFoqvoZ_DfmAF9wH8kC2IDZLTfj34r_JMfOY89YdVC772q3WadwHy-9eHa70UA/s1600/DSCN9454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2lvl314rFiokZNlLiIRkFnFRqhSYRM6ae8DWfih3kjOAsgkc2OFbkzvWtmpzKihl9ZRUFu6sqONn74JFoqvoZ_DfmAF9wH8kC2IDZLTfj34r_JMfOY89YdVC772q3WadwHy-9eHa70UA/s320/DSCN9454.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

My last Sunday in Pucòn I had decided to start playing the keyboard (which I
detest very much, rather than playing a real piano) to be able to help the
branch members out. Right when I decide to play, they transfer me. Now I am
playing the piano, a nice Clavinova, here in the Laurel ward. I have decided to
teach classes on leading music and playing piano because the church has a great
program to help people learn. Unfortunately as a missionary I do not have the
time to dedicate to these classes for the quantity of personas that have the
desire to learn. Therefore, I am taking the course material and crunching it
down into a small 6 week program. I will be teaching our ward mission leader
and probably one other person to lead music and to play piano so that when I am
no longer here they will be able to take the time to teach the rest of the
people, hopefully in the whole stake, to lead music and play piano. I have such
a desire to help, yet I simply am not permitted to do it in he full capacity
that I would like to. However, I will do what I can to get things moving.
Maybe someday I will be permitted to spend more time teaching in that
capacity.</div>
<div>
We have been working a lot with members because we are both relatively
new in the sector. I know the majority of the members from when I was close by
a year ago, and we have their trust. We have been teaching them and talking
about their friends. This past week we were able to receive over twenty
references from members and we contacted five of them. This is the first time
in the mission that I have seen such success with references. I urge everyone
who reads these letters to pray about your friends who are not yet members of
the church and ask the Lord how you may be able to present them to the
missionaries. True joy will be brought into your life.</div>

Many things have been happening here in
the District of Villarrica. We have seen many people choosing to follow
more closely in our Savior´s footsteps. On Saturday I went to Villarrica
and Sandra and Odaliz had their baptismal interviews. They are prepared
and will be baptized this upcoming Saturday. We are inviting all of our
investigators, and I know that this will make great progress for the district
for the month of March. We will be discussing baptismal goals and in
March we will see miracles. There is no district meeting on Tuesday
because on Friday we will have Zone Conference. </div>

have accepted the invitation to be baptized and we are working very hard with
our new branch mission leader. We are receiving more and more help from
the members each day. Tomorrow we will have a three-way companionship
exchange with the zone leaders and the sector Ancahual. I am realy short
on time so I must apologize for the shortness of this letter. Today we
went to "Los Ojos de Caburgua" as a district and took a lot of
pictures. It was really amazing. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063142567621455839.post-51557963998187191202013-02-13T13:36:00.001-08:002013-02-13T13:45:44.804-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is Elder Bosse, Elder Jolley, President Rappleye, and Elder Barker. <br />
These three missionaries were in the same MTC group.</div>

The district is doing absolutely amazing. We started a game of sorts
to increase the efforts in the zone. Every time we extend a baptismal
invitation, we are to "pinch" (call and let ring once and then hang up) our
corresponding leader. We set a goal as a zone to reach 18 baptismal
invitations, and we reached 36 in all of last week. Of those 36 there were 18
that accepted baptism. I feel great about the progress that we are seeing.
This week as a district we will be focusing on how to get our investigators to
attend church. I woke up this morning in such a great mood and my personal
study was incredibly effective. The meeting tomorrow will be great with
participation from all.</div>
<div>
On Saturday night we were assigned to speak in church with two topics.
One being fasting and fast offerings, and the other being family unity and
exaltation. I wanted to speak on both of them, so I let my companion decide
which one he wanted to speak on. I ended up delivering a message on Family
Unity and Exaltation. I felt really inspired when I was preparing the talk, and
it greatly strengthened my testimony of families, however when I was speaking I
was prompted to remove several scriptural references from the discourse. I feel
as though what I found edifying for myself was too harsh for the members to
handle. Family issues are very common here and I was prompted to tone down the
message so that the Spirit could testify to them of the basic principles that
aid a family in its progress to salvation. </div>

The sun has come out and we will reach highs of 38°C with only one day of rain next week. Within the next two weeks the population of Pucòn should multiply significantly with all the tourists.
Today as a district we met together here in Pucòn and around a quarter to 1 we left in colectivos to Calabozos. From there we started our hike at around 1pm to reach the top. My companion and I hike this route once a week to visit familias who live up on the mountainside. It takes around 45 minutes when just the two of us do it. We hiked quite a bit farther and within an hour and a half we arrived at the waterfall Salto el Claro. We took lots of Pictures, ate lunch and headed back out. Now we are wrapping up our Pday writing to our families. I just realizad that half of these words have probably been automatically corrected into spanish due to Microsoft Office automatic spell check. Well thank you all for the love and support and everything you do. I hope all is well for this upcoming year, and I hope to hear back from you soon.
-Elder Barker

So today we traveled with the Goodman's to La Cascada, which is a small
town off the coast of Lago Llanquihue about an hour south of Osorno.
About a 45 minute hike from the edge of the town is a huge waterfall
that measures 138 feet. We had an amazing time. The six of us office
elders went with them and we were able to take a lot of pictures. I
uploaded a bunch of them to dropbox. The family might enjoy them. It
was really cool. I remember hiking up Workman Creek I believe it was,
with some friends a while back, and when I saw this one I was absolutely
astonished at the difference in size. I have never seen so much water
falling so fast constantly. Just being at the bottom there was quite
the bit of wind just from the water flow. Even getting down to the same
level of the waterfall you get soaked. Enjoy the pictures.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063142567621455839.post-71470713106557780602012-08-21T18:46:00.000-07:002012-08-21T18:46:12.896-07:00August 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Talking among various Elders with whom I have become close, and during studies and prayer, I have come to realize that it can change. Throughout this week I have been praying, studying, and doing everything possible to find a way to be able to accomplish what the Lord wants in our sector and at the same time fulfill with our duties here in the office. Everything is possible with His help, and anything can be achieved. Success depends on will, and the Lord blesses us accordingly. This week I have managed to organize everything I do in the office to a much more compact schedule. Instead of planning to leave at 5pm (which normally leads us to getting out around 5:30 or 6), my schedule is now built to leave at 3pm like missionaries who are not in the office. It has been very discouraging to leave so late and not have a whole lot of time to work where it really matters. I have found that when I really strive to get everything done, it happens. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063142567621455839.post-65840376841371374952012-07-10T13:20:00.001-07:002012-07-10T13:20:09.095-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today we had an amazing zone activity. Well there wasn't anything
too special about it but we are all awesome people so it made it fun.
We left at 8:30 this morning on a bus to go to the Osorno Volcano. It
is a 2 hour bus ride that was really fun. We got to the Volcano, but a ways up the mountain we had
to stop because the bus couldn't make it any farther. We walked up the
rest of the way, probably about 30 to 40 minutes, taking pictures and
throwing snowballs the entire way. I had never been in wind so strong
nor snow that heavy. We got to the ski resort up at the top, and met a
guy who was from Australia but had worked in some of the major resorts
in Arizona and Utah. He pointed out to us where we could go up the hill
to the side of the resort. It was not open today so we had free reign
of the place, even though the lift wasn't working. We had bought a huge
thick plastic sheet quite a bit larger than a tarp, and carried it as
far up as we could make it. About 12 of us got on this giant tarp and
slid down the mountain in a line. It was so much fun. It was
extremely cold weather and everyone ended up getting absolutely soaked.
The snow was blowing sideways and would hit hard too. I was really warm
though. I had my thermals on, and jeans, and my rain pants that go on
top of that. I got to make good use out off the large winter boots that
I have been carrying around as well. They are extremely warm and
absolutely no water could get in them. I was really really warm.
However when we all got back to the bus everything was pretty much just
wet so we joked around and did what we could for the 2 hour ride home.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063142567621455839.post-51282701243982843652012-04-22T07:33:00.001-07:002012-04-22T07:33:13.037-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Actually Saturday night I decided I wanted to try something new. I was able to get ahold of a small teflon pan and a spatula in order to cook my eggs in the mornings. A few days later (Saturday) I was looking at the pan and spatula sitting in the kitchen and then the thought that general conference is coming up popped into my mind. I then remembered the delicious tradition of making omelets that dad always does. So I took the honor of buying a pepper (that had half red half green... fairly interesting), an onion, a tomato, thickly sliced "bologna" type meat because that was what was available to chop into cubes of ham, cheese, and some bread. I had quite the fun time making omelets this morning. And Im sure the other three missionaries I lived with enjoyed them too. They turned out quite well. I sent some pictures of the experience for you all to enjoy.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063142567621455839.post-49881524167416159542012-02-21T12:52:00.000-08:002012-02-21T12:55:17.396-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifvIqOd2z3pctOs6uKFyXtMpSk27d_onau2Y1EFLsXV96z2kaNIFOIOZp0wJcti1EMs9SaXFbUxdq-ecsDQzXW9HC6VBrADPlth3Zq13-wPMcqQbqqoOOZGigaH0eZIjTE-UWBWV_Fjfw/s1600/Imagen%252520052.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifvIqOd2z3pctOs6uKFyXtMpSk27d_onau2Y1EFLsXV96z2kaNIFOIOZp0wJcti1EMs9SaXFbUxdq-ecsDQzXW9HC6VBrADPlth3Zq13-wPMcqQbqqoOOZGigaH0eZIjTE-UWBWV_Fjfw/s320/Imagen%252520052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711695361572567154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbRKYawxq40zt9iWvAPgP3tuDr96NYoXKYd5B03FB4Vvu5PwU3uTqdAxak5D4oQw2n1is-PEtDeHsKoR6FtGjaxMfsr7g5N6kUAHZvwNJwQodawt6L6i0BhS9BXfYBueCA3COOjyLb4VA/s1600/Imagen%252520001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbRKYawxq40zt9iWvAPgP3tuDr96NYoXKYd5B03FB4Vvu5PwU3uTqdAxak5D4oQw2n1is-PEtDeHsKoR6FtGjaxMfsr7g5N6kUAHZvwNJwQodawt6L6i0BhS9BXfYBueCA3COOjyLb4VA/s320/Imagen%252520001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711695354175255586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjetX-5lAJ6HCDx-WzriIcnDaGDX0flssHSKfq4mGbdtj4Fdx9j32y_bUSCiLHAj8lFj8TOzMpfHf6opSoAz5KRFvus41ukF8PriV9eREi9rNTVBr2l32TRD1Kx3fVmH23FaPXxbG7MJsw/s1600/Imagen%252520048.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjetX-5lAJ6HCDx-WzriIcnDaGDX0flssHSKfq4mGbdtj4Fdx9j32y_bUSCiLHAj8lFj8TOzMpfHf6opSoAz5KRFvus41ukF8PriV9eREi9rNTVBr2l32TRD1Kx3fVmH23FaPXxbG7MJsw/s320/Imagen%252520048.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711695343535626514" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063142567621455839.post-10166676522417579812012-02-14T08:22:00.000-08:002012-02-14T08:50:29.900-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzSCDVlB2Qi94lfnayfkjRz3gzPssLWKD2jndOf-2kM-C4GYmmI-dOlzfyFwYH86li7KVAx8v5mLsRrgR2wsJ9I4V7xbVfXtSKF_tWYEQ_TDYmK71Q684iyS8YugQ7W3pQTBdVjtJXrq8/s1600/DSCN6308.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzSCDVlB2Qi94lfnayfkjRz3gzPssLWKD2jndOf-2kM-C4GYmmI-dOlzfyFwYH86li7KVAx8v5mLsRrgR2wsJ9I4V7xbVfXtSKF_tWYEQ_TDYmK71Q684iyS8YugQ7W3pQTBdVjtJXrq8/s320/DSCN6308.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709034361751310450" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
