"I am completing a year this week! Ah! No lo puedo creer! (I can't believe it)
Well...Chile played Switzerland today. I heard from my window an irruption of screams. Like the entire city. I heard horns blowing, I think I even heard fireworks. Later, we went to go buy a few things for the week and that is when Chile won. A guy ran into the store, decked out in a Chilean flag, amongst other Chilean attire, cheering for his team. It was a little crazy, but fun to see the love the Chilean people have for soccer. People will be happy, at least until we play again; how can we relate soccer to the gospel? Maybe they will let us into their houses now. Chile is advancing.....woo hoo! Its worse than American Football, the noise and the emotion!

Investigators to pray for:

"Marcos, Andres and Diego- that they will go to church and accept the gospel/know that it is true and get baptised soon.

Julianna and Rayel- Support from their family, that they will get baptised this weekend.

Carla and Nicole- Go to church next Sunday and get baptised on the 30th of June.

We have four baptisms planned! Pray for these people please!

"Being Senior Comp. is strange. My companion has a lot of confidence in me. I lead the lessons and decide stuff. Weird. Its a great feeling sometimes, but a lot of responsibility. She is a great support. She is very tranquila (laid back) and I know we will have a great time together.

"Last night we were talking to this viejito (older man). He started talking about himself and starting crying for having lost his wife amongst some other things. I just felt this great love come over me in this moment. I really could feel the love that the Lord has for this man, as well as the pain from the hurt that he has. I became teary eyed. We really feel the Lord's love as missionaries. I will never forget just this blanket of love come over me. That is extremly powerful love. There is a level of love that we grow to understand amongst our brethren and within our families. I am so grateful to have felt that love that the Lord has for Jaun and testify of it to him."
