I've heard rumors that some of my friends are already
getting back from their missions... that's really strange... time flies by
really fast. It seems like just yesterday that I was starting college and going
to their farewells, and now they're coming home... wow. On September 12, I will
complete one year in Chile.
Yesterday we were going to visit a family and we came upon
an open gate, which is usually locked... so we went through the gate. In the
end, they weren't home, and somebody from one of the other houses locked the
gate. So we were stuck and had to take a dirt road a ways until we found the
road to take the long way around back to Batuco... we spent about 30 minutes on
bike to get back. That was an adventure. I thought we were going to have to
ride in the dark, but luckily the road was lighted.
Antonia is progressing well and excited for her baptism. She
loves coming to church and is learning fast. We are really happy with her
progress.
The Vasquez family's faith has grown so much in the two
months that we've been with them and I am very proud of the faith they've grown
and nurtured. We have seen changes in every one of them. I think Javiera and
Jessy jump out of bed faster on Sunday for church than they do during the week
for school. Sometimes I'm not sure if people can see the difference the gospel
makes in their lives but as a missionary I can see it, and I've seen it in my
own life, and I hope I can help them to see it, too. To see that they are
making the best decisions of their lives.
Thanks for everything!
Elder Garrett
