Wennnnaaa familia!! Espero que anden demasiado bien, y que hayan tenido una buena semana!!

Wow it has been soooo long! I need to get better at these email things! But anyways… im doing sooo good! Just hanging out here in the land of the south! Just eating lots of completos, and, empanadas!

We’ve been having lots of success here which is super fun because this area I’m in, they want it to become a ward! They had no body in teaching and maybe like 2-3 active families coming to church! Now there’s like 15 members which is awesome! Some of them are converts that we baptized, but still its huge! We love this area a ton and just are trying our hardest to keep working hard!

My companion and I are also just living it up! Enjoying every day! He also taught me how to play Magic the gathering which is super fun! I’m not gonna lie it’s gott be one of the most fun board games! It may be just because its a new game for me but its super fun!

Well were doing good! Had a great past month with tons of miracles and fun parties (for christmas) which was awesome!

But anyways we’re just gonna keep living it up! I love yall so much and hope that your having the best day and had the best week of your lives! Until we talk again! Love yall ❤️

Wow! It has been too long! I’m not gonna lie im the worst at writing emails haha!

But im doing sooo good! Just living it up with my companion (best buddy) Elder Bush!! Were thriving! We’ve had a couple baptisms this transfer, and today we put 5 people on date for baptism! God is Hastening his work!!! But anyways im doing amazing having the craziest experiences! 

Some crazy highlights:

– Got my last rabbies shot from being bit in the butt by a dog!

– Had a couple baptisms! One of which was a satanist before which was insane! He was low-key like possessed! But God fixed him!

– Almost died a couple times in the micros here!

– made a couple fun new songs on the Guitar! I’ve been playing a lot more! We also did just have a family home evening and I got to play electric guitar! Didn’t realize but turn out i can play Eléctric guitar haha!

– we’ve been eating quite a bit of Berlines recently! They are chilean doughnuts basically with homemade Boston cream!

– had the best asado of my whole mission with our bishop!!!

– we performed a fun song i wrote for zone conference!

– had a very weird conversation with the quote on quote chilean dinosaur! He told us hes the oldest man alive, and that we have dinosaurs inside our bodies that are aproxomently 6,500,000 years old! Hahah it was the strangest thing I’ve ever experienced haha he also testified that the book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith really did see Jesus, and Heavenly Father!

That’s about it! Just living it up! Preparing for Christmas and really just enjoying the best 2 years of my life!! Proverbs 3:5-8!!!

18 is a week long party??? 🤯

Wenaaaa familia cómo andamos???
Hey guys how are we doing! Welcome back to a nice weekly update to a day in the life of a little (fake) chilean missionary named Elder LeBaron!

Well the life is good! Just working hard! We found some máquinas (really lit people)! But anyways we should have 1-3 baptisms this next week which will be awesome! But ya we have just been grinding!!!!

Also I had no idea that this party here was as long as it is! Like we’re talking, they started the parties Monday and ended today! It’s about the longest party ever haha! Also it was so hard to try and find people this past week! We were able to find 10 but.. it was a lot harder than normal! The good news is the people we found have tons of potential which is awesome!

Well my life is basically the same! Just the same old routine. After a bit you start feeling like a hamster in a wheel haha, doing the same thing weekly! But it’s all good. The life is chill, just living up every day!

But that’s about it! I love yall tons and can’t wait to give yall an update next week! But for now I’d love to give yall a few verses to read….. Roman’s 3:23-26!!!! Love yall! Nos vemos y espero que estén bien y que les vaya increíble! Nos vemos hasta la semana que viene!

18 DE SEBTIEMBRE‼️‼️🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Wennnnaaa choroooss cómo andái oye loco‼️ Hoy dia debo andar má flaite because….. its 1️⃣8️⃣ DE Septiembre‼️ I’m doing so good! Me and my comp are grinding really hard! We got more trust with the members and we had tons of people come to church! 1 of our friends told us yesterday that she wants to come to church Every week! But anyways we’re doing super good and having tons of miracles! Now to talk about the crazy things happening haha…..

  • we had to shut down a road because a guy broke out of prison and started reaking havoc on our area haha so that was nice!
  • I had a dog almost kill me which was not super fun! I definitely had angels watching over me! I also yelled at it,and since im 6’5″ I just acted huge and he ran!
  • we had these drunk people try talking to me and then they were so drunk they fell on the ground hahah
  • this girl came up to me and spoke in English and she was flirting like CRAZY!! I wasn’t prepared to handle the conversation haha I just was being kind she was like laughing at things that aren’t funny and then was like “your Spanish is SOO good” hahah it was funny! But she did have good English which was crazy!
  • I did an exchange in Laguna Verde which is literally the forest and beach! It’s sooo cool! I had a blast!
  • We had a party at our church building for the 18 de septiembre which was sweet! It was low key the biggest party I have ever been to at a church! They cooked up this chicken that was incredible! People danced, and it just was sweet! The best part of it all was we got friends from teaching to come!!
  • These members want me to come back and remember them because I make music! It was hilarious! The member even started crying, it was uncomfortable but I was like, “ya of course ill remember you guys.” Even though they are members from another ward haha
  • we talked to a member and she’s going to buy chicken feet, cow liver, cow stomach, and some other parts of the cow and cook it for us so we can eat it!!

Well this was my week! It was fast but super fun! We’re just working hard out here, growing and building relationships with the members and we’re seeing so much more success! But anyways I love yall so much and can’t wait to talk in a week! My scriptures for the week are in John 20:27-29. These verses are talking about Thomas and how he only believed when he saw Jesus in person, let us not be like that and let us belive always with doubting! I love yall and will talk in a week!

Wena familia cómo andamos? Esta semana pasada fue una semana de maravilla! I hope yall are doing amazing!! It’s been like 700 years since the last time I wrote an email haha! But anyways I’m doing great! I’ve just been working hard and living the dream! My first transfer here in Quebrada Verde is done which is pretty crazy! The missionary I’m training (Elder Stou) is killing it! He’s locked in on his purpose which is awesome! I’m trying to help him as much as I can! But anyways I’m doing super good! A funny thing that happened this last week was there were like 4-5 chilean girls that recognized me from my TikTok and had listened to my songs on Spotify and we’re like, “Hey! Are you the guy that sings on TikTok” and I was like “I mean yeah”, and they’re like “we’ve seen you before but just with longer hair” and just was like “WHAAT” haha they asked to take a picture with me but they had recognized me from TikTok which was pretty funny! But anyways we’re just trying our best to not get stabbed or jumped haha but other than that we’re doing great, just trying to soak up every day! But we’ll talk again next week, love yall so much! 🥰🥰🥰
