Elder Jared Hunt: Rancagua, Chile

Hey what's up guys? This week has been pretty crazy, because week 1 as a secretary is just the absolute worst haha. It started off with saying bye to the old missionaries and receiving the new ones. We got a nice 2 and a half hours of sleep and we had to make 2 long trips to the airport. Then we had a fun day at Santiago running around at the Colombian embassy I think, trying to make a missionary legal. And in the end his I.D. isn't even activated in Colombia, and that's just gonna be a huge mess for us, then we had mission council and they just made us set up everything, so we have been pretty dang busy haha. But the time is literally flying here. We've got some amazing people that we are teaching, and I'm sure we'll see some pretty amazing miracles for our sacrifices. Love you guys, have a dope week. heart, Elder Hunt

What's up guys? It's been a long time since I have written, but everything has been going great here in Rancagua. The time has just been absolutely flying here in the office, we're always doing something, so I am pretty tired and the bags underneath my eyes are looking pretty big and dark haha. But the coolest things that have happened to me here is, we were able to go to the temple in Santiago and we had the baptism of my boy Ignacio. He is a 19 year old barber from Argentina, and he is just such an awesome guy he loves the gospel and just wants to be an example to his family, and get them on the right path. And I know that there is no better choice that he could have taken than the one he took today to be baptized!! But my life is just great the mission is the best choice of my life and I'm just trying to take advantage of it everyday that I've got. Love you guys. Heart, Elder Hunt

What's up guys? Its been a pretty good week, and sorry for not writing this email a whole lot, just lots of times I don't have pictures so i decide to wait because I know that's the most important part for you guys. But update in the office, we work a ton hahha. Especially because my comp that is "training" me right now, he has only had one change before in the office as Secretary, so we are both just kind of winging it all the time haha. But I don't really remember the week a whole lot because we always have so much to do and so little time. But on the preaching side, we had one of the best lessons of my mission, we found these two Venezuelans who had just been through some of the hardest times of their lives trying to get here to Chile. They were so humble. We shared a classic, Ether 12:27, with them and they were blown away, and then the husband finished with a prayer and the wife was crying and it was just so spiritual, it just made my week. We don't ...

What's up guys? Sorry, it's really been a good minute since I've written my group email, but a ton has happened haha. So first off I'm the Secretary of the mission now, and I'm with my boy Elder Jensen, who's from my group and went to Skyline, and he's straight up so dope. We just mob in the mission van and we work on Visas and a lot more stuff but I just don't really know what I'm doing so I follow my comp around haha. But the Office is pretty dope, we don't sleep a whole lot and during the changes it's the worst. I got 4 hours of sleep in the mission van, and that's it, we were just carrying everyone from Santiago to Rancagua. It was rough, but after those first 3 days it was dope. So that's my new job, and I'll send some photos. I took a ton of photos but I'll have to send just a couple of when I left Doñihue, you make quite a bit of friends when you were there for 7 and a half months hahah. That's about all the update ...

What's up guys? This week has been pretty dope, and to start it all off Sury got baptized this last week, and her husband baptized her, because he got the Aaronic priesthood like 3 weeks ago, so we asked him if he wanted to do it and he was up for the challenge. I think it was one of the coolest things i have been able to see here in my mission! But it was the most stressful baptism i have had haha, we got there at 5 to fill up the font, but someone took out those D batteries of the heater(like the huge ones) so we had to run to the store and i had to drop 8 bucks on batteries and then we ran back and we started 30 minutes late. But then after the baptism as you can see in the photo, the idiot missionaries forgot to turn off the faucets to the baptismal font, so we had to help them clean up all the water that overflowed (there was like a solid inch). So we had a pretty good week. The photos: Baptism, we planted 3 pine trees, cleaning the font after it flooded, and Mario I hope...

Whats up guys? This has been a pretty wild week, but to start it off I got some big time news that I'm gonna be in Doñihue for another change. I'm gonna have 7 and a half months at the end. And I'm gonna be with my son another change, that's three changes with him. Well everyone just roasts me because Doñihue is really small, and no one has ever had more than 6 months there. Until now. I was a little sad at the beginning because it's gonna be hard to maintain the animo. But I know there's a reason I'm here again and I'm ready to go to work haha. But apart from that, it's been a pretty normal week. 1. My land lord was so hyped to wreck peru that he bought a full out lamb for 120 bucks. Then they got wrecked 3-0. W 2. My district 3.Me, with Elder Sorenson, and Elder Jimenez in a bus

Well, this week was a pretty dope week and I think one of the more exciting weeks you can have on the mish haha. But to start it all off it was actually a really normal week until friday, when our mission president gave his farewell to our zone and one other. It was such a strong spiritual experience, and he gave his testimony about how much the mission changes you, and I just want to testify of that as well. I've never been able to say I have my own testimony, and know the mission completely changes you for the best and I have a testimony for that!! The mission is the best! Then we had a baptism this last Saturday of Andhy! He's from cuba and has such a strong testimony. Like he drank almost every week and then we gave him the word of wisdom that he shouldn't drink and one week after he never drank again he's such a beast! In about a month he's gonna baptize his wife because she's a little behind with the stuff, so that'll be so cool. But thats been my week...
