06/10/22 Letter from Mission President -- Katie has arrived!

Dear Missionary Family,
 
This letter is to inform you that your missionary has arrived safely to Antofagasta. Sister Larsen and I are very grateful to be here to be able to serve with the missionaries in the work of the Lord. We know that you are concerned for their well-being and happiness here in the mission. Every one of these servants of the Lord is precious to us.
 
I have an interview with each Elder and Sister soon after their arrival. This is an opportunity to get to know them better and welcome them to Chile. These visits are important for every missionary as they are for me personally. Sister Larsen also welcomes each missionary with much love.
 
Preparation Day is every Monday. Your missionary will have the opportunity to communicate with you and your immediate family between 8:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Chilean time zone. The missionaries have the blessing to be able to communicate weekly with you. We encourage you to ask questions about their mission and allow them to share their testimonies and experiences. This positive communication will help you support them, and will be a blessing to you and your family.
 
We emphasize the communication according to “Missionary Standards for Disciples of Jesus Crist.” As the manual states, your missionary should only have conversations on Preparation Days. Your missionary can use whatever type of communication that works for your family, such as email, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc. Also, we encourage your missionary to call on Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Parents Birthdays. Other occasions need permission from President Larsen. Communication with other family and friends will only be used by email and letters.
 
If there’s an emergency and you need to speak with your missionary you can, communicate with the mission +56 9 5858 0966, or send an email 2012375@churchofjesuschrist.org. There is a mission Facebook page that we invite you to follow as well.
@ChileAntofagastaMission2019to2022. 
Packages and letters can be sent to:
Bellavista 4300
Antofagasta
Chile
 
Thank you for your support and prayers for your missionary. A mission is a wonderful opportunity for your son or daughter to strengthen their testimony and love for the savior, as they share his gospel with the humble people of Northern Chile.
 
Con amor,
President and Harmana Larsen

 Quote of the week: " For a p day I feel like I didn't get to do a lot of p-ing" - Katie St. George Airport, about 6 a.m.  waiting for flight Selfie -- sent Katie a good bye from Dad and Mom!!!! Early morning flight - heading out the front door! Hey mom, just wanted to let you know I made it... I also hate Mexican keyboards... things are in the wrong place!  It sounds like they're counting today as our p day... so i won't get to talk to you until a week from Thursday ughh. but it's ok. It's been a super long day-flights were lengthy but I met lots of cool people. I also was able to get to know some sisters in my district a little better. I can't wait to actually get into the work, this ccm seems like a lot of rules that aren't really a thing in the field.  For a p day I feel like I didn't get to do a lot of p-ing ! hahaha. Also, I would kill to be in non-fancy clothes. Buuuuuttttt it's fine. I hope you have had an amazing birthday and I...

  Hello friends and family and other people!!  Another week over and done with, and it's getting hotter every day here, and it's SO HUMID!!! And we walk all day everywhere we go so it's been... fun   Monday we had a milagro where we had planned to knock doors, but without even saying anything went straight to the park by the riverside, I turned to her and said... I feel like there's someone who needs us over here... and she said she felt the same so we talked to everyone in the park, and met this abuelita who's an inactive member, with her grandbaby and shared a little message with her. She told us she's felt the need to get closer to God for a while now!! Afterwards we went up to a pretty bridge and this crazy guy started talking to us about Joseph Smith, we both felt uncomfortable so we started backing away, and then he started chasing us, but he was clearly very under the influence of SOMETHING and tripped and couldn't follow us.  Tuesday we had a milagro...
