Elder Zach Seager

This week was good, but we are having trouble finding people to teach.  Last Saturday we had four baptisms scheduled, but only one went through.  It was so cool though to see Carlos get baptized.  After coming out of the water, he looked so happy!  I've been reading the Book of Mormon again and it helps me find peace in my day no matter how bad the day is going.  I'm in Jacob 5 right now and I'm loving it.  It might be one of my favorite chapters of the whole Book of Mormon!  I have been really thinking this week how I can be like the good Samaritan and help people that might need it! There is always someone around us who needs help like someone at your work, school, or someone on the street. My dad reminds me of the good Samaritan.  He is always willing to drop whatever he is doing to help someone.  It's funny every time there is a dog on the street lost in Utah, my dad takes it back to our house and calls the owner.  Most of the t...

Attitude is everything!  Today was awesome! I played soccer and was able to see Elder Chase Ebeling!  So great!   This week was really good. It is frustrating you can't go knock on doors to talk to people and yelling through the gates gets old.  We kept at it all week and were able to talk to a man who was interested in reading the Book of Mormon and also talked to another man on the bus.   The man on the bus knew very little about missionaries other than we were nice to everyone. He wanted to read the Book of Mormon so we gave him one and referred him to missionaries in his area. We had a baptism on Saturday for this dope 13 year old boy who already knows so much about the church.  I confirmed him on Sunday in Sacrament Meeting in my broken Spanish.  He was so happy and understood what I said so it all worked out.   I kept thinking this week about the time that our family took food and supplies to the African refuge...

I made it to Chile!  I'm working hard on Spanish so I can talk to people.  The food here is great and the members take good care of us.  I've been to the temple twice since I have been here.  All of the houses have big fences and gates around them so you can't just go knock on doors.  We have to yell in through the gates to see if anyone is home and if they want to talk to us.  Also there are lots of stray dogs.  We are working with a great kid that is planning on getting baptized.  I am excited for him!  I will share more next week. Here's my favorite fly fishing patience quote that has helped me -  "Fly fishing patience is like this - the ability to accept long periods of failure while remaining optimistic about the possibility of eventual success."   I've included a picture of me with my mission president and his wife and some of the elders in front of the temple. Have a great week. #godsarmyletsgo Eld...
