Drunk Guy

By Elder Zach Seager -

Yew what up boys! How's life back in the States?  I miss that place so freaking much! I just want to give a huge shout out to the military and our veterans out there who have served our country. They are bad a$$ and ! will forever be thankful to them for protecting America and keeping it so sexy! I hope my family is having fun in Lake Powell this week while I'm out here in Chile with dogs trying to bite me and stepping in dog poop on the side walk 24-9. hahahah

This week was a banger! We had so many lessons with recent converts and less active people in the ward.  We also went to the temple with two recent converts to do baptisms for the dead -so that was cool to see them get pitted for their ancestors! 

I was meditating the other day and remembered how the boys and I would have the best talks ever on the ski chair lifts. I miss those 10 minute talks with some of my best friends that I trust with all my life....then to go rip the freaking shizzzz out of some deep pow pow baby! I can't wait to get back on the chairlift and talk to the boys!  

The people and culture here are kind of crazy.  I don't really mess with it too much.  They don't treat their wife's that well and they discriminate against black people and people from Venezuela. It pisses me off because the black people and the Venezuelans work three times harder than the Chileans!  Another weird thing they do here is with funeral processions.  They drive in a line honking their horns and never break from the line.  If there is a red light they just go through it. One thing I do like is their families are very close.  They all love there families very much! This next Monday we have changes, so I'm getting excited for that.  I think I will get a new companion because my companion has been here for six months and I have been with him for three. I bet I'll get a new companion and I am hoping for a Latino so my Spanish will get better!  I am always trying to stay out of my comfort zone and learn and more pursue more in life!

We also had interviews with our Mission President yesterday.  That was fun and he gave me so much good advice.  He's so dope.  I love that man. He said if you have a problem with your companion tell him so he can try and fix it and he will recognize the problem as well and then you both can work better together

This week we taught a guy that we have been trying to help for three months with the word of wisdom.  He was drunk with his buddy during the lesson.and all they wanted to talk about was how cool Morgan Freeman is.  hahaha It was funny, but then I said we had to leave because we had another lesson that night and he got really pissed off like angry drunk.  We went to shake his hand and he went to square up on me and my companion. We just started laughing and left. Tomorrow we are going to call him and see if he remembers anything and go teach him again and help him with his drinking problem.  

We also found a guy to teach from NY who is originally from Venezuela.  He has just opened up a New York Pizza Shop in his house so he gave us some pizza and we helped him make some.  He is really funny.  I love him!  His name is Polly.  Such a good guy!  He loves us because we are the only people in Chile that he knows that speak English.  So, I think we will start buying pizza a lot now!  hahaha It is so good!   

Favorite quote of the week:
Walt Disney  - Here is the world of imagination, hopes and dreams.  in this timeless land of enchantment, the age of chivalry, magic and make-believe are reborn - and fairy tales come true.  Fantasyland is dedicated to the young-in-heart, to those who that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true 

Yew hope you guys are having a good week! :Love you guys more than you think! I just hit 4 months in the mission which is crazy!!! 


Read these this week:
Alma 30:44
Jacob 5
John 10
Isaiah 40:31 eagles baby!

La Actitud Es Todo!

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...

Hump Day and Liv's Birthday!

This last year has been crazy with some of the best moments of my life and some of the hardest / worst moments of my life!  Here's what I have learned this past year: God answers prayers! If we read, pray, listen to the holy ghost, and write down our feelings, God will answer our prayers! The gospel brings joy and happiness in our lives. The Book of Mormon is true and blesses our lives! I've read the Book of Mormon twice since I've been out here on my mission. It's so much more fun and easier to read than the New Testament and the Old Testament. The Book of Mormon keeps the doctrine so simple and makes it so everyone can understand it!  Joseph Smith was a true prophet! I have had the chance over the past year to teach a lot of Lesson 1 which is the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ! It's been crazy because there's one point in there that talks about how Joseph Smith saw Jesus Christ and God. Every time we share it, the Spirit fills the roo...

Loving it ...

My companion and I taught Priesthood this week.  We taught from the book Christ's Ideals for Living on the attributes of Christ.  That book is awesome.  We taught about 65 elders and it went well I think.  My companion was sick this past week and I was able to give him a blessing. He got feeling better the next day.  It was super dope. I love Alma 38.  If you get a chance go read it and replace the name son with your name.   It's the best. I am loving it here.  I love the Mexican people, the noises at night - haha - gun shots, fireworks and dogs barking all the time.  There is nothing better!  I only have about 3 weeks left here.  It is going fast.   Below is a picture of me with the head chef Estabon.  He is such a freaking bro!   #godsarmyletsgo Elder Seager
