Dear family and friends,
I am sorry for not
writing last week, but for any of you that have served a mission, you know some
weeks things are tough and you run out of time on P-Day. This week has been
much better. We were able to see the
hand of God in our work and we have a very big teaching pool. I will be taking
care of that teaching pool with my new companion Elder Williams. I love this
young missionary and am so excited to serve with him. Elder Larson (my favorite
companion) trained him.
We had two baptisms
this week and I am very grateful for God giving them to us. They were interviewed
and we had a beautiful baptism for the mother and son and the dad should be
baptized soon.
Transfers happened
this week and they are taking one group of elders out of my district and
putting sisters in, so that means no car for us. We still don’t have bike seats and I am running
every morning so my legs are getting pretty swole. (Gotta love Harrison’s
descriptions)
I have been studying a
talk by Neil A Maxwell called Swallowed up in the Will of the Father. He talked about the many different types of
missionaries. There are honorable missionaries, which are good hard working
missionaries who do what they are told and follow the rules and are remembered.
But I want to come home not as an honorable fulltime missionary but as a Valiant
full time missionary, one who has put away his sins of omission and focused on
leaving people with impacted hearts, not just " Oh, Elder Chacon, I liked
him or he was funny”. I want to be remembered
by how I served. I want to give it my
absolute ALL. I want to have the spirit
with my always so I can leave others with my witness that God lives and that
Jesus Christ is our Savior.
I love the work, I
love the people, and I love you.
Elder Chacon
