Oh sed prudentes, que más puedo decir? O Be Wise, who can say?

Two different views of Elder McIff's new area.  I like the one at night better.

How are you guys?? I know that you are doing greeaaaaattttt!!! (tony the tiger style) Hows the home, the dog, the garage, my car, my sisters, my cousins, my friends? I know that they are all doing fantastic. I am so happy to talk to you guys today!!! This week has been a pretty good week! 

This week I have really been focusing in on the spirit and obedience. Opening an area you need to rely on the spirit and rely on the tender mercies of the Lord. We have had some pretty cool experiences this week with just walking blind and trusting in the Lord to guide where we needed to go. On friday we decided to go to a part of our area that is super far away and super high up in the mountains. But I knew that we needed to go to that area. So we walked, and walked, and walked, until we got to the area where the Lord had indicated. 

And from there we started knocking doors and climbing more hills looking for people. And then we saw a lady on the other side of the hill cleaning her house, and my comp said " Hey! let's go talk with her." So we went over and started talking with her and right away she called us Elders (never happens by the way) and told us to come into her house. We ask her how she knew we were called Elders and she said " Oh, I'm a member." When she said that wow, I almost lost it. It turns out that she moved here to Lima from the jungle and know she is living here with her NINE children and husband. Only a few of her kids are baptized and her husband no and she promised to come to church next week. Coolest thing ever. In a place that reminds me a lot of the hills in Lord of the Rings with Frodo and Sam, the Lord guided us to a family that truly needed to her the word of the Lord and needed to be saved. I am so grateful for that. So so grateful. And we continue to have experiences like that everyday.

I have been striving so hard to recieve the Holy Ghost and to recieve revelation to know where to go and who to teach. It takes all my diligence, faith, and obedience to recieve those blessings. I am so grateful to the Lord. And I am trying to teach these same priciples to my companion, but he is a little rebellious and he is a little hard to convince, but I know that he will realize the importance of these things. I know that the Holy Ghost will guide me in what I should do and will tell me everything I should do. If I am obedient. D&C 130:20-21

I know that God lives and I know that he loves me and wants me to return to his presence. I know that he will help me to do whatever he expects of me because he loves me and he loves his children.

I love you guys so much and I can't wait to hear from you again!!!!

Keep on Keepin on

Poco a Poco

Con MUCHO AMOR
