Well I just want to know how everybody is doing this week!!! I am just so happy that everyone is fine and having a great time in Utah!
Well as I was reading the letter that mom sent me I was thinking, crap, I practically have a year in the mission (three days) and I thought, WHAT THE HECK???? I HAVE BEEN IN PERU FOR YEAR????? It is super weird. It doesn't feel like it at all. It doesn't feel like I have been a missionary for a year or have the experience to show it. It is super crazy. But as it says in the title IT IS ONLY BEGINNING. I have been trained, I have mastered the language, and now it is time to give it all, be the best missionary I can be. It is time to prove myself to the Lord and make him proud of His son.
This week again we have really seen the blessings of the Lord. We have found a lot of new people to teach and we are finding a bunch of less actives that are ready to come back to church and back to the path.
One cool story from this week. We were walking down the street and there are always people sitting on the side of the street drinking or just with their friends. And a lot of times they yell Elders!!! And we just wave and talk with the people but yesterday a man called out and we went over and talked with him and his wife. It turns out that he has been a member of the church for like 12 years and he was just looking for a reason to come back and he saw us and just decided to talk to us and he told us that he wanted to come back to the church but he didn't know how but he saw us and said you know what I am gonna talk to them and they are gonna help me come back. And his wife was really interested as well and so we are super excited now.
We have a bunch of plans for October. We are hoping that three families that we are teaching can get married and baptized in October. A cool thing the mission is doing now is that they are working with the government to set up group weddings every month so that more and more families can get married and start following the gospel.
We also have planned three baptisms for this month! On 19th three kids are going to be baptized that who are children of a less active family and then on the 29th the mom of our convert Eduardo is going to be baptized finally after like five months of investigating. It is going to be awesome!!!! I am really happy to be in this ward and to be working so hard here!!! I am really having a great time here in the mission even though my companion stresses me out and the weather here is really really really ugly. Haha I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!
And I got your Package mom!!!! Thank you so much!! That is the coolest thing ever!!! Super duper trunky though!!! All that BYU stuff killed me!!!!! But I will tell you I haven't eaten any of the candy or read the letters yet. I am waiting until Thursday. Haha. But I did start using the music because the mission put in a rule that we can't listen to EFY music now so I am really happy that you sent me those MO TAB CDS and the Janice Kapp Perry CD! That is super duper cool. and its awesome because we can basically only listen to MOTAB and Janice Kapp Perry now so thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for all your support and all the awesome stuff you do for me!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Keep on keepin on!!!!
Poco a poco
Con mucho mucho MUCHO amor
