Todo el dia, cada dia

What a goof!

Hey familyation!!!!

How is everything doing out there in the great state of Utah!!!?? I hope everything is cool and good. Everything is going good here in the dirty, hilly, dusty, paradise that is Lima Peru. I would just like to explain to you guys the amount of dirt there is here, but seeing that there is a ridiculous amount of dirt, I will not be able to. But its a cool place. Just really dirty and really hot. Haha. 

But this week was a good one! Especially thanks to some awesome quotes from our beloved prophets!!! In these past weeks I have really been looking for ways to have more love and more charity for the people and serve them more. I searched the scriptures, PMG, and the modern day prophets. And I could find a lot of things that really helped me. But what helped me a lot was the last conference talk from Elder Holland "Aren't we all Beggars?". In that talk he talked about helping the poor and the needy all that we can. One thing that he said was "Although I may be my Brother's Keeper, I am my BROTHER'S BROTHER, and because I have been given much I too must give." Even though we aren't responsible for all the things that the people do we should at least love them and do what we can to help them serve them, and go that extra mile to serve our Brother. 

That was an awesome lesson I learned this week and well I also got your package mom! Thank you for the candy and talks!!!! I had already read the Fourth missionary like five times but I had never read The miracle of Mission and it was awesome. I loved it so much. I love how Jeffery R Holland talks about giving your all all day every day. Just like in sports, to succeed we have to give our all. 110%. And in the mission it is even more important. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL EVER DO. Explained Elder Holland. I do not want to waste a minute I have. I will admit, my body is tired and destroyed. The physical toll of a mission huge. But now I am on the last lap of the mile. My body is weak, my legs are aching, I can't breathe and everything is telling me to rest up a little, slow down, it's okay if you're second or third place, you still get on the podium. The gold is my goal. Strong until the End! 

I am loving my mission right now. A little stressful at limes but it is fun and I am happy. Just a tired happy man. 

Thanks for all your love and support and everything you do to motivate me and keep me going!!! 

I love you all!!!!! Keep strong until the end!!!!!
