Week 17/104


Happy Mother's Day,

This week I was looking forward to skyping with my family on Mother's Day. It was a great to see their faces after 4 months. Hope everyone did something nice for Mother's Day.

So things that happened this week were: 
     1. On Tuesday a stray kitten wandered into our apartment and chilled for the morning. We had to put it back outside because as missionaries we cant keep pets. 
      2. I tried mate this week.  It's this herbal tea thing, I don't really know how to describe it but I know that depending on who you ask it either tastes like dirt or not like dirt. I thought it tasted pretty good, but the person who gave it to me did put a bunch of sugar in it, pero esta bien (but it's ok). 
     3. I also figured out that there is a highway that goes through the town of Pucallpa, where I am currently, all the way to Lima. I thought that was pretty cool. 
     4. This week for missionary work my companion and I knocked doors to find new people.   We found a couple families to teach. One family is really humble and open to our message and want to hear more. The other family has had things happen in their life that have prompted them to go to church and be more spiritual. It was really great to find these families; they are truly sent by God. 

One Christ like attribute that I have been thinking about this week is humility.  The Savior was humble and His whole life was centered in doing the will of the father.

I hope everyone has a great week and is in good spirits.

este es un otro día en el paraíso This is another day in paradise.


cuídese todo  Take care of everything.

Semana #83 - WHACK

Today is changes and Elder Meeks and I are staying 1 more change together.  On Tuesday the area doctor came to Pucallpa to give us a training on how to stay healthy in the mission and in the real world.  It was a great training. The funny thing was I got really sick right before the whole thing. Also this week we had to help a lot of other missionaries so that took out time from out teaching hours.  A couple companionship's had to move houses this week so we helped them move.  It was fun.  Now this week there are a couple areas that need to move and haven't found a house so Elder Meeks and I have to help them look because its been 2 weeks and they haven't found anything.  It will be fun to  go house hunting this coming week. The biggest thing that I'm excited for this week is GENERAL CONFERENCE.   It's always a huge blessing to be able to listen to the prophets' voice and from the 12 apostles.  I know they are called of God...

Semana #84 - GIVE

So this week was general conference it was absolutely amazing!!   I loved listening to the apostles and the prophet. This week we also had to spend a whole day in Campo Verde to look for a house for the elders there.   It was a long day but we finally found a house and it looks really nice.  Campo Verde is the area in my zone that is very far away, it's 30 min in car, (that's really far for us). We also had to receive a bunch of missionaries that came to our zone.  The funny thing was that the airline that was always used - closed down the day before the whole mission took flights for their changes.  That was something big that happened and the personal secretary had to figure out.  Well as always love you all and I really hope that you can take the time to listen to some inspired talks from general conference. I know that they can help you change your life to be closer to God and in the end be happier. una semana mas...

Semana #85 - A

So this week was full of things to do. Really the only normal days I had this week were Monday and Tuesday.  On Wednesday I flew to Iquitos for our leadership conference. We had our announcement meeting and in the middle of it it started to rain really hard so we went inside of the mission home.  It's a very nice house, and we continued until the power went out.  Then we went home early because there was no power to continue the meeting.  On Thursday we had our counsel as leaders.   We talked about the powers of the Book of Mormon and how it can literally help us solve our problems that we have in our lives.  We talked about the  DEVASTATING sin of pride, we read the talk by Ezra Taft Benson, "Beware of Pride".  I encourage all of you to read it. Then on Friday we went back to Pucallpa and as we got home we had to take a 30 min car ride to Campo Verde to do a baptismal interview for them (the elders).  It was...
