semana 23/104


Wow so another change has come to an end. A change is when 6 weeks ends and we get calls to change companions.  I know that my current companion will leave because he has 4 changes in this area.  We get the calls tonight.

Nothing really exciting happened this week except for San Juan.  San Juan is a holiday where everyone makes juanies.  They are a chunk of chicken (like half the chicken) rice and egg wrapped in some giant leafs and cooked over an open flame.  They eat their juanies at the beach, drink a lot of beer with it, then they go playing in the water.  This holiday was yesterday and there was nobody in their houses.  I am pretty sure that all of Pucallpa was at the beach.

All I did this week was walk the dirt roads, sat down and taught a principle of the gospel with as many people who would listen. That is one thing that I have been doing different lately, teaching when people give me time. We found this one lady this week named Monica. Her mother passed away a month ago, so me and my companion shared the plan of salvation with her. It brought a lot of comfort to her because we taught her that families can be together forever. I can testify that that is true because just like Christ was resurrected we too will be resurrected with the same body that we have now.  The only difference will be that our bodies will be perfect, so there will be no more pain or debilities of any kind. 

I am loving my time here in Peru. I love teaching people about God and His son Jesus Christ and to see how the gospel of Christ has changed their life for the better. 

I know that God is our Father, He loves us and knows us personally.  I know that God sent his son Jesus Christ to redeem us from our sins and as we repent we can receive  unimaginable peace and happiness.

cuídense! (Take care)

este es un otro día en el paraiso

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...
