Semana 30: La Isla De La Selva (Island of the Jungle)


So I left the desert of the jungle,

I left Pucallpa this past week and wow it was a lot hotter in Pucallpa than it is in Iquitos. The area I have right now is super small compared to my last one. In this area I can walk to whatever part in 10-15, in my other area I had to walk half an hour just to get to the middle of it!!! 

I feel like my companion and I can do a lot of good in this area because we are 2 people who want to do the work of the lord with all our heart might mind and strength. My companion now is Elder Jacobson... another gringo.  That's fine he's awesome.

The internet here in Iquitos is a bit better so I can send a lot more pictures.

The people here in my area are awesome!  Right now we have about 6 people ready for baptism for this month and I feel like we can baptize a lot more if we are together for a long time. I hope we are!!
Everything is going great here in the jungles of Perú. 

cuídese todos!! (Take care of yourself)

este es un otro día en el paraiso (This is another day in paradise)

Elder Porowski

 Not sure what this is but it sure has him enraptured!!

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...
