Semana 34 - MI COMPAÑERO SE CAYÓ - My Companion Fell


So my comp fell off a super sketchy bridge!

We were walking along this bridge that really was only as big as a 2 x 6.  We were walking on this bridge because we saw a community that was all on stilts.  In the middle of this bridge a part of the bridge had broken so we were looking around to find another way to get to this community.  Out of nowhere my comp fell like 7 feet to where the ground was. Yes I did laugh before helping him. It took 15 min to find a way for him to get back on the bridge. 

The members in my area are literally  the  best.  This week my comp was sick as well so the members really helped us out by one member staying with my comp and another going out to teach with me.
I have some investigators named Zulema and Cinthia that are getting baptised this Saturday.  Wow they love Christ and His church!   They are so ready to be baptised.  I also heard this week that 3 people I left in Pucallpa got baptised this past Saturday.  I feel very blessed and happy that I started their path to baptism while I was there.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to listen to one of the 12 living apostles of Jesus Christ.  The thing that impacted me the most was that he said " if you haven't been offended yet for being a member of the church , you haven't been a member long enough".  That helped me to understand more clearly whose church this really is.  It's the church of Jesus Christ; in the way He originally established it.  Every time someone says something about me being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints I know I'm in the true church because Satan only fights against the true. 

I know this is the true church of Christ and that He leads this church through his prophet Russell M. Nelson. 

este es un otro día en 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...
