Semana 50 - YA SOY VIEJO (I Am Old)


viejo = old. specifically old man. ahora como hemos pasado la fecha 10 de enero 2019 he estado en Perú por 1 año. en un año aprendí muchas cosas. uno de ellas siendo español. y esta semana voy escribirles en español, espero que  google translate puede ayudarles a entender mi correo esta semana. esta semana cumplí 1 año en la misión y siento muy viejo, y como veo el tiempo que ha pasado doy cuenta que el señor me ha ayudado muchísimo en este tiempo no solo con el idioma pero con mi conversión personal. la manera que celebré mi 1 año en la misión fue con pizza y coa cola, la manera que cada misionero celebra algo aquí en la selva. una experiencia que tuve en la semana fue que cuando yo y mi compañero regresamos a una casa la persona nos dijo que no quiere hablar con nosotros porque ella se bautizó adventista y ella obedece al pastor y cree en dios, fue algo raro para nosotros esta semana.

cuídense todos

un otro día en paraíso

Elder Porowski


Old = old.  Specifically old man. Now as we have passed the date of January 10, 2019I have been in Peru for 1 year.  In a year a learned many things.  One of them being Spanish, and this week I am writing to you in Spanish.  I hope Google translate can help you understand my mail this week. 

This week I finished 1 year in the mission field and I feel very old.  As I see the time has passed I realize that the Lord has helped me a lot in this time, not only with the language but with my personal conversion.

The way I celebrated my 1 year in the mission was with pizza and coca cola, the way each missionary celebrates something in the jungle. 

An experience that I had during the week was when I and my companion returned to a house a person told us he does not want to talk to us because she was baptized Adventist and obeys the pastor and believes in God.  It was something weird for us this week.

Take care everyone

Another day in paradise.

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...
