David Peru Mission

This week with Elder Pedraza was awesome! We found a nice balance of finding new people and teaching the people that we have been teaching for a while.  Also a general authority came to the mission and taught us how we can be better missionaries.   It was great to hear from him and how we can get better to help more people come unto Christ and to experience the joy that the true gospel of Jesus Christ brings to peoples lives.  I love being here in Peru, teaching people about Jesus Christ.  We're helping them change their lives for the better, to find a peace and love that lasts for the eternities.  There are ups and downs to teaching these people.  Those that I have seen progress  are more happy and those that exercise their faith by: 1 reading the scriptures 2 praying constantly and 3 attending church.  I know that any person that follows these 3 principles will start to see the blessings.  That God gives you more ...

So this week we had changes. This week I got a new companion, his name is Elder Pedraza.  He is from Peru.  This week we were working super hard and found a lot of good people that we are going to start teaching next week. I'm super excited to work with him.  I feel like we can work miracles in this area. Also my companion is super old, he is 26 years old.  I live in a house with 3 people that are 26 and me at 19 years old.  But it's fun. Last week I made pancakes.  I thought they were terrible but the others that ate my pancakes said they were really good, so that's good.  The funny part about making the pancakes was that my pencionisata didn't have measuring cups so I literally took a cup to measure everything.  That was fun.  This week with my companion we were super direct with the people we met so they understood that we were there to help them get baptized, because no one can enter into the kingdom of God without being bap...

esta semana, una semana más que era super difícil porque todas las personas con quienes fijábamos citas no estaban en sus casas. pero unos de mis líderes me ayudó mucho en reconocer que por las pequeñas cosas que hacemos puede ser un grand diferencia en la vida de alguien. esta semana fue muy calor. Elder Porowski This week, another week that was very difficult because all the people with whom we had scheduled appointments were not home.  Some of my leaders helped me a lot in recognizing that the small things we do can make a big difference in someone's life. This week was very hot!

Lots of things have happened in the last week!   It has been super crazy as the prophet and the 12 apostles gave permission to all the missionaries in the world to talk with their families every week through phone calls and skype.  It was for that reason I didn't write last week.  This week I found a family that is super awesome. I'll tell you more about them next week as I'm out of time. Elder Porowski

There was nothing to post as it was the Monday following the announcement that missionaries could contact home every week/as needed.  We enjoyed skyping with David as it was Family Day and we were all home!!!
