Hola Familia,

Well it seems like you guys have had a great week up there in Alabama. I saw the 2 videos of the band concert! The music sounded super great! It seems like you guys are all nice and busy up there.

I don't have very much time to write you guys, but I'll give you guys a brief description of what's going on. Last Monday we went to the only amusement park in our mission! It was really awesome! There was a little zoo there and a bunch of cool rides. It was really fun and really helped unify the zone! It was sweet! I put lots of photos of cool flowers that exist in the jungle here in Peru and a bunch of animals. There are pictures of llamas and monkeys and lots of really awesome looking parrots. You should check it out! 

During the week we worked like normal, and finally we were able to help the man we're teaching accept a date for baptism for the 26th of this month. We're gonna work hard with him so that he keeps progressing. He's just about stopped drinking alcohol. He says that sometimes on Sunday he drinks, but he's not getting drunk, so that's the good thing. He used to get drunk 4 to 5 times a week. Now he only drinks on Sunday and doesn't get drunk! That is some huge progress. All of this progress is made possible through and ONLY through the atonement of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without him, we can't even get better, at anything. Thank you so much for your prayers, now pray harder, because Satan is going to attack extremely hard. Satan doesn't like when people start to follow Jesus Christ.

 During my study this week I read chapter 28 of 2 Nephi. It made me really think of the verses that are found in Moses were it talks about how Lucifer wanted to destroy the agency of man. When you read in chapter 28, you find out how he was going to destroy it. He wasn't going to FORCE us to obey, nor were we going to be robots programmed to follow the commandments, What Satan really was going to do is take away the consequences for sinning. Or in other words, you can sin and live a horrible life, and think you will be saved anyway. Look at the scripture mastery that's in that chapter.( It's at the bottom, I highlighted the parts where it talks about lucifer's plan to destroy the agency of man).

Well I'm out of time!

Love you guys a lot!
