Hola Familia!

Well it seems like you guys just finished an extremely busy week and are now resting at home! So I went on Dropbox and saw all the photos of the baptism and Graduation! Whoo way to go! I'm extremely proud of all my brothers and sisters for the hard work that they put into their studies. Now enjoy your summer!

So, this week has been really awesome! We had 3 baptisms and they all went really well! I have photos, but the computer I'm using doesn't have a way so I can plug my camera in and upload them soooo.... I think you're just gonna have to wait till next week! But, they were really awesome and the spirit was felt really strong.

So right now we're working on marrying 3 families for this month or next month! They're really awesome and they want to get married and baptized in the Church. The only problem is that they need to get divorced or their birth certificate is really far away....yeah... so we're working on it! But this week I've really been able to feel the spirit stronger than I have before. I'm really enjoying the work and results that were getting.

So this last Wednesday we did a giant service as a zone, It was super awesome! My companion and I were in charge of making the curb of the street out of concrete! Here on the mission I've learned how to do tons of things. I'm really grateful for that! I'm gonna send you guys a photo through this email of it.


But yeah, other than that we're working hard and enjoying the mission!

Love you guys a ton!

Hola Familia!

Well it seems like things are starting to calm down up there in Alabama as your finishing school and starting summer break! I think it's crazy that you guys are already finishing school again and that Maddie is graduating tomorrow and Carter is going to be a Senior! That's super awesome and crazy!

So this week has been pretty crazy and awesome at the same time! I've put up some photos of what our area looks like and what we ate last P-Day. Right now we're teaching an awesome family of 5. The 3 children are going to get baptized this Saturday! We're extremely happy for their baptisms. It's going to be awesome! Please pray for this family and for the baptisms. Be looking forward to awesome photos of the baptism! The parents are working towards their baptism. They still need to do a few more things so that they can enter the waters of baptism. We're also teaching a lot of other people who are starting to progress! I hope we can guide them with help from the Spirit so that they can make good decisions and follow our Savior Jesus Christ.

This week should be really good! I got my package! It's super awesome! Thanks a ton! Whoo! I really like the ties. I've already gotten lots of compliments! Well that's really just about it! I'm enjoying the mission and I really love serving the Lord! Please pray for our investigators and less actives.

Love you guys!

Hola Familia!

Well, this week has been filled with tons of awesome, cool stuff! It seems like you guys are well and busy finishing up the school year in the states. Have fun entering summer break and remember to use your time wisely!!

So I'm in the biggest area in the mission! Its called Torre Blanca and its Super Awesome! It's a lot greener and there are lakes and rivers and farmland with cows and horses and really cool stuff! Get ready for photos because I'm gonna be taking a lot of them! My companion is Elder Huaman. He's from the Jungle and he's really short. Like the height of Lily, I think. He's 24 years old and he speaks a language that I don't understand. It's a language from his tribe called Shipibo. It sounds like a language from the jungle and it's super awesome! He speaks Spanish, but not too well, sooo....... I'm having to teach him a little bit of Spanish.

So we're working with a lot of awesome families that need to get married. We're going to have 3 baptisms on the 28th and 1 on the 10th of June. We're also finding lots of people to baptize recently. Soooo.... if everything goes well, we should have a lot of success this month and in June.

Well I'm excited and enjoying the mission a ton!
-Love you guys!
Whoo!! 21 years old!

Hola Familia!

Well, this week has really flown by! It seems like you guys have had a lot of fun up there in the States. Dollywood, historical sights and a bunch of other stuff. You guys have been really busy and that's okay, its a good thing to be busy. I think I've kinda gotten used to it here on the mission. All day I have too much stuff to do! haha!

Well down here in Lima things are starting to look a lot better. The month of April is a crazy month here in Peru. Now that were in May the only thing that's really going on are all the Cross Festivales. Its a Catholic Tradition here in Peru to make giant crosses and walk all around the city with musical bands and other stuff. It's really noisy. They only do it on Sunday though so its not too bad. Other than that, this last week has been great. We found a super awesome family to teach! There a family of 5 and they had already gone to church like 15 years ago, but for changes of missionaries they stopped going. Now they want to go to church again and be baptized! It's super awesome! We found them knocking doors, so I'm about 100% sure that it was a gift from God. I'm really grateful for that.

Well here in the Zone things are really looking great for May. We might be able to baptize up to 25 people! There are 5 Sundays this month so well see what we can do! I really hope everythings goes the Lord's way.

Other than that, I'm fine, excited to see you guys this coming Sunday on skype. I'll call you guys the night before to set up the appointment. I can't believe its the last video call. I also can't believe that I only have 3 months left on the mission. Time really flies. So your friend Mrs. Jones, you just need her to get to Carlos Izaguirre and its the Mormon church that's on the right hand side of a giant Red Store called Hiraoka. She'll need to go to the door farthest to the right side of the fence and church. There's an intercom system. She'll need to push the intercom on the LEFT side of the door. That's about all I can explain.

Okay love you guys a lot!
