Hola Familia!

Well, it seems like there's a lot of changes going on in the ward. That's really awesome that Brother Tuck is now Bishop Tuck and that a bunch of other stuff is happening in the ward. I know that these people have been called of God to have these callings in his Kingdom! Listen to what the have to say and you will be blessed.

It's cool to hear that you guys are doing so much stuff up there in Alabama! Scout camp, high adventure and more! That's really awesome! I bet the house looks absolutely amazing because of all the projects that you guys have been doing!

So down here in Lima everything is going awesome! We have a baptism for the 9th of July! We found a really cool older man named Gabriel. He's really awesome and wants to get baptized! We are also teaching a few other people who have gone to church, but because of marriage, divorce, or parental permission they aren't ready to be baptized yet, but things are coming along. I think the marriages will be ready for July and they'll be able to get baptized as I end the mission.

Well other than that I'm okay, I'm not sick, and I'm really enjoying the mission!
Love you guys a ton!

Hola Familia!

Well it seems like you guys are having a great time up there in Alabama. Youth Conference, Scout Camp and a bunch of other fun exciting things! That's really awesome! Well I'm gonna keep this email short because I really don't have too much to say.

So today in the mission there are transfers, but my companion and I don't have transfers, so I'll be with Elder Huaman for my last transfer here on the mission. I really can not believe that my last transfer is here.... They go by so fast and I'm in my last one. Well just more motive to work as hard as I can and leave everything on the field.

Down here in Lima everything is going awesome! We had some new investigators go to church yesterday and they really liked it! This week our goal is to invite them to be baptized and accept a baptismal date. We're gonna do it! This Wednesday we're going to start the divorce process with that families that need it so they can get married to their new spouse. It takes about a month, so maybe they'll get baptized before I head out. Well other than that, everything is going super great!

Love you guys a lot!

Hola Familia,

Well it seems like you guys are quite busy up there in Alabama. It's sad to hear that the Jensens are moving. Well that's awesome that you were able to register me for classes! I would definitely like to take the CS-124. So that I can refresh and dominate those skills in C++. I took those classes almost 5 years ago. I would like to take them again. Also I would definitely love to minor in Spanish. If I only need 10 hours more it would be really easy. Well this week I don't have very much time to write but I'll try to at least to update you guys on what's happening down here in Peru.

This last week went really well. We had an amazing opportunity to listen to the words of an Apostle of Jesus Christ! It was really awesome! I learned a ton of new things and his talk helped fortify my testimony in the Lord Jesus Christ and what he wants us to do as missionaries. I know that Elder Rasband is a special witness of Jesus Christ, an Apostle of the Lord. He talked a ton about being an example and having Charity towards one another. It was amazing.

Well, we have a really cool teenage boy who is progressing and 3 other families that went to church this last Sunday. They need to get married so thats a looooooooooooong process, but were gonna do all that we can! It's moving along really well and I hope that we can get them married in July! It would be an amazing way to finish my mission. Also the teenage boy has a goal to get baptized on the 25th! Please pray for them!

Well, other than that, there's not much else to write about. My companion is doing really well in his Spanish, he speak almost normal now. I think in 6 weeks he'll be just fine.

Oh, i put 2 picture up on dropbox. This is a food called Tokush. It's called bad potato. Look it up on youtube. Im sure theres tons of videos. We had to eat it.




Love you guys!.

Hola Familia!

Well it seems like you guys are having a great Summer Break up there in Alabama! Don't waste a second of it!

This week has been a pretty good week down here in Lima Peru. Right now we're working with some really amazing families and people. A lot of the families that we're teaching need to get married and they're getting really excited to do it this month or next month! We also are teaching a few teenagers and young single adults the gospel and they're starting to progress. So please pray for them!

Well this week was a bit special because we didn't have Church this Sunday! This last week the country had the elections for President of Peru and they vote on Sunday. If they don't vote they get fined so church was canceled. We wanted our investigators to go to something related to church so on Saturday night we watched Meet the Mormons with the investigators. It was really awesome! I think it really helps investigators to see the mormon culture and the traditions that we have as members of the Church. I really liked it!

So this week is going to be really awesome! This Friday the new Apostle Elder Rasband is going to come and train us! It's going to be really awesome! I'm really looking forward to the chance to listen and hear the words of a special witness of Christ. I'm sure I'll have tons to tell you guys next week, but other than that, everything is going great. I'm healthy and really excited to work work work and work!!.

Love you guys!

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!
