Apr 20~ FFFFFFFUANUCO!!!

Hey Everyone! 

This week was pretty solid! Went by way fast! I dont think I have every been this tired in my life though! Last Pday was awesome! We went up to some huge field and played soccer and football and are doing the same thing again today! Also, we went and got some burgers and frozen yogurt for my Bday last week! There is like some random huge frozen yogurt store in the middle of my area, its called "Blueberry" and is way good!

As for the area, like half of my area is on this super steep mountain side, which is sweet, but very tiring, and the other half is like flat. Peru is awesome though! Hope you all have a great week!

We have our stake conference this week and will be having Pres Henderson come and someone from the 70 as well! And uhh we are struggling a bit with the investigators! We are contacting a ton to try to find new ones, not that much help from the ward! Kinda rough! But we are taking our bishop out to dinner to talk! (in the Us its the other way around!) yea, i have just been so tired lately Serio0usly!!!!!!!! SUper tired! Like Im falling asleep in 3-4 seconds or if i sit down i start shutting my eyes! SO if you guys could keep me in your prayers just to have ENERGY that'd be great, Thanks!

Apr 13~ Twenty!

Whats up everyone! 

Wow, well first off i cant believe I am 20 now! Viejo! Thank you all for the Birthday wishes! It was probably one of the best birthday yet just being able to focus on the Lord all day and serving others! I am super excited for the next year I have to be here in the mish! 

We have a couple solid investigators but more than anyone, this 17 year old kid named Mel. He is way chill! He is super ready to get baptized this Saturday, but his father will not sign his baptismal permission.We had a super intense lesson with him last night (the father), which was way guided by the Spirit. it consisted of me and my companion talking things out with him, and then calling him to repentance because he will not let his son be baptized. So we will find out his answer in a couple of days.

Anyways, my message for you all this week is that God loves you, and I love you all! Thanks for the support!

April 6~ Easter

Amigos y familia! 

Hey hope you all had a fantastic Pascua! (Easter in Spanish) and had some time to reflect on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It was fun spending it here in Peru! Also, hope you all loved General Conference. It is awesome knowing we have Prophets and Apostles that speak for God in these days! What a blessing!

Ive had a lot of time to just stop and reflect on the significance of the Savior in my life, but the important and crucial role the Savior has in the Plan of Salvation, and in my day to day life. I know without a doubt, the Savior Wants to have a relationship with us. He wants to heal us when we are spiritually wounded, and he wants to lift us up, when we are down. Its all because he loves us, and more than anything because our Heavenly Father loves us, and wants us to return to his presence. I know without a doubt, the tomb is empty, and the Savior lives, loves us, and wants to help us daily. We just need to open the door and let Him in!

Love you all!

Feliz Pascua! Bueno, seria un gusto a darles mi testimonio en espanol.

Primeramente, se que dios es nuestro padre celestial, el nos ama y nos conoce perfectamente. El tiene un plan para cada uno de nosotros. El tiene este plan porque el quiere que nos. tengamos todas las bendiciones que el ya  tiene. se que jesucristo es mi salvador y redentor, y el sufrió y murió, y también fue preparado antes de venir, para expiar por nosotros. el no solamente expió por nuestros pecados, pero también por nuestros dolores, desafíos, tribulaciones, para que el nos pudiera socorrer y darnos el poder necesario para seguir adelante y para poder sobre llevarnos las cargas de esta vida. Yo siento, y se esta coas por mi propia experiencia pero tambien por haber estudiado el libro de mormom. se que este libro es verdadero, y jose smith fue el profeta de dios que lo trandujo para nuestros tiempos. Estoy muy agradecido por la restauración , esa es la mejor manifestation del amor de dios en estos días. se que tenemos un profeta viviente, Thomas S Monson. el nos guia y habla por dios. Se que las familias pueden ser eternas gracias a la restauración del sacerdocio. Estoy aqui en la misión para predicar estas cosas que yo se. Se que esta es la iglesia verdadera, y que yo soy un siervo, y representante de mi Senor Jesucristo. El saber que yo estoy aquí por el, me da una felicidad duradera. Este testimonio que yo tengo, me da una felicidad duradera. En el nombre de Jesu Cristo amen.
