yoooooooo mis padres! como estamos? les extraño mucho! ahora esta
empezando su rutina por la verano! estoy muy celoso que estan alli pero esta
bien! kyle is at football camp, darn that is why he didn't write me... i am
going to write him a letter for him when he gets back to read! how is the
weather in cali? alot of my missionary friends want to come down to carlsbad and
hang out already hahahaha... our district is awesome! elder crouch is from az...
from chandler... we have become really good friends! its crazy the change that
the president and the lord have put alot of power in our district... we worked
really hard to gain the unity and trust of each other... i believe that this
next change that will start tomorrow, we will see some amazing things. i am not
going to lie but the missionaries dad think you are awesome! its great! it just
makes me more happy each and everyday for the family and the parents that i
have. glad that things are going well at work! this is always good! and really?
no good movies have come out lately? what a shame... and ever more of a shame
about the small waves... but any day is a fun day out on the orange whale!
hahahaha.. i am extremely jealous because right now i have no shoulders ;( its
very sad i have definitely lost alot of my muscle... makes me sad. but i will
fix it when i get back out on my board. and dad that is a classic story with the
scuba diver... it makes me remember the time i was surfing with you, kurtis, and
his dad and my and kurtis were sitting inside of the pack and a dolphin with a
fin that looked like a shark came up right in between us and we screamed like
little girls around everyone... hahahaha great memories. did you guys no
participate in the tri?? the working is really improving... it was hard because
my companion rolled his ankle really good and could hardly walk...but not it is
better... we have gotten to a level of great unity where were we are reading
each others minds.... cool story this week.. we were teaching a single mother
and her daughter who are getting baptized this week. we were talking about
baptism to help them really understand it... when my companion finished
talking... i started sharing things that were coming to my mind and heart.
after the lesson my companion told me that what i was saying is exactly what he
wanted to say but he didn't need to say it because i had already said it... its
great to see that we are arriving at a level of unity in our companionship that
i believe will help us make miracles because it all depends on how well you get
along with your companion. not to mention my companion is known for baptizing
so real soon we shall make so damage and history in the mission... I'm really
excited and hope everything goes well. just got to stay humble and confident.
i feel like i am always having problems with my stomach... i always feel
stomach pain... not strong at all and its only every once in awhile but that is
about it... i believe that it is the food. still not used to it. but no i have
been badly sick for awhile...knock on wood! hahahaha... we have one investigator
who we are waiting for to be able to baptize his family... its a family of 3...
he being the father and we don't want to baptize the famlily with out the father
being the first one to enter into the water ... it has been crazy his
progress... he didnt want to talk to us at all... now he has been to church 3
times and is asking us alot of questions and his date for baptism is the second
of august... i am stoked... he is doing great.. he still has doubts but i
believe he will get baptized.... we also have another father that we found that
his wife is less active and his son we reactivated who has 19 years of age who
is now going out and teaching with us and is starting his mission papers... his
dad accepted to be baptized if he receives an answer to his prayer. and i know
he will if he asks with a sincere heart. we have a family that is already ready
to get baptized... but just when all the paper work was arriving... he had to
leave to go work in chiclayo which is like 9 hours away for 2 months... fricking
satanas.... but he is coming back in the end of august and is going to church up
there and his family is coming to church here... its a family of 4 as well. we
have some ofther people that we are teaching and we hope to find more families
to teach because it is our goal to baptize families weekly and we really believe
that we can get it done... i am loving living here in the dunes of peru... the
ward is awesome like always... beautiful building... i am getting real good at
soccer... like every pday i look forward to playing... no i havent read jesus is
the christ but i will... the mission in a couple of months is loosing alot of
leaders and great missionaries... i will not be surprised to be called a leader
soon. need to prepare myself more but excited to see what will happen... my
mission president is the shiz... i promise you that he will be part of the 70...
he is crazy...anyways, i am loving the work and everything that is going on
here... the other day i had to give a lesson with my companion of the
restoration in front of 50 people... i was so nervous... but it was a great
lesson and the spirit was strong... love being a missionary.... i still cant
believe that today i now have 11 months.,... the time seriously needs to slow
down...
love you guys will all my heart!
