JULY 21, 2014 "LITTLE MIRACLES EACH AND EVERY DAY"

hola padres como estan!!!! bueno... mi tio brent me dijo que estan yendo a la playa... estoy muy celoso pero esta bien... and to tell you guys the truth i am really excited and really happy to be in the mission... i have a great companion and we get along really well... i have learned that to have success, you have to be unified with your companion. i know it will be the same with my wife after the mission. but me and my companion definitely have great unity and we are ready to do work..

this week have the baptism of nilda and her daughter angie... they are really stoked about their baptism this week... they couldn't do it on this last saturday for their time of the month but this week they are ready... after that we have the baptism of famiily sanchez... a family of 3... yesterday we had a killer lesson and they could not deny the spirit and we reinforced their fecha and are ready for the second of august... afterwards we have a pf which is named carlos... he is the father of the fam, his wife is less active but we are reactivating her, and their son is goign to serve a mission soon as well... he is for the 9 of august... we have the family of tocto silva... a fam of four... like we have said alot we are just waiting for the husband to come home, they get married because they have the birth certificates ready and everything and afterwards they get baptized... the father comes home the 16 of august as well.  we have some other potentials but these are the fixed baptisms that we have.  

what was kyle honored for??? i would like to hear more about this! yesterday we had a great lesson with the family sanchez because the husband still wasn't sure if he wanted to get baptized... after a great lesson and have the spirit all around us, he could not deny it and told us that the second of august is the day he will get baptized with his family... it was so awesome! the other day we helped a member at his house fix his house... what we did was fix the wooden walls.... quite interesting the way that people live here and what their houses are made of but its awesome and i have come to love it.  hows cali and all the fam? oh how i miss a good rook game with the family! last night i had a raging migraine and after asking my companion for a blessing 10 minutes later i was able to fall asleep  and the pain went away...just another little miracle that happened in the mission... i love how the mission is filled with little miracles each and every day... this week the president is coming to our district meeting.. the other elders dont know... should be really interesting this Wednesday! hahaha... my converts sent me a photo of their baby that was just born and how my x companion was able to give him a blessing... they write me every week telling me how excited they are to be able to see me when they go to the temple this April on my birthday! they are so awesome! how is the whole family doing?? i feel like during the week i have so much to tell you but then when i get to the computer it all goes away hahaha... oh but i do remember a moment where i learned that it is really really important to listen with all your heart and might to the spirit in the lessons... was an experience that i wont forget for sure! anyways i am loving living over here in the dunes of Peru! i cant wait to show you guys one day! hope you like some of the pictures! the first pic is of my converts and their new baby! a picture of one of my favorite plates here in peru.. se llama arroz con pollo! and we have a sweet hammock in our house! its legit! anyways! i love you guys! ask me more questions! that always helps me to think about the things to tell you guys! love you with all my heart!

Hey brodda ,

I am so excited to hear that things are going so well.  I can sense the excitement in your letters.  That's a great feeling.  I am just hopping on a plane back to Phx.  I picked Kyle up fri football camp in Payson thurs night and flew to cbad fri morn.  Went right out and had some really fun waves from a south swell that started thurs.  Thurs was the day but fri was still good.  Surfed the reef at terra mar.  Fish everywhere.
Kyle was honored by the coaches at camp on their twitter page.  He was stoked.
All the wades are coming in.  I had a great rook game today.  Brent and I beat up on Steve and Matt.   We slaughtered them twice and they beat us barely once.   So fun.  Everybody misses you.   Steve has girlfriend here.   She is very nice.   He is in love.  We fly back wed night.   Kyle and I.   I went to the cabin before I picked up Kyle.  Alan & Linda were there w granny.   We had a great dinner and enjoyed the evening.   We were sitting out on the new back deck when a big elk came up.  Really cool.   Gotta go.

Love dad!!!!
