Well Howdy Everyone!
Things are going great here in Peru! there isnt a ton to tell about but i will see what i can come up with! haha
This week we had 2 great baptisms! Fransisco is a young man that is 13 years old and will receive the preisthood on sunday! its a good feeling to see some receive the preisthood!! His dad is compeletly Catholic and didnt want him to be baptised, but his dad doesnt live with him and his mom in an amazing Investigator! in 2 days she read the entire Book of Mormon! she requested Doctrine and Covenants and is almost finished reading it! We have a lot of great investigators like her but the largest problem that we have here in Peru is that everyone is "conviviente" which basically means they call eachother husband and wife and live together for years and years and years but never get married legally and to be baptised you need to be legally married!!!! NO!!!! haha but in anycase Fransisco told his dad off and told him that he was going to be baptised and his dad respected the fact that he was making his own decisions and that he was doing things for himself and was baptised this saturday!
His neice is named Danna she is 9 years old and she from the begining has had a strong testimony in the church, but she is very picked on and doesnt have a strong support system from her family. Her mom is really judgmental and tells her all the time that she is a disobedient terrible kid, but thats just the custom of parenting here!!! i have learned the kind of parent i dont want to be and so i think i am learning from all the bad to do the good in the future! haha her mom was drilling her about why she wanted to be married and she was really quiet for a long time and her mom kept drilling her! after a moment we could tell something was building up inside her and she bursted! I WANT TO BE BAPTISED BECAUSE I AM A CHILD OF GOD!!! haha wow it was so powerful! we were all blown away and she started to cry and so did her mother and from that point we have seen a huge change in their relationship and they are growing together!
Yesterday the president called me in for a personal interveiw in the office! i was nervous thinking about all the things that i done, trying to think if i had broken the rules or something like that! when i got there he informed me that he would like me to train one of the 4 new missionaries coming to the mission this transfer and out of the 200 missionaries in the mission he had prayed and fasted and received revelation that i would be the one to train!!! wow all at once it was like my entire world had changed! haha he asked me what my first thoughts were, and all that i had to say was..."ummm i am going to be praying a lot for humility and i hope i can live up to what the lord would have me do!" he laughed and reassured me that i would be ok and that the lord had called me to this position!
After that we had a few hours of training so that we could focus all of our time in being the best missionaries and the best trainers that the we can be.... it was really exciting and really humbling all at the same time! i didnt think that i would train until the end of my mission because north americans dont usually train till the last 6 months of their mission until they are fluent and strong in the language and in their successes! haha wow i have a lot to live up to!!!!!!!!!
another thing to add on top of that the president wants me to be the District leader here in my zone! what!!!!!! haha i was thinking all about my time here in the mission and the things that i have done and hope to accomplish and i hope and pray that the lord will provide for me while i am undertaking these responsibilities... haha i dont know who i tricked or fooled but i know that there is something i am to learn from all this and i humbly hope i can help and serve my fellow missionaries to the best of my abilities!
Yesterday night when the president had told me all this and at the end of the training and the end of the day my companion and i shut off the lights and were ready to say our personal prayers and i just dropped to my knees and pleaded with the lord for help during these times that i can do all that he wants and that i can be the best leader that i can! my mind was racing all night and i didnt sleep well at all! haha i had all these ideas of things i want to do and accomplish and all these things that i know i need to better and it just felt like the entire world just got more serious as a missoinary! haha i am humbled excited and nervous all at the same time!!! There is a program that we need to study and teach with our new companions so tat we can help them dominate the doctorine in each and every moment so that we can tough the hearts of each and every person with whom we contact! all i ask is that you pray for me!!! haha i will need your prayers....
well tomorrow i will receive my new companion and i will start my first training!!!! ah!!!!! haha i dont know how to describe my emotions i know that the lord and that President Chipman are trusting in my i will just have to work the hardest and be the best i can to accomplish what it is the lord wants me to do and learn!!!!!
well i love you all and if there is something i forgot i will write it next week! i love you all!!!!

Brady is coming on over to lima huh! thats super cool! he is going to love it and i know that he is going to do great! tell him that he better get used to eating rice for every meal everyday for 2 years!!! and guenie pigs!!!! haha its crazy to think that when he will go into the MTC i will have a year in the mission!!!! how nuts!!!!! time has gone by so fast! its really sad....
MIKI SENT ME A PICTURE OF HER IN THE DRESS!!!!! holy cow i didnt think i would ever witness it! i tried so hard when i was there to make her girly and the moment that i left she went all girly on me! haha she told me about a few crushes and a few cute boys!!!!! i hope that you have been cleaning and taking good care of my guns! i think they are going to come in handy when i get back and while i am gone sounds like you might have to use them!
Well this week we had 2 baptisms.... one will be a deacon named Fransisco Nole, and ther other is his neice named Danna who is 10 years old! it was an amazing opportunity like always and the spirit is always so strong when we have baptisms! i love it and it makes me feel like i am doing well as an elder when we have them. like i am doing what the lord would have me do!

Hello Everyone,
Well this week has been full of some fun suprises, here in the mission there is never a shortage of adventure or excitment. Today we had transfers, and i am going to be training a new missionary these next few transfers depending on a few things that are going to happen rather shortly... let me explain... and mom when you read this please do not freak out.... i am in good hands and you do not need to worry or to call the mission or anything if we need to contact you we will! love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well this all started about 2 weeks ago we were playing soccer as part of an activity during one of our Noche Misional, which is just a night where we as missionaries take the time to teach in the chapel and then have time to have activities and games and things like that. Our district leader had organized this activity to be a night of soccer where we would play out on the cancha, which is just a soccer feild. while we where playing i went knee to knee with another hermano in the ward and something popped in my knee. it instantly started swelling and i had some pain but it wasnt a lot so i just firgured that everything would be ok and that i would be better in a few days. i continued to work and do all as normal and as i should do, a few days latter i had the great luck of receiving another infected mesquito bite on the same knee cap that i had injured playing soccer.
at first i didnt recognize that anything was happening and that the bite was infected or that the injury underneath was really as bad as it was. all came to a crashing halt a few days latter when i woke up in the morning and my knee had inflamed and changed colors and was in a lot of pain. i looked at the bite and recognized all the same symptoms from the bite that i had received before , i called hermana chipman and she told me to take some antibiotics and taht if it didnt improve in three days that i would need to call her again to verfiy my progress and to see what was going on, i pushed through the pain and kept tracking and working for those 3 days and it seemed to get worse and worse and i couldnt figure out why the infection wasnt being helpped with the medicine and why there was so much pain all the time. this week as of monday i have only slept a total of 15 or so hours. friday was the third day the deadline to call hermana chipman if i wasnt improving, and i wasnt so what i did like any other missionary was call her.
She told me that i would need to send her a picture of my knees so that she could see the difference and make a decision, we took the photos and sent them... she called us and told me that i would have 1 hour to pack ALL of my things in my suitcases and be in the bus station to leave for piura for emergency treatment. i did as i was told and packed and left from my first area! it was so sad becasuse i had 2 baptisms the following day with my comp, but they were baptized yesterday and it still counts for our companionship and for GOD! haha well i packed up and left Zarumilla and had to travel 6 hours to piura ALONE!!!! it was so weird, it felt so weird not having a comp i didnt like it at all!! it was not right to travel alone but in cases of emergency hermana chipman told me i had to do so! haha
i got to piura and was greeted by the office elders and was taken to the office (this is saturday night) and right after we went to the emergency room because i couldnt walk because the infection was so advanced that it was taking over my knee! we went to the clinic and i was treated for the infection which basically all they did was cut my leg open and clean out some of the puss and blood. the doctor perscribed me some medicine and sent me on my way not thinking much of the infection, also he didnt examine the injury underneath from the soccer accident so i didnt get treated for that. i returned to the office and started my treatmen but the pain was not pain from an infection it is pain from something else, it is a deep pain in the muscule or something like that. i took all the pills and tried to get some sleep... i got 3 full amazing hours! haha
sunday i limped my way to the ward here and attended church, after all the meetings i received a call from my comp that our investigators had been baptized and that made my entire day! it didnt matter taht i was in an imense amount of pain and that i was on medical watch i had still had completed my job as a missionary and done the lords work and that can take away any pain! but after chruch i had an exam with President Chipman (he is a doctor and hermana chipman is a nurse!) we are ok with medical background! when we unwrapped the wound it had changed so much and was forcing out a ton of puss! i took pictures to send you all you are all going to love them... he was quite suprised and we forced out all we could get out of it and then cleaned it and wrapped it again, the pain though continues to grow.... i told president everything about all that had happened and he examined all of my knee and told me that he thinks i have internal muscule or ligament injury! which would require an MRI... i am not going to go into detail with the rest of the night but i suffered through the pain and received a ton of strength from my father in heaven.
this morning is pday and i am in the office still, but since we are in transfers the office is crazy!!!! everyone in the office is changing and everyone is training and its nuts here! i have been on crutches all day and havent been able to walk! its qutie the pain in the butt.. we are starting to help the infection, but as the words of president chipman...we arent out of the woods yet... there is a lot of fluid in my leg.
right now i am sitting at the office computer passing my internet time... please dont freak out about this we are all watched over by our father in heaven and i know all will be ok. all i want you to do is keep me in your prayers and when you hear from me you will hear from me.... ok!!!! love you all!!!!
here is the kicker.... we are treating the infection right now and tonight i am going to see a specialist to take the MRI and see if i need surgury for ligament damage!!!! i dont think i do we just cant explain the pain.... its soooooo bad hahaha but ill be ok! we dont know anything of options right now but i do know that if i need surgury i will see you all soon, but i am not going to lie, i dont want to see you all soon! i will see you all in a year and a half!!!! we will find out more about the MRI tonight when its done and in a few days when we have results!
please i cant stress this enough.... DO NOT FREAK OUT ABOUT THIS EMAIL I AM JUST INFORMING YOU!!!!
i dont know what is going to happen to me because i am supposed to be training a new missionary starting wednesday but i may be here or in the hosptial.... to keep taking some tests.
my future is unsure right about now, but having pondered each and every which way i think this may turn out i have come to one diffinitive decission. whatever happens it is the will of the lord. i have served him with all my heart might mind and strength to the point where i could not physically do so, and i WILL continue to work and serve him until i am in the grave if needs be!!!!
we will find out more about this as it comes we are playing it by ear and i dont have anymore information as of right now if i get some exciting news tonight i will write you all again so that you can be updated!!!!
CONGRATES ZACH ON YOUR ENGAGMENT!!!! IN ALL SINCERIDAD I HOPE IM NOT THERE FOR YOUR WEDDING AND YOU KNOW WHY! i have other things to take care of here in the service of the lord!
i love you all and will be on and off internet all night to get this worked out!
PLEASE DO NOT FREAK OUT; DO NOT CALL THE MISSION HOME OFFICE OR PRESIDENT! i will inform you when i have more info!
love you all!!!!

Dear Everyone,
well this week has been another great week here in peru! it is weird to think how long all of my friends an i have been out! TAYLOR HOLTBY is passing his year mark! how sad!!!! haha well for him...
this week we had another great baptism and we are working really hard to be obedient and to baptise every week so that we can make the most of our time here in the mission we realize how short our time is!!! I know that the lord prepares people for us to teach and who were ment to be converted bu us! Hermana Jennifer has been coming to church for 3 weeks and this last week was the first time i had met her. i introduced myself and the first thing she told me was that she had spoken to her mother and would like to be baptised!!!! wow what a blessing! haha
within the next 5 days we taught every single lesson and she understood everything with ease! a golden investigator! haha the lord had prepared her for us! on saturday we preformed her service and i was fortunate enough to preform the baptism! also she asked me to preform the confirmation on sunday! wow! i felt quite honored!
well i have been studying a lot about the second coming and that is mainly what i wanted to write about today!!!!
i decieded that other day to read all of D and C through and it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! i love it so much, being the first real time that i have read it all the way through it is amazing!!!!!
i wanted to leave you all with a few things to study because i have been studying these scriptures and learned something very interesting!!!!
Matthew 24:36
D&C 84:1-4
D&C29:26
D&C 57:1-3
moises 7:62
study guide for the scriptures..
new jerusalem
missuri

I know that the lord prepares people for us to teach and who were ment to be converted bu us! Hermana Jennifer has been coming to church for 3 weeks and this last week was the first time i had met her. i introduced myself and the first thing she told me was that she had spoken to her mother and would like to be baptised!!!! wow what a blessing! haha
within the next 5 days we taught every single lesson and she understood everything with ease! a golden investigator! haha the lord had prepared her for us! on saturday we preformed her service and i was fortunate enough to preform the baptism! also she asked me to preform the confirmation on sunday! wow! i felt quite honored!
well i have been studying a lot about the second coming and that is mainly what i wanted to write about today!!!!
i decieded that other day to read all of D and C through and it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! i love it so much, being the first real time that i have read it all the way through it is amazing!!!!!

Dear One and All,
Hello everyone, well let me first off start by saying sorry about the letter last week, it was a hectic day and we had many suprises that we were not planning on happening.
Well this week hasnt really been full of exciting prosoliteing stories or anything like that but i have learned a few very good lessons this week that i felt impressed to share....
When i had this infected bite on my knee it affected a lot of the daily activites that i did. I went to the doctor last week and they took and ultra sound and told me that i had torn my left lateral muscule in my leg and would not walk for 6 weeks.... Last monday i received a letter from dad and at the end it mentioned breifly... ¨stay humble, stay on your knees¨ it was really comical when i first read that knowing that i could not kneel and that doing so caused me a great deal of pain... later that night while writing in my jornal that thought struck me again. ¨Stay Humble, stay on your knees¨ i decieded in that moment that i would do as instructed and kneel down and offer up a sincere prayer to my father in heaven. Doing so caused me great pain and it was very uncomfortable and i was very distracted so praying suddenly became much more difficult....
in my room all by myself while my companion was in the shower i knelt in pain and began a humble prayer.... while i was praying i received what can only be a prompting from the Holy Ghost or the voice of my father in heaven.... and he told me, ïf you will kneel in humbility each and everytime you pray, i will heal you...¨ this voice literally was audible in my ears and i could hear it speak to me. I took the time to listen and told the lord out loud, i would do so, putting my faith in my lord and savior that as i was obidient to the promptings of the spirit i would be blessed....
From that moment forth no matter where i was, whether in dirt or tile or wood or grass.... i would do as i had prmoised and i would continue to kneel to pray... it caused me some troubles at times and the President was not happy about the decision that i was making, but he had not been there to understand that simple prayer that i had offered and the simple few words that my father in heaven had spoken to me....
I am happy to tell you all that this day i know that the power of prayer i more real than anything i know, whether it be for something as simple as a knee injury to a loss of a loved one. There will never be a time in which you are in better communication with our maker than when we are on our knees in humble humble prayer..... TOMORROW I WILL HAVE COMPLETED A MIRACLE RECOVERY AND RE-ENTERING THE MISSION FEILD IN 1 WEEK! The infection is totally gone and i have miraculously healed from my torn muscule and even though it is still sore i am fully able to walk and knock doors.... the lord protects his servants!!!!
One of the things that struck me most about this learning experience is the way in which we pray..... when we say ïn the name of jesus christ amen¨ it is signifying that we are asking these things of our father in heaven through our mediator jesus christ! we are saying it as thought it would be our savior saying these things.... we are saying that by closing in this manner we are telling our heavenly father that this is the will of the son! so each and every single one of our prayers must then be really the will of what christ would want for us.... I know that my father in heaven listened to my prayer and protected me when i needed him and told him that i would be obedient to his will and not my own...
Anther cool thing that happened this week was that i had a self revelation about who i wanted to be after the mission or in this life in general and i started a list called ....`who do i want to be?` and it outlines things that i want to accomplish and aspects of my life that i want and am going to work and strive twoards....
here are a few things on my list that are fun....
Here in the mission i deceided that i wanted to not only learn spanish but i am going to learn portugese and french too! because they are so simallar that they can be read and closley spoken the same.... i am reading the book of mormon in portugese and when i am done i will read it in french....i just finished again in spanish, side not...
I always regreted not learning how to play the piano because it is just a beautiful skill to have and it is SOOOO amazing when someone is really good at the piano so here in the mission i am also learning to play the piano and have now learned 5 hymn! hahahah i am going to take piano lessons after the mission or a piano class because it is never too late to find a new skill to love!
Another thing that i would like to learn is to sing really well.... my comp is a voice teacher and is teaching me how to sing in falseto which is really really high! but im getting a hang of it and needless to say we are singing everywhere we go and in everything we do so when we are just here in the office we just sing while we work and its really really cool! haha i love it.....
well there are a lot of things on this list and its not really a bucket list its more a list of things that are going to help shape who i am in this life and help me to always have goals to push myself to always be my best and do my best!!!! i am going to be so self motivated that i will through out the course of my life work at anything until i have accomplished it!
well im on all day today so if you get this and feel like writing back i will be happy to respond.
i love you all so much and miss you all!
love from over seas here in Peru!
Les amo con todo de mi corazón, espero que todo esta bien con ustedes y en esta semana dios les bendigo.

Dear One and All,
Hello everyone, well let me first off start by saying sorry about the letter last week, it was a hectic day and we had many suprises that we were not planning on happening.
Well this week hasnt really been full of exciting prosoliteing stories or anything like that but i have learned a few very good lessons this week that i felt impressed to share....
When i had this infected bite on my knee it affected a lot of the daily activites that i did. I went to the doctor last week and they took and ultra sound and told me that i had torn my left lateral muscule in my leg and would not walk for 6 weeks.... Last monday i received a letter from dad and at the end it mentioned breifly... ¨stay humble, stay on your knees¨ it was really comical when i first read that knowing that i could not kneel and that doing so caused me a great deal of pain... later that night while writing in my jornal that thought struck me again. ¨Stay Humble, stay on your knees¨ i decieded in that moment that i would do as instructed and kneel down and offer up a sincere prayer to my father in heaven. Doing so caused me great pain and it was very uncomfortable and i was very distracted so praying suddenly became much more difficult....
in my room all by myself while my companion was in the shower i knelt in pain and began a humble prayer.... while i was praying i received what can only be a prompting from the Holy Ghost or the voice of my father in heaven.... and he told me, ïf you will kneel in humbility each and everytime you pray, i will heal you...¨ this voice literally was audible in my ears and i could hear it speak to me. I took the time to listen and told the lord out loud, i would do so, putting my faith in my lord and savior that as i was obidient to the promptings of the spirit i would be blessed....
From that moment forth no matter where i was, whether in dirt or tile or wood or grass.... i would do as i had prmoised and i would continue to kneel to pray... it caused me some troubles at times and the President was not happy about the decision that i was making, but he had not been there to understand that simple prayer that i had offered and the simple few words that my father in heaven had spoken to me....
I am happy to tell you all that this day i know that the power of prayer i more real than anything i know, whether it be for something as simple as a knee injury to a loss of a loved one. There will never be a time in which you are in better communication with our maker than when we are on our knees in humble humble prayer..... TOMORROW I WILL HAVE COMPLETED A MIRACLE RECOVERY AND RE-ENTERING THE MISSION FEILD IN 1 WEEK! The infection is totally gone and i have miraculously healed from my torn muscule and even though it is still sore i am fully able to walk and knock doors.... the lord protects his servants!!!!
One of the things that struck me most about this learning experience is the way in which we pray..... when we say ïn the name of jesus christ amen¨ it is signifying that we are asking these things of our father in heaven through our mediator jesus christ! we are saying it as thought it would be our savior saying these things.... we are saying that by closing in this manner we are telling our heavenly father that this is the will of the son! so each and every single one of our prayers must then be really the will of what christ would want for us.... I know that my father in heaven listened to my prayer and protected me when i needed him and told him that i would be obedient to his will and not my own...
Anther cool thing that happened this week was that i had a self revelation about who i wanted to be after the mission or in this life in general and i started a list called ....`who do i want to be?` and it outlines things that i want to accomplish and aspects of my life that i want and am going to work and strive twoards....
here are a few things on my list that are fun....
Here in the mission i deceided that i wanted to not only learn spanish but i am going to learn portugese and french too! because they are so simallar that they can be read and closley spoken the same.... i am reading the book of mormon in portugese and when i am done i will read it in french....i just finished again in spanish, side not...
I always regreted not learning how to play the piano because it is just a beautiful skill to have and it is SOOOO amazing when someone is really good at the piano so here in the mission i am also learning to play the piano and have now learned 5 hymn! hahahah i am going to take piano lessons after the mission or a piano class because it is never too late to find a new skill to love!
Another thing that i would like to learn is to sing really well.... my comp is a voice teacher and is teaching me how to sing in falseto which is really really high! but im getting a hang of it and needless to say we are singing everywhere we go and in everything we do so when we are just here in the office we just sing while we work and its really really cool! haha i love it.....
well there are a lot of things on this list and its not really a bucket list its more a list of things that are going to help shape who i am in this life and help me to always have goals to push myself to always be my best and do my best!!!! i am going to be so self motivated that i will through out the course of my life work at anything until i have accomplished it!
well im on all day today so if you get this and feel like writing back i will be happy to respond.
i love you all so much and miss you all!
love from over seas here in Peru!
Les amo con todo de mi corazón, espero que todo esta bien con ustedes y en esta semana dios les bendigo.

I always regreted not learning how to play the piano because it is just a beautiful skill to have and it is SOOOO amazing when someone is really good at the piano so here in the mission i am also learning to play the piano and have now learned 5 hymn! hahahah i am going to take piano lessons after the mission or a piano class because it is never too late to find a new skill to love!
Another thing that i would like to learn is to sing really well.... my comp is a voice teacher and is teaching me how to sing in falseto which is really really high! but im getting a hang of it and needless to say we are singing everywhere we go and in everything we do so when we are just here in the office we just sing while we work and its really really cool! haha i love it.....
well there are a lot of things on this list and its not really a bucket list its more a list of things that are going to help shape who i am in this life and help me to always have goals to push myself to always be my best and do my best!!!! i am going to be so self motivated that i will through out the course of my life work at anything until i have accomplished it!
well im on all day today so if you get this and feel like writing back i will be happy to respond.
i love you all so much and miss you all!
love from over seas here in Peru!
Les amo con todo de mi corazón, espero que todo esta bien con ustedes y en esta semana dios les bendigo.

Well HAPPY VALENTINES DAY Everyone!
this week has flown by so fast it feels like just yesterday that i was writing you guys! crazy how time flys by when you are having fun and working hard! this week we had great baptisms!!! we are having so much success here and i am loving every second of it! The lord is blessing us so much and we are finding so many great people who are ready to hear this message that we share! its so amazing the miracles that we see everyday!
one cool experience that happened this week was that on tuesday i was inspired to buy emergencie candles for some reason, i didnt know why!!! haha but i did as the spirit told me and i bought them, thurday and friday we didnt have electricity at all! haha and the candles came is so handy! without them we couldnt have seen anything in our apartment past 6 pm... i was thinking about the promptings i receive from the spirit and reading my patriarichal blessing and i started to think about the story of the 10 birdemaids whom 5 of which had oil enough for emergencies and 5 of which were not prepared, we were talking about this story as a companionship and were glad to come to the conclusion that because we listened to the spirit we were those who were prepared! idk it was a cool spiritual experience.
we has service in the bannana and mango plantation or ¨chakra¨this week! it so amazing to go and work there! it so beautiful! its like all the tropical scenes right out of movies i love it!!! i took a lot of great pictures of the family we went with and my comp. we were picking and eating mangos right off the tree and they were soooooo gooooood! haha while my comp was eating one of the mangos he bit into it and broke off his entire front tooth! haha since saturday he hasnt had a front tooth and its such a crack up! we have been looking for a trustworthy dentist where we are but there arent a whole lot of options so i think this week we are going to travel to piura to get it fixed!
we had training with the president this week for 2 days and after the president came to work with us and visit our areas! my comp and i are the number 1 companionship for baptisms this transfer and the president wanted to see how we are working! we are so greatful to our father in heaven for blessing us with this success, the president told us he is really proud of the work we are doing and that there are great things instore for us soon! we are so excited to have time with the president we always learn so much from him!
well yesterday was a bad day for me and the wild dogs of zarumilla haha within a 10 minute period i was attacked 4 different times by 4 different dogs! haha i was only bit ttwice but it still kind of stunk, my comp as just laughing and laughing becasuse it was so strange that it happened so fast and so frequent! haha i dont know what i am supposed to learn from this experience but i will look hard to try and find something! ive been reading the book of mormon is spanish again! the 3rd time since the mission! im learning so much each and everytime i re read and really search the scriptures! its so great! i love it!!!!!
well i think thats all i have for this week i hope you are all doing great and that you have a great week!
