Merry Christmas

well I can't wait to talk with you guys this week, I am super excited. I really don't have words to explain how I feel. It's the best part of Christmas that's for sure!

I will call you guys at 12.30 in Peru. today. to coordinate everything.

I love you ma!

We were let down by the 3 fish tanks we paid to see.

Small things now will bring Big things later

My comp is great! We get along great! we are like best pals. He has lots to learn along with me as well. But he is young and just super funny, like all those who are from Chiclayo Peru!

All we need is faith. After having gone to church for the first time as a branch, because last week we had stake conference,  I can see why.  This area needs a lot of help. We got together yesterday with my comp and we were talking all night on how we can change things or how we can change ourselves first and what we are doing. I have felt a huge worry for the area.

Lucky I have a great comp who we always laugh together, helps me not to stress  myself out too much from all the things we have to do...

But all we need is faith and heart willing to love and serve and the lord will bless us with the inspiration to know what small things we can start doing now, so that later we can see the big change!

I love you dad. I hope everything is going great. I love you so much!

Independencia is great!

wow what a week!!!

Independencia is great! It's a little small town filled with farm areas, but it is super smalll, but there is lots of work to be done. Which is great! I am super excited, my testimony has grown over these past 7 days.. as all we need is faith to find those who are ready to listen, and have faith that we are doing what he has asked us to do. And to have faith in what we really are doing is and will be the will the of the Lord.

I am happy the Lord has sent me here to learn. That he only asks for the faith with the attitude that shines and understands His will and hopes for it.

I love you mom! can't wait to talk to you!

love elder Ciark

We followed this guy for about a half an hour to get to an appointment , it was awesome , him and his little black dog!

Pisco,Independencia

This week has been crazy, pretty sad for the transfer. But it was needed. Now I am in Pisco, Independencia . Wow it's a little people- it's a little town. with lots a space. It's very calm. The people are super nice!!!

I am very excited.
I hope my zone is good haha.
But it is super dusty here, when you take one step its like a meteor hit haha.
But this area is a branch, only about 30 attend.
This area is known as the most difficult area in the mission. It's that area haha.
But it will make me better, and the Lord knows why I am here.
I think that the Lord has many things ready for this area, just many have put that title on the area.

I love you mom!
love your son

The Frisancho family threw a huge party for me haha.

it was awesome. I will miss them!

It wasn't quite a party but it was, just cuz we aren't quite allowed to haha. But it was super quick and short. which was good. or I would've been super trunky haha

My Bishop

The last time with Elder Rogers and Elder Sejas(eyebrows) cejas means eyebrows

I am thankful for...

I am thankful for my loving mom and family that I have, who are always there for me and who show love for me! I am thankful for a Father in heaven who gives me challenges and helps me to be humble, I am thankful for all the health that I have .

I am thankful fo the mission whichs gives me the time to convert myself while helping others do the same.

It was amazing to see the Lord work through us

wow, this week was interesting.
I thought it never begun, it was so fast. it's insane haha.

We have been showing our true desires to our Savior. Richard still needs some help, he doesn't feel ready, He wants to feel that same feeling that he had when he had that dream haha.

This past week we had an interesting activity, where the whole zone went to this ward all together and we went to look for all of the less actives to visit them, and as we were going we were walking past this guy who was painting this school. and he says, "hey man, What's up ?" and that will happen a lot here haha. Sometimes they want to showoff that they know a little English haha. And most of the time the are drunk out of their minds haha. But this guy sounded different. He didn't have an accent, so I felt the need to talk to him. And so we did.
He spoke perfect English haha. And we just started to talk, and he said that he was from Utah haha! He  looked latin. but he began to explain his life, as he said that he faught in the Iraq war and how it was the saddest part of his life. and how he always used to go to  church when he was younger, he even got his eagle scout award haha. But then he got in the army. but his fam is back in Utah, but he started his own family in Peru. His name is Cesar Suñíga. Then he started talking about the nba haha, and how he is a golden state fan, I decided not to say anything about who my favorite is haha. But later as we were still talking outside this school, he mentioned to me that he was ready for someone like my comp and I to help change his life. His wife and kids aren't members, so we were super excited about that haha. but I was so glad that we had that acitvity , or we wouldn't have been there at that time to find him. because he works from 6 to 10 at night.
It was amazing to see the Lord work through us. As missionaries don't really do anything besides be apart of His great work and glory, as we get converted on the way. It is just a huge blessing to be here. The Lord is making changes and they are quick ones. As I have seen His hands working, they don't stop. and they won't.
I love you mom!

My dream

This week was great. We found Elvis and Diana, a great family, as we were looking through the directory, we felt they would be a good member to visit, the member actually moved to Italy, but we a found a less acive, Diana who was baptized when she was little then she was inactive when she moved. And the rest of the family aren't members, we were super excited when we found them, as we searched for more inspiration, it was wonderful, we hope to help them.
mom, I keep having this dream haha,like all the Peruvians tell us, that they have dreams all the time, almost all the investigators tell us that, that they have this crazy dream and they want us to interpret it haha it's great!
This dream I keep having is that I am playing basketball and I can't make my shots whatsoever! even the little bunnies haha.

And so all day I was thinking about what it means,because I keep having it, all throughout my mission. and then I finally understood the dream, it was that, I didn't understand my role, or sometimes we think we know our role, or to score, when it's something else. Knowing the will of God and the role HE has for us.

I know that to be true. I know we all have roles and we need to understand and find those roles that the Lord has planned for us in this life and the after.

Sorry for such the short letter... I had so much to tell, but I had some computer problems again..

but I love you guys.

love your son
