New companion-Elder Villanueva

I got a new companion his name is Elder Villanueva, he is from Colombia. He's good.
Wow, it was so beautiful, the whole baptism. It was my new comps fiirst baptism. So that was good. When they all bore their testimony at the end of the meeting, you could really feel their conversion that they had had. It was so powerful! Especially Sister Rocio, she is the mom.  She was converted before she was baptized!! It was such a testimony builder for me!!
Rocio, Andrea, Angeles, and Brenda- they are all like family. Really they are so awesome!!
Andrea was super catholic before and wow she has changed so much, really like a ton. The way she dresses, talks and she goes to seminary now, well even before she was baptized she went as well. It was super awseome!!!
German payed his tithing last week as well, wow that was also super cool to see. He wrote on his tithing slip that he pays his tithing and prays for his family and his work and his kids, it was the cutest thing I had ever seen really. It was awesome!!! He was always asking us how much he should pay if he were to gain such amount , it was so cool!!
I love you mom so much!!
love your son

Rocio and her daughters are going to get baptized!



I am so proud of my comp especially with the situation that he had to grow up in. Like his dad is less active same with his brohter. He blows me out of the water, especially with the life I grew up with and how much I didn't take advantage of haha super sad...
But he is great, he really is trying to become better and he has, he really has.

I really have been so blessed mom, I really have. Like this week I left my basketball bag on this combi, or better said, this super duper small mini van haha, which is like a small bus which has a route, and it goes from Pisco to Dos Palmas, which is super far away. And lots of people go through it and so I got off without my bag and I was super sad that we noticed way later hahaha, but after two days, we were able to find it. I thought someone would haave stolen it for sure. I had a bunch of clothes in there haha, with my Book of Mormon with my slides and stuff haha.. so I was super sad, but I was calm at the same time. I was super surprised I felt like that haha, but then I was praying that it would be the will of God, that if I needed to lose it, that it would be His will, so I was calm and that same day I found it. Wow it was crazy. We talked with a bunch of the drivers of the 30 different workers and one said that he saw it and took it to his house, because he didn't know whose it was. and so he gave it back to me with all the stuff inside. Wow I was just super spoiled haha.
Plus on top of all of that, this week we are going to baptize Rocio and her daughters, she is a woman of so much faith. Really, I haven't met someone even close to her. She is awesome!!! We are so excited for her. Pray for her, so that it will be special for her.
I love you so much mom.
love,

A week of learning grace

Wow, this week was a big change. Really everything changed!!!
A week of learning grace really.
We were really with nothing... we had nothing. But then the Lord really did provide for us! It all started when we fasted this past week and everything really turned around. We didn't have any investigators. However, we fasted for someone, called Rocio, she was married. But sadly she got seperated...from her husband, he's a chump, he is really rude. So it was the best for her, really. So it was great. We are working with her and she is the most faithful woman I have ever met in Peru. Really she is great. She already is converted, before she and all of her dauughters will be  baptized!! We are super excited for her! She is so kind. She is also our pension. Pray for her.
We can't wait for her date!!
I miss you mom. I really do!!
I hope things are going well!!
I love you guys!

Weirdest week ever

This week was the weirdest week ever... but we are seeing the grace a bunch as well.

We are trying to do better. It looks like we are doing terrible haha. But we are trying haha. The branch president is very challenging to work with. Just because he has been working the same for 5 years straight... and there hasn't been any progress. It's been really hard to help him understand that things aren't working epescially because we are the only ones in ward council haha.

I felt your prayers mom. Thanks.  I really did. Thanks. I felt them right after I wrote you guys. Thanks mom. Really.

There are so many things that are happening. But I i can't write them all. haha. But things are better. Really a bunch. But I i found a great scripture this week that I love. It's in 1 Corinthians 10:12 where it says that when we are weak, we are strong.

I love it. I don't get it perfectly but, I love it.

I was reading in Alma 4:13-14 where it talks about how they are suffering for the Sake of Christ. I love that. I love when the prophets talk about how we suffer to learn grace, to learn more about what Christ suffered how it was for him. I love that. and how we need to look forward. It's wonderful!!!

I need to learn more about this. All of it is to learn more and to progress. I love you mom.
Thanks for all you do for me mom. haha. don't worry about me though. I am fine. I am doing great. haha

And let me know how bron bron is doing haha. I still love sports haha!!!

love your son
