Week 23

 

(Hitching a ride)

Well i want to tell all you people that think i am just living the life here in peru.... i am haha!!! but seriously it is the hardest life out there!! it is so stressful, so tiring, so hard, a lot of talking, a lot of walking, a lot of reading, a lot of studying, a lot of heat and a lot of hardships! And i wouldn't want to do anything different with my life at this exact moment! every door slammed and every cuss word kicks us down, but only for a minute! because we get right back up and knock the next one! why am i here? why am i putting my self through these hard ships and sadness and heat? because, the joy that i have, the eternal joy that i feel; i know exactly where it is from, with out a doubt it is from this gospel, from my Savior and from serving him with all my heart might mind and strength! that is why i am here! to bring them the light and joy that i get every day!! i love sharing this gospel and i love the lessons i am learning from all the hard hard times that i am having here! the is NO other thing i would rather be doing! the peoiple here NEED what i have to share, and i won't stop until they have it! i am here to serve my Savior Jesus Christ! all he wants is our best, that's all, so thats what we are giving! our 100% best! i love this work with all my heart.

this week we have been doing a ton of service!! it was really awesome!! first we helped move our pension up too his new house and so we loaded a truck a few timeas and drove up and threw it all on the roof until they are ready to put it in their house.  it was a party and a good work out for sure!! then we went to a rescue of ours and helped her clean her house so she could come to church on time, so we swept and watered her dirt and had a good time! then we went to a house and helped them roof! they roof all there houses with bricks and stuff! we showed up and they didn't have anything for us to do so we started to build a platform and then they took over so we left.   we tried! haha then this morning at 6:30 we went and helped a family move, the are new to the ward! it was way good! we got it done fast and they fed us so that was awesome! It was a good week for service.....

i want to tell you now about some of our progressing people! 

1. Mercedes: she is a recent convert and she couldnt understand hardly anything that we taught her so it was super hard cause she just couldnt comprehend what the stories meant or simple doctrine or anything...so we started just reading the book of mormon with her almost everyday and wow!!!!! she is sooooo awesome! she can now read a verse and tell us exactly what it says! she knows the difference between Mormom and Joseph Smith now and never forgets it! she is progressoing so much and doing way awesome!

2. Alcides!! alcides is the shiz.com!! he is seriously the coolest guy ever! he loves us and loves everything about the church!! his only problem is that he has meetings for work every Sunday morning and he travels to Argentina for work a lot... so we are working with him to get to church! he knows he needs to make a choice so we will see if he will make the right one! 

3. Vilma: she is a street contact that we had, she is so special.. she has trouble walking cause her whole body shakes, it is so sad.. she has trouble talking too so we are starting to help her out a lot.  she showed up to church on her own, we are so glad that is she happy and hope she comes agian.
