May 23, 2016 ~ Week 99

The "let’s go and get 100 lessons and 100 baptisms and rescues" bug has kicked in, and we are breaking records as far as teaching goes. Also the temperature is super-hot, I’m not sure if its broken a record but the sun seems to come closer to Pedregal’s surface every day. A family we are teaching has been keeping their commitment and has the goal to be baptized this Saturday, so pray for Dana and Roselyn.

We will have branch conference this Sunday, then the following Sunday (June 5^th), are the presidential elections again (which means no church), so it appears that June 12th will be the last time I partake of the sacrament in Peru.

Les amo a todos

¿Que onda?

This past week we went to Arequipa to have our mission leadership conference, and this Tuesday we will have the zone conference to report what was taught. The focus this past conference was contacting and family history. I’m excited that the Tucson Temple will have their open house and dedication soon, but as for the Arequipa temple the ground breaking hasn’t even been announced.

At least there is a legit reason to come back to the mission in about 3 years for the temple dedication, at least that’s what I tell members, as they ask me if I will ever come back to Peru.

Love y’all

May 9, 2016 ~ Week 97

Changes were this past week and 2 of the 6 missionaries in this branch are getting taken out, so it appears that the work just doubled as far as missionary work is concerned. Now there are only 12 missionaries in the zone.

Elder Nicholls and I are still companions and I will finish
my mission as a zone leader however the mission president has made us the District Leaders as well.

Every Tuesday we will have to teach our district a class and watch over their needs and goals.

This week we will have our MLC in Arequipa as well.

Enjoy the scenery of Pedregal!!

We rescued another less active family this past week!! The father accompanied us on some visits, we hopped on the back of his tow truck motorcycle, I got to get a pic of one of those things.

This past Sunday was another great meeting in church attendance for members and all for all the people that we are teaching.

We traveled 2 hours on Friday with Elder Nicholls to go and have

a baptismal interview.

I was able to interview her, it was very special, her baptism will be

this week.

See you on Sunday!!
