This is his letter he wrote to his friends:
wow its december already i cant believe how fast the time has flown by!! it doesnt feel at all like december because is summer down here and its like 90 degrees every day!! but im having tons of fun! i love it down here! its 100% filthy but its awesome!!! ha literally you sweep the floor in your room and then you sweep again 10 seconds later because its already dirty! but im having lots of fun and learning lots! we have 3 investigators with baptismal dates! two are brothers Leonardo y anthony and they are the bomb.com!! they are 11 and 14 years old, and they have such strong testimonies its unreal. they will definetely be strong in the church! and we have marizol, its a great story, we went to her house because we received a reference from a ward member tthat maybe we could teach her sister, we knocked on the door and she answered because her sister wasnt there, and she has so many questions, the first was do you guys believe in baptism? haha shes definetely a chosen person to hear the gospel of the lord, and she is progressing really really fast! spanish is coming along pretty well! i still cant understand when the people talk really fast, but when we are teaching the lessons i can get most of whats going on, my companion is a big help because hes from mexico and he talks slow and i can understand him and he helps me a lot! this week we are focusing on being exactly obedient. this week when you have time i would encourage you all to read in mosiah chapter 2, it talks about obedience and whats required of us. if were obedient we are entitled to many blessings that will be poured out upon our heads. THis week i get to go to the temple with my zone! its funny because they have been trying for 6 months to get permission to go to the temple on a pday to go through a session and they finally got permission! for me its great because ive been here like a month and i already get to go! the temple is an awesome place!! also a big thing here in peru is the bank in 2010 started an iniciative, every 2 to 3 months the bank is making a new coin with a new image on it, it is a 1 nueve sol (equivelant to about 33 cents) they come out with new ones every few months and they are a big collectors item down here, they will finish making them in 2016 so some of them dont even exist yet, ive started to make a collection its pretty cool! anywho i hope you guys are having a great time! have a great week!!!
This is the letter he wrote to me! He is getting excited to call home for Christmas! (so am I)
hey momma!
thats awesome!! sounds like your job is going to be great for you! thats awesome! haha i don't really have any problems getting up in the morning which is strange! hows everything going in december? can't believe its december already its crazy! im going to skype on the 25th at whatever time works for you guys, depending on when my companion can too, also i need my username and password for skype so i can log on haha! im going to start writing just a massive group email telling about my week to everyone so i have more time to write you guys about other stuff and what not so ill see how that goes. yeah jaxon told me thats awesome! no i havent seen any llamas and what other package? i got the one with the beef jerky and the peanut butter and stuff but if there was another one i havent got it yet... ill ask my my mission president. the weather has been great here too! no snow either! ha matter of fact its about 80 degrees or hotter every day! i left summer in the states for summer down here! crazy! i actually kinda miss snow and especially snowboarding thats a little hard ha but ill live for two years! the weirdest thing that i have eaten so far is bread with chicken and peaches so not much haha its mostly rice, chicken and potatoes here so not much different from idaho except it has a latin twist to it. its really delicious and im getting fat haha, no but seriously i have a little bit of chubbiness, can you send me (only if its sittin there not being used, if youre using it thats fine use it) but can you send mle the t 25 discs? i have a half hour in the morning when i wake up to workout and thats it so that would be perfect to keep me going! also things that would be good to have that i don't necessarily need but are floss picks, they are so much faster than flossing and you cant buy the down here only dental floss, also maybe some command strips with hooks but ill live without them. and i think i have in the avalanche in the glove box a tiny book of mormon in english, that would be good to have becase when i have free time i don't have my quad with me because it weighs a ton. thanks! this week im focusing on being 100% obedient and trusting everything in the lord because without him we can't do anything. anywho hope you have an absolutely fantastic week this week and have fun everyday! always look for the good in the day! im loving every second out here it really is a neat experience!
Love you lots momma! and i cant wait to skype on christmas!!! love you tons!!!!!!!!!
