December 14, 2015

We went to the coolest little place last week for Pday. It is a town in the mountains almost an hour up from our zone. It's headed out to the jungle, you take a turn to a road that goes by a river just full of trees and greenness. We go up until we get to the bottom and go up 20 minutes of switch backs until we get to the little town hidden in the trees haha it is one of the coolest places I've been to ever.

This was a great week, we had another baptism, a 10 year old who's grandma is a member. He's the coolest! We have met lots of cool people this week and my companion and I are working diligently. 

Prayer is the most important thing we can do. God really is guiding us, none of these things that we are accomplishing here in this work is because we are awesome, no one is more awesome than God. That's why we always have to humble ourselves to him and let him guide us. We had an awesome Stake Conference, I know this is the true church of Jesus Christ!






With the converts we watched the life of Thomas S. Monson to know the Prophet better, and I made a new little friend :)

August 3, 2015

This week is going to be soo awesome because we have a list of every member and we are going to find the less actives and also get to know all of their neighbors haha. Our biggest priorities this week are 4 families that are going to get married this month! One couple are both less active members baptized as kids and just now reactivating and seeing the importance of marriage, the other is a less active sister who's future husband is now investigating the church, she is reactivating and he is going to be baptized at the end of the month, and the other two are investigators getting married so that they can be baptized! This is the plan, and we need lots of help and prayers so that they can all get married on the 23 of August! (here they have 2 or 3 times a year what is called a massive wedding where its a little cheaper and easier to get married all on the same day) Its very difficult to get married here sometimes for the people that come from other departments or also from the jungle or places not so advanced, so the biggest trial is getting all of their papers gathered and up to date. We have been working with these families for the whole 3 months that I have been here and this is the big opportunity! Please include them in your prayers! They are soo cool! Im going to be soo happy for them when they can finally have the blessing of being married and then prepare to be sealed in the temple! 

PerĂº is great, I love it so much, its such a reality check in every aspect and its amazing this earth that God has given us. Our choices determine our destiny! Make good choices, love God and Love one another. Love you so much! Have a great week!
