The churches are so different here, like sometimes there are
dogs that just walk in and chill. It is cool to see that these people are doing
the same thing we do because this is the only way we can do this and live with
him again. This gospel is so simple and even the people who aren’t as learned
as we are can understand and live it because it is for everyone. I think that
is probably the biggest thing I’ve learned out here is just that there are so
many things we can’t comprehend or understand like the fall is so hard for
people here and the thing is if they would stop trying to figure out the reason
or try to understand with their mind and do it with that sincere heart they
will understand.
We had a pretty good amount of new investigators this week
and we committed a guy to baptism for the 29th. He’s got 2 church appearances
so he can get baptized, so that’s a really cool answer to a lot of prayers. I’ve
felt the spirit super strong this week when I was teaching and when other people
were teaching. I think I really just prayed for help and got it. We had a ton
of people at church and it was just a great week.
We had a zone conference in Tarapoto with all 3 zones and we
had interviews and stuff with President Liu. I understood everything he told me
it was so cool. It’s weird how I was scared to talk with him but I understood
everything and was able to talk with him it was really cool and I felt the
spirit. We see out zone leaders every week and have a meeting so we know them
really well, they both are American. President is not close at all he’s in Iquitos
which is plane ride away our zone leaders are in Moyobamba which is 40
min away but it’s not bad at all, my mission is huge.
It’s crazy how much I’ve grown in the language and the thing
that Elder Doloriert told me is that when I testify and speak through the
spirit my words are clear and direct. My comp is great we have a ton of fun and
work really hard so were great together, it’s gonna be weird to lose him.
One thing I’m trying to change is caring about people more
than numbers. I feel like I’m failing because I don’t have numbers yet but that’s
not why I’m here. I’m here to give it my all and do what I need to do.
They have juice in bags here that they just give to people.
They did that in Lima too its upper weird. The milk here is all artificial but it’s
so bomb, I get 2 liters a week.
This week was awesome. It’s rainy then sunny every day is different
but it’s great. I miss snow LOL. I’m doing great some days are tough but some
days are so cool just gotta always push forward. It’s already been about 3 and
a half months it’s crazy. I love you tons mom miss you every day.
