Stayed in Ica

Helloooo.....
Haha well another one bites the dust hey... well another day of changes but the good news is that my companion and i are staying togethe..r the bad news is my good friend elder mckinley got changed to ayacucho, which is the area of the misson which is just really far away and up in the mountains.. everyone gets sick because the food is terrible.. but i am happy because i am loving ica and all that it has to offer in the food department.. for p day we get to go and eat burger king, which is great if you ask me. but anyway this week was pretty solid unfortunately my talking to people in the streets really took a down hill shot and i dont really know why.. we were able to put the rest of alex´s family with a baptismal date here on the tenth of march so that was pretty cool.. we were able to put another one of our investigators with a date for the 24th.. so we are really rolling along down here in my area. well after that not too much has happened.. we need to talk more in the streets to find the people the Lord is providing for us.. we were walking yesterday and the one person we spoke with told us that his mother in law had passed away in the morning and his wife was taking it pretty hard. so it was just to show us that the Lord is preparing people for us that we just havent been talkng to.. the whole running thing is super difficult and i learned that i still dont like it and it takes all the strength in the world to go and run..but ya things are going awesome down here in peru.. sorry if there are no cool stories this week but i have been reading a lot and living the dream down here and i cant ask for more. I love being out here and getting to know all of the new people and seeing how much one message can solve so many problems and difficulties. I know this gospel is true and that the message i get to share with everyone is the most special message that exists in this world.. i feel so blessed to have the time to learn and grow myself, and watch others plant the seed of learning and really putting forth the effort to grow. I love you all so much and thank you tons for your support and letters.. they are awesome to read.

Hellooo Family

Wowser so another week down and to be honest it was one of the fastest weeks in my life and i dont even know why.. it is incredible to me that it is already over but hey i cant hold back time so i guess i am here and writing again. This week was full of some interesting things starting with us having 11 lessons this week!!! what up that is more than double last weeks total how cool is that?? So this week we put one more person with a baptismal date and well it is hno alex from last weeks letter, and he is rolling on just like an awesome person would, in other words like me, nate, and justin as we have claimed the awesome title. haha but it was pretty crazy this week because one day my companion had to go to lima so we pretty much lost a day of teaching on that and then we had a multi zone conferance which was really cool and we talked a lot about passion desire, and diligence. it was a really good conference and the spirit was crazy strong and really helped all of us put even more in what we are doing and giving it our all. And so today i was studying this morning in mosiah 13 that talks about the commandments and all that jazz but what really drew my attention was how abinadi declares his purpose and that nothing can stop him from telling them of their iniquity and it was just really coo. i can say that i want to be able to say that nothing can stop me from declaring my purpose to all the people. This is a very awesome place to be.. So i dont know if you remember or not but a while back we had a family we were teaching, the fam. hernandez apayco. they were going to get baptized but then they had problems and it didnt look good and they were moving. it went crazy so we stopped visiting them and well yesterday we were sitting in church and who comes walking in all dressed up... the whole family,,, it was nuts and then we went and talked to them and the dad said we arent doing our part. and it was just really cool so we are trying to help them again, but slowly. they arent moving but we need to help their sons get desires to learn so we are doing what we can there... but hey that was this week and i know that this next one we are going to teach even more awesome people... oh and this part for dad and korey... i went running today... turns out i still dont like it but my companion wants to lose weight so i was like lets run... and well we went and we are going again tomorrow... hahha

lotsa love..

Happy Valentine 2012

Wow Family so there goes another week and well this week was interestingly awesome.. Let me tell you why,,, the day when my companion and I got robbed a while back, i can say the lord had a purpose in sending us to that part of our area. the funny thing is that it was to find someone that doesnt even live there. haha so that day when we were in that area (where the bishop said is the promised land, which is his choke that he always likes to say because the missionaries have never had success there) anyway my companion and i went over there and all we were doing that whole day was contacting a million people doors, people in the streets, and other crazy things that werent super effective. at the same time we were searching for the old investigators that existed in that area. we were looking for one of the directions and we had no idea where it could be. we were just walking along without any idea of where we were and we had passed like 6 nice people that i am sure we could have talked to but for some reason we didnt. all of a sudden there was a little 15 year old kid with his motorcycle and he was about to call someone from a public phone and i said, hey lets ask him where this dirrection is.. his name was alex and he told us where the direction was. we asked him for his address so we could visit him and he was like ya whatever... well fast forward to yesterday, we have been teaching alex and his mom now for a few weeks, but it is hilarious because almost every time we go to his house he has a new friend there that wants to listen.. from contacting him we have received 5 references and they are all just super awesome investigators. the one he brought yesterday was like ya i got in an accident a month or two ago and i decided i need to change my life. and well it was really cool.. I love this kid and his family and his friends and i thought about who he reminds me of and it was pretty funny cause while i was talking to him all of a sudden it came to me... he is peruvian nate!!! haha it was great! he is super like gangster type kid and his friends are worse looking, but they all have awesome desires.. it is crazy.. now even though we only have 12 investigators in our area 6 of them came to church thanks to this kid and his mom.. the other six couldnt come but they too want to progress.. so what ive learned is that our area, even though we arent loaded with people or lessons, the investigators that we have are the kind that i have always wanted in the mission.. we dont have 1 investigator that hasnt progressed at least a little bit.. i can tell you that from all of my other areas i have not had people like this.. it is incredible.. and i know with a complete surety that our area will progress into a very strong area if we keep following the spirit and talking to the people the lord wants us too. The mission really is incredible and there is no better place to learn, grow and help others do the same!
Love you all so much .. your favorite..

Hey Family....
So family this week was a little bit slow.. Not because anything bad happened, but this week we only had one lesson a day.. it was incredible even though we had a full day appointments each day.. we were only able to enter one house everyday.. it was crazy. not even lying monday through friday 1 lesson each day.. haha it is pretty funny but at the same time my companion says his legs hurt and he is tired of walking and well it is pretty understandable he just got here and we arent entering houses to sit down.. we are just walking around talking to everyone that we can.. but it was a pretty fun week at the same time because i let my companion do the contacts so that he could practice.. there were some pretty awesome contacts because it was just super direct like this is us and what we have to say.. so i got suggested for him to be a little more open and just talk to the people and enjoy it.. haha but this week we were unable to baptize the family hernandez apayco.. because the dad and one of the sons is in nazca and they dont understand the importance of coming back.. but we are trying to find the people the Lord has prepared for us and we do have some good investigators.. we are working hard and the lord will bless us if we keep putting in all of our effort!! hope you all have a great week and find some people that maybe you could help. And lastly tomorrow if i remember right it is Emmas Birthday!!!! Happy Birthday Emma.. hope you have a great day and an even better year!! oh and also it is my brothers birthday.. happy birthday jeff..... love you tons brother work hard..´
Love you all so much and i hope you are all reading the scriptures.. they will help you everyday be better and know something for that day to work on and think about..
