Kelliann's Birthday Week

What it is Family!!! So this week was really awesome.. Not gonna lie it flew really fast! on tuesday we had a multi zone conference and that was really cool, President Douglas really wants us to work with the members better here in lima and in the mission south, And then on thursday we had a good service as a zone and so that was cool, we moved the storage room of the mission to another part, so that was normal, and then on friday we had a little reunion with 700 missionaries in lima and Elder D. Todd Cristofferson, It was really cool, i will just touch on the main point that he had for us.. What is Repentance?? is the question he asked, Why do the scriptures say that we are called to preach repentance and nothing else.. and so it was actually pretty cool because the whole world got up and said something,, and i didnt want to get up so i told my companion something so he would get up and then he did.. and then the answer i told him was right!! haha i won.. i was like because when somebody repents they are applying the atonement to their lives and then they are able to receive forgiveness.. so that was awesome because i felt good that i wasnt just making something up.. So then this week we were able to get 5 investigators in the church and we also had 2 less actives come, so that was really good.. We are really feeling about the work here in the area not gonna lie.. we are working hard to get this area back up to where it should be, because before this ward had 4 missionaries and then they stopped working and so they took 2 out and so we are trying to animate them to do the work. So things are really going fast trying to get all of them moving!! and it is working we, found two families of less actives that are in the process of getting active, and also we are using all of the future missionaries to help us in the work, showing them the mission is fun and that the work is fun and not easy. I love this gospel and i have really been able to see how much the gospel has helped me open up to the people and be able to talk to them and really get the people to love what we have.. You need to show that the gospel is like a nice cake that they want.. if we dont show that we have something that they dont,, why in the world are they going to want to listen to missionaries. its impossible.. we need to live a higher standard and show the happiness that we have.. I love this gospel and being able to share these things with the people here in my new area in chorrillos.. i still feel new here so that is cool!! Well that was my week and i know this gospel is true,, have a great week i love you all.. and... Happy Birthday Reagan ann!!! i am super happy that you came to our family,, which is the best on earth as you already knew before you came that is why you chose us.. right?? haha HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALSO TO MY FAVORITE SISTER!!!! i am so happy that you are moving home kelli, so that me and justin can help you find somebody special just for you, because we all know the Lord has to have someone super awesome and good for my sister! I love you so much kelli you have helped me stay animated in the mission with your letters each week.. and i also wouldnt exist if you hadnt begged mom and dad for me,, so i have you to thank for many things.. love you so much..
