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,

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
