Wow!!! The experiences that I'm having here are really changing my life and I LOVE IT!! This week we have been working really hard and being obedient. I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to talk to you guys through Skype yesterday. It was awesome to see how proud you guys are of me but at the same time in my heart and I could see the peace that the house had. Really I'm so blessed to have an awesome family.

This week was interesting and exciting at the same time. There's been ups and downs but I know for a fact that the Lord never does anything unless its for the benefit of the world. 

2 Nephi 26:24 

24 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him.Wherefore,  

he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.

I'm so blessed for my Savior Jesus Christ and his atonement. His atonement literally saved all man kind and has brought salvation to all his children here on earth and everywhere. 

This weeks I have noticed that I haven't been sad for one second. Sometimes I got frustrated but never got sad or mad. I really wondered and pondered why I was so happy? This happiness only comes to those who do something specific just like Ammon said to us in Alma 27:17-18 

 17 Now the joy of Ammon was so great even that he was full; yea, he was swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength; and he fell again to the earth.

 18 Now was not this exceeding joy? Behold, this is joy which none receiveth save it be the truly penitent and humble seeker of happiness.

No one receives this joy unless the one who truly repententh unto the Lord and trust in the Lord with all thine heart. HE has really blessed me through out my whole mission and I have seen his had in my life. I thank him ever night and when I open my heart to him. The holy ghost confirms it to me he's there. My conversations with him have been more clear more precise and I know that he is my best friend.

Like Joseph Smith in Doctrine and Covenants 93:45 Truly the Lord is our friend when we are loyal to him.

 45 Verily, I say unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., or in other words, I will call you friends, for you are my friends,and ye shall have an 

inheritance with me—

Dad you were right. You are my best friend and God is our best friend also. I love this gospel so much and really now I understand what it means to be a loyal servant to him. We should always smile in this life no matter what like Jesus said always "Ten buen animo" or in other words "Be of good cheer" If Jesus said it and he was perfect which I know he's perfect than he said it for a reason.

This week is going to even better and I know it. We are planning to have 2 baptisms on the 23rd of this month. Thanks for your prayers and I'm always praying for you mom and dad. Love you guys so much. 

We will see what happens this week. Every week is different and exciting!!! Oh also I felt a little earthquake which was awesome haha but don't worry its all good here in Peru haha. 

Talk to you later.
