This week has been full of work and exciting ups but also downs. Their has to be opposition in all things. Actually this week went really well for us. We found a couple of families and they are pretty cool.

We have been working hard helping the Lord on his work here on earth. This week me and my companion have been contacting a lot of families that are walking on the street. We have found one that permitted us to go by and teach something. We will see how it goes this week. I cant believe we are half way through changes already. It's the 21st WOW. In three weeks I get moved to a new area and with a new companion. I don't think I will be able to finish the training of my second son. Its ok he will be ready before I leave.

Im happy to have gotten the opportunity of watching the dedication of a temple. I have never seen one before but yesterday I got the opportunity to hear Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar. The temple of Trujillo was dedicated yesterday and the people are rejoicing with happiness. An apostle once said "When a temple is built the hell found pit shakes with fear and the doors tremble and close" The temples give us power and authority in the world to be close to God and his Son.

Now I understand being here in a mission the importance of going into the temple. Now I have the opportunity to teach my knowledge to others that don't know how families can be forever. I'm grateful and so happy that the Lord has but my with such a wonderful family here on earth. Before the mission I have taken everything at church for granted and the family I have. Here in Peru many families are destroyed and many are created with not a stable foundation. We as missionaries bring that foundation to the people which is our savior Jesus Christ. We sometimes feel sad when the people don't read or ask God because it could truly change their lives.

We will be working hard this week to find more families. Love you guys and today we are making french toast and playing soccer so we will be fine.


I'll talk to you soon.
