Well family hows it going?

Wow time flies by today are changes and well my companion has a change. This change has been one of the best changes weve worked so hard and have helped the missionaries progress way more this week. We have had some changes in the zone and well we are excited for the new missionaries that will be coming here. I still dont know who my companion will be but this might be my last companion in the mission hahaha which is weird to think about. We will see what happens. We have seen a progress in the zone these last weeks on how to help the missionaries out in their conversion. There has been some disobedience here and there but all in all the missionaries are improving and getting better at what they do.

Also I want to say happy fathers day dad. Thank you for being such a loving father to me....here in the mission i have counted my many blessings and i'm so grateful that the Lord has put me in such a great family. We are so blessed from him and I'm giving him all I got to pay him as a tithing by serving him. I miss being with you and hearing your jokes hahaha. Thank you for being such a great example to me and for teaching me the ways of the Lord in my teenage years. Thanks for the patience you've had with me and the love I have felt from you telling me that you love me and that I'm your best friend. I want to let you know dad that you are one of my heros.....I love you tooo and you are my best friend. Thanks for the many blessings that through your obedience the Lord has given you. We will see each other soon and Im looking forward to it.

Well today I would just like to write you some comments about my area and my missionaries. My areas name is 17 de Noviembre its in the district of Independencia. Its really close to the offices and we are a zone of 16 missionaries. The assistants are in my zone and we verify if they are reaching their goals. This week we have seen some progress in how they are helping more people come to church. We are excited to keep helping the zone reach their potential. This week I have been imploring the Lord for more knowledge on how to improve the zone and help more people repent. Since Elder Rasband came and talked to us how this is the biggest harvesting here in Peru we need to think of new ways to help other people.

In our area we have a family that is progressing that the sister is married to someone else and she is living with another guy. We are helping them do their papers to get divorced so that they can get married.  We are helping as many people as we can to come unto Christ and to repent. We are teaching with a lot of love but at the same time correcting people so they may understand the bad they are doing.

I love this work and I love being the lords hands here in Peru. Im really excited to serve him and get to love him. I have gotten to know Him by serving Him and I will always try to follow his example in all the things I do. I know he lives and that the marks in his hands represent the love he has for us. I will keep you informed and we will be talking pretty soon.

Till next week
