hola querido familia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the mission is the best experiance ever!!!!!!!!! like no joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WEEK WAS AWEOSME!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmmm where to start. i guess p day despues when i wrote you guys! me and elder swasey went home and we made a castle! it was so awesome we made a castle out of boxexes and we put it around planning station. so every night when we plan we plan in a castile of boxes its so so so aweosme im not going to lie! elder swasey is so cool!!! so after p day we had a miltie zone confference. and the zone had to plan a 20 minute talk thing on how can we motivate the zone and keep baptising and we planned well elder swaswey planned an actividad con paneton. its that really gross bread that every eats for christmas. any way we were talking about a elder of success has to love the mesage and we did a example with the paneton. and like the missionary has to love the message and treat it with respect or people wont see the importacia of it. so like we had some one come up and elder swasey just reached in with his hand got a piece of bread and crummpled it up and through it at the elder. then we asked every one if they wanted more and they said no. so we called some one else out and we cut a slice out got down on one knee and gave it to tehm. but there is a huge differece if the elders love the message and how they present it. so taht went really really well the milti zone confericia. then after that we jsut went back to normal work and we kept working and we love our area and stuff.

we had 5 baptisums in the zone this week and here is the cool part i did my FIRST INTERVIEW in the whole mission. it was so amazing. the sister was so prepared to be baptised. and i felt the spirt there crazy and it guieded my words and it was a amazing experience to have for my first intervciew. then later that day i did my second interview, and the same thing happened it was guieded by the holy ghost. and its such amazing expericane to have in my life.

then latter that week wait... yesterday we did changes with the assitents and i wnet to my first area!!!!!!!!! i went with elder chica to algarrobos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was crazy!! it was walking down memoriy lane we were walking and i was explaning where all the people i taught lived and i saw one of them out side but i couldnt talk to them casue its not my area we were only walking through. but i did a work vist with an assitante and i learned so much for him. but for a while i went to algarrobos and walked down memoria lane. it was such an amazing experiance to talk and teach with an assitante it was a great experriacne.

so its jsut really cool im really happy and learning alot about life and jsut learning about the misison. i lvoe it elder swasey is a really cool elder! im learning alot form him. some bad news i have to go to the dentist. but i will jsut pay for it all in cash. before i left you gusy gave me like 2 or 3 hunder dollars for travel and i didnt spend any of that till now and i will get it changed into soles and it will be enough to pay for the dentist. i dont know what happened. i think for last year after my filling on of the fillings was to tall so every time i bit down my jaw wasnt flat and i just started this week really hurthing and my whole jaw hirst like crazy but after this im going to the dentist and i will pay with cash. but DONT WORRY MOM IM FLOSSING EVERY NIGHT AND I BRUSH 4 TIMES A DAY. so its shouldnt bhe a cavity it should jsut be the filing thing cuase its my whole jaw that reallly hurts.

but life is good im really happy to be here! i love the word our investagators bug me a little bit. they are turrning away for god after they have felt it. but thats okay it will be a cool story for them. i was so hard to acept the truth at first but here i am. so wie will just keep working with them. we ahve been fasting and praying alot for them and sunday was the zone fast. and with our faith we will see some results. i know that we will see some resulsts of our faith and i k now that we can reach our goal. we have been praying alot.

side note elder trudo from the mtc my comapion he was form snow college and he wants to room with me when i get home so he told me to to tell you guys that at snow college the rooms park place are really cool and thats wehre he is going. to stay and iwant to be roomates with him that would be a really sweet ivorment to go home to we could have our study in companion and personal. and everyting.

man im trying to be the person that the lord wants and elder chica told me taht the most imporant thing about being a leader is taht people follow you, and thas why the lord chose to be a leader of zone in piura central that people follow me, and with that in mind you allways have to do the right 100 perciento del tiempo. always do the right and i need to work on that no? i need to be more humble and pacience and lead by exapmle. but i know that the lord has good things en store for the zone and for me and im jsut super happy elder swasey is an awsoem guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im learning alot about everything how to be a leader h ow to teach by the sprit and im learning. i know this churhc is ture.

para terminar..... alma 48..............

this chapter talkes about capitan moroni and how if every man was like him the devel wouldnt have power but something else in the same chapter it talks about the bad king but there is a huge differece. moroni went form town to town preparing there minds! wqhile the bad king got up on a tower and just shouted at all the lamainties that the nefitas are bad and sinnets and kill them.

a lot of the thime there are things that are fighting for our mind. moroni prepared the mind of his people.. its a war today with our thougths and satian is in the tower yhelling there are a lot fo bad stuff in music tv that we think is really atractive and that gets our attentcion. but we need to be prepareing our minds every day. and i know thats ture if we read and pray and go to chruch WHITH OUT fail we will have a stronger mind to overcome sin. let us be like moroni and prepare the mind of oour people and our lives

i know this chruch is ture. and the mission is aweosme. the first of may there will be a consejo de zona ! im realy excited and i want you guys to k now that i love you so much. have a AWSOME week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shout our from peru!!!!!!!!!!!!! call me back!!!!!!!!!!!!! love elder libberton.

bueno............. this change has been so crazy i havent got to unpack yet!!!!!!!!!!! but hopefully today after we buy our food and clean our room...... im in the area santa juila! its not hard to adjust any more cause if you go to work you can do what ever the lord wants you to do. so i will jsut start for the begging of this crazy story and i have never been so tired in my life lol........ so the day before changes the presidenet called my zone leaders and said that i had to go to the meeting of changes like 30 minutes ealry so yeah normal we wenbt as we were told early............. then the assitents came into the chruch and said that the preisendt wanted to talk to me. so i was like a little scared. but yeah so i walked into a room with him and he asked me

are you awake.... i was like no hahah cause i twas like 7 30 but i woke up at like 5 to pack for the changes cuase in the night we were palnning and i was filling my compaion in on the area and all the stuff. any way so i lwas like no he siad i will wkae you up.... are you worthy of your temple recomand i siad yes. then he said willl you acept the assiment to serve as a leader of zone. i said yes and then he was like are you awake now and then i said yes. ha it was funny! but im here in santa juila leader of the zone. and this a huge trust fomr the lord but here is the other cool part. i got the my comapmion elder swasey!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he is going home in 2 mounths and he told me i set a goal like i prayed i felt this goal is ture and we can do it if we work hard. i wanted to bapitese 21 more. and then i asked him how many he has bpatiesed and he told me 1....... i want elder swasey to get that goal he is such a good elder. so i thought that if we are going to get this goal we need the lords help. so the first day of the change we fasted for help to get his goal 20 people to help in 2 and a half mounths. so we fasted the first day.... and we are jsut trying to focus in our people and our zone, and for real this is the law of consegracion i have never been so focused in people or leccons and planing. but im tyring to be the best misionary i can be to be humble and turst all that i can in the lord casue if elder swasey and i do ALL THAT wew can the lord will bless us with the 20 people that are lookin gfor the truth. but we have to do all that we can. we are working really hard and the zone is doing well. i have never had to do something like this before and irs really stress full but i just need to trust in the lord with all i have with all!

there was a monutain climber who wanted to climb the mountain but he wanted to be first and so we went up at night and all day. and as he was climbing at night thogurgh the ice and snow he fell. and while he was faling he thought of all the good and bad times that he had throuh the life. and as he was falling he was praying he asked to be saved. father save me. and sudenly he stoped falling.. casue when he was climing he nailed in like pegs and to hold the rope. so as he was hanging there in the night freezing cold noting but dark. the only thing holding him form his death was the rope. he prayed agiang. father save me. and the answear came. CUT THE ROPE. he could not do it. the answer came agiang CUT THE ROPE. he ignored it CUT THE ROPE! he ignored it. the next day he was found froze to death haning 1 meter above the ground.

if we dont follow the spirt cut the rope we will freeze to death. this world is full of lots of bad things but if we dont cut the rope and give those things up we will freeze to death spirtually and we cant be saved.

im trying to give all that i have to sereve my area and the zone and elder swasey to get his goal of 20 persons but i will be have to cut the rope and be a missionary that lets it all go behind and cuts the rope. i dont know how to run a zone or be a leader with words i need to let somethings go and jsut give it all i have. sometimes im not good at listined to the spirt casue it is a small voices. 1 kings 19:12 i know this church is ture and i want to give it all i have with elder swasey to help with the zone and help him get his goal. moroni 7: i dont remeber the verse but if we have faith we can do all things that are conving unto god.

have a sweet week! i should be able to skype mothers day!
