Peru, Week 2.

MOMMY so I'm not going to lie this week has been the hardest week in my life!!! Like for real. It’s been a struggle but I came out of it for the best I come to the conclusion that my mission is every thing to me and I’m so sad I only have 23 months left. So the first week here was so legit then I got culture shock and I was way down on my self for not knowing Spanish. But not only that it like the whole week was just so hard to do anything I was just ugh hard week. So just way not me this week for the fist part of the week. So one night I was in my room and I can only sleep like 3 hours a night. Like its really hard but in the depth of despair and I was really ready to return home. I retired from my scriptures to my thoughts. As I sat in deep contemplation. The thought dawned on me. Satan must know that I will be an instrument in the lord’s hands not only on my mission but in the rest of my life. Why else would so much opposition arise at such a young age at ones life? I pondered more and more about this. I got to see one elder actually go home and I was to the point were I wanted to follow him. But that line hit my heart. Why else would opposition hit me at such a young age¨? He must know that I will do many great things on my mission and in my life. If I stay dedicated to the covenants life is predicated on covenants if we follow them we will recieve. So it was probably like 3 in the morning I then turned to my blessing and it said the same thing that I was pondering. You will serve a mission for the lord. Next few lines you will hold responsibility in the church and the lord will help you fulfill your many callings... never has such line on paper affected me. The spirit was so strong. So while in this principle of joy no longer depressed I realized opposition will always be there! Maybe I won’t sleep my whole mission. But it’s all on how I perceive the world. The next day I woke up with a smile on my face and went to work. I love my mission now!! MY MISSION IS MY LIFE: it’s the only time I can do this work. This message will change lives! It’s true I know it’s true. So endure to teach and have the Holy Ghost I need to be happy. So I totally changed my attitude and now I love my mission. The Spanish is bad but patience is really important it will come with effort and time. So I have learned that it’s all about me and I love the mission its all in attitude. But here is the cool part. I feel like I’m on an island. The next day after I decided to be happy I got a dear elder from dad. And it was really really really sweet and it like just added to the spritualness of this week. Like I don’t know how to explain it. I was ready to go home and give up but now I realize that the lord will help me with any thing! So I love my mission!!! mí mission es mí vida. The español is coming along I know a little. So yeah now life really really great. We went tracking and my pray was answered. You haven’t seen poor. My world was shocked. we went out for a hole day and I only talked to 2 people like that would let us in. one was just a lady and I didn’t understand a word that she said but when we left the house I decided to bear testimony and that is what I did. I was like all in espoñal I know that god loves you, I love you. I felt it when I walked into your house and it was so amazing I feel so good! The next story just opened my eyes up to how blessed I am. Like my awesome parents my house my dog and just the suits I have. I was tracking and knocked on this door they let us in and it was a family living in room. One room with no roof. 4 walls. Dirt floor. No beds like there were blankets on the floor and then they were cooking over an open fire. And eh guy had only one leg. I was like god loves us and does watch over us what do you think. the man was like I know he watches over me I’m grateful to have my clothes and my one leg and like he said everything he had. But I was like that is nothing. It was so eye opening to see that! So amazing. I love it just telling him about the plan of salvation lite up his soul and he was really interested. This joy is real. They don’t have much but there is always room for the gospel in any situation it was so amazing. I can’t wait to get out of the ccm so I can track and teach every day ha but I need to learn the Spanish first. There are bed bugs and dad WILL LOVE THIS STORY. An elder found a bat in his room so he decided to hold in and take a picture with it. The bat bit his figure tip. We had to call a doctor from salt lake to fly out and give him a shot for rabbis. But the shot had to be injected and the bite site. So just like jail break. He got a shot in his finger! oh thats so crazy!!!!. But I love my mission its every thing to me. I decided to lose my self and go to work. The people are so nice and this message will reach the hearts of many. I mean I’m going to teach the children of lehi! I know that they will accept this message Piura is really accepting. This gospel will change many lives. I had to go to Peru to discover the true meaning of god and the atonement but if this is all I get out of my mission I’m so happy. I know the atonement is real and god does love me. If I don’t get a baptism I will come to know Jesus my savoir and that is a huge gift in its self. I love this church I know I know its true with all my heart. Lima is amazing people every where and tippy is every where in the street it was really cool every dog I saw. Tippy tippy. so that’s a plus hehe. The gospel is really true. And I know the atonement is true. The atonement covers all and if we take up the cross we can and will receive eternal life! That’s the most amazing message. We don’t have a lot to teach and it doesn’t take much time but we can change people’s lives with just 2 minutes of there time and they will want to hear more. I’m glad you fed the missionaries that would love the food. I love the food here. Watch out for my brothers serving in Roosevelt. Give them junk food they would love that I Miss American food ha ha. Thanks for the support on my mission and pushing on in the church the church is true and happy 4th yesterday glad it was good. One down 23 left sad face. I love you all. The story about Jaden is awesome. Porn will destroy the soul way proud of that. Worldly glory will be shattered at the day of the second coming let them make fun of him. Every person will confess Jesus is the Christ. I love you so much. Happy p day !!!!!!!!!!
