1/8/18 - I Love This Gospel!

This week was great! We are working hard and we are seeing a lot of good stuff happen in our area. We are teaching and helping a family who aren't married but their son is on a mission in Chile. We have to marry them to baptize them and for the last 25 years they have said that marriage means nothing - it's just a piece of paper and they were never going to do it. We taught them the plan of salvation and the spirit testified that they need to be an eternal family, they need to follow God. They are starting the process and they'll be married in the first part of next month! I love this gospel! I love helping people. Man it's just the best. 

Elder Stodmeister and I played 1 on 1 and we played without shoes. I think my toes are going to fall off from the blisters hahahaha

It's my brother's birthday on the 10th - please give him a big ole hug or kiss! He's 18! I love you Josh!

I love this country. Our ward is the best - all the members love us. Please please pray for Moises Nieto, he is going to be baptized this week. My first day in Huaura we visited a less active named Juan Carlos. He was baptized in Argentina and he fell away and now is covered in tattoos and is really lost. We are helping him and found out his dad is not a member. He is so sweet - he can't read or write, grew up an orphan, and had a stroke and can't really walk very well but i love him man. His friends are just the worst and his wife doesn't want him to be baptized but he comes to church every week alone and always asks us if we can come over. The people of Peru are just the best. I love this church! I love this gospel! I love this mission! I love my SAVIOR!

Love,
