Well,
this is it! This is officially my last week here in Lima, Peru as a
missionary and representative of Jesus Christ. I feel so blessed for
have being called to serve these great people, I definitely feel like my
heart is going to stay here in Lima, but I also have faith that the Lord
will bless me in whatever comes next. </div>

Elder
de la Flor and I have been giving it all we got lately, we have been
working super hard and have found several great new families to teach
and to possibly baptize in the near future. Christian and Melisa have
been passing a few family problems as well as John and Elizabet, but
they have still been coming to church and reading the Book of Mormon and
praying. The little things is what is keeping them together. </div>

I am
so grateful for the gospel in my life, it has made me a better, more
hopeful, and much happier person. I really do know that Jesus Christ is
our Savior and that the Book of Mormon testifies of Him and convinces us
of His divine nature to be able to heal us in every way possible. I know
that José Smith was really a prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is a
living day prophet. The gospel of Jesus Christ really does work!</div>

This
week was super awesome! Elder de la Flor and I had a lot of success and
we now have 6 investigadores with a baptismal date for the 24 of
September (my mission birthday)! It is going to rain in September! (I think he means it is going to rain baptisms!) Those
that are going to be baptized are Christian and Melisa and their 14 year
old daughter Ana Claudia, the other family is Jhon and Elizabet and
their 12 year old son Fabian. They are so great and excited to be
baptized. They went to a ward party with the Obispo Albujar on Friday
night and they loved it! They told us that it really surprised them because they thought that it was prohibited to dance in the church, that
was kind of funny. They all came to church on Sunday as well as 3 other
investigadores. It was a good week. </div>

Also,
I think I have an addiction to food from the selva because for lunch on Wednesday we found an awesome selva restaurant, so we ate tacacho con
cecina y chorizo de la selva. It was awesome! Also, Jhon and Elizabet
are from the selva and also have fried bananas in their house that they
give us, its the best. </div>

This
was another great week for Elder de la Flor and I here in Santa Isabel!
We kicked it off by going to San Juan de Lurigancho on Monday. We got permission from the assistants to go to get some suits down and it brought
back A LOT of memories. We had to pass by one of my favorite areas, Los
Manzanos to get there and it made me remember a lot of people, converts,
and friends that I had left behind in that area. I came to become
friends with so many great people there that put their trust in the Lord
and in His Atonement to be able to change their lives. I'm grateful for
missionary work and the Atonement, it really does change peoples lives
for the better. </div>

I have
also got an update on Christian and Melisa for this week. Last Friday
Melisa went through a surgery that left her on bed rest and she can't
really move at all, so we couldn't get them written into the wedding for
this month. They're going to be getting married and baptized at the end
of September. Even though I won't be here for those two big events, I
have seen great changes in them and in their family. They read the Book
of Mormon every day and have gained a testimony of it. Just as I know
the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet, they also
know it. They have came so much closer to God by reading the Book of
Mormon, it is the secret to happiness. </div>

This
week we worked really hard and were able to find a few new families to
teach. They weren't able to come to church but I know that if we can
teach them again this week and get them to read the Book of Mormon they
will come. </div>

I
cant believe how fast the time flies by! Elder de la Flor and I had
another super awesome week! Last Sunday one of Elder de la Flors
converts from his last area called him and told him that they had family
that lived in our area that wanted to hear the gospel and get to know
the church. Their names are Jhon y Elizabet. They have two sons, their
names are Fabian (12) and Renson(5). When we taught them the Restoration
the Spirit was so strong! Then we went back and we taught them a little
more about the Book of Mormon and they promised to pray and ask God if
the book is true. It is amazing to me how the Spirit works, he answers us
in such personal ways that it makes it evident that God knows and loves
His children. They came to church yesterday and they loved it! We are
preparing them to get married and baptized in September. </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471268272016_21218">
We
also had a miracle happen this week after we had done everything we
could. We found Christian and Melisa the first week of the change and
they wanted to get married and baptized but the last day to write them
into the marriage for this month was last Thursday. But we did all we
could. We made tons of phone calls with some leaders and we got all of
the documents ready and legalized right on time, but there was one thing
missing....la partida de nacimiento of Christian (who is de Trujillo,
about 8 hours from Lima). We prayed and prayed for the municipalidad
(the city basically) to give us more time. And they did! They are giving
us up until today to write them in! God really does answer our prayers
and work miracles in our lives after we have done all we can. Es por la
gracia de Cristo que nos salvamos, después de haber hecho cuanto
podamos.</div>

Esta
semana fue lo máximo! This week was awesome, it was easily one the best
weeks I have had on my mission! On Tuesday I received my new companion,
Elder de la Flor from Chimbote, Perú and we have already become really
great friends and a great missionary team. We knew each other a little
bit when we were in the same zone in Canto Chico. </div>

This
week was filled with miracles and blessings as well because of work
that we have done. Our first day together we went up on the hill to look
for an old contact that I did with Elder Landero named Christian, but we
couldn't find him. We felt that we should go back down the hill which
didn't make much sense to us because sometimes it can be quite the job
to go up the hills, but we decided to be obedient to the voice. We went
down, and guess who was there? Christian Y su esposa Gabriela! They let
us share a short message with them in that moment and invited us to come
by their house the following day. We went, but only Grabriellas dad was
there. His name is also Christian. He let us come in and share a quick
message with him and he loved it! He invited us to come by the next day,
we went, and his wife Melissa was there as well as her daughter Ana
Claudia! Long story short, they invited us to come by their house every
day last week and Christian, Melisa, and Ana Claudia came to church on
Sunday as well as 4 other investigadores! They are really thinking about
baptism now, were going to have to marry them but that wont be a problem
because there is ward members in Sta. Isabel that have family members
from where they are from that could send their partidas de nacimiento
here to Lima. </div>

This
week has passed by super fast! And a lot has happened as well! Our zone
finished of the month fairly well with 17 baptisms, we were hoping to
finish with a little bit more, but a few of the families we were trying
to get married didn't quite get there. But the good thing is that they are
going to be married and baptized this month. Our area is also marching
along, yesterday we had 3 investigadores in church, so that really got
me excited to give Santa Isabel all I got this change. </div>

Speaking
of changes.... Elder Landero has a change, he is going to be going to the
offices as President Godfrey's secretary, he's pretty excited. My new
companion is going to be Elder de la Flor from Chimbote, Peru and I am
super excited to work with him! I knew him when were in Canto Chico and
we became pretty good friends. At that time he was a new missionary but
he has really progressed a lot and were going to be serving as zone
leaders, it is going to be awesome! There is also a ton of other changes in
the zone and there is going to be 2 new missionaries so its going to be a
great opportunity to train and help the zone progress. One of my best
companions and friends, Elder Jesus, is also finishing his mission
today. </div>

This
week we also had a special meeting with President Godfrey, the assistants,
and the zone leaders from Magnolias and Canto Grande about a couple of
changes that are going to be happening in the mission. With President
Erickson we verified with the district leaders every night to see how
their investigators were doing, to verify their indicadores and to see
how the missionaries were doing personally, but now were only going to be
verifying on Sundays. It is a big change, but it is going to help our
district leaders learn to be more self sufficient. It is going to be an
interesting change. </div>

Another
week has came and gone, every week just passes by faster and faster and

happened. </div>

To
kick it all off, we went to a zoo for our p-day, which is a big deal in
our mission because theres not much to do for p-day except play futbol.
But we received special permission this week to go to El Parque de las
Leyendas en San Miguel, its a huge zoo here in Lima and it was awesome!
Ill send a few pictures for ya'll! </div>

Also,
this week a family of 5, la familia Trejo (Jose, Nancy, Grecia, Arnold,
y Friseli) was baptized in our zone! They are not from my area but I've
gotten to know them because of the interview that I've done with them.
I have said it before, but every time I interview someone I always feel the
power of the Atonement working in the hearts and souls of the people.
The Spirit is always so strong! It was a great moment for us to witness
their baptisms. I don't have pictures because I forgot my camera, but it
was awesome. Also, Jose, the dad has my birthday! He is only the 2nd
person that I know that has my birthday. </div>

This
was a very eventful week for us here in Santa Isabel! We finished up
the process of looking for the partidas of 2 couples in order for them
to get married and baptized this week and it all turned out well! I was
also able to interview many of the family members of those two families
(la familia Trejo and Calderon) and theyre awesome! I love interviewing
investigadores, its always a testimony to me that the Atonement has no
limits; it redeems every sinner that wants to repent and follow the
Savior. </div>

Chinga, one of the assistants, came on a work visit with us this week
and talked to us about a few changes that President Godrey wants to make in
the mission, like only sharing the first lesson (the Restoration) in 15
minutes the first visit and a few other things. It was a good visit and
we found a lot of new investigadores. It was fun to be with Elder Chinga
because he is from my group, it was nice to talk about old times jaja. </div>

This
was another good week here in Santa Isabel. We were super busy with
work visits and running and looking around for partidas de nacimiento
(birth certificates) to marry and baptize about 5 families in our zone.
Its been crazy! But with the grace of God nothing is impossible. I have been
thinking a lot about that this week; just how powerful the grace of God
really is. After doing all we can (after having looked for partidas for
hours and making endless phone calls to different government buildings
all over Peru) small miracles are happening to make it possible to marry
these families so that can keep the law of chastity and be baptized. I
feel like I've learned a lot this week about grace and that it will only
help us and work miracles in our lives after we have literally done all
we can. I am so grateful for Jesucristo and the love that He shares with
each and every one of us. I really do know that He is our Savior. </div>

I
was also able to interview one of the investigators from the Progreso
area. His name is Kevin. He is only 24 but has had a pretty rough life.
The Spirit was super strong in the interview as we talked about the
doctrine of Christ. He has made very big changes in his life. At one time
he considered himself to be atheist, but as he began to look for more
meaning in his life, little by little he began to change. He now believes in God and wants to be baptized! It is amazing what a little bit
of faith does when you put it to the test! </div>

It
was also our first Consejo Misional with Presidente. Godfrey and it was a lot
different than our Consejos misionales with Presidente Erickson! They are very
different personality wise but I know that Presidente Godfrey is going to be
great. He loves to interact with the missionaries. For example, on
Thursday he called us just to pass us a reference, it was pretty cool to
see him so excited about missionary work and to see that he is totally
into his calling. Tomorrow our zone has interviews with him and Hermana
Godfrey is going to do the room revisions. </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1468446484383_4037">
So,
this week was an interesting one! First of all, Presidente Godfrey came
on Wednesday to introduce himself and his family to our zona and to San
Felipe. He is a lot different than Pdte. Erickson, but were excited to
have him here. It was crazy, as we was introducing us to his family I
found out that I competed against his son Harrison in cross country! He
ran for Ogden High, it is crazy to have someone so close to home as my
mission president! He is really cool. Hermana Godfrey doesn't speak much Spanish and neither do their kids, but they are all really cool and good
people. </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1468446484383_4108">
Also,
another exciting thing...this week as a zone we had 48 people come to
church! Our zone is super excited to work durazo (super hard!) to reach
our goal of 30! It is the highest goal that we've ever put, but it
reachable and were excited to get it! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1468446484383_4109">
<br /></div>
<div>
Two
weeks ago it was our stake conference so this week I finally got to
know the ward members a little better, so that was also exciting for me.
There are a lot of great members, but the ward in general needs sooooooo
much help! There are only about 4 elderes that actively attend church.
There is looots of work to do. But that also motivated me to "ponerme la
pilas" and get to work! </div>

Well,
this week sure was interesting! I've only been out of Retablo for a week
and I already miss it! I love the mission, but if there's one thing that
makes me kind of sad sometimes, its the changes. I'm really going to
miss Obispo Manuel Fernandez and his wife, Fanny, the Familia Benavides
de Chavez and several other people. I learned a lot in that area. But
the good thing is that things move on and that my new ward is great!</div>

I'm
kinda short on time right now, so I'll write a lot more next week, but
this area is a gold mine and we are going to have a lot of success here.
It is also the biggest zone in the mission, there are 22 missionaries here in
Santa Isabel and Carabayllo so it is going to be a great opportunity to
help other missionaries. </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3271">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3273">
This
was an incredibly great week for Elder Iglesias and I! We had several
exciting things happen in our area and in our zone. First of all, one of
our super awesome recent converts in Retablo, Josefa Chavez, finished
up one year of being a member and was sealed to her husband on Thursday
and we there to witness it. Rafael was baptized on Saturday. I attended
the best Stake conference Ive ever been to on Sunday. And, last of all,
I'm leaving Retablo tomorrow to be a zone leader in Santa Isabel with
Elder Landero de Mexico. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3115">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3088">
So,
first of all, Elder Iglesias and I went to Hermana Josefa´s sealing on
Thursday and it was a super awesome experience. It was the second
sealing that Ive been to on my mission, but this one was a little
different. A year or two ago Josefas husband passed away, he never knew
the restored gospel, so as this past year has come and go, he was
baptized and confirmed in the temple, and on thursday, the time finally
came that they were able to be sealed for time and all eternity with two
of their daughters that had also passed away. It was a super spiritual
experience for every one there. She also asked me to be one of the
witnesses of her sealing and it was another testimony to me that
families really can be together forever if we make, keep, and honor our
covenants. Its only through covenants that we make with our Heavenly
Father that we can experience the power of the Atonement in our lives.
I'm so grateful for the temple, I really do know that its la Casa del
Señor. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3284">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3286">
Another
exciting thing that happened here in Retablo this past week was that
Rafael Araujo Prícipe was baptized! We've worked super hard with him
these last few weeks as hes prepared to be baptized. He was so ready to
be baptized and I know that hes going to make an awesome convert. Hes
going to be confirmed this week because on Sunday we had stake
conference. We taught him yesterday about the priesthood and temple work
and hes super excited to be a part of it and help his family become an
eternal family. I'll send some pictures of the baptism in another email
apart from this one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3288">
Thirdly,
we had a killer stake conference on Sunday! The entire Stake Presidency
was reorganized so Elder Montoya and Elder Mestre from the Quorum of the
Seventy came to speak and announce the changes. Presidente Soto, the ex
stake president, was easily the best stake president that I've had on my
mission, he was so supportive with la obra misional. Im sure that the
new one, Presidente Romaní is also going to be awesome. But for me the
high light was Elder Hugo Montoya´s talk. It was out of the park! He
spoke about the importance of putting God first and keeping the Sabbath
day holy. He owns one the biggest tortilla factories in Mexico and he
spoke about how when the company started everyone asked him if he was
going to open it on Sundays, he always said no. His wife even asked him
if he would open on Sundays, but he said no. He promised her that the
Lord would bless them for it, and they were. It turned out that on
Saturdays, everyone bought double of tortillas because they were so
good and their company grew to be one of the biggest in Mexico. He used
many more examples to teach everyone this principle. It was very
impactful for me. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3290">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3292">
Sorry
for the long email, I know Mom loves it though. Just one more thing
though... I'm getting changed! Ive worked super hard here with Elder
Iglesias and were so united as a zone and in July were going to have so
much success, but I know the Lord does everything for a reason. I'm going
to be going to Santa Isabel with Elder Landero as a zone leader. Its
the biggest zone in the mission so I'm pretty excited to see what we can
do! Also, one of my best friends, Elder Dority, is going to take my spot
here in Retablo, he is going to do awesome with Elder Iglesias! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466882368386_3295">

This
last week as awesome! A lot of exciting things happened here in
Retablo. Elder Rasband came to visit our mission , la mission Lima
Central and the Lima Oeste missions. He was awesome! He came with his
wife and Elder Montoya and his wife (from the area presidency) also
came. Elder and Hermana Montoya talked about how the importance of being
good, Christlike people that influence others to be like Him. But the
best part was, of course, being able to listen to Elder Rasband. I have had
the opportunity to see and listen to 3 apostles and about 4 of the
seventy on my mission, but this last one was the best. We had to wake up
at 4:00 am to get to the chapel in Los Olivos on time so we could
shake Elder Rasband's hand, there were about 650 missionaries there but
shook every one of our hands. He told us that we were only "one hand
shake away from President Monson", it was kind of funny. What struck me
the most from his visit was that he was just so full of Christlike love.
His message was very clear: that he loves us, that President Monson
loves us, and that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ loves us. The
Spirit was so strong in that chapel. I feel like know I understand the
scripture in Mosiah 3:13, "Dios ha enviado a sus santos profetas para
declarar estas cosas a cada familia, nacion y lengua; para que asi,
quienes creyesen que Cristo habria de venir, ellos mismos recibiesen la
remision de sus pecados y se regocijasen con un gozo sumamente grande,
aun como si él ya hubiese venido entre ellos." When we follow the
prophets, we can truly feel Gods love for us. I definitely felt it and
know He loves me. I learned several other things about service and how
to pay closer attention to the promptings of the Spirit that I will have to
write about another time, but it was an incredible day for me and for
every other missionary that was there. (Sorry for the Spanish, I don't
know that scripture in English🙄)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465845518958_3939">
Even
though this week was awesome, there were a few crazy things that
happened as well. We went to go visit Rafael A, our investigator
that was going to be baptized on Saturday,on Monday and he was really doubting baptism and told us that he wasn't sure if he wanted to go
through with it. He taught him very diligently about how to páy
attention to his feelings and the Holy Ghost and how to invite him into
his life. We went back again on Wednesday and he told us that our church
was the truest church that he has been in and the church that has made
him think most about Jesucristo. Then, on Friday we went back and he
told us "yo sé que esta es la iglesia verdadera" or "I know this the
true church" but still had a few small doubts and what not. But on
Sunday after church we went to go talk to him and he told us " estoy
listo para meterme a la piscina!" or "I'm ready to jump in the pool!".
There is nothing better than seeing someones heart change and helping
them recognize the Spirit in their lives and to desire the Spirit. Hes
going to be baptized this Saturday. </div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465845518958_3941">
Anyways,
those are the most exciting things that happened this week. I know this
church is true and that President Monson and the members of the Quorum
of the Twelve have been called of God to lead us in these days. </div>

Bueno,
this week Elder Iglesias and I worked super, super, super hard! We
reached all of the goals that we made and we have seen a lot of miracles in
our area and in the zone. Rafael Arauje is also going to be baptized
this Saturday! I'm super happy for him, he has come a long ways and has
become a different person. Hard work and lots of prayers and fasting
really do pay off and work miracles. </div>

So,
there were a few important things that happened last week, the first is
that we had our last Consejo Misional with President Erickson and that
he gave his last training on Friday. His last training made a big impact
on me, he trained about how the need of the Atonement in our lives and
how to apply it daily. I have learned a lot from President Erickson on my
mission and am very grateful for the help and support that has given me
on my mission. Hermana Erickson presented us (por internet) to
Presidente Godfrey's family and it seems like he is going to be awesome as
well! He was Ogden's mayor for a while and run xc, so it looks like
we will be getting along just fine!</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465743724816_2776">
Also,
the announcement mas grande for the week.....On Friday Elder Rasband is
coming to visit our mission, the Lima East and Lima Central mission. In
August Elder Bednar came and while I was in the CCM Elder Anderson came.
I'm super excited to hear from him. Every time I listen to them speak, I receive a deeper testimony that they are called of God and speak the
truth. I am so grateful that God loves us enough to send us prophets. </div>

I
feel like every single week on the mission passes by faster and faster.
This month in generally has gone by flying! Elder Iglesias and I have
worked super hard this change to try to help the zone reach its goals.
We didn't quite reach our goal this month but we still had a decent
results. We finished up with 11 baptisms. We were going to have a couple
more but some of them disappeared out of nowhere, others moved or lived
in another zone, and others baptismal dates literally fell. Elder
Schaffer, one of our awesome district leaders, called us to let us know
that his investigator Segundo, who I interviewed, wasn't going to be
baptized and so of course I asked him why and he told us that a few
hours earlier he was working and had fallen off a ladder and was in the
hospital! He is a lot better now and is going to be baptized in two weeks
after Peru's presidential elections. He is awesome and he is going to make
an awesome member of the church. But his baptismal date this past week really did "fall" through...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464573134759_11288">
Yesterday
Rafael didn't come to church but were going to try and visit him today
to see what happened. He has been progressing a lot lately and has had a
lot of desires to change and be a better person. His mom is Israelita
and so sometimes she talks to him about her church and he gets a little
confused about some parts of the doctrine. But I know that if he reads
the Book of Mormon he won't have a doubt in the world that this is
Christs church. </div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464573134759_11290">
Although
Rafael didn't come to church yesterday, we had a very successful day
afterwards. We decided to do divisions yesterday to reach our goals and
find more new investigators. I went with Andre Arana, our new ward
mission leader and one of my best friends here in Retablo (he came home
from his mission in Chile about 1 year ago) and it was awesome! We went
to a part of our area that we hadn't gone to for a while to contact and
look for some referrals and we contacted this family in the street, the
dads name is Andre and the wife is Melissa. We started talking to them
and asked them if we could go by there house some time next week to
share a message with them, but instead of inviting us to come back next
week the told us "Well, were close to our house right now, do you want
to come in and share you are message with us?". So of course we told the
¡Sí! It was easily one of the best lessons I have had here in Retablo! We
taught them about the Restoration and the understood it so well, it was
awesome. They are only home on Sundays but they are going to try and make it
to church this Sunday. We are super excited to be teaching a family now,
it was an answer to a prayer. </div>

There
were a few things that made this week a little different than the rest,
but it was still an awesome week! To kick off the week, we had 2
emergency changes for two of our district leaders in our zone. On
Wednesday morning, Elder Von Gunten and Elder Landero (two of my good
friends) were called as zone leaders in other zones because a lot of the
zone leaders are going to be finishing their missions this change. So
President Erickson is moving things around a little bit. Their
replacements are Elder Saenz and Elder Peralta. They are super excited to
work in the zone and I'm excited to work with them. Elder Saenz is from
Elder Sandovals group so I'm excited to get to know him. </div>

out as planned, but we have given it our all and have been really blessed

This
was a great week! First off, we are programing a baptismal service for
our investigator Rafael A. for the first week of June, after lots of
hard work and prayer, Retablo is going to have a baptism! Elder
Iglesias and I are super excited! We also have another investigator
named German Z. that is progressing and starting to read the Book
of Mormon, but it is looking like we are going to have to marry him and his
girlfriend though. It is funny, 2 years ago I never would have thought
that I would be running around Lima in 2016 trying to get people married
so they could get baptized. But I love working with families here, it is
hard work but it is very rewarding to help form a future eternal family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463410928463_25236">
This
week I went on a work visit with Elder Kimball, one of our district
leaders and he is really progressed a lot here in Comas and has ended up
becoming one of my best friends. When we left to go work things were
moving along pretty slowly. He started training for the second time in a
row this week and was a little exhausted and stressed, but we made some
good goals that we wanted to reach before the day ended and did the
best we could. We ended up finishing the day with 5 lessons in the
afternoon, we found 2 new people and contacted 2 referrals and contacted
a bunch of families. When we got back to the room we had a good talk
about what it means to have faith. Many times we pray and hope that God
will just help us. In the scriptures, we learn the faith can move
mountains, but usually the Lord is going to give us a shovel to get it
moving. I have learned on my mission that faith isn't just hoping that
things are going to happen, it is hoping that something is going to happen
and then going to work to get the job done. My perspective on what
faith really is has definitely changed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well,
for right now, everything is going well in Comas and I am excited to see
what la zona Comas is going to be able to reach with it's faith. </div>

Mom note: We were able to talk to Elder Potter yesterday for Mother's Day. He is doing great. His goal is to finish strong. He didn't want to talk much about coming home. He wants to stay focused and give all that he can to his Heavenly Father. Elder Potter feels his time as a missionary is precious. <br />

This
week was an amazing week and we honestly saw God's hand in the work this
week. Going into this week in our zone we had about 6 people in our
zone with baptismal dates, but now we have about 10 and were hoping that
by Wednesday well have about 12 or 15ish. It is amazing what hard work,
diligence, and a lot of hope and faith can do do! We've really helped our
our zone get united and super pumped to reach our goal of 20 baptisms
this month. </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462804689958_40054">
It is
funny how the changes work, right when the zone gets super united, we
have changes. This week there are 5 missionaries that have a change and
we are going to have 2 new missionaries come into the zone. I love working
with new missionaries. I love watching them progress and become good
Christlike missionaries.</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462804689958_40056">
Elder
Iglesias and I decided to do a little training with our district
leaders last Friday to train them about how to do baptismal interviews
and teach the Atonement and it was awesome! Hno Yoyi, the brother that
washes our clothes came and prepared breakfast for us. He prepared hot
dogs and we drank coca cola! It wasn't your average breakfast, but it was
still awesome and I was really grateful that he came and helped us out.
After the training all of the district leaders and their companions were
super excited to go out and work and get their districts excited. We are
definitely seeing eye to eye and have the same vision now. </div>

The
drought of Retablo also ceased this week! After 3 weeks of not having a
single investigator come to church, one person came to church! Our
prayers were definitely answered this week. His name is Antoni and is 19
years old. He was going to church in Ica a while ago and is now living
here in Comas to study. We have an appointment with him on Tuesday. We
were super grateful that he came!</div>

<div>
Well, I think that that is about all for this week! Que tengan una excelente semana! </div>

This
week was a very interesting week for Elder Iglesias and I. I finally
got better from being sick after about two weeks and we worked super
hard! Even though we worked super hard, we didn't see to many fruits from
our labors, for the first time in a long time we didn't have a single
investigator come to church, actually, it is the second week that we
haven't had anyone. But I know that the Señor will bless us for our hard
work, sometime God gives us hard and trying weeks to keep us humble
enough to keep trusting in Him and in His power, justice, and mercy. It is
amazing to me how the Lord shapes us, He is the perfect teacher. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462419189282_8525">
Although
we didn't have anyone show up to church, our zone had an awesome week!
As a zone we had about 30 people in church! And for many of them it was
their 2nd or 3rd time there! It is looking like were going to have an
awesome month! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462419189282_8527">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462419189282_8529">
Also,
this past week we had a work visit with Elder Bedoya, one of the assistants, and it was awesome! I learned a ton from him about the
importance of preaching the gospel to EVERYONE. <br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462419189282_8187">
I learned a lot from him.
We ended up finding 6 new investigators and an awesome new family that
were excited to start teaching. There names are Willy and Sara and
they are already married! Were going to pass by their house today or
tomorrow depending on what they tell us when we call them. </div>

To
wrap up the email, we went to el centro de Lima as a zone for last pday
and after almost 20 months in Peru I ate Cuy! Guinea Pig! It is super
fatty but I'm glad I tried it! We also went ot the parque de las aguas,
its a super cool park in Lima that has a ton of fountains, I'll send more pictures next week. </div>

So
this week was pretty good. I have been a little sick lately but we've still
been working hard to bring people to Christ. As of right now we don't
have anyone with a baptismal date but this last week we found a new
family that were going to start working with. They are only home on the
weekends but were determined to marry and baptize a family this coming
month. We also received this sweet referral from Elder Von Gunten and
Elder Marino, his name is Juan Ramon. He lives right next to the chapel
and has already gone the church several times. He is actually Chileno but
lives in Italia but his wife is Peruvian so that is why he is here, he is a
cool guy! </div>

Also,
last weekend the area presidency announced that the new temple in Lima
is going to be in Los Olivos! That is only about 10 to 20 minutes from
where I'm at! It is going to be a huge blessing for the people here in
Comas and in the surrounding cities. </div>

My week was kinda rough, some of the
baptismal dates in the zone fell through which was kind of frustrating
and I've been a little sick this week. But I know that this week is
going to be better. Tenemos que hacer todo lo que podamos con buen
animo DyC 123, last 3 verses. It is going to be a good week! Time goes by way, way to fast! I can't believe Talise is home. I'm

This
week I'm finishing up the New Testament for the first time. I have about
6 pages left of Apocolipsis (Revelation), there are plenty of things that I
still don't understand but something that has stood out to me is that it
talks a lot about how Christ was preordained to be our Savior before
the world was made. It is amazing to me that someone so perfect would
suffer die, and go through so much pain to save the whole human race
from its imperfections. I really do love our Savior and I am so grateful
for what He has done for me and for everyone. If we trust in Him, everything will go much better for us. Mateo 11:27 al 30. </div>

So
this week was a little different for the mission because Peru had its presidential elections on Sunday and there is a law here that prohibits
all religious groups from congregating the day of the elections until
4:00 PM so we didn't have reunions yesterday. But at night we planned an
awesome zone activity that for our investigators of the whole zone. We
saw "Meet the Mormons" and the Spirit was really felt there and we all
left more determined to "seguir adelante" or endure to the end. </div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406317647_5303">
I've
thought a lot about my mission this week and what I've done with my time
here in Lima and I honestly feel very happy and blessed to be here. I
have grown to love the people, their crazy traditions, and sometimes I
feel more Peruvian than Utahn (don't worry, I still love Utah). But I
have felt very blessed to know these people and help them live the
restored gospel. This week Katia and Elizabet are going to pass through
their final interviews and be baptized this week. We looked for Jose
Delcarpio all week long but couldn't find him until yesterday night, the
military is making him take a lot of exams, I just hope hes going to
stay in Lima for a little longer. </div>

Esta
semana fue chevere. This week was good! I'm with my new companion Elder
Iglesias now from Quito, Ecuador (where they are going to build one of the
new temples that was announced yesterday) and we are super excited for
this month! In March we didn't finish as well as we wanted too but this
month we already have a ton of potential in the zone and were going have
a lot of success. </div>

General
Conference was awesome this past weekend! I love many of the talks and
really felt the Spirit. But the best part was when the Spirit flooded
the chapel so strongly when President Monson announced that they are
going to build another temple in Lima. I have come to really love la
gente limeña a lot and I am so happy for them, so many more families
will be made eternal. I'll never forget the Spirit that was felt in the
dedication of the Trujillo temple back in August, and I know that it
will be just as spiritual for the people of Lima Peru. I'm so happy for
them!</div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460067503774_4490">
Right
now Elder Iglesias and I are working with a family, a mother and
daughter. Their names are Elizabet and Katia, they were a reference from
another sister from the Belaunde ward and they are awesome! We were sad
because they couldn't come to conference and I feel that that was a
crucial part of their preparation for baptism next week. But apart from
that, they are doing really well and progressing. </div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460067503774_4492">
My
last week with Elder Yohari we found this awesome new guy! His name is
Jose Delcarpio and his a commander (comandante) in the military that
lives here in Lima from time to time. He usually stations down south in
Puno but he is going to be here in Lima until the end of Abril when he is
going to have una asignación (task?) in the middle east. It is interesting
how God puts the people who are ready to hear and accept the gospel in
your way. At first, he just wanted me to teach him in English because
all of his bosses in the middle east only speak English. I told him that
I would teach him a little bit of the gospel in English but that I'm
here in Peru to preach the gospel, not to teach English classes. As we
began talking and sharing the Restauración with him he found and
intrinsic value in the message and attended church last Sunday. He also
came to 2 sessions of conference yesterday and told us the the music
really touched his soul and that he felt at peace. We explained to him
that that was the Spirit that he felt, hes gaining a testimony. I love
it when people dive into the gospel and realize why Christ is so
important in their lives. </div>

many other things happened this week that I would love to tell you all
about, but the time is short, so I'll write a little more next week. </div>

I don't have a ton of time
to write right now, but this weeks been good. Elder Yohari is leaving
tomorrow and I am going to be training a new zone leader so that will be
interesting. This month we finished alright, we didn't reach our goals
this month and that is always a little frustrating, but the good thing is
we did our part and Abril is going to be a great month. My new compañero
is Elder Iglesias. I have heard great things about him and I'm excited to
work with him. </div>

This Easter was a little crazy but good. We had a baptism and we rescued one

like that. Anyways, this week is going to be better. </div>

I'm also very excited to listen to conference this week. Listening to the
prophets always helps me to think and ponder more on Christ and His
Expiación. I'm very grateful for Him and I have been able to feel the
power of His grace many, many times on my
mission. I am very grateful for Him and what He did for me and what He
continues to do for me. He lives. </div>

Hola todos!<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1458664248755_2796">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1458664248755_2788">
This
week was super awesome! We had a lot of stuff do and it is looking like
our zone is going to finish up the month fairly well, but from the
looks, April is going to be an awesome month for Coma! Elder Yohari and I
have been working super, super hard lately to find people and get the
zone excited to start finding people for April. Our last district
meeting we all left excited and ready to work. I love it when everyone
is excited to work for the Lord, it really invites the Spirit into the
work. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1458664248755_2788">
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1458664248755_2564">
Oh yeah, I
was also able to use a running analogy in our last district meeting! I
talked about Roger Banister (the first man to break the 4 minute mile
barrier) and how before he broke the 4 minute mile, scientists had
declared the an impossible achievement. But with much diligence and
dedication to his training, in 1960, he ran the mile in 3:59. Because of
what he did, 18 other men that same year broke the 4 minute mile,
because 1 man proved it to be possible. I applied it to missionary work
and how a lot of times we find ourselves disappointed our discouraged,
but when we put our heart mind to the work, nothing is impossible! If we
work diligently and are always happy and always have the Spirit with us,
there wont be nothing to stop us from doing great things and helping
others achieve great things. I think that many times we could all be a
little more like Roger Banister. </div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1458664248755_2789">
Also,
it was Elder Yohari's birthday yesterday, so I cracked an egg on his
head! It is a tradition here in Peru to do that, it is one of my favorite
traditions here jaja. That was one of the highlights of the week jaja. </div>
<div>
