Hey there guys,
I´m going to tell you about a week in Peru, but first I
need something from you! If any of you know, please send me the emails of these
people.
Jason Anderson. Tai Justice. Bailey Faimaloa. Brother
Esplin. Ben Doria. Jon Doria. Thanks!
So I´m only 2 months in and i´m already running out of
things to say.. haha, A lot of stuff is happening, but it´s hard to explain in
an email! make no mistake, lives are changing! but yeah, so I have two stories
for you!
This first is funny. Me and Elder Allasia were in a lesson
talking about the word of wisdom. At the end I bore testimony and explained how
hard it was for me to stop drinking tea, but why I stopped, and how I was
blessed. Once we left Elder Allasia asked, "You had a problem with the
word of wisdom?" I laughed and said, "The Word of Wisdom was on a
list of about 50 problems" He laughed and said, "You are very
different from all my companions because you are the only one who was as bad as
me, if not worse before the mission" He then Explained his life before. It
was really funny
The 2nd is me realizing how blessed and lucky I am. So
this week a president assistant companionship come to me and Elder Allasia.
President Assistants are like the major leagues in missionaries. They told us we’re
going on splits for the day. I was with Elder Calle. Latino. Haha I was alone
with a only Spanish speaking missionary, in an area he didn´t know, with three
lessons to teach with people he´s never meant! It´s safe to say... I was
freaked out. During the lessons, I realized, he knows some things. I got us
lost once, but it was a really successful day.
At the end we were talking and he was asking some pretty
sensitive questions, but I trusted him. He asked very specifically how I was
doing. My testimony, feelings, doubts, companion, area, family, home, health,
everything. As I was answering I realized I only have 1 legit problem. and that´s
spanish. Elder Wallace has been sick a lot here. One Elders mom just died, some
don´t have the energy, and others don´t know why they´re here.
Then there´s me. haha Healthy, Happy missionary from a
small town. My family is healthy and happy. I´ve yet to get sick. There are
emails in my Inbox. I can´t describe the feeling of gratitude I had that night,
and now. How the savior has blessed my life, and the atonement has carried me.
Without him, I wouldn´t be in Peru! Without him I don´t know what I would have.
Jesus is my friend, brother, and savior. God´s strength is unmatchable.
I guess you could say, all those years of wearing Lucky
Brand Jeans paid off :) Haha I am one Lucky guy.
Have a good week. Play a little. Pray More. Love the Most.
