I really Love people because you can always learn something from them, they teach you about yourself, about the gospel and about Christ. If we can try and see him through them, we will learn so much about them and how to relate to them.
This week here in the Mission Field was fantastic! We worked really hard and we reaped the benefits. We taught 35 lessons this past week, we had 6 investigadors and 3 menos activos asist church which was awesome. We also got a FECha!!! Carlos Alcantaro, we will be baptized on Nov 11, 2014 He was going to on his birthday but he has to travel to Lima, but still the 11th! Im super excited for him, he is the greatest!
We were also in a trio this week because an Elder need somewhere to be while he waits for his new comp, his name is Elder Fankhouser, hes from utah as well, and he has been really fun to be with, he has taught me a lot as well. We had a lot of great memories together this past week.
This week in my studies, Im in 2 nefi the Isaiah chapters, and I really noticed this time through, and thought, how great a blessing it is to have the words of isaiah in the book of mormon, It says in one of the foot notes, to notice the differences between the chapters in the book of mormon, and in the bible, but these words are so rich a full of testimonies of Jesus Christ. He lives.

Halloween is a little bit different in Peru, well they dont really celebrate it, there were many drunks on the street and people in general who would just say halllowweeen, to us when they saw us. which was pretty great! We made it the best we could, we bought a Cake, Chocolate Cake, it was steller, took a few minutes to relax and stuffered our face and talked about great Halloween stories.
A few firsts. One of our recent converts told me that I look like Paul Walker, hes an actor, that was a first. and everybody here thinks im way old, like 25, 26, haha They freak out when they find out im 18 Years old.
Well, I am so very grateful for the oppurtunity to serve the Lord everyday, and so grateful for all you back at home, for your prayers, your friendship, and for just all you all do. May we all continue being who and what the Lord wants us to be, and always try a little harder to fullfill his will.
I love you all, Velocidad de Dios.
