February 9, 2015


Well another good week here in Talara. Me and my companion have been having a ton of fun together and working hard. We are averaging about 30 new contacts a day. So to make it fun and keep it from getting boring we invented a game. Our game is that one picks a word that the other one has to say in the contact. Such as purse or backpack or computer or frying pan hahaha. Maybe you just have to be a missionary but it is actually way fun and super funny to see how the other person is going to use the word haha. It’s hard to not start laughing when they say it. 

 

This week we had a leadership conference with President Rowley and all of the zone leaders in the mission. We talked a lot about a quote that I love by Gordon B Hinckley, "The cause of most of man’s unhappiness is giving up what he wants most for what he wants now." and we talked about how we have to sacrifice our own will every day to meet the lords. It was an awesome conference and I learned a ton. Then we had our zone meeting and taught pretty much the same thing to the zone. We always set goals and want to achieve great things but sometimes we put that off to the side and do our own things. As a zone we also set the goal of contacting 1200 people this week and if we do we are going to have a huge activity next p day.

 

C and L are doing great. All of their family came to church. They still don’t have the papers that they need to get married and the guy in Chincha is taking forever to send us C papers. They pretty much need to present everything this week in order to get married and baptized on the 28th so we are praying for a miracle.

 

Everyone down here is already getting excited for the temple dedication. The youth are practicing almost every single night and traveling to Piura once a month to be able to practice and participate in the cultural celebration. It’s sweet because Linda is there and also Cesar and Liliana’s son goes and wants to participate. I wish I could go to the dedication in Trujillo haha. 

 

Well that’s all. Love you guys!
