HAPPY EASTER!

17 April 2017
 

Here is my Easter picture!  In Peru they celebrate Easter but it is like a week long thing and they call it holy week.

I love you all so much. I have been working really hard with Elder Hart. We have been trying really hard to visit the members and help be missionaries as well because in the end we are all missionaries. I love you all so so so so so so much!!!! 

I am so thankful for God our Father and his son Jesus Christ.

I hope you all know how much God loves you all. He loves you and wants you to be happy and that is why he sent Jesus Christ, even though I am sure it was hard for him to send his only begotten son and that he sobbed when he saw our Savior suffering in the Garden and on the Cross. He loves us all to and wants us to make it back to his presence. I love you all so so so much and I know God lives and that he loves us, I love you all. Stay strong and be happy because God is with you.

I am doing great. This week was great and really fun. Me and Elder Hart are really happy to stay together We are stoked and way happy. We are so excited to keep working together and get more people to be baptized. 

This week was good. We were able to find 13 new people to teach so that is really fun. We are excited to help them all progress and help them feel the love that God has for them. 

I am doing so good. I cant believe that I have 3 changes left. that blows my mind away. It will be interesting. 

I am still burning here. Today in the morning we played soccer with the members and It was so hot. I sweat like crazy haha! It was really fun. I miss sports and it is more easy to play them now that I am less fat haha!

I.love you all so much. I think I might finish here especially now that Elder Hart will stay one change more with me. I would love to finish here. I love my area. 

I love you so much !

So I don't know if you have all heart what is going on in Peru, but I hope you know I am fine, in fact my whole mission is fine. We are all happy and ready to keep working. I know that there are some other parts of Peru like Lima or Piura that have been damaged and I am definitely praying for them. My mission and where I am is fine.

We had our baptism this week! Her name is Keysi and she is awesome. She bore her testimony in the service and just said  that she knew these things were true. We are so happy for her. It just made me realize I was doing my job. It made me so happy. It made me realize this is why I am here so that everyone can become converted. I loved it. Such a beautiful experience. 

I know this church is true and that God lives. God exists. I know he does. I promise you all that he exists. His son Jesus Christ exists. I just know it. I love you all!!!!

This picture is of Joseph. He is 22 years old and he always did visits with me and Elder Hart, but now he is leaving to go to college, so we took some pictures with him hahaha!!!!

I love you all and I hope you are all doing well. I am praying for you guys everyday. I know this church is True. I know God lives and that he loves each and everyone of us.

If you are having a bad day, remember that the adversary is attacking you because you are a choice child of God. Satan attacks us, because he knows we're strong, and he doesn't want us to be strong, but we are so much stronger than he is. Remember you can overcome everything with our Savior Jesus Christ. He has died for us , and we can be saved thanks to him. Keep fighting, and keep working. God will protect you all. Read D & C section 122. It is awesome!!!!! God can make the darkest moments, into the brightest days.

This week has been really good. Keysi is for sure getting baptized on the 24th. We are really excited for her to get baptized. She told us she feels very content and excited for her baptism. Ana as well is really excited for her baptism on the 25th. We fasted with her so she can find another job to keep the sabbath holy, and the next day, her neighbor offered her a job where she wouldn't even work Saturday or Sunday, so I know that fasting brings miracles. Our zone is hopefully going to have 14 baptisms this month so we are really excited about that! I  love you all so so so much. I testify that this church is True!!!! I love you all!
