The font was chilly and conference was stupendous 🤙🤙

Pretty fire week tbh. Conference was dope. It is just better as a missionary. Everything applies to missionary work somehow.

The boys are hyped about the Piura temple. About half of the branch works in Piura during the week, so they are pumped. Its about 3 hours from here, so its actually not really any further than the Chiclayo temple will be. In the past 1.5 years the people in Motupe have gone from having 0 temples within a 10 hour drive to 2 withing 3 hours. Pretty cool.

The baptism was hype. I wont lie I cried. I couldnt help think of my family and grandparents and how their example has spread to me and from me to people down here. The church really is one big tree. I have entered a lot of baptismal fonts around the world from my stake center to provo, to ecuador, but standing in one that you filled with buckets, with a person that you have taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ is something special. Those sisters will forever hold a special place in my heart. They are extremely faithfull, and I have no doubt they will be active members until the day they die.

We went up to the pueblos up further in the mountains this week and had to hitch hike back (picture coming)

I got attacked by 7 dogs, kicked one, fell in the weird 20 inch deep holes that plague the streets of south america, hurt my ankle, and spilled my beverage on me. I got a Coke to drown my sorrow though (shoutout Randy)

Conference was dope so I'm gonna drop some of my favorite qoutes to end 🤟🤟

"Grab a pic and a shovel. Help carry His love to His people, and some of it will splash on you."

"The only solution to the poverty of this world is the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

"Jesus is not a Sunday only topic."

"Don't come to Jesus Christ because you are perfect. Come to Him because you are flawed and can be perfected."

"Our covenants are not a transaction, they are a transformation."

"When we choose not to be humble, we end up being humiliated." (Skyline basketball 🤣🤣)

"Stay on your knees until a casual prayer turns mighty."

"We have neither Gods authority to judge nor his power to redeem, but we have his commision to love."

"When nothing is expected and everything is appreciated, the world becomes magic."

"Go forth with power to tell the world the Gospel is restored."

"It is not the course alone that saves us. It is our companion. The savior."

"Jesus Christ is the author of Eternal Salvation."

"All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ."

"Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal."

"Daily repentance is the pathway to purity. Purity is the pathway to power."

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the great equalizer."

"May we not let our fear mislead us. But open our hearts, minds and mouths, and minister as He did."

"Wheather we live in a home with a swimming pool, or a dirt floor, this church requires sacrifice." (I can say with assurity after living here for a couple weeks that the later requires more.)

"You need to feel the Lords love for the people you serve, and then for you, as you serve them."

"The time is coming that a knowledge of the Savior will be spread to every nation, kindred, tounge, and people."

Love you all, thanks for your examples
