Pedro 🌊

 My goal this week was to just have fun. To just enjoy peru, these people, the food, and just soak it in. It was easily the best week of this transfer. We worked hard and had a great time. A couple times this week elder Alves and I broke out in full blown one block sprint races. It was so fun. Little moments like that are things that I will always remember. It changes the pace of the day, gets the vibes up and brightens the mood. 

We went to Monsefú last pday and got some incredible encimadas. So good. 

Pedro was baptized yesterday. We met him 15 days ago and taught him shirtless sitting on a curb. We invited him to be baptized in the first contact and he accepted. His life, countanance, and desires have completely changed. It was a beautiful baptism. 

Something really cool about the story of the Church is how Martin Harris came to believe in the work. Joseph Smith had seen angeles, talked face to face with the Father and the Son, and held the plates in his hands. Martin Harris simply prayed and asked God if the work was true. He felt a still small voice and knew that it was. 

At midnight one day this week we woke up to a bunch of yelling outside the apartment. We looked out the window and there was a full blown fight going on between a mom and the dad of her kids. They were yelling at each other for a while. It was really sad. I couldn't sleep for a while thinking how gratefull I am for my family and the important truths I have learned on my mission about the family, the law of chastity, and the importance of a united family. I am gratefull for these truths. 

 

David, the miracle man from Chachapoyas that I shared the voice message about a few months back went to the temple in Trujillo this week. He was hyped and sent me pics. The gospel changes lifes. 

Short one this week. All good down here. The church is true
