To all my Family and freinds and everyone else who reads my email thank you for your love and support! Like always, you are all the greatest!!!

So this week was a really good one for us! We ahve been able to see alot of investigators begin to progress and its so humbling to be apart of it all! This week were the presidential elections here in Peru! They vote on sunday and so we didnt have church this week and has to stay inside all day long! It was quite the bumer because our investigators couldent get to church!! but that ok the lord knows what he is doing :)

My companion is really progressing and its awesome to see what the savior can do to us here in the mission! Im so proud of him! Other than that we havent really had anything crazy happen this week. Some days i feel like im a misionary is Soddom and Gomorra and i feel like there is no hope but then i just let faith take over and see miracles! 

I wish i had more stories to tell you all but thats all i have for this week! The other day one of our recent converts called us over and says, "i have news...... LIMA IS GETTING A NEW TEMPLE!!!" haha he was so happy and its been so awesome to see his progress!!! I love this work!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!

Mom,

Thanks so much for the email mom! This week was a really good one! My companion is progressing alot and we are really growing close! He is not bummed at all about his visa. I think he has grown to like this mission and hes scared about learning english but thats alright! Trainnig can be stressful at times because all the responsability is on your shoulders! But its all good :) We did pick up new investigators and our recent converts are progressing so much!! Thank you for your prayers. They are answerd.

Sounds like the work at home is super fun..... haha jk im sure its tiring! Dont worry about Gabe. When i get home i will school that boy haha IM SO PROUD OF GUNNER!!! I can only imagine how his parents feel! And thats so cool that he is going to the mission of Adam!!!! SO COOL! I have been thinking and praynig alot about hunter lately. He needs someone to stand up and be a good example. His mom is praying in the heavens for him! PLEASE HELP HIM!! 

That video has been out for awhile and it has shaped my mission haha The scripture that is perfect for you mom is Proverbs 3:5-6 LEAN NOT ON THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING!! 

rooming with jackson will be so fun but your right, thats like lightyears away haha.

Anyways mom i love you so much! This work is hastening and its such a blessing to be apart of it! Im so eternally greatful for you and Dad and the rest of the family! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
