Elder Cole Noel- Peru Lima Central Mission: February 29, 2016

This week was absolutly amazing! Thank you all for your letters, love, and prayers. It is because of your faith that mircales are seen and lives are blessed over here in Peru!

This week cheila got baptized!!! It was such an awesome experience! The baptism was really easy because she is super tiny and barely comes up to my misiosnary tag haha (See Photos)

i also wanted to let everyone know that Brayhan was able to fin a job that doesent make him work sundays!! He is so happy and has changed so much! Thank you for your prayers!!!

This week we have been apart of a ton of miracles. We are preparing a 19 year old named mauricio for baptsim. he has changed his wholelife around and LOVES the church and the sprirt that he feels there! He has had an ear ache for about a week and its been killing him so we gave him a blessing and the next day when he woke up his ear didnt hurt him anymore! The Priesthood is real! he has been accompaning us to appointments and bearing strong testimony with us! He is a candadite for the mission if everything continues how it is!!!!

Also this sunday we will have the privelage of seeing La Familia Magan Hurtado be baptized! Please pray that everything goes well!!!

Thank you all for the support! Im doing really good and can feel the Holy Spirirt stronger than ever! THANK YOU!

The vacation will be awesome! To be honest you guys did the right thing and Nick and Montana will be blessed because of your obedience! By you guys being obedient they will reacieve blessings as well! This week was awesome! we had 7 investigators come to church this week. one of them is a family who is going to be baptized next sunday after church! Pray that everything goes well! As for bryahan im pretty bummed... He couldnt be confirmed because he broke the law of chastity with his ex girlfriend a few days after his baptism. he will get confirmed we just dont know when! Pray that everything goes well there and please dont tell anyone! 😔 But that ok! he will be stonger for it! Anyways Mom thank you so much! Im doing really good and this week Elder Cid told me that i have changed his whole mission and whole life. I didnt change anything but the compliment was sincere and im glad i was able to help God rescue his lost missionary!!

We will never give up :) The famliy is good! They are from venezuela but its a single parent home with just the mom. They are such a miracle! They have been reading The book of mormon together and they are alot mor united and sooo happy!!Im doing great mom, dont worry about me. in 2 years i will be home and we can chit-chat go to costco and all that fun stuff forever but right now the Lord needs me. He needs me and i cant let him down. Thanks for your support mom! LOVE YOU!

Dad,

Thanks for the email dad! Your exactly right thats a great question. There is a scripture in Alma 36 that say that we need to "Cross Ourselves in all things" I have really used that as a guide on my mission and try to cross myself every day. I can honestly say that im 100% Focused on the work. There is so much misionary drama that is just so dum and so easily avoidable if we just work. I realize that we cant do anything without the spirit and we cant obtain the spirit unless we are focused! Im doing really good in that part!

I think when i cam on the mission it was because it has always been a dream of mine and of you and of mom but when i got on the mission i realized what i got myself into and needed a higher motivation to stay and work hard. I Founf that motivation in Jesus Christ and my love for him. Thats why im here! Im doing it all for him and will never shy away from serving him!

Sounds like the Aggies are ajusting to the new AD and will take some time but when i get home there will be no excuses!! jaja Thanks so much for everything dad.

im so glad im not home for yardwork hahaha LOVE YOU!
