Elder Cole Noel- Peru Lima Central Mission: April 17, 2017

Family and Friends! I hope you all have had an AMAZING easter! This past week was a very special one for me as I studied Christ life and his last week before his ressurection. There exists no greater role model, or hero than Jesus Christ! Thanks for your emails and prayers!

This past week was a very good one for us! The sector is progressing a ton and its so exciting to see how God is hastening his work here in Magdalena, Lima, Peru! I sent the pictures of the baptism we had last last week! If everything goes well we should have a couple more pretty soon here!

This week I have really learned the importance of making others feel better. We are here to represent the Savior and he always built others up! There are so many ways to build others up but what I have found that has most helped is by smiling! This week when members give there sacrament talks, SMILE! They will be so greatful that you did that. We must love Gods children as He does.

We had an interhcange this past week and our schedule was pretty empty. I was with a newer misoinary and wanted to help him so I said a silent prayer that we would find new investigators. the very next door we knocked I told him that if we had faith they would let us in. well, LOW AND BEHOLD The red sea parted and they let us teach them! After the lesson we got a call from some Other Elders in our ward saying that there was someone waiting at the chapel that wanted to hear the gospel! So we taught a crazy lesson and she accepted everythign! then we kept working and at night found another famliy!

I testify that God can turn water into wine and little into alot if we just have faith. Faith is the key. I hoep this week that we can all have more faith and work harder then ever! LOVE YOU ALLL!!

Thanks for the email Dad! It sounds like everything is going well back home! The ward is really thriving! How is the missionary sytem set up in our ward? We need to baptize when I get home! That would be so esxciting! Dont worry about me. I would looooovvveee sleeping upstairs with Gabe and Abby. I talk in spanish at night allllll the timee haha I am also moving around ALOT at night. My Companion says that that is a sign of stress. I may be stressed deep down about the tansition back home. I am starting to realize I cant run from it Ineed to be a man and get it done so dont worry about that! Any help is more than welcomed! Who are the Cavs playing? Who are the Jazz playing?? Will I be home for the finals?
