This week we had our
last reunion with Presidente Borg and his wife. They’re going to finish the
mission on June 30th. So they got the whole mission together for one last
time to bear their testimonies and to say goodbye. It’s hard to describe the
relationship between the missionaries and a mission president. You know them
and care for them in a way that’s different than anyone else. They’re like our
parents here in the mission and they care for us and love us so much.
Presidente Larson and his wife will be coming soon and July 5th we
are going to get to know them and have interviews. Wow is time flying or what?
This week we have been
taking really good care of the 7 people that we have with baptismal dates for
July. As missionaries we grow to love the people. I care so much for each of
them. Way more than I ever thought I would. It’s kind of the same
feeling that I got when I opened my mission call. It’s just a feeling of
overwhelming love for the people, even though you don’t know them yet. Here I
feel that same thing every day. These people are awesome and I know why I’ve
been called here at this time to this specific place.
This week I have been
reading in the missionary library. You know like 'Jesus the Christ', 'Our
heritage', 'True to the Faith', and 'Our Search for Happiness'. I finished 'Our Search for Happiness' and I’m almost done with 'Our Heritage' already. If you haven’t
read these books you gotta read them, especially if you aren’t a member of the
church. They talk about who we are and why we do the things we do. After
reading 'Our Search for Happiness', I realized that seriously everything we do is
so that we can be happy.
This week a new temple
in Trujillo Peru was dedicado! Saturday we went to the stake center
to watch the cultural celebration and then we saw the dedication yesterday. It
was seriously so cool to see the youth from Trujillo and other cities
celebrating the new temple. They have no idea the blessings that await them
there haha. The temple is an amazing place. And we should all have as a goal to
arrive there, and then visit often.
Weeks ago we planted
seeds here that in July we are going to harvest. July is going to be an amazing
month to say the least.
Have a good week and keep praying for us!
