September 23, 2013


last week when we were playing soccer Elder Roco had this jersey!! And I was so excited!! I miss my name sometimes.


this is in another language that I cannot spell, but it’s spoken here in some parts in Peru and the mother of Hna Burgos speaks it and is not a member so she is going to give her this Book of Mormone when she gets home.


some weird fruit or flower or something…I don’t know what it is but I liked it!


This week has been good! We started teaching a new lady named Rosa, so we met with her and before we were just saying that we really wanted her to do most of the talking this lesson and just figure out what we could do to help. So we went and met with her and we just asked her how she feels about her relationship with Dios and she said it's not the greatest because she feels like in the hardest times in her life He isn't there. So we really just listened to her and let her express how she felt and realized that all she needs is us to show Gods love for her and so we are really going to focus on that and how this gospel can bless her and help her recognize just how much God really does love her. Everyone struggles sometimes wondering if God is really there but it was just a reminder that if we focus on the bad things that happen it's easy to get discouraged, I mean we as missionaries get discouraged all the time but that's just life, we need to realize in those moments of discouragement to focus on the things that we do have and the blessings we have recived because the blessings or the good moments we have had always trump the bad or discouraging moments. 

We had a talent show this week on saturday! and it was so good! it was a lot of fun! and really funny 2 elders from our zone did a rap which was really funny and there was a little girl with downsyndrome that danced and I loved it because it reminded me of Lauren! Also this week the weather has been funny some days its really hot and others it gets a little cold and my companion is so weirded out by it and shes just like one day it's warm and one day it's cold I don't get it! and in my head I just think...It's just like Utah ha 

The Familia Santa Cruz that we started teaching a while back is still doing good..we are a little frustrated because the wife is kind of slower because we can see that Walter (the husband) and Sol (the daughter) are excited by the gospel but Walter really wants to do this as a family and thats what we want to but its just going to take more time is all so we have to be patcient...which is hard and I don't like it.  

Also we started teaching this man named Edgar a couple weeks ago and he suffers from schizophrenia, but he is taking pills and remembering everything we teach him but we need to wait a little longer and observe his behavior before we can baptize him, but he came to church this past week, and like I said he has a little problem and this week in church we were learning the law of chastity...so he said some interesting things that we are going to have to talk about with him later this week but it's just always an adventure. 

I hope you guys have fun moving this week!! and send me a lot of pictures of the new house!! I'm so excited for you guys!! 
I love you all thanks for everything!! 

Love Morgan
