hey familia.

(Please see down below for a nice spiritual thought)

The tour was a lot of fun. saw the white house of peru, and a bunch of pretty cathedrals. cant wait to go to the field!! were really tired of sitting in a classroom and studying all day. especially since our district is new, so 

Elder Jarrell and I are learning day 8 curriculum tomorrow, but its day 51. Our listening is getting a lot better. Through hand signals and context and tone of voice and the gift of tongues, we can understand anything they say, and we can say a lot now too. Our lessons with fake investigators are getting really interesting and fun, and were learning how to really teach well, teach in question, give very simple lessons that exercise the investigators faith, so and so. its awesome!!

We had a couple sad moments yesterday when two of the new elders that arrived last week had to go home to fix stuff. One has to wait a year, and one can return in a month. but its really sad to see them go. Please pray for these Elders that they can be strong and get back out here!!

On the tour, elder Durfey and I got a card out to a man named Javier in a market, and he seemed kinda interested. so pray for him too!!!!!

Oh yeah new companion. Elder Jarrell is a really tall lanky kid from utah first, and then from chicago, and speaks really good spanish. we're having a good time learning more, and discussing gospel doctrine and such. tons of fun!

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: 

ok. read Helaman 5 for a crazy awesome story. Read about the man named Aminidab. Notice the people he hangs with before this experience, and then notice the chance he was given and what he does. Awesome story. Awesome chapter. Awesome book.

also, I encourage you to read alma 17, 18 the story of Ammon. I love it every time I read it, and its about a missionary!!!

Also today in Tottus when we went in there, they were playing a latino, jazzy remake of Aubrey, by Bread, with a woman singing it this time. Please someone go look it up, see if you can find it, listen and enjoy, and I will pretend that I am you.

Love all of you!!
