22 October 2008--Late Dia de Preparation again!

Hey family,
How is everyone doing? I guess dear elder is going to send everything to the mission, so I guess I´ll get it in a week. I can't believe I am going to be out in the field in 1 week! This time in the Peru CCM has really flown. It has gone a lot faster than Provo.
Well my new companion Elder Garcia is great. We went prosyliting on Saturday, and it was an amazing experience. Really much better than last time. We made a goal of getting 10 contacts along with visiting all of the families that they gave us. We ended up getting 8 for the day, but we just didn't have enough time. We taught 4 lessons. 2 to inactive families, 1 to an active young womens president, and one to a contact we made on the street. I am beginning to be able to contribute more and more to the lessons.
The most amazing spiritual experience of the day was that last lesson we taught on the street. We were looking for a house, and they didn't answer the door. I saw this guy standing outside his door down the street a little ways, and I thought maybe we should contact him. We started walking the other way though, and then I had a strong feeling that we needed to go back and contact him. I told Elder Garcia, and he said "Lets go, but you contact this time" So we went up and contacted him. It turned out that he was Catholic, but was interested in what we had to say. Elder Garcia taught them about the authority being taken from the Earth, when Christ and the apostles died, and then I taught everything about the resoration. I recited the first vision and everything. He was really interested, and after we bore our testimonies we gave him a Libro de Mormon, and a restauration pamphlet. It was an amazing experience. It was just a testimony to me to always listen to what the spirit says. I know it was the spirit that told us to make that contact. It really was just an amazing experience.
Well this last week has gone by so fast it is hard to believe. The food is still good, soccer is still good, teaching is still good. I am just having a good time all around. In the field we are going to have a lady that cooks and does our laundry. It is going to be nice I think, to not have to worry about doing that stuff, but just concentrating on the work.
It is good to hear about how things are going at home. I can't believe BYU lost! They were doing so good, and to TCU of all teams, hopefully they can still win conference. Steph drove all the way home from hurricane! that is awesome, I can't believe how different things are going to be when I get back. Sometimes I think of how long 2 years is and then I realize how fast it is going already. I just want to do the best I can in the little time that I have.
I love you family, and I miss you so much. I can't wait to see how everything turns out with the houses and stuff. Good luck with everything that is going on in work and school, and I pray for you always. I'm going to send a hand written letter too, because 30 minutes of e-mail just isn't enough! Love you, and look forward to hearing more from you!
Elder Lee
