Hola Familia,
How is everyone doing back home? I got a bunch of your dear elder letters this week, and it was awesome to get one from everyone in the family. It just sounds like everyone is doing really well. Steph and Andrew, GOOD LUCK AT STATE!!! You guys really have put a lot into it this year, and its just good to hear your giving it all you got. Allison, keep up the good work with your Stats class, and that’s crazy you are going to Syria. Jen, sounds like your acting is going awesome. Mom and Dad, working hard as always, its good to hear. Keep up the good work
The work of the Lord continues to go extremely well down here in Peru. The hna Jeannette finally got baptized last Sunday, and we are so happy that the day of her baptism finally arrived. She has been attending church faithfully since October, and it was just great to see her finally reach her goal She just couldn’t be happier right now. The hna Jeannette and Anthony (her son) are really strong members. Anthony actually gave his first talk in sacrament meeting Sunday. It was awesome, and he didn’t seem nervous at all, even though he had to give it in such a huge ward like Mayorazgo. We were so proud of him.
He really can’t wait to go on the mission too, he’s only 14 though so its still going to be a little bit. We also have Jorge that received the Holy Ghost Sunday, and he is just as awesome as ever. He went around proselyting with us the other day, and it was an amazing lesson. We taught a new investigator named Cristian that came with quite a few doubts, but we taught The Restoration, and I think he really left satisfied. What helped a lot with the lesson was Jorge’s testimony. He was completely sincere, and its great because he only came to know the church a little over a month ago, and he is able to testify of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and the Church. He is just awesome, and he really can not wait to get out into the field. He doesn’t want to wait a whole year to get out there. I just couldn’t be any more excited for our recent converts.
We still have been running like crazy too, I think we have missed only about one day in about a month. That’s what I’m talking about! My leg started hurting a little though, like I pulled that muscle in the side of my leg before. I just remember before the 4th of July 5k that Sam just about killed my leg rubbing it out for me, and I’m pretty sure I have the same thing. If I give it a good massage before I start running it doesn’t bother me though, so its all good. Thanks to Sam for teaching me that trick. In the morning before going to the office we go to the pension for breakfast. The Hna Magaly is the best. She usually gives us delicious bread with jelly, oatmeal, yogurt with cereal. We are really blessed. She also told me to say Hi to you guys for her. She is really great. So then we are in the office until about 4. I always have to be yanking my companion out of the office, but once we get out we get some good work in. We usually can get quite a bit done if we get out of the office by 4, but if not I just feel like the day is wasted. Its been going well though. I just have to help my companion to be a little more animated about the work at times. The office really can kill people if they aren’t excited to get out and work, because there is an excuse, and there are a few that always use that excuse. Its sad, but the good thing is we have some great investigators so it is a little easier to yank him out of the office.
Well I just couldn’t be happier to be down here in the work of the Lord, and thank you for all of your support always. I’m always praying for you guys, and its so great to hear everyone is doing so well. Keep up the good work, and I’ll talk to you next week.Love,
Elder Lee
