"Well everyone this week was a good week! Me and good old Elder Camacho are working really hard! This last week we found our good old buddy Raul! Hes a cute little grandpa that was reading the Bible and we talked to him for a minute and shared a message about the Book of Mormon and the Restoration! It was awesome. He was so interested he went to church with us yesterday! We left him with 3 Nephi 11 to read and afterwards he explained exactly what happened in the chapter hahaha. Hes excited for next week to because hes gonna convince his wife to go hahah. I love the happy old people of Peru. I think we should all be more happy. Happiness is a decision. We dont have total control over what happens to us but as hard as it seems we do have control of our reactions. So be happy. Like all the old people here in Peru!"

"Well everyone this week was an awesome week! We have definitely seen a lot of miracles in our area! This week we have 2 baptism planned! So if you could all pary for Lili Ibarra and Orlando Olaya that would be awesome. The work is really starting to shoot up in this ward! That is awesome!
Something that has really marked me this week is the fact that not only has my mission changed my life but has also changed the life of many others. Through diligence and hard work the Lord has made me an instrument in his hands. Every single one of you can be an instrument for the Lord it will not only change your life but could change the life of many others. Love you all!

"So this week was awesome! We baptized Hermana Lili y Hermano Orlando! It sure was a weekend full of stress but it was all worth it! They are so awesome. This weekend we should baptized Familia Escobedo and Dayana Ibarra if you could all pray for them! SOmething else that was way awesome is I finished the Book of Mormon again. Its true. Joseph Smith was a prophet and Russel Nelson is a prophet today. I KNOW it. I cannot deny the spirit I felt when I asked God these things. You all need to do it! Love you all.
Heres some pics of the baptism and also my awesome razor burn I got for buying a crap razor hehe love you all."

"So this week was awesome. Conference was incredible! My favorite part (besides the new temple in Layton) was when Elder Ballard asked everyone to write down our thoughts and feelings in that moment where ever it was that we were taking notes. The impression hit me so strong and I only wrote "the church is true." I KNOW it. That was such an amazing conference every message was so great. My favorite message was from President Nelson himself. "The heavens are open... we can seek and recieve revelation." I think that is so important. We are his children and he loves us. We can recieve anwsers of what we need to do. But the faith with it works is dead faith. We must act! You can recieve revelation! Love you all!
Familia Escobedo got baptized!!!
The baptisms in our zone!
Other pics with Familia Chanduvi and the cutest niece in the world!"

"So we got transfers! They called us and advised me that I will be training! We were sitting in one of the rooms in the church and President said "all of you have trained before so thats awesome. Well... Elder Stevens probably forgot how to train." And then laughed and asked me "When was the last time youve trained?" I reflected a lot in that moment. Almost a year and a half ago! That was crazy. The mission goes be sooo fast. Well it was awesome this week. My hijo is so sick. Hes from Bolivia and hes just an awesome person. His a short little guy but he is way cool. We worked so hard! AND my comp was able to baptize for the first time in his mission this week! It has been way awesome. I love the mish love my new comp! Everything is awesome. Love you all!"
