<b>Well it has been an amazing time! 2 years, 104 weeks, 730 days, 17,520 hours - whatever way you look at it - Jonah has had the chance to serve as an ambassador of God and has become a better man because of it. In his final remarks you see that he has had an incredible finish to his mission. But Is this the final chapter? Is there a prologue? We may have a few more posts upcoming as Jonah will be getting two new companions! - Leslie and David are on a plane right now traveling to Peru to meet Jonah and spend some time visiting his mission, meeting some families he has grown to love and visiting a few other areas in Peru!</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: , "helveticaneue"; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;">This week has been so wonderful!! We started with Gianluca's baptism at 8am before the sacrament meeting, and in the photos you can see that his whole family went!! President Marble and Sister Marble were also present in the service, and it was so great!! Everything turned out great in the baptismal service, and then right after, we had the confirmation. Only his parents were able to stay, but they absolutely loved the sacrament meeting. There were wonderful talks given that seemed to be written for the family. The dad whispered to us in the middle, "I think next month I need to get baptized too". So awesome!!!! They still aren't married, but after witnessing the baptism of their son, they now want to get married in order to be baptized. So great! Seriously, it's been so miraculous that all of this is happening. It's so incredible to be there watching it all happen in front of our eyes. Just today, they invited us over for lunch, and because it's our Pday, we were able to take a time after lunch (delicious by the way), to chat and talk about their family. They brought out their photo albums and told us their stories of how they met and their children's births, and other stories. It was a really great opportunity to get to know them, and now when we return to teach them, I know it will be much easier to relate to them, love them, and even exhort them. Anyway, I love the Familia Juárez. They are fantastic people.</span><br />

On Wednesday, we had an interchange with Elder Klossner and Elder Rios (Primavera/Porvenir zone), and I got to be with Elder Rios again!!! Yayyyy!! It was so great to talk to him again and see how he is doing personally and also with leading the zone. He's such an incredible person, and I, as I do with Elder Melendrez, respect him so much for choosing to serve a mission at an older age. He is 26 right now, and could be doing a lot of different things. But he's here, sacrificing 2 years in order to serve the Lord. Para los valientes no más. Anyway, we had a great day together and found wonderful people to teach. That same day, we found somebody that we hadn't taught for a long time (I might've talked about her before), named María Paz. She is so chosen! And will be baptized very soon, and will help her family to be baptized as well. She is finally free of some different commitments and will be able to attend church and receive us more frequently. Such a faithful person! Anyway, the area is doing really great right now.</div>

I have a lot of mixed feelings right now, and I'm very excited to see my parents on Monday, but I'm also very sad to not be a full-time missionary anymore. It has been THE GREATEST experience of my entire life. I have never experienced so many faith-building moments in my life until I got to Perú, and thanks to the mission, I know, without doubt, that this is the Lord's work. I have received far too many testimonies to deny the presence of a Supreme Being's hand in my life for the past 2 years. I know it, and I know that God knows it. I have grown to love people and to desire their salvation. It fills me with joy to know that for our efforts, God's children can come back to His presence. I know that God lives and I know that we are His children with divine potential. I love you all so much, and I hope to see many of you soon!</div>

<b>Well - here we are, coming to a close. The next post will be the final of Elder Babbel's amazing journey in the Peru Trujillo North Mission. Next week we will be meeting Jonah, after two years, in the wonderful country of Peru. There have been some amazing stories and events, great eternal friendships have been made and he has grown spiritually and physically (I'm going to feel short standing next to him!) Please enjoy his latest letter.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So this week has just been so wonderful!! We had such an amazing miracle happen with the Familia Juárez that we are teaching! Gianluca, the 14 year old son, is getting baptized tomorrow </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">at 8am </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">right before church, and how it happened was just incredible.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Here's a little excerpt of my letter to President Marble:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We knocked their door around 4 months ago, and it has been a slow process, but in the past week, we have taken leaps and bounds. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1816244066" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday</span></span>, we visited them with our bishop and his wife...during that lesson, we bore testimony of the importance of the family and how the Restored Church can bless their's. After sharing our own experiences of how the Restored Gospel has changed our lives, the mom of the family, Hermana Sandra, completely opened up. She has a very strong character, very demanding, and is very cold with people she doesn't know. She is, although, a great person that always tries to help other people and be very fair, but in her own manner. In that moment, she explained to us that her character and manera de ser was like that because she used it to cover up the guilt that she feels from her past mistakes, but she's become tired and can't keep covering it. She started crying, almost uncontrollably, and said, "Quiero ser feliz, pero de verdad". We testified of the Atoning sacrifice, and she realized the only way she could be happy was through true repentance. She and her husband are now committed to getting married in preparation for their own baptisms, and their true goal is to be sealed as a family. Hermano Gianluca, one of the 3 sons, now has the full and complete support from his family for his baptism <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1816244067" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span>, and has a great testimony. He is pushing for the baptisms of his family, and we will see them in a near future, after their marriage. We have seen the Lord's hand in everything that has happened with the Familia Juárez. I know that God has prepared them, and that we have been used as instruments in His hands since the first day that we knocked their door.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">It's been such a great experience with their family, and after many lessons, testimonies, and visits from members, they are finally gaining their own testimonies. So many people could gain a testimony if they just gave it the chance, and after, they would see so many blessings in their lives. So many past mistakes that aren't just covered up and half-forgotten, but rather, wounds that can become completely healed, without marks or scars. Repentance is real, and I know because I have lived it, and continue using it every day. It really works!</span></div>

During the week, we also had 2 interchanges, with Elder Garrison and Elder Latimer (Casa Grande) and Elder Guerra and Elder Schwan (Esperanza), and we were able to work hard, find new people, and have some great lessons. We are working really hard and having a great time. I love being a missionary! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Love you bunches!</span></div>

<b>A quick post from Jonah. Glad he was able to go back and visit his first area - Cajamarca. We are getting so excited to see him - just a couple of weeks now!</b></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: , "helveticaneue"; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: , "helveticaneue"; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: , "helveticaneue"; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;">So this week has been a blast!! We've been working very diligently and have been extremely busy.. We're writing so late because our Pday got pushed back a little later in the day due to some mission conferences. It's been so wonderful!! Elder Montoya, from the Area Presidency, came to visit our mission and it was so poweful!!</span><br />
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;">
On Thursday, it was planned to have two separate conferences with him, each with 3 zones, and then on Friday night, we would be traveling up to Cajamarca for the last conference with just the one zone. Sooooo, what ended up happening, is Elder Montoya´s flight got delayed and he ended up getting to Trujillo early Thursday morning instead of Wednesday night, so we pushed the two first conferences together and had a mass meeting of 6 zones!! It was so great!! There were about 130ish missionaries all together! And, man, does Elder Montoya know how to bear testimony. I had NEVER heard such a powerful testimony of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon in my entire life, and I still remember clearly the strength of the Spirit that entered into me when he bore his testimony. It was undeniable, and made my own testimony grow ten-fold. I'm so glad that I was there, and that I got to hear his testimonies, and I feel excited to continue growing in my own and sharing it with everyone.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 1px;">
Directly after the conference, we had an interchange with Elder Wynn and Elder Angulo de León. It was soo cool! After almost 2 years, Elder Wynn and I proselyted again together and it was so cool to see how we had changed and how we have grown. Super fun. Friday night, we got on the 10pm bus up to Cajamarca, had another wonderful conference, got to see some sights (not sure if I'll get the pictures up...ojalá) Now we're getting ready to head back down on another night bus to be back for Sacrament meeting in our ward tomorrow. Busy, busy, busy jajaja, I love it.</div>

Anyway, not a ton of time to write, but I love you all so very much and want you to know that I am here in Perú because I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. A prophet of God in these days promised us that if we read the Book of Mormon every day, we will be more apt to hear the Spirit, more willing to resist temptation, more prepared to deal with our daily challenges, and more worthy to receive the blessings of heaven. I know personally that this is true, because for the past<br />
<div>
4 months, I have read the Book of Mormon every day, and I feel those blessings fully in my own life. I love the Book of Mormon because it helps me to be more sensitive to the Spirit and to those in my surroundings. It helps me be more like Christ, and that's why I HAVE to read it every day, because I want to be more like Him. I would invite you that if you're not reading it every day, do it. If you've never read it, or even heard of it, try it, and experience the difference. I love you and share this with you because I love you. Have an excellent week and keep getting up after falling down!<br />

<b>As he draws closer to the end of his mission, I find it amazing that he continues to work like he just started. This week he in an email he said, "</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I think I might ease up a little bit too if I actually felt like I was finishing...but I don't feel that at all hahaha.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This week has been pretty fantastic, and as usual, very busy. We were able to have 2 interchanges with some different Elders which always changes things up a bit, and we got to end our week with a visit to the temple today which was wonderful! We got to attend a sealing of a family that the Bentley's (the couple missionaries) had helped out while they were in Pacasmayo. It was the first time that I had attended a temple sealing since we were sealed together as a family with Gabriel...16 years ago. So that was a really special experience......and you can call me crazy..but when we were there, a memory of that day came and hit me like a truck full of onions jaja. Something special, done during the ordinance, made me remember when I did the same thing with my family. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/temples&source=gmail&ust=1502731420457000&usg=AFQjCNFL7oqiQ4HQApS1fiponlyAeB8tSA" href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/temples" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.mormon.org/<wbr></wbr>beliefs/temples</a> <==== Super cool.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So during the week, we had some ups and downs, but that's usually how life is jaja. We had been preparing a few people to be baptized for this week and the next, but it looks like a few personal problems have gotten in the way and will have to be postponed, but that's okay, we're still excited for them to get baptized later on. We have been able to find several people this week that are really excited to learn more about the restored gospel and are willing to make changes in their lives in order to live what God wants us to live. It's kind of amazing how many people we come into contact with during a week, and how different everyone is from one another. It's even cooler to see how the same gospel can relate and connect to everyone's problems and needs as well. Most people don't realize it because they have never given it the chance nor the idea. But when people start to actively use their faith, they quickly realize that a hole they never knew they had, begins to be filled. It's so great to be a part of that process, and it's why I love being a missionary!</div>

Both of the interchanges were great and we were able to work hard and find great people. Just today was Elder Melendrez's birthday! We got to go to the temple and eat Chili's for lunch so I'd say it has been pretty great!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all so much and I hope you have a wonderful week! I know that the power of God exists and that in the holy temples we can make promises with Him to have eternal families. I know that my family is forever, and that's why I do all in my power to be obedient and follow Christ. Because I want to live with my family after this life. Love you all!!</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">The final few emails are coming in and it looks like Jonah will stay busy as the Assistant to the President. Last week he mentioned that they spent almost the entire day cleaning their apartment so in this weeks letter he explains that they are getting a visit from a General Authority (a higher up leader in the Church). Just a few photos this week.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">The week has been super crazy!! But great! Haha, that's what I always say, but yeah whatever. We had the leadership council </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_914746129" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">, and it was great! We really felt the Spirit the whole time, and all of us left the meeting feeling really inspired to work harder and more efficiently. That's always the point of these meetings, but there was something special about it this time. I'll miss those meetings a lot; a lot of great ideas get tossed around by some excellent missionaries. Right after the meeting, we had an interchange with the Cajamarca Zone Leaders, Elder Cuellar and Elder Olsen. Elder Olsen was trained by Elder Rios, so we got to talk about how great of a companion he was for us...we had some pretty funny stories about him.</span><br />

Oh yeah! So last Sunday, we found a super awesome family! Gino, Patricia, and Franco. They are a married couple with their one 17 year old son. The Lord has been preparing them for some time now..especially Patricia, the mom. After teaching the first lesson about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, they both told us that they knew what we were saying was true. The only hold-up is that they work a lot and they feel like they won't be prepared to be baptized too soon. We assured them that they will be able to be ready if they do their part, read the Book of Mormon, and pray to know that it's true. We're praying a lot for them and we hope that they will be baptized the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_914746130" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">2nd of September</span></span>. Also, Adriana, the less active from last week, went to church with her two daughters and Mikaela, the one that is not a member yet, will be baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_914746131" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">next Saturday</span></span>. The Primary is planning out all of the details, and we're excited to see her prepared so quickly.</div>

Yeahhh....so we are going to be having a mission visit by one of the General Authorities of our Area and his wife will be checking the rooms...and we're pretty certain that they will come to ours, because it's close to the office. By the way...because of the General Authority visit (Elder Montoya), Elder Melendrez and I will be going to Cajamarca here <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_914746132" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in 2 weeks</span></span>, so that'll be fun! It's been a while since I've been there, it'll be nice to breathe some fresh air. We got a nurse, but still a little scary. The package came!! Thank you so much for the chewy sprees and the letters! By far the best part haha, but thank the YW group for me for doing that. It was really nice of them. Good to hear about the family. I love you so much!! More than room checks and kittens! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Week 99 and he is still making mistakes. Ok - just keep reading and you will find out that it might not be such a bad thing to make mistakes every once in a while. So excited for Jonah to have a great new companion who is ready to work hard. </b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hey, not a lot of time to write, we were busy cleaning our room basically the whole day, which was good because now our room is so dang clean! Uhh! That's a big blessing there haha. Anyway, this week has been fantastic, and bitter-sweet. I'll get down to the nitty gritty.</span></span></div>

All her family are members and they live where Elder Nuñez is now at, in El Milagro, so they came to the baptism. When her mom, younger brother, and younger sister saw her, they all ran to each other and embraced and cried. It was such a happy day for them, and you could see the love in their eyes. It was a very moving experience. The baptism went great; we had a single return missionary baptize her, hoping to maybe set the two of them up together hahahaha, we'll see how that goes haha! That would help her a ton to maintain active in the Church haha. Anyway, it's a tactic.</span></div>

I love Elder Nuñez so much, he's been such an incredible companion and we've seen some pretty amazing miracles together. Recently, we have found several chosen people that Elder Melendrez and I will hopefully be able to baptize in these next few months. I'm so grateful for Elder Nuñez and all that he has done for me as my companion. Now it's time for a new era in my mission. Elder Melendrez is so incredible! He is so focused and diligent and hardworking! We are going to have a blast together and I'm so excited for the results that we will have together. I feel like his is training me more than I'm training him haha, he's such a wonderful missionary.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One quick experience from this last week. The secretaries had a baptism <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_798241108" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_798241109" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9:30am</span></span>, and it was rescheduled at last minute, so we were not able to invite anybody to it, so in a last minute effort to get people to go, we sent off a text invitation the morning of to every single investigator in our phone contacts. Seconds later, someone responded and said that they were excited for the invitation and would definitely be there. When I looked at who it was...I didn't recognize the name. Taking a better look at it....I still didn't know, so we called, and it turned out to be a less active that I had accidentally marked as an investigator. She said that she was wanting to return to the Church, but felt embarrassed, and didn't know how, and was so grateful for the invitation and knew that it would be the way back. I was dumbfounded....and grateful as well that I had messed up and marked her as an investigator. We scheduled a appointment with her as well for that same afternoon. She arrived early to the baptism and told us that she wants to bring all of her kids to church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_798241110" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span>, two of which are non-members. That afternoon, we came to the house, taught a lesson about the blessings of the Restored Gospel and invited her daughter to baptized for the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_798241111" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">12th of August</span></span>, which she eagerly accepted. It was sucha powerful experience, and marking it wrong in the phone was definitely the best mistake I have ever made haha!</span></div>

<b>This week was the final transfer prior to Jonah finishing his mission. It looks like Jonah will be ending his mission in the Primavera area continuing to work as an AP. One of his favorite companions, Elder Nunez, has been transferred and Jonah will be working with Elder Melendrez. I am sure he will be another favorite companion to work with. Sometimes the AP will finish the mission working in a non-leadership position but Jonah and Elder Nunez were both finishing at the same time so he will stay and train a new AP.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So this week has been a wonderful one!! Thank you all for your birthday wishes, I had a great birthday here in the field! I was honestly not expecting anything to happen, and tried to tell as few people as possible haha, but Elder Nuñez, Elder Morote, and Elder Moore got me a really nice birthday cake and we celebrated a little back in the room. It was super nice of them, and they did a good job of keeping it a surprise. Anyway, we've been keeping really busy with all of the transfers..I think it's now safe to share what is going to happen.</span></div>

So Elder Nuñez and I are both finishing together so we knew that we weren't going to be able to stay a 5th transfer together. So for this next transfer, Elder Nuñez will be heading out to a new area, and I will be receiving a new companion. Elder Nuñez is going to El Milagro with an excellent missionary, Elder Vassau! He's going to have such great experiences serving out their and will probably be somewhat relieved to not have a leadership position....especially since he has had one since he had 3 months in the mission haha. He's pretty excited to focus on only his companion and his area. So that means that Elder Melendrez will be my new companion here in Primavera! Elder Melendrez is such an incredible missionary, and I'm excited to start working with him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_703149512" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Monday</span></span>. He has about a year in the mission and is a powerful missionary. I worked with him around 2 weeks ago on an interchange and we had a wonderful day and saw many miracles. From what I know about him, he's from Lima, from San Juan de Miraflores, he's a convert from the age of 15, and right now he is 26 years old. He used to be a salsa singer (the dance, not the chip accompaniment haha), his parents aren't members, and he's given up A LOT of things in order to be here as a missionary. He's a pretty incredible person, and I feel honored to be his companion.</div>

In this past week, we continued helping Hermana Yemely (the lady we found from last week with Elder Latimer), and just yesterday, she passed her baptismal interview! So everything will take place as planned for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_703149513" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span>, and next week, I will send fotos of the baptism. She is SO excited to get baptized and has been inviting a lot of different people for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_703149514" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span>. We've been taking advantage of date, and are inviting all of her neighbors and other investigators to come and see. I always like to see the expression of people's faces to hear that baptisms are sacred, but public events, and that any person can go and see one. It's always a really special experience to witness a baptism, and if you haven't ever seen one, or haven't been to one in a while, I invite you to go and see one again. There is a very sweet spirit that brings much peace and warmth..for those who are members, it will remind of you your special day as well. I still remember my baptism haha...I remember that I was smiling so much in the water, that when Dad put me under the water, a got a mouthful of font water. I said that the water didn't taste so great, but that I still kept smiling. I remember the talks about baptism and the Holy Ghost that Mom and Grandpa gave, and I still remember feeling something different during the whole day. And I remember those things as I attend baptismal services, and it's always a special occasion.</div>

During the past couple of days, we have also been a little busy with the transfers and everything, making lots of phone calls, and having a great time with the other Elders. Just about an hour ago, Elder Plazas just got here, who is going to be replacing Elder Morote as one of the secretaries. Changes are always hard but good. Haha, nothing gold can stay Ponyboy.</div>

I love you all so much! Sorry for the lack of details of the crazy week, but we're always on time crunches here. One other piece of extremely exciting news is that the Familia Vasquez, my first converts in the mission from Baños del Inca are getting ready to be sealed in August!! So that means that Elder Rios and I should be able to go the sealing next month!!!! Man, it's going to be so stinkin cool!! I will give more details about that when I learn the actual date. So excited!</div>

Talk to you all later!! Or as Elder Moore from Texas would say, see ya'll later!!</div>

We found some pretty incredible people and we're super pumped to be able to teach them and see how they progress. Almost all of the investigators are doing really well and we are helping several people to be baptized for the end of this month and the start of August. It's been a great week of hard work and special experiences.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> We had an interchange with Elder Rios and Elder Parkinson, and it was wonderful! With Elder Rios, we found someone that is currently having an identical conversion story as he did. Elder Rios was baptized in about a month after talking with live missionaries on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://mormon.org&source=gmail&ust=1500243695158000&usg=AFQjCNG4SiBn1__GWlIZ7F5nLXL3GFQ54Q" href="http://mormon.org/" style="color: #4285f4;" target="_blank">mormon.org</a> The story of María Paz started about 3 weeks ago when Elder McKamey and I contacted someone outside of their home and offered to unload the things in their car. They seemed impressed and accepted, and later he invited us to sit down in his home and we taught him the Restoration. It was a good lesson and he seemed reasonably interested so we planned a day to come back. The next night, we received a referral of someone that had looked on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://mormon.org&source=gmail&ust=1500243695158000&usg=AFQjCNG4SiBn1__GWlIZ7F5nLXL3GFQ54Q" href="http://mormon.org/" style="color: #4285f4;" target="_blank">mormon.org</a> and had asked to receive the missionaries and also wanted a Book of Mormon. Eagerly, we went to contact the referral, to find that it was the girlfriend of the young man we had contacted the other day. She was so interested in what we shared with her boyfriend that she wanted us to visit her and her whole family of 5. We have only been able to teach her so far due to the family's schedule, and we did that with Elder Rios this Wednesday. She accepted to be baptized on the 6th of August, but mentioned that she would be going to Cajamarca this weekend, but quickly committed to going to church with her family while in Baños del Inca, my first ward!! We are excited to meet the rest of the family next Wednesday.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br style="outline: 0px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> While with Elder Latimer, we had two appointments and they had both fallen through, so we started talking to the neighbors. Elder Latimer had served in Primavera for one transfer and remembered that he had taught someone close by to where we were. Interestingly enough, as soon as he said that, two cars pulled in front of us, the drivers got out yelling at one another, and it looked like they were going to fight, so we quickly got away from the scene, forgetting what Elder Latimer had just said. A couple minutes later, I remembered that he had mentioned that and so we decided to go and knock the door. When we got to the door, we figured that for some reason all of this was happening, and so we knocked the door, I was fairly disappointed that no one was there. But that was when lady passed by, stopped, looked at us, and almost kept walking, but we stopped her asked if she lived in the house that we had just knocked. She said no, but then asked us ''If I live around the corner, what chapel do I need to go to?'' That's when our eyes lit up. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span></span><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #313131; word-spacing: 1px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">It turns out that she had investigated the Church for more than a year and was finally going to be baptized, but something happened in the family and she moved away for about 3 months. 2 weeks ago, she moved to Primavera searching to resolve the family problem and be baptized. We taught her outside of her house and learned that she has an incredible testimony of the Book of Mormon, the Church, and all of the commandments. She had already paid tithing for several months before we met her that day and had a miraculous experience due to it. She eagerly accepted a baptismal date for the 23rd of this month and is also excited to share the gospel with her father, who is not a member yet. So many different things happened that day so that we could find her, and I know that not a single one of them was a coincidence. God prepares His children and He puts us where we need to be to find them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>A busy week of Zone conferences and training. They are trying lots of ways to meet and teach people. If you have any ideas please send him an email - jonah.babbel@myldsmail.net - and maybe try some Doritos with your next batch of guacamole! </b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;">We had such a great week. Here is a lttle bit about it. On Sunday, we had several investigators come to the church for the first time and it was really special to see how it was the perfect meeting to attend as well. It was fast and testimony meeting, and there were some incredibly powerful testimonies that members gave and the whole meeting was filled with the Spirit. The investigators loved the gospel principles class as well and we felt that everyone was excited to come back for next week. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;">On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we had zone conferences:</span></span><span style="color: black;">Tu: Primavera, Esperanza, Porvenir</span>W: Cajamarca (first time coming down), Guadalupe, Casa Grande<br />Th: Central, Este</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />It was super cool to see literally all of the missionaries within 3 days, and it was a blessing to finally meet some of the missionaries from Cajamarca that I had never met before! During the conference, we talked a lot about how to find new people to teach and we did a small training on that and President showed us some REALLY cool videos of Jeffrey R. Holland training the new mission presidents. I'm pretty sure it's on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://lds.org&source=gmail&ust=1499640635364000&usg=AFQjCNGbFFdK5FWwbuOv31Ts1txkwxn50Q" href="http://lds.org/" style="color: #4285f4;" target="_blank">lds.org</a> if you want to check it out. Anyway, it was awesome!<br />On Thursday, right after the zone conference, we did an interchange with Elder Turner and Elder Melendrez. They are two incredible missionaries that are really focused and are working really hard in their area. During the interchange, we took this giant Jesus Christ banner that we printed off a few weeks ago (in the fotos), and set it up in a park with table full of different types of mormon message cards and booklets. It was a really fun experience and we talked with a ton of people! We plan on trying it again in different parks in our area. Our area is in one of the more affluent places of Trujillo and so there are a lot of parks. In other areas, you can easily knock on peoples' doors and find people that way, but in our area it is a little more difficult because they are a little more closed-off and uninterested, so we tried doing this instead and it worked great! We always have to be creative in our work, and if we try something that doesn't work, then we should discontinue it and think of something new. We will be thinking of new things as well, but if you have any suggestions, let me know! Maybe Dad has some ideas that he tried in Brazil.<br />Just today, we went to Huanchaco which is right next to the beach. We heard there was a really good restaurant there so we tried it out, it was pretty delicious! I had a burrito and it was really funny because it said it came with chips and guacamole. I was surprised because it's like impossible to find tortilla chips in Trujillo, so that's why I got the burrito. When they brought it out, instead of tortilla chips, they had put a pile of Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos! Hahaha, but it was still really good..maybe I'll just start eating that instead haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Not a lot of time to share stories from the week, but here is one -<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">About 2 months ago, another Elder and I knocked doors close to the chapel and we found a young man that opened the door and told us to come back the next day. The result of this contact has been incredible. His younger brother Gianluca, has now attended church twice and has accepted a baptismal date for the 30th, but we know that this will only be the beginning. On Thursday night with Elder Melendrez on our interchange, we were able to teach the parents as well, and we taught a powerful lesson about the restoration. When Hermano Gianluca bore testimony of the answer he had received about the Book of Mormon, the parents stared at him, dumbfounded. We invited the parents to begin to read the Book of Mormon and attend church with their 3 sons, and they accepted. We promised them that they could gain a similar testimony to the that their son has already attained and the father then said ''after our son gets baptized, we might have to get baptized too'', looking at his wife. Just last night, we were able to return to teach the Law of Chasity and about Eternal Families. We are so excited to continue to teach the family, and we are so grateful that we decided to knock doors that day 2 months before. This is one of the most incredible families I've ever seen..I have never seen more organized and intelligent parents that know how to maintain the family united, and I know with assurance that the Lord has prepared them to receive the gospel. The Familia Juárez is the best!"</span></span><br />

<b>A quick letter from Jonah this week. It is so great that he gets to work with lots of different missionaries and see some of the old missionaries that he has worked with in the past. </b><b>The weeks are winding down. Jonah doesn't like to talk about finishing his mission but we are getting excited to see him. He has been such a great example of hard work and dedication to serving the Savior.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">The week has been really great! This week we had two interchanges (Cajamarca: Elder Carman and Elder Cuellar and then Guadalupe: Elder Wynn and Elder Angulo d' Leon) They are some stellar missionaries! Also, we had Consejo with all of the leaders in the mission and it was so great to see all of these missionaries together. It's always a faith builiding experience to have these consejos and to talk about the goals and plans that we have to be able to baptize more as missionaries. </span><br />

In our own area, we have been teaching a lot and we're still teaching the golden family, they're just struggling with the concept of getting married.....I swear, it's easier to baptize here than it is to get people married. It just doesn't happen that often haha. Anyway, we are still teaching them and they just need to work on their testimony of the Book of Mormon and if they obtain that, then they will get married and baptized without thinking twice. There's a couple pictures of some of the people we're teaching. The lady in the sweater with her chubby dad with the moustache is Sandy Agreda. She would have already been baptized if weren't for her schedule. She studies and works...every day from 8am till 10 or 11pm. We have to teach her early in the morning or at night sometimes when she doesn't have classes. She's great! The family with the London picture in the background is the Family Flores and they are super humble and super great. They have a lot of different struggles and problems, but they are working really hard to be able to go to church and the mom is trying to get her two kids organized and at church as well. They are really special people and the gospel will bless them so much! We have several people getting ready for baptism for this month, but a lot of them have difficult problems to get over. But Elder Nuñez and I have been working really hard to become missionaries of great faith. Through a lot of prayer, fasting, and hard work, we have faith that these people can enter into the waters of baptism and receive the biggest blessings of their lives. It's difficult to always have faith because it is easy to get discouraged when people choose poorly, but we have to trust in Christ and not in our own strength. Anyway...we are trying to get better at this.</div>

<b>This past week Jonah and Elder Nuñez were able to work with some missionaries in Casa Grande. This was one of his previous areas and also a previous area of Elder Nuñez. You can go back in the blog to weeks 63-74 (Casa Grande) if you would like to reminisce ;) They had a good time visiting their area and working with the missionaries that are there now. </b></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I'm sorry, not a lot of time to write, and we have a cita (appointment) at 6 so we have to head out a little early. We had a great week! We had 2 interchanges, with Elder Schwan, Elder Guerra, Elder McKamey, and Elder Alles. Arizona, Nevada, Chile, Argentina. They were some great interchanges and we met some pretty amazing people those days. One, is named Juan. Elder Nuñez and Elder Alles contacted him and then Elder Nuñez and I went back to teach him just yesterday and he is so sincere. Most people we teach aren't very sincere, or they become sincere as we teach them more, but Hermano Juan as real sincerity from the very start. During the lesson, he mentioned that ''God messed up when he made us because we are doomed from the day we are born. How does he expect us to be good enough to make it back to Him?". He also mentioned something about how it all had started with Adam and Eve, so we read with him in 2 Nefi 2 where it talks about the Fall and how it was part of the plan. When he read the verses, especially the one that says, "Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy", his face completely changed and tears welled up in his eyes. He was feeling the Spirit, and he knew that what the Book of Mormon said was true. He didn't know HOW that was true, so we explained it to him a little more and briefly explained why we are here and where we will go after this life, and he said ''I have never thought about it from that perspective''. We didn't have a lot of time to continue teaching him, but we invited him to come to church and to continue reading the Book of Mormon. He committed to doing both, and he did so with confidence. We then invited him to pray, and he said that he didn't know how to pray. We taught him, and he inclined to offer one. In his prayer, he thanked God for sending us to meet with him. And then he asked for forgiveness for all of the things that he had done in his life, and expressed his desire to be better and to follow Christ. It was such a powerful experience. When he ended, we all lifted our heads with tears in our eyes. He said that he was sorry for getting emotional and we laughed and said we're sorry too. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_394530824" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tomorrow</span></span>, we are picking him up and bringing him to Church and will be presenting him to the ward members. It is so cool to be a missionary and see that happen first-hand. It's such a blessing to be here, and that's why I always joke about not wanting to come home because it just won't happen quite like it's happening right now ever again. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Here is one other experience: One hermano told us that before he had talked to us, he had never had any interest in listening to any type of missionary. But when we offered to unload the things out of his car, he invited us in his home and sat down naturally to talk with us. In his prayer at the end of the lesson, he expressed his curiosity to God in learning more about the Plan of Salvation and commented that he was surprised at himself for letting us in. We know that he felt something different and, once again, thanks to Plan of Salvation, he has sparked a new interest in learning about who he really is. We also were contacting the surrounding the houses of the members and we had similar experiences as the first day."</span></span><br />

<b>In this week's news Jonah talks about a skit that they did for a ward activity. It is pretty funny to think that he had to act out a "bad gringo accent". I imagine at this point in time he has become quite confident with the Spanish language. We are looking forward to hearing him speak the beautiful Spanish language. Last week we were in Mexico and we did not have to "act out" a bad gringo accent -it came pretty naturally.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So this has been a wonderful week!! On Sunday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">, Hermana Teresa Castillo was baptized!!! It was such a great experience and there was a sweet spirit during the service. Although...she was TERRIFIED of the water hahaha, it was very difficult for her to trust herself to go underwater. We had the ward help to heat up the water so it was nice and toasty, but she still was struggling. It took a little coaching to finally get her under the water haha, but she did it! The pictures are of her and her husband before the baptism. Her husband has Alzheimer's and is losing his memory quite a bit. Apparently, about a year ago, he hated the missionaries and would sometimes throw them out or yell at them. But now, every time he sees us, he gets SO excited! One time, he tried running over to us, but his body wouldn't let him, haha, he might've forgotten that he couldn't run. He usually doesn't recognize our names or that we're missionaries, usually we're lawyers or doctors or old colleagues of his, but every time that we are able to teach the family, he loves listening and asking us questions. His name is Daniel. Anyway, it was a great baptism and Hermana Teresa is super excited to now share the gospel with all of her friends.</span></div>

It's always a little bit of organized chaos haha. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_486162427" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span>, we were able to receive the news, and go to the airport this time. The new missionaries usually only have two feelings going on. One, confusion. Hahaha. I totally get it, I remember my first day arriving from the airport. I was so confused and lost. Maybe it's a little easier for missionaries that actually speak Spanish. And two, excitement. Most of them are grinning from ear to ear, sometimes they don't know why they are, but there is never a glum face. It's so reinvigorating to see new missionaries and feel that fresh vibe come from them. I love it! So we trained them a little in the morning and got to know them better, they met their trainers, had a meeting, and headed out to start working! Always a fun day. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
During the week, we continued to teach the Villanueva family (Maybe I only mentioned that to my mom last week) and they are progressing very well! We were wanting to invite the whole family to be baptized for the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_486162428" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">16th of July</span></span>, but the Darwin (the dad) had left with Beatrice (the 10 year old daughter), so we were only able to teach Blanca (the mom). But we still felt that we should invite her to baptism and then invite the rest of them for next time. So we did, and she accepted! She seemed a little timid, but when she comes to church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_486162429" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>, we know that she will feel much more comfortable with her choice. They are such a wonderful family! Hopefully we can take a picture with all of them during the week. They have been prepared by the Lord!</div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It was very interesting...4 times this week, in distinct occasions, we have taught investigators about the <u>physical</u> resurrection and they have been completely blown away. They had no idea that that could ever happen and some of these people paused for long periods of time, thinking about how that knowledge changes everything they had ever planned on. They were so astonished and many did not believe us until we could show them both in the Bible and the Book of Mormon where it talks about the physical resurrection of all of God's children. In the area, we have been focusing on a new family that we found <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_486162430" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span>, and when we taught them about the resurrection, they were so happy and you could see it in their faces that they wanted to become an eternal family. It was incredible to see the results of having a full understanding of the Plan of Salvation and how it can completely change a person's perspective. I'm so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and I have been thanking Heavenly Father more about that ever since I realized that so many people do not know their eternal potential.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Just last night in the ward, we had a Father's Day Activity and it was so great!! We did a little number with the secretaries and we acted out a scene about Elder Nuñez training me at the start of my mission and that he was SUPER lazy but then he turned it around and then helped me out a lot. It mostly consisted of Elder Nuñez saying Argentine phrases and me talking in a REALLY bad gringo accent with bad grammer. We think the ward got a kick out of it. Anyway, the real best part about the activity is that we had the Villanueva family come and also several other investigators, plus a family that the secretaries are teaching. It was such a huge success and the investigators that came could really feel the warmth of the ward. We were so excited to present the whole world to the families that could make it, and the ward was so awesome in getting to know them and inviting them to family home evenings and inviting them to church for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_486162431" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Anyway, it was a busy week with a lot of cool miracles. I love being here! I'm so grateful to have the Restored Gospel in my life and that I understand who I am and who I can become. Life did start with our birth, nor will it end with our death. I know that because I have studied the scriptures and turned to prayer to know that God has a real plan for us and that we are a part of it. It gives me hope for the future, and I will depend on it when hard times and the deaths of loved ones come. If you want to know more about this plan or get a refresher, here's a cool link </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/purpose-of-life&source=gmail&ust=1497913576446000&usg=AFQjCNHz_bbZXJd2GhdcNAzykZ8hmPHizw" href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/purpose-of-life" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.mormon.org/<wbr></wbr>beliefs/purpose-of-life</a></span></div>

<b>I am updating this post while our family is on vacation. We were able to get an internet connection and send some pictures and get this great email and some pictures from Jonah. Looks like he will spend another 6 weeks with Elder Nunez. That will be a total of nearly 6 months and he is so happy about it. Read on for more great experiences this last week.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week has been an interesting one...with some really super good news!!! So we are in the last week of this transfer and Elder Nuñez and I have been together for 3 transfers already, which is a pretty long time, and almost nobody gets 4 transfers together (its probably happened like three times that I've ever heard of). Anyway, we were pretty sure that one of us was going to leave, especially because its not likely that missionaries end in the office either. So we were ''cherishing every moment'' haha and just having a really great time these last 6 weeks, but then we were shown the new transfers that were going to happen, and Elder Nuñez and I are staying together for our 4th transfer!!!! We were seriously so pumped when we found out! There's a lot of work to be done and we feel like this will be a good transfer for baptisms. There is a family of 3 and a few other people preparing for baptism this next month and in July so we are excited to see what happens.</span><br />

So we have been working with this lady named Teresa Castillo for a really long time, but kind of off and on because sometimes she was really busy with different things and got a little distanced from the Church, but just recently, she has finished with the busyness and is ready to get completely focused. So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_4861017" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span>, she is going to be baptized and the next week she will be confirmed! She got to know the Church about 2 years ago, and thanks to the hard work of many missionaries and through her own diligence recently, she will now be greatly blessed for this covenant that she will do <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_4861018" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>. We are super excited for Hermana Teresa. Our prayers have been answered and hers as well. I will be sending pictures for next week..hopefully everything turns out okay! Just yesterday, we visited her with our new bishop and it was such a powerful lesson. She had been worried about the principle of tithing for a long time, not because she didn't want to sacrifice, but because she didn't want to fail a single month in paying. So the Bishop bore an amazing testimony about his own family and how he was able to keep the law of tithing even as a very young couple while the two were both studying still in college and how many miracles occurred so that they could continue to fulfill this commandment. It reminded me of my parents...I remember them talking about their time as a very young family of 3, and that it was a large sacrifice at times, but that miracles would always occur to keep them moving along. It's interesting because in the scriptures it says that we should ''prove'' Him and His words and His blessings. I know that the Lord always fulfills His promises, and that as we live the commandments with faith, we can receive far more blessings that we can even receive. I've lived the Lord's promises, and I know that they are real, and that's the most amazing part. It's not just listening to someone talk about blessings anymore. It's actually receiving them and being rewarded for righteousness. That's one of the most important principles that I've learned on my mission so far. It sounds really simple, but the reality is that until we act on faith, or obey, we cannot receive any blessing. Duh, right? Haha, but its cool when it happens and you see it in your own life. Anyway, Hermana Teresa is going to be doing that as well <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_4861019" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span>, and we're really excited for her.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

It'll be a fun and packed week.</div>

I'm excited to be here on a mission! I love every moment of it, and I'm still in denial that it's more than half-way over. I love you all so much! And I hope that you have a wonderful week! If you want to know if God is real, or if His blessings exist, try acting. Just try it and see if it works, and I can promise that you will feel something new and fulfilling. Have an action-packed week!! Love you! </div>

<b>Today's letter is going to contain some info from two letters. One letter was written to everyone and some additional info pulled from a letter to his Mom. He did not have time for pictures this week but I was able to find a couple that were posted last week on Facebook from Sister Marble. He promises new pictures for next week!</b></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So this last week has been pretty nuts. We had all 3 of the zone conferences that we're involved in, so we saw all of the missionaries in the whole mission except for Cajamarca in these past few days. This a list of all the zones:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Casa Grande (18 missionaries - Stake - 1 to 1 1/2 hours north of Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Cajamarca (22 missionaries - Stake - 7 hours north of Trujillo)</div>

Central (24 missionaries - Stake - Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Esperanza (26 missionaries - Stake - Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Este (22 missionaries - Stake - Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Guadalupe (16 missionaries - District - 3 to 4 hours north of Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Porvenir (18 missionaries - Stake - Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Primavera (14 missionaries - Stake - Trujillo)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Oficina (4 missionaries - technically in the primavera stake, but don't count as a part of the 14 missionaries in the primavera zone)</div>

They are usually very happy and very excited because you don't see each other quite as much when you are further outside of Trujillo. Although some of them have a 4 hour bus ride and the conference always starts at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1232316032" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8am</span></span> so you can do the math to see how much they sleep the night before haha.

It's our largest group and for whatever reason, they are usually the livelier missionaries haha.</div>

On those 3 days, we taught the missionaries about the role of the Holy Ghost, and how to teach our investigators to recognize it. It was a cool topic, and we enjoyed getting prepared for it as well.</div>

Today was tranquilo, we did a lot of cleaning in our room and I went with Elder Moore so that he could go buy some scripture cases..it was really laid back, but I just kinda felt lazy with writing, so that's why I'm taking so long, sorry! </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black;">Here's an experience that I shared with President in my letter to him today:</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black;">During this past week, we have actually been able to find several new people to teach that have been great references from the ward. The members are now taking us to visit their friends and family and we feel that we will start to have much more success now. Also, a very special experience happened in these past few days; during our training <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1232316035" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span>, a lady came to the chapel and rang the doorbell asking if she could talk with missionaries. Hermana Bentley let her in and began talking to her, and it appeared that she had been looking for the missionaries for quite some time, but with little success. Hermana Bentley took her into a room, sat her down, and began talking with her. This lady expressed her desires to form a part in a church and to become closer to Christ and said that she wanted to help her family do the same, and began to cry, saying ''I never cry, why am I crying?'' Hermana Bentley explained to her the role of the Spirit (exactly what we were training about in a different room at the same time), gave her a Book of Mormon, got her address and phone number and told her that missionaries would come soon. That day, we called and set an appointment to visit her <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1232316036" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1232316037" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">2:30pm</span></span>. We knocked on her door the next day, and saw that she had been waiting for us. We taught the Restoration to her and her 10 year old daughter outside of the door, and they ate up our words. We asked them both what their desires were and this sister's daughter said that she had always wanted to be baptized and follow Christ. Her mother was in awe and broke into tears. She told us, ''I have never heard my daughter so happy and excited to do something before in my life!'' We invited both of them to be baptized and they both accepted, and also committed to come to church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1232316038" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1232316039" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday</span></span>, we will be teaching them again with her husband as well. It was such a wonderful experience and it became very clear to us that she had been prepared by the Lord and that after months of searching, her prayers were finally answered.</span></span></span></div>

Love you all!<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;"><b>Great Letter from Jonah this week. I just love his perspective on being grateful for what we have and how truly blessed we are. And also another piece of advice: Just go serve a mission you won't regret it!</b></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hello! This week has been so great and was full of work and walking..but it totally paid off! We started off the week with this great activity called ''Capilla Abierta''...I honestly don't know how the title is in English..maybe Open Chapel or maybe just Open House...not sure. Anyway, it was organized by the Area, which means the same activity is being done in every chapel within Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Perú. So its a very well put on activity that the Bentley's have been doing in our mission for the past couple months. Last Saturday, we got to do it in our own chapel and it was so great! There were guided tours with all the members and their auxiliaries and then a reference table with a bunch of free things to take home. It was really cool because several people (about 100) went through the church that had never seen inside before. It really helped us to get to know people that were interested in the Gospel as well, and we are starting to visit some of the people that went through and were interested enough to leave their name, number, and address. We have been visiting these people and also the secretaries and because of it, we have found a few different families that are now progressing well. During the activity, we were in charge of talking to everyone in the streets and trying to get them interested in the activity. It was SUPER FUN!! We were going nuts, trying to catch the people before they would run away... hahaha it was probably pretty funny to watch because someone people really didn't want to talk to us, but we would sort of chase them down and everything, but yeah, anyway, we had a great time.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Later on in the week, we were able to have 2 different interchanges. First, we were with Elder Argueta and Elder Parkinson, and we had a great time. With Elder Parkinson, we found several potential investigators and also taught some of the people that we have met in the highly damaged area from the mud slides. People are still without homes in some places and are still cleaning up all of the mud and dirt. Its crazy how much dirt has been here in Trujillo, and its even crazier that its still here. The next time you feel like complaining about how slow the wi-fi is in your room or that they got your order mixed up at Chipotle....just be grateful that your house hasn't been full of sewage mud for 2 months and that you live on dirty mattresses on the concrete floor. There's a lot to be grateful for :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Anyway, the next day, we had another interchange with Elder Ledesma and Elder McKamey. With Elder Ledesma, we were heading to an appointment that we had taken out with Elder Parkinson the day before and we thought that it was just going to be this 15 year old kid, but we found out that it was this whole family of 5 and that they are really willing to listen to us and try new things. We taught a small lesson with a part of the family and were able to gain their trust quickly and we're really excited to go back <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_306611371" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>. Hermana Yanina, the mom, reminds me of Mom haha, she is a strong believer in having her kids stay very active, and she does everything she can to hold the family together tightly. Hahaha, she was the first mother I've met here that also has the ''one hour of screen time'' rule in the house. They should be a wonderful family that hopefully can get new answers to the questions they have always had.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
After our interchanges, Elder Nuñez and I are always really happy to be companions again because its a little more than 2 days that we don't get to be together. Don't get me wrong, I love doing interchanges, but its always nice to meet back up with my best friend.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I love you all so much! I'm so happy here and I'm enjoying every second of every day....even when its hard and maybe things don't go how we would like them to go, at the end of the day, I'm always so grateful to God that I can be here in Peru to teach the restored gospel. There has been NO decision in my life more important or of more worth than deciding to serve as a missionary. If you are considering, thinking about, questioning, or even doubting going on a mission, I invite you to just go. There is nothing better, I can promise you. I love you a whole bunch!! Have a wonderful week!</div>

First of all, we were given a wonderful reference and were able to contact it quickly, and it seemed as if she had been anxious to see us. She came up to the missionaries and asked for other missionaries to come to her house because she was struggling with depression for 3 years now due to the death of her mother and wanted answers that only the Plan of Salvation can give. She ate up our words and felt the Spirit strongly as we testified that she would not only be able to see her mother again, but also hug her, and hold her hand again, and live with her forever, with a resurrected body. It was a very touching moment to see that she had clearly heard that for the first time. Elder Klossner always seems to teach everyone the importance of loving everyone, and he really helped me during the interchange to live in the moment and act out of love. Such a cool experience with this hermana (Sandy).</span></div>

So today, we went with Pres. and Sis. Marble to Otuzco (hour and a half away from Trujillo), to go see a baptism of two Elders because today was our Pday! It was so much fun!!! Most of the pictures are from this morning and afternoon. Anyway, we had a great time with them, and it was really cool just because that was the first time that they have ever done something with the office missionaries on Pday since they've been here, so it was way fun to spend almost the whole day with them! I love you so much!</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;"><b>So just a quick note from Jonah this week but we were able to spend a nice long hour on a video call with him for Mother's Day. We had such a fun time visiting with him. Arin and Kelsey were here to let him know that he is going to be an uncle in November! He looks great and looks so happy. He talked about his companion Elder Nunez and we were able to visit with him. The funny thing was he did not want to talk about coming home or on what day he will be finished with his mission. The funny thing was that he didn't want to hang up the call either. Such a great missionary - We love him.</b></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hello!!! We went to lunch today and took forever...haha we always take a while at McDonalds just so we can savor it. Pretty sad huh? I used to hate McDonalds. Yeah, last week was nuts, but still it has been busy because of the interchanges and just getting out and proselyting every day. We were pretty wiped by Friday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> night, its always to have a time to relax a little more. Yeah I get pretty good sleep..on a normal day I get anywhere from 7 to 8 hours of sleep which is great. Occasionally it'll be like 6, but that's pretty rare, maybe once or twice a month. We try to not work in the room. But sometimes we have too haha. I'm doing great! Honestly, I'm probably less sick than at home haha, I've only had to stay in because of sickness like twice in my whole mission and one time it was on a Pday so it didn't even count. A lot of people get colds and stuff but I've only had a cold maybe once on the mission. And I only had the Nacho Libre squirts at the very start of my mission. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">We had a great week, on an interchange with Elder Rios, we found a really cool family that used to receive the missionaries about 4 or 5 years ago, but then their evangelist family members told them that they were liars and from the devil (not an uncommon thing to hear here haha), and so they stopped. But we surprised them the other day and their 21 year old son let us in. The mom was actually pretty upset that we were let in, but then we had a great small lesson with them and we are excited to come back this Tuesday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">. Also, Hoyjaní showed up again and is planning on coming to church Sunday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> with her daughter. She has a baptismal date for the 28th of this month.</span><br />

<b>I am always impressed by Jonah's positive attitude and his willingness to serve. I am also impressed by the many great quotes and pieces of advice, I am looking forward to hearing how they sound in Spanish. Next week we get email Saturday and a video call on Sunday! No pictures this week but I found some posted by Sis. Marble on the Mission Facebook page.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well, this week has been such a wonderful one!! We've kept really busy with different trainings and interchanges, and I really enjoyed a quick little nap just a little bit ago. It's been crazy! I'll try to get the details in.</span><br />

We weren't able to go to the airport this time, but we still helped with some of their training. The trainers this transfer were SO excited to be able to train, it just was so great to see. The trainers always come in and have to wait a little bit before they can see their new companions, and they were dying! They were seriously like little kids at Christmas! There are some fantastic missionaries in this missionary that we are blessed to have. They help inspire us to be better and be more excited about everything that we do. Seriously blessed to be here with these missionaries.</div>

I hadn't taught with Elder Wynn for SO long! It was so cool to have a day to be back with my MTC companion....a lot has changed since we were last companions haha. We spent a wonderful day together and were able to teach some great people. It was really funny...we are really white so everyone was yelling ''gringo'' at us. Then we also taught a lesson out on somebody's porch with about 10 kids and one adult all in a circle with a bunch of chairs. They were all huddled together paying really close attention and looking at the picture book that we brought with us. Elder Wynn told them to raise their hands if they had a question and they all were so obedient and quiet and always raised their hands. It was a neat little experience there and quite spiritual.</div>

We got to break off into groups and we had some building experiences about how to be better Christ-like leaders. It was great! Right as we finished the meeting, we were able to have another interchange, but with Cajamarca, Elder Cuellar and Elder Carman. Elder Cuellar is a new zone leader and he has so much energy! He teaches really well and he helped me a lot to simplify my teaching which I struggle with sometimes. It was another great interchange!</div>

It was a busy week! But it was so great being busy, it keeps us focused on the right things. I love being a missionary! I love you all so much, and hope you have an incredible week! ¡Hagan lo justo! And be creators of the situations, not creations of the situations. Love you!</div>

<b>Here is the latest from Trujillo. Not sure where all of the pictures were taken, but some place they visited for P-day. It sure will be fun to catch up on all of the things he has done and the places he has visited. Does it sound like I am counting down the days?</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Another wonderful week has flown by here in Trujillo. This past one has been filled again with interchanges, teaching, and miracles. It seems to be sort of a pattern in the mission, it's pretty great to be able to see so many things here, and see how much easier it is to follow Christ than any other thing. That's kind of something I've thought about a lot during the mission. I feel like a lot of people, especially here in Trujillo, have a hard time ''changing their lives to follow Christ'' because they have the fear of failing after they try or they are too caught up in the way they're living right now. Most people think that it would require radical changes in order to be a member, and in some cases that's true, but in the majority, it's not. Becoming a disciple of Christ is usually a process that requires faith, love, humility, and patience. It means choosing something difficult to receive a reward that we can't see yet. Some feelings are difficult to receive and to feel, like long-lasting peace, hope, forgiveness, and can only truly be received through living how Christ taught us to live. And the only way to really find out if it's the truth isn't just by believing someone for it, it's by trying it out for yourself with sincere intent and a willingness to accept that it might work. That's basically the only thing we do as missionaries is to invite others to try it and watch it work miracles in their own lives, always respecting the freedom to choice of every person. If I hadn't tried it myself in my own life, I wouldn't be in Perú, and I definitely wouldn't be a missionary. And that's why I love being here so much because I'm just sharing what I know is true to other people and hoping and praying that they can recognize the worth. It's the best!!</span><br />

Anyway, this week has been great! We had a great interchange with the zone leaders in Porvenir and in Primavera. Elder McKamey and Elder Larrosa are in the Porvenir zone and it was such a blast working with them, we were able to teach a lot and find several new people. Elder Larrosa is going home <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_728080051" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Monday</span></span> so we sent him out to contact for the whole day so that he could stay focused hahaha! But they were able to meet and teach some incredible people so that's really cool. Later, we were with Elder Argueta and Elder Parkinson and we were able to do some great services those couple days. The cleaning in the main part of the city is winding down a lot and is almost back to normal, just with lots of road damages. Further up in the high part of Trujillo is still quite affected and there are still lots of service projects going on there, but luckily, the government has responded and is doing a lot to help. It's been a wild experience to go through all of that stuff, and we very thankful that it wasn't any worse than it was.</div>

Update on Hermana Hoyjaní......it seems that her phone has either been broken or stolen because her phone number is no longer in service and the number no longer exists....its very difficult to find her in her home, so we have been searching for her. Today, we will try to find the hermanita that was giving the job, but she is hard to find as well. Anyway, we're sitting on pins and needles with the whole situation and I will hopefully can give the good news next week. We'll be praying!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><b>I love the stories Jonah tells about the people that he meets and how their lives are changed. Sometimes seemingly 'simple coincidences' become life changing interventions and blessings from our Heavenly Father. Jonah has a great story exemplifying this with Hermana Hoyianí.</b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hey, this week has been quite wonderful! We were blessed with a lot of different things and we had one of the coolest spiritual experiences of my whole mission. It was a great week :)</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2137231496" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span>, we had our last zone conference with the Casa Grande and Guadalupe zones. It's always great to see them because they have to come in from a little further away (Casa Grande is an hour away and Guadalupe is around 3 hours away). In the fotos that I uploaded, there was one with 3 other missionaries and me. They are Elder Rios, Elder Olsen, and Elder Moncada. I trained Elder Rios, Elder Rios trained Elder Olsen, and Elder Olsen trained Elder Moncada. SO COOL!! I love these missionaries, they are all so great. Every one of them works so diligently and have such great attitudes even when things get rough. Anyway, we had a great conference that <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2137231497" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span> and it was great to see all the missionaries from my past zone in Casa Grande.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Later on in the week, we had such a great experience, that was more of a string of events that really showed how much God does to make people meet in the most precise times. Before I got to the area, Elder Nuñez and his companion had met an hermana and her daughter that came from Chimbote (2 hours south of Trujillo) that had talked with missionaries and was almost baptized, but a lot of difficult things happened the same week that she was going to be baptized and she had to leave everything and all of her belongings in Chimbote and come to live in Trujillo without even knowing anyone here, knowing where she was going to live, or what she was going to do to make money. Elder Nuñez was only able to teach them once and then they kind of disappeared, and we had only heard from her over the phone and she was struggling a lot, but could never meet with us. So last Wednesday, we went to go eat out at a place that we had never eaten before and when we were leaving, we happened to run into this hermana (her name is Hoyjaní), so we sat down with her there in the restaurant and talked to her for a little while. She told us that everything was pretty hard right now, and that her daughter got into a car accident and is now in physical therapy and that her work was going really poorly. We encouraged her but she was not convinced of doing something different yet, but we set up a different appointment and went to go teach her again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2137231498" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span>. When we got to her house, she wasn't there. We were disappointed to find that her phone was off as well. We started heading over to a different person, when we found Hermana Hoyjaní walking towards her house. We stopped her and began talking and expressed her worries about her daughter and work again, when we remembered that someone we had just met was looking for someone to help take care of someone with poor health. We offered that to her and called the person up right there to ask. We passed the phone over, and it turned out that Hermana Hoyjaní had a lot of experience in the field and was a certified nurse. She set up an interview for the next day and seemed very pleased but very quiet. She asked us if we could go to a park to talk with her and so we found one close by and sat down on a bench. We started with a prayer and talked to her about the blessings she has received and what she can do to thank God for them. She seemed much more sincere and willing to change. At the end of the short 10 minute lesson, we asked her to offer the prayer. She began to pray and then began to cry and expressed her love for God and for all that He was doing. She asked for forgiveness for not looking for the Church and the missionaries sooner and promised that she would be more diligent in seeking Him. She ended the prayer and we all had tears in our eyes and had felt the Spirit so strongly. It was so incredible. Today, she called us at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2137231499" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">12pm</span></span> and told us that the interview went very well and that she will hear back this Thursday. She also told us that she had made sure to get Sundays off so that she could come to church. We are so happy for her and are having so many great experiences with the Spirit! We love helping people so much, but we are not good enough to fulfill all of our desires, so that's when God comes puts everyone where they need to be at the right time. We are praying for her that she can get the job and start to live the Gospel.</div>

<b>I find it amazing to think about all of the missionaries in Jonah's mission, and the other many missions, out in the homes of the Peruvians helping to rebuild and clean up. The missionaries and the church have provided some great relief in the flooded areas of Peru. Here is a <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/news/church-offering-relief-to-tens-of-thousands-of-flood-weary-peruvians?lang=eng">link</a>. So happy Jonah is finding joy in service. Here is his latest news!</b></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So, this week has been a great one! We've been keeping really busy, still doing a lot of service, but also getting back to training and teaching again. It's also been really great to be here during Semana Santa and tomorrow with Pascua. So here in Perú, it has a lot of Spanish traditions which includes Semana Santa, which is basically like celebrating Easter but the whole week. Except there aren't any Easter eggs haha. So if you look at the life of Jesus Christ, His last week was a very special one, and it was kind of a roller coaster. Yesterday, Friday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">, He was crucified and laid in the tomb, and tomorrow, Sunday, He rose again. Everyone here has been celebrating in a lot of different ways, and we have been sharing different messages about the Resurrection, and it's been a wonderful experience. Just today, we were sitting in a combi (it's like a van that's used for public transportation), and we shared a message to everyone onboard about the importance of Easter today. If you want to know more about Holy Week, </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
here's a cool link <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.mormon.org/easter/easter-week&source=gmail&ust=1492527587022000&usg=AFQjCNFw5L4aKOB_3JkEmTmscP8v_vzg_g" href="https://www.mormon.org/easter/easter-week" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.mormon.org/easter/<wbr></wbr>easter-week</a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During this week, we had 2 different multi-zone conference trainings and they were really fun! We were able talk about extending commitments and we did different practices with the missionaries. It's always really fun to see all of the missionaries together, and it helps us to keep us improving so that we can help the other missionaries as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are still doing services here, but it's a lot less wet which is great. We were helping the same Hermana Juana this week, and we had to tear down her entire roof, so Elder Nuñez and I had a great time with that haha. So the roofs here sometimes vary a lot, but this particular roof was made out of something called calamina (not sure if there's a word for it in English..) but it's basically like metal pieces that kind of fit together, and you just nail it into wood so that it stays. <i>(I think he is talking about corrugated tin) </i>They leak a lot, but most people are okay with it because it basically never rains here.....but it just happened to rain A LOT here, so people were in pretty bad shape. To take her roof off, we just used a ladder and a couple hammers and a brick, and did a mini-demolition kinda thing. Now we just need to get new calamina up and her house will be as good as new, so that'll be great. She couldn't make it to church because of sick kids, but she is very committed for this week. We are so excited for her!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For Pday today, we went to 2 places called Shirán and Poroto, and it was SO COOL!!!! It's like halfway in between the mountains and the coast so it is still hot and humid, but there are huge mountains surrounding it. We took a combi out there and then went out to a look-out that was really beautiful. It was a great little adventure with the group.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, that was basically our week! We're doing great and we're loving every moment. I hope everyone can have a great Holy Week and Easter! Remember why it's a holiday and be grateful for the sacrifice that He made! I love you all so much!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hey so we had a super fantastic week!!! I had mentioned the General Conference from last week, and that there were some awesome talks, and they just kept getting better. We had such a great Priesthood Session this year! I loved both Eyring's and Uchtdorf's talks, they were so special. The next day, we had two more wonderful sessions, an announcement of the new Pocatello Idaho Temple (YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!), and then, right after the last session, Kenia had her baptism!!! It was SOOOOO great!! Wow, seriously, it was a great baptismal service, it was spirit-packed. We had been kind of rushed with all of the details with conference, and trainings, and mud-slides, so we didn't have the chance to explain Kenia's part about her testimony; we just briefly mentioned it to her. Luckily, she had been paying close attention the week before during the fast and testimony meeting, and learned perfectly how to do so. After she was baptized, she had her chance to shine with the testimony, and said something along these lines, ''I am so grateful to be here today, I'm grateful for all the love and support that I have received from all of you. I come from Huanuco (a long ways from here, up in the mountains) and for many years, I have gone from church to church, looking for something that fills me. I'm give thanks to God that He let me find His church, and I know it is the true church. I know that I'm on the right path, and God has filled me.'' She said it with such conviction and such faith, it just filled the room completely with the sweetest spirit. We're so happy for Hermana Kenia! She has already started to share mormon messages on her Facebook, and we gave her some cards with Jesus Christ and has been inviting people to church with these cards. She is so excited to share the Gospel and will give a great new light to the ward. Hermana Kenia is the best!!!</span><br />

So then later in the week, we have been able to do a whole bunch of service with the clean up. It's pretty crazy, in some places, the mud came up to the second floor, completely covering the first floors of several houses. Luckily, no one has been seriously hurt, and no missionary either. This week, we have been helping this lady named Hermana Juana. She's a single mother with 5 kids all under the age of 16, and her house was filled with waist-high sewage mud. Elder Nuñez and I, and a couple other missionaries a few times have been able to take out all of the mud, and now we just need to fix her roof. It was really cool because she has been so grateful for the service and many others have seen us and have asked for more help. It made inviting them to church very easy and we've planned to pass by their house to pick up the whole family on Sunday. We also have been up to some of the more affected areas like in the high part of Trujillo to take out more mud and get dirtied up a little bit. We have some fotos of us and the Porvenir Zone and also us in Hermana Juana's house attached.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also had an interchange <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_955712324" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_955712325" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span>, and were with Elder Garrison and Elder Turner. It was such a great day! We have several people progressing and have been able to find several new people that have ''real intent'' to follow Christ and to make changes in their lives. We are finally getting back into the swing of things and are now ready to start leave everyday to teach and calming down with all of the organizing and administrating....thank goodness haha. Next week, we have multi-zone conferences, so we'll be seeing almost all of the missionaries (minus the Cajamarca zone) <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_955712326" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">within 3 days</span></span>, so that'll be super fun.</div>

Lot's of people are looking for peace right now, and He is the only way to find the real kind. I love you all so much! Get out and serve, be willing to get dirty a little haha, it's fun, enjoy it. I love you, have a great week!</div>

<b>Jonah gives some great examples of types of "service(s)". I love his example of serving others and when more is asked to happily work harder and serve even more people. We are glad he and the other missionaries are safe and watched over and that they are able to help some of the people that have been affected by the flooding and at the same time having success in bringing the message of the Gospel to families like Kenia's.</b></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This week has and will continue to be a week of services!! We have been going out in our service clothes for long periods of time and have been using a lot of our time to do clean up. If you have seen or heard of anything here in Peru, there have been a lot of crazy things going on, but it seems to be all calming down, at least in Trujillo. All missionaries are safe and accounted for here in the mission, and we have placed all missionaries in secure places where they will not be cut off from the rest of the mission. It's been kind of a mess coordinating all of that, but luckily the situation is getting a lot better, and we should be getting back to a state of normality.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So.....in this week, we have been really busy coordinating, but also doing service! We have been able to do a lot of cleaning, shoveling, repairing homes, handing out donations, and plenty of other cool things. Yesterday and the day before, we were helping in a pre-school that was completely flooded with mud, and so we had to take out all of the dried mud and put it into big piles. While we were doing that, a neighbor of the preschool asked her to help in her home. Her roof was completely blown off and her house was filled with at least a foot of mud up to three feet of mud in some places. We had all of the Elders from Casa Grande there so we were able to make a ton of progress on the house, and loaded a ton of the dried mud out into a pile. When people saw us working there, we had several more people ask for help from us, and so now we are keeping extremely busy with helping the neighborhood. It's so much fun serving and getting a little dirty every once in a while, you really feel like you're helping a little more personally.</div>

Also, just today, we started the General Conference services and they have been so great so far! We are just about to start watching the Priesthood session, and then we have a full day of conference <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2111873803" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>. If you're interested, you can watch it live <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2111873804" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.lds.org&source=gmail&ust=1491237475372000&usg=AFQjCNG9KoxwXCl0DhH_gl88hueYOmv-lg" href="http://www.lds.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.lds.org</a> and you just click the ''watch conference'' button. Elder Gary Sabin also Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave wonderful talks that will become available really soon...maybe already? I'm not sure haha, but it's on the same website.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The last service for this week will be <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2111873805" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>, and it's a baptismal service!! Hermana Kenia is going to be baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2111873806" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> right after the last session of conference, and it's going to be so great! I talked about her last week, and had mentioned that she was going to try to get her son to church. And <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2111873807" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> she came her son Ariel!! And not only her son, but also her nephew Sebastian!!! She has been inviting several people to come to her baptism and she is hoping that her sister and brother-and-law will come <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2111873808" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow </span></span>afternoon. She already loves sharing the gospel and only does it because it makes her happy and knows that it will make her loved ones happy too. That's why I'm out here on a mission! The things you love should be shared.</div>

<b>The flooding seems to be letting up in the Trujillo area. We had a few questions about what has been going on in the mission. The first part of his letter are answers to those questions. He is also finding opportunities to teach and has a great story about a family they met. We are so glad he is safe and continue to pray for the safety of all the people of Peru.</b></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hey so I don't have a lot of time, but I'm gonna try to respond to your questions and also send a part of the letter to President about an investigator. I love you! We were just in a baptism of the secretaries, but we have a baptism next Sunday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">, so I'll let you know about that!</span><br />

Yeah, so we were talking to the Elders in Casa Grande and we organized an escape plan for them jaja, they didn't need to leave because it was so dangerous, only because if it got any worse, they would be cut off from Trujillo, so no one was in any real danger. They are now staying in a building that a member owns that is renting it out to them for free. We were in charge of planning their ''escape'', finding lodging, finding pensionista, finding laundery, and constantly finding water for them. It was a huge puzzle and search game, but they are all situated fine now.</div>

One quick thing, the video of the drone going over Trujillo is a big joke and a huge lie. Some fool put that video on the web to freak everyone out. IT IS NOT THAT BAD!!!!!!! I mean there are a lot of people affected, but all of Trujillo is not flooded. They took a video of some other city (I don't even know which) and put Trujillo. We looked at the places on Google Maps and they don't even exist here in Trujillo, so don't freak out. Everything is calming down now, there's almost no more things going on, just a little bit of rain.</div>

About the Elder that was in the bus. He is completely fine, had very minor injuries, and is now proselyting, just yesterday we did service with him, moving somebody into a new house. He's a total hero and his story is going everywhere jaja, but he is completely fine.</div>

We have plenty to eat and drink, and we are very well taken care of. We are missionaries of the only true church, so I don't really doubt that we'll be fine. Keep praying for us, but don't worry. I know that's hard, but really. We're fine here.</div>

It's so great to hear from the family and I hope that everything is going okay with the demolition. I saw that picture of Dad cooking or something, in the basement, saw the hallway to my room, and thought ''I hope they don't go in there, it's probably a mess.'' And then I realized that there's not a mess in my room haha, it was a little panic attack hahahahha! So proud of Seth! I don't have time today, but I will write him next week on his birthday, because it's a Saturday.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In our area, we have been able to teach an hermana que se llama Hermana Kenia Salazar, and she is incredible! She came from Huanuco to live with her sister and has come to church 3 times now and has a baptismal date for this </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1209422824" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204 , 204 , 204); color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">next Sunday</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. She has really strong and good desires to follow Christ, and more than anything, she wants her 2 sons to be on the right track. Just yesterday, we were teaching her and talked about the importance of going to church, and we really focused on why it will be important for her sons, one of which has not come with her yet. Elder Nuñez mentioned that someday, her son could maybe even be a missionary like us, and she said ''I want that more than anything else in the world'' and started crying and told us that she has been having a lot of problems with her son and that she wants to gain his trust back and help him to return to God, but she has been so lost and never knew how to do it. We testified of the power that Christ has that is found within His church and she seemed to find comfort in our words and will do everything she can to get her son to church </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1209422825" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204 , 204 , 204); color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. We are praying and fasting for Kenia and her son today! The gospel isn't just for individuals, it's for families, and maybe I didn't realize it too much, but now that I am surrounded by so many families without it, it's so obvious how many blessings we have received as a family. I'm so grateful that my family is eternal and that we are able to enjoy the blessings plainly in my life. </span></div>

<b>I'm sure you may have heard about the flooding that has been ocurring in Peru and this last week it significantly affected Trujillo. Many areas in Peru, including Trujillo, are considered desert even though they are coastal. Many homes are made of mud and wood and many have no roof because there is so little rain. A few days ago there was a heavy downpour for 5 hours. Many homes (20,000) were flooded and many were destroyed. All of the missionaries are safe but some Peruvians have lost their homes, their possessions and many have lost their lives. Jonah and the other missionaries are busy providing service trying to help those in need. He details this in his letter below. Unfortunately they are expecting more rain this week. Please keep the Peruvian people and the missionaries in your prayers.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I'm not exactly sure what has been published or broadcasted on the news, it might not even be there, but if you've heard, there's a lot of flooding and rockslides that are happening here in Peu, especially in Piura, Chiclayo, Trujillo, Chimbote, and Lima. The good thing is that all of the missionaries are doing fine, there's no major problems, just a few rooms that were slightly flooded, but they are now staying in safer places. No missionary in Trujillo has been injured due to the flooding, so we are all fine. Sadly, that is not the same story for all of Trujillo, there have many people forced out of their homes and on mountain passes, rockslides have taken the lives of people traveling towards the mountains. Trujillo almost never gets rain, and usually does not absorb the water that travels from high up in the Andes, and now that it's receiving both at the same time, and due to all that, there is a lot of damage being done here. So since Wednesday, our week has mostly been full of service, and it's been really cool. I'll try to describe a little bit of what we've been doing.</span></div>

<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1479364883" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span> night, it rained really hard here. And up in the higher and more poor parts of Trujillo, the majority of the houses are made of mud bricks or wood sticks, and they have either tin metal roofs or just tarps. Some houses don't even have roofs, and almost all of them have dirt floors. In other words, it's not fit for a rain storm. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1479364884" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Wednesday</span></span> morning, we did an interchange with some Elders in one of the places in high up Trujillo and so Elder Parkinson and I re-built a guys roof. The metal had been torn down in few places and the tarp he had placed over the top got blown off, so we fixed everything up, put new beams in his house and made sure that he was ready for the next rainstorm. Later on, we came back down to our area closer to the center and while we were in the middle of a lesson, we start to hear a lot of ambulances and police cars passing by, and then we got some phone calls from some of the missionaries that said there were several rivers in the street. So we quickly ended the lesson (it was a great lesson by the way, haha, maybe I'll tell you about it later), and then we headed outside to see what was going on. We come out to see just about everyone out in the street, but there was no water where we were at, but everyone was laying down sandbags and bricks and just whatever out in front of their doorways, so we started helping a few people there close by, but then we heard that the main river was passing by a street called ''9 de Octubre'' and right there lives a family that we have been teaching. So we ran over there, helping a few older ladies to cross streets that had water slowly passing by, and then finally we got to the main road ''9 de Octubre'' and over there it was a lot more intense. The street and sidewalks were completely covered by about knee-high water, and several people were outside of their doors, trying to lay down sand bags and metal coverings in front of their entryways and garages. We spot the family further up the road, and the mom, Lourdes, is outside, looking around frantically, and so we make our way up the road to the house and we ask her what we can do to help. She seemed so relieved to see us, and said that her husband was buying sand and metal coverings for their house and was bringing it back in their pickup truck, but had been gone for a while and doesn't pick up his phone. We tried to calm her down and helped her back inside, and right after that, her husband rolls in with the materials, but the water was moving to quickly on the road to park it right by the house. So that's when he, Elder Nuñez, and I started chainlinking arms and moving all of the supplies from one side of the road to the other and placing it in front of their house to cover the holes. We finally get everything moved over after several trips, and get everything packed down to stop the water, so we all pile into the house and grab buckets to start bailing as fast we can. It had already gone through the whole garage and out back to a patio and was moving up a couple steps to get inside the house, but luckily they had blocked everything off so it wouldn't come inside. So we just bailed water for a long time, moved mud to the cracks so that it would slow the flow even more, and eventually saw the water level going down. Then we got up to the roof of their house because it started raining and part of their roof leaks, so we got that all covered up with more metal and tarps. The whole event took about 3 almost 4 hours to get everything settled down. But we did it haha.</div>

After all of that stuff had kind of happened, they invited us in to rest a bit and drink some hot chocolate, so we sat down with the whole family, and had a really special moment. The 3 daughters in the family are really open and receptive, and one of them has actually been attending church for the past 4 years, but the parents have always been closed off to the missionaries and the Church, and have not allowed for the daughters to be baptized. Anyway, for the first time ever, we talk to all of the family at the same time, and they were really grateful that we had come, and they said that they couldn't thank us enough, and we shared our testimonies about the Church and the Gospel and how it's blessed our own families. Even the parents were very receptive and asked us to come back again to teach a lesson. It was so cool! We didn't know how to react and so we scheduled another meeting with them, and will be teaching them more.</div>

Service is a such a wonderful opportunity to do two different things. Number one, help and love other people in action instead of just words, and number two, giving a chance to say why you do it and who's example you follow while doing it. That's what we've seen a lot of in this week. The river has come through the city now 3 times and so we've been able to help a lot of people, always keeping safe, and just staying happy! We're doing great out here! We love you so much, and will keep you updated!! Have a great week!! :)</div>
