Hello From Tarapoto Peru

Tarapoto Peru
Hey everyone. Sorry it’s been a while. The work is going great and we are having a lot of fun. There have been a few rule changes so now we wear work clothes on P-day. I wasn’t too excited at first but it helped us do a few more street contacts so I’m happy.


P-Day activity
We had a wedding and a double baptism this last week and we are planning more weddings and more baptisms for the end of July.
It’s hard to believe that I have been out for 10 months (11 months now). The time just flies by…and the harder we work the faster it all goes. My companion told me that we should just stay home so we could make our missions longer HAHAHA! It’s great to be doing the Lord’s work. I know that the work we do blesses lives and families.







The family that got married and baptized last week already has set a sealing date in Trujillo! One year from yesterday! 364 days and counting. They are so excited and I am glad that I was able to be a part of it.



I am doing well. The climate is nice. Right now its winter so it’s about 78 degrees.  It only gets really hot around noon-5 pm. Tarapoto is great! I’m really happy to be here.

President and Sister Gomez came for a surprise room check. They came at 7:20 in the morning when I was getting out of the shower. I hear a knock on the outside door so I start to get out of the shower. Well my companion freaks out because the house is a mess and walks into the bathroom! We don’t have a door or a shower curtain so there I am standing in all my glory and my companion is in the bathroom and President is standing outside in the hall of our one room apartment with the assistants. I ALMOST DIED. The first thing that my companion said to me was that President and Sister Gomez were there and that I needed to clean the bathroom. She then realized that I was STILL in the shower and said, “You should probably put some clothes on too”... WELL DUH! I am so not coming out of the bathroom to see President and Sister Gomez and 2 elders WITHOUT clothes.

Oh what a week. Here to hoping this week is a little less exciting.


Anyways, I’ll keep you updated!!  Lots of love!  Make sure to send my love to Erica and Kellan. It’s his birthday tomorrow (July 29).
