Hola Familia!!!

wow what a week. we had our first offical meeting in sayan. and what a spiritually powerful day. i dont think i have felt the spirit so strong since the start of my mission. my companion gave a talk and spoke on how every great thing in the church started out small and humble. it brought a beautiful spirit to our "small and Humble" room where we held the meeting and i couldnt help but thinking that it was the same in this case, that sayan eventhough humble now will be something great in the future. friday i spent the day looking for appartments in sayan i think it is going to be unavoidable now. i cant imagine a sayan without elder villalba but i guess that is how life as a missionary is. 

we had a interesting pday last week i saw things i never had imagined. if you look at the pictures i sent there is one that says "CARAL" it is spelt with plants and the interesting part about these plants i that they dont have roots. they just sit on the surface of the sand and some how live. it is a old Jaredite village that dates back to almos 5000 years before christ. it made me laugh as our tour guide said that they werent sure how they got here. . . . . Well my friend would you like to know? because you see i have this book that can tell you all you want to know about these people where they came from how they got here how they died. you just have to read and pray to know if it is true. but unfortunatly i didnt have the chance to talk to him.

the other fotos of the kids are two of he kids of Javier and Liliana and as you can see they are too small to be baptised they have a daughter who is 10 years old and is already baptised but javier looks forward to baptising his other kids. one thing is sure is that Sayan is a bomb waiting to burst.

as for other news they decided to combine our group in Centinela and Huaura into one i was worried about the members from Centinela. i wasnt sure how they would be able to attend but lo and behold they made the sacrifices to do it and i didnt miss a single one yesterday. that makes my load a little lighter.

well fam it is off to rest i love you and remember that i am working as hard as i can
