Hola Familia!!

i finally had a good connection and i took advantage of it by sending you a few pictures they are all from sayan except the one where i am cooking that was our experiment with strawberry crapes. and it turned out good.

we had another stress filled week but . . . . i love it. i know that god uses experiences like these to make us stronger for the trials ahead so i guess we will just keep working and watch out for the stumbling blocks. in one of the pictures i am standing with a sign that says "remember that those in house are waiting for you, DONT RUSH" it was a special feeling to read that sign and know that it applied to more than just the cars that were on that busy road. i am trying to take in every moment as it comes but let me tell you my life has never been more filled than it is now. in the last 2 weeks i think that maybe 1 time i have made it to bed before midnight. and let me tell you it is taking its tole. keep my energy in your prayers because my batteries are wearing out. 

that made me remember when trever was little he would always say it needs batteries well trev let me tell you that your Elder Uncle needs new batteries. but that small fact has been a spiritual boost for me i now understand more want nefi said in the last verse of the first chapter of 1 nefi i really do experience tender mercies everyday. i am tired but i am not going to quit dont you worry. i know that the lord is strengthening me everyday more so that i can keep fulfilling my duties. 
 
thats is a awesome experience that you had dad. i too have found my self in the right place at the right time to meet people that chad knew and touched in arequipa be it companions or members they all have something nice to say about my brother. i can only imagine how special that was for you because i know it was special for her. i love my dad and i am grateful for the missionary he was. i think that helps me see the missionary i need to be.

well fam it is off the futbol and some delicious fruit. stay safe and know that i love you and that i am working as hard as i can.
