Seeing 600 yrs. into the future

The first part of this post was edited and all the extra "a" removed to make it easier on those who use the translator widget, at the end, I put this unedited email for those who like to see why we needed to edit it..

ok first of all i want to apologize for the random "a"s that will randomly appear in this letter. the keyboard I'm using is kinda messed up and puts them there randomly. but it'll make It a little funner for everyone to read it probably.

and ya so this week was a good week. a we're starting the last of this cambio and nobody thinks that i'll be getting changed except for me. i don't wanna get changed just that surco is a very small area and it's hard to be in one spot so small for 6 months. but come what ll come. i'll be happy no matter what. it's one attribute I've really been trying to improve. my attitude. and not letting anybody or anyone else get in the way of my happy and preppy self. the way i look at it, they really have no power over me if i don't give It to them. so when may comp is being special or our investigators don't progress i stay happy and just try my best to help.

and on that note, the work is OK here. better anyways. we found some golden people this week. like amazingly golden. a we're excited to have found them. and we have some others that are getting the lessons. but still a bunch that aren't progressing.

this Sunday i was a little sick, and by a little sick i mean stomach flu and was not very good. and so we couldn't go to church. well elder chalfloque wouldn't let me. i wanted to because we had planned on picking up 5 investigators and so it would have been great but we decided to have an elder throwing up in front of the members wouldn't be the best idea in the world. and so we stayed. and by 11 it had passed and i was feeling a lot better. we went and at lunch and dinner normal and i was fine. so no worries. i probably ate something that upset my stomach.

o I got two more packages so thank u. one from the steiner family, a special thanks, and one from some one else who I've never heard of. i don't know if it was for me or not. it didn't have a name on it or anything. but i paid for it, the office said it was mine. so ok. somebody makes amazing snickerdoodles. i don't know if anyone sent that, let me know. it had those cookies, candies and cheese in a can, which my comp couldn't believe. but all good stuff. i think it might have been a dear elder thing. or those packages that u send out by the church, i forgot the name. abut anyways thanks for everything everyone. i got some letters too, so i was a very content elder. and they came in less than one months too, so i was excited to see that. kinda cool

and just to answer some questions. me and my comp are fine just at ends sometimes. I'm a lot more strict than he is. and if i could see 600 years in the future i would like to see me and all my family in the celestial kingdom, or even cooler and more like me. me as a god with my first planet called tatooine. where a boy named anakin begins his lifelong struggle against the dark side of the force. that would be cool. a but who knows.

thanks for everything and i'll talk to y'all later

thanks for everyathing and ill talk to yall later

I'll go where you want me to go...Bolivia or Peru Lima South

and the results of this cambios cambio is...................

Utia is leaving surco and elder taliercio is staying. another six weeks in surco for me at the least. it's really good bc I'll be here for Christmas and new years. and if i stay one more I'll be here my bday too. that would be the best but that's thinking too far ahead. we find out today at 2 where he goes and who my new comp is. I'm scared and excited at the same time.

but that's part of the mission I'm sad thought that elder utia is leaving. he's been a great comp and has taught me a lot. he left with 5 of the 8 baptisms in the ward so far this year. so the ward really loved him. we spent the last two days saying goodbye to investigator and members. and they're giving him a lot of gifts and whatever. so I'm sorta excited for when i get changed. all i need to do is get more baptisms than he did.

and on that note, its very likely that i will bc, we found one family. that is like golden. they contacted us, and almost all her family is member but in arequipa, another part of peru, outside the mission. so they are a family of 4. also eloy really wants to be baptised we're just waiting for the time to get to the end of dec. or a little later. we have a bunch of other people we're teaching. this new no contacting system is really help the work in surco. some number that don't count for us as missionaries that have really gone up is inactives returning to the ward. this cambio we had like 10 families return to the church. it's been good. we might not get all the baptisms but we building up the church. so i think its still good work. and they're giving us lots of references so its working in a sense. but people progress slowly here in surco. i love surco though. id be happy staying here all my mission. but the time will soon come for a change and I'll be happy wherever i go. it's the same thing, i wasn't happy with being in Peru Lima sur at first but now i love it. i almost don't even wanna go to Bolivia even if i get the chance. but what I've learned is that we go where God wants us. it's that simple. there is a plan and the steps are in front of us. all we gotta do is keep going ya know. and it helps to have a good attitude bout things. the mission is hard and missionaries have a lot more problems than i though they did, but with a good attitude the problems become easy to overcome. so keep a good attitude everyone and just keep going. the problems are for our good. I've learned that.

and ya on that good note time is almost up. thanks for all ur prayers support and help. as always i wanna let u all know its very appreciated and it helps a lot. . till next week
