This week we got to go to the temple (for our mission when you are in a zone in lima you can go for one P day every other transfer as a zone) We went on thursday and it was such an amazing experience, of course it always is. I always learn something new when I visit the temple, as I am sure we all can. Living in Utah there are temples all over the place, the sacrifice we have to make is nothing compared to what some people have to do here. My invitation to you all is to not take this wonderful opportunity for granted, use the temple, frequently.
As I believe I have expressed in past letters this new area didnt have much going on when I first got here. However, I bring thee tidings of great joy, behold this day in the city of Lima, Elder Brown and Elder Arrieta have found two new families and now have an investigator with a baptismal date. The area is improving which is so great to see as missionaries, It is hard to not see any rewards for the work you put in, as I am sure you all know. We also have a couple of less actives who are making real strides to be active members in the church again. One of them is Limber, he is 18 years old and when we taught him the first time he really showed he wanted to come to church again. Over the last week we have visited him and his family a lot and we are now trying to involve him in the missionary work because we think that he can prepare for a mission. He is really interested in teaching the gospel, he has given us refereals and asked to go contacting with us.
Alright I know it was short, again, but know I love you and will write again next week.
Love your missionary,
Elder Brown
