The Lord is Mindful of Each of Us...


We have a great deal of work to do here in Tarapoto but the entire zone is looking forward to the challenge. Tarapoto is actually a district with about 5 little branches. Before we got on the plane President Perez told us quite frankly what our mission will entail. ¨Tarapoto has to be a stake by the end of the year¨. So that is what we are going to do, we have to build and strength Tarapoto enough to meet the requirements of being a Stake. I´m more than excited for the challenge and the trust that the Lord and President Perez has put in us.
I´m quickly learning that there is never a dull moment here in the mish. This past week we have been faced with the reality of not knowing the area, the land lady has given us by the end of the day to pack our bags and find a new house, and the assuredly that the Lord is taking great care of his missionaries. Even in the midst of so much worry and stress, the Lord quickly reminds me that he is there and willing to carry his part of the load. This past week I have really leaned on him alot and he hasn´t let me down. I have found the peace and comfort that comes from trusting in him and putting His will before my own. He loves and is taking care of me, as well as each one of you.
