Make Every Day Count...

I love working with the leaders of a District because they take what we as Missionaries say alot more seriously because they have to answer to President Perez and we represent President Perez here in Tarapoto. Yesterday Elder Vasquez and I put on a giant training for the Branch Presidencies, Branch Missionaries, and Branch Mission Leaders. It went so well and turned out to be alot of fun. We know that the only way the Tarapoto will be able to become a stake is only if the leaders and the missionaries are able to work together and efficiently. We watched a few little videos as well as did some practices. I reminded me of the MTC with all of the practices and the awkwardness that was present but it was great for these leaders to put into practice the doctrine. That is kind of what Elder Vasquez and I are focusing on ¨Putting the Doctrine into action¨. Alot more Work and alot less Talk is what´s going to help Tarapoto progress.

I´m excited for the coming weekend because we have a few baptisms lined up with some very great and special people. I´ll have to wait until the next letter to tell you more about them. I´m so glad to hear that you are all happy and well and just loving life. Take advantage of every moment because once its gone, its gone forever. Make everyday count and end it without regrets. I know that this is the work of the Lord and I am so grateful to wear his name on my chest for two years. I know that we are lead today by an inspired and chosen prophet who loves us and if we follow him, we cannot fail. Never loose sight of just how blessed and loved we are. I love you all so much!
