New Companion
Many of you probably saw the pictures and thought, "Whats his name?" or "Where is he from?" Let me answer those questions for you. My new companion is Elder Donayre. He is from Lima, Peru and has 11 months is the mission. He is a super great missionary and we get along super well. We work and more important teach well together. The best part is that we path make the misison work fun. There is no need for it to be boring or stressful or anything like that. If someone slams the door in your face. Laugh. That is what keeps us going.

Testimony Builder
When I got here to Galapagos there was not much program. We weren't teaching many people and baptisms had been low. For those have been missionaries you can share that feeling of dissapointment as you arrive to your new sector thinking that you will be baptizing a lot but to find that there was nothing left for you. With my companion this past weekend we basically opened this sector. Which is practically the story of my mission. But never a sector has had such a big importance as this one. This week I spent lots of time of my knees trying to figure out the right way to find new people to teach. Asking our Heavenly Father to guide us to the right houses and right people. That is exactly what he did. Wednesday as we were leaving lunch we walked up a street looking for a member house that we didnt know. He called into the house of something and two girls came out of the house. We asked them if they knew the member and they told us no. As we were about to say thanks and keep walking something told me,"Are you a missionary or what?...TALK TO HER." So that is what we did. Come to find out that the Lord had been preparing there hearts for a long time. Althoug the parents are married they support there kids. In fact the have a family member that was a missionary as well. It is amazing to see how the Lord works. That after so many years that have accepted the opportunity to listen to this amazing Gospel. Sunday they where in the church, bright and early, with a huge smile on there face. They loved the church and said next week they would defintely be back. The Lord is working miracles here and he deserves all the credit. We really havent done anything. Just be the instruments necessary. My testimony was strengthened this week as I learned to trust and depend completely on the Lord.
