How many feet in a mile...


Well this week was Probably the Hardest weeks i have Ever worked in my mission... 

Wednesday- 
We decided to go to another area of our area that missionaries havnt worked in in a while... as we were talking to some of the people out there none of them had ever even seen missionaries before hahaha... we contacted one house and there was a family of 7 a mom and 5 kids and then her nephew was living with her... and all of them were sitting out side  and im not the one to to contact big groups i think it is super hard and sometimes fear gets the better of me... but i decided to contact them and as things normaly happen in big groups like that the Nephew  (16) says in a very mean tone What do You Want... as we share who we are they let us in and we share with them they began to be very intrested in our message and 5 of them accepted the Baptismal invitation... we went back on friday to go visit them and we saw that they read 13 chapters in the book of mormon... and they are very interested in the church so we will se what happens...

Thursday we went on a division with Elder C and J ZL and we did it just so elder j could meet some of our investigators but the houses that they went to nobody was home... I went to Aratiri which means lightning bolt... with Elder C From peru... im so used to having american comps that when we were walking down the street i started to talk to him in english and i started to notice that he was just glancing out the corner of his eye at me and then i look at him and ask whats wrong... His exact words were ¨I dont speak freaking english¨ hahaha i totaly spaced hahaha he got a laugh out of it... but i went there and wanted to learn how i could be a better missionary... and elder C and  worked our butts of... so i figured thats what i had to do was work hard and then i would see the fruits and so that what my comp and i did we worked our butts of... 
we started focusing on J (22) is going to be a cop and he is part of the G Family he told us that we would be going to church this sunday... and as we showed up to church the Hermana B told us that J was coming with his mom... so we waited outside the church for them and we see there SUV come pulling up but we dont see j and the hermana G Cant Drive so we were wondering who was driving... IT WAS The Dad J... J CAME TO CHURCH... The first time ever i was super pumped he told us after words that he loved it... and said we would come next week to... so we are thinking of a fecha not only for them to get married and maria baptized but also js Baptism...

I know with out a doubt that this church is true and i know that if we work our hardest the lord will bless us in many ways...

Love Elder Dayley

Just a Short Story that came out in the Mission News Letter last week... its how Elder N and I Found F out in San Pedro... 

En Noviembre del 2012, un nuevo misionero llamado Elder Dayley llegó al país. Se le envio a servir en San Pedro, lo cual se encuentra 
en la zona La Paloma. 
Él y su entrenador, Elder Nielson, se encontraban con pocos investigadores. Empezaron a esforzarse a trabajar con los miembros. A 
pesar de visitarlos, y pedir referencias, aún no recibían referencias como esperaban.
Por fin recibieron una referencia de una miembro. La dirección que ella les dio fue muy general y era aparente que iba a ser difícil 
encontrarla. Sin embargo, hicieron planes para encontrarla, y se pusieron a trabajar.
Después de pasar mucho tiempo buscando, no encontraron la referencia. Desanimados y con frustración, empezaron a regresar al 
lugar de donde habían venido. En el camino, vieron a un hombre que cortaba su césped. Decidieron contactarle, y con poco tiempo se 
veía interesado. Se comprometió a asistir la iglesia aquel domingo que venía, pero por el tema de su trabajo, le iba hacer difícil. Los 
misioneros no le esperaron mucho en la iglesia ese domingo, por lo tanto se sorprendieron cuando él llegó solo.
Le siguieron visitando con miembros, y rápidamente consiguió un testimonio del Libro de Mormón. Se encontraba con oposición 
familiar para unirse a la iglesia, y no sabía qué hacer. Elderes Nielson y Dayley le animaron a orar a Dios a saber que tenía que hacer. 
El 17 de Diciembre, fue bautizado en un río, y el día siguiente, se confirmó.
Esos misioneros nunca encontraron su referencia, pero eso no fue el propósito por el cual Dios se la dio. Él había preparado el 
corazón de uno de sus hijos, y precisaba la visita de dos misioneros dignos. Cuando empezaron a orar y a buscar, se alineó la voluntad 
de Dios con la de ellos, y se les concedió un milagro.
Mediante un trabajo duro, y un empeño real, podemos hacer que la profecía de DyC 84:88 cumpla personalmente para nosotros 
también. “Y quienes os reciban, allí estaré yo también, porque iré delante de vuestra faz. Estaré a vuestra diestra y a vuestra siniestra, 
y mi Espíritu estará en vuestro corazón, y mis ángeles alrededor de vosotros, para sosteneros.” Que seamos todos dignos de recibir la 
divina ayuda de Dios en esta obra para la salvación.

Here is a rough translation...
In November 2012, a new missionary called Elder Dayley arrived in the country. Are you sending to serve in San Pedro, which is
in the area of La Paloma.
Were he and his trainer, Elder Nielson, with few researchers. They began to strive to work with the members. TO
visit them, and ask for references, though still not received references as they had hoped.
They finally received a reference from a member. The address she gave them was very general and it was apparent that it would be difficult
find it. However, they made plans to find her, and went to work.
After spending much time looking, they did not find the reference. Discouraged and frustrated, began returning to the
place from which it had come. Along the way, they saw a man who cut his lawn. They decided to contact you, and with little time is
He looked interested. Pledged to attend the Church that Sunday coming, but by the subject of his work, he was going to make it difficult. The
missionaries not expected you much in the Church that Sunday, were therefore surprised when he arrived only.
They continued visiting him with members, and quickly got a testimony of the book of Mormon. He was with opposition
family to join the Church, and not you know what to do. Elderes Nielson and Dayley encouraged him to pray to God to know that had to be done.
On December 17, he was baptized in a river, and the next day, it was confirmed.
Those missionaries never found your reference, but that was not the purpose why God gave it to you. He had prepared the
heart of one of his sons, and needed the visit of two worthy missionaries. When they began to pray and seek, lined up the will
of God with them, and were granted a miracle.
Through hard work, and a real effort, we can do that d & c 84:88 prophecy fulfilled personally for us
also. "And those who receive you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face." I will be on your right hand and on your left,
and my spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine Angels round about you, to bear you." That we are all worthy of receiving the
God's divine help in this work for salvation.
