Week 94: Just Pics

Cool Peru hat I bought on p-day.

More pizza.

My poor kid isn't used to hiking up and down hills all day, he gets tired real quick.

Week 93: A Week in Pictures

This is a Jello birthday cake that the mission bought for me! 

It looked super cool! But it wasn't tasty at all, haha! 

But hey beggars can't be choosers, right?

More birthday cake

While cleaning the font for our baptism, we decided we 

needed an ice cream break and they were on sale! YEET!

Elder Powell baptized his phone, haha! 

(It fell in while cleaning the font.) #holyphone

Jimena's baptism!!! I was honestly super nervous that day because she has a deathly fear of water and she's been postponing her baptismal date for more than a month because of it. So, I was nervous that she wouldn't get in the water or that something would go wrong but she showed up, and even though the water was super cold and she was super scared, she cowboyed up and got in! It was honestly a miracle that everything went so smooth!

My ward! (You can see the huuuugeee cemetary at the end.)

My convert from 1.5 years ago came to our ward to visit me yesterday!! 

His name is Luis and he was an Escogido (chosen one). 

Man, I sure love that guy, he's super strong these days.

Week 92: The Lord's Hand

Hey everyone! 

Just a quick update! Things are going well and my kid and I are finally getting used to the new area and not getting lost. Haha! We've found a decent pool of investigators now too so we are happy! This week the highlights were...

We had a ward activity for Mother's Day that was on Friday! It was a big talent show and we had a few investigators that showed up and had a great time. 

Saturday I got to go to my old area to see my old investigators baptism! She's a champ because she has a crazy schedule at her university and work that basically leaves her with zero time, but she even dropped one of her classes to come to church on Sundays.

Yesterday, when everyone was out in the streets partying and drinking, we still had 2 investigators come to church so we feel really blessed about that. :) We were not expecting them to come but the Lord blessed us with a little surprise! I sure love miracles and tender mercies. I've seen that if I sit back and analyze my day, I can almost always see the Lord's hand working and helping us in at least something specific EVERY SINGLE DAY. :) 

I love being a missionary! Haha, have a great week y'all!

My investigator (from my old area) got baptized 

and I got to go support her! Great experience.

Week 91: Just Pics

No letter this week, but we did get more pictures. They are worth a thousand words, so I guess you could say Jarett is a prolific writer, haha! :)

Burning a shirt for Elder Ahuanaris year mark in the mish!

View from the top of our area! Looking over Lima.

A cool drawing that was on our wall when we got here.

A service we did this week in the hills! Built stairs so that
a less-active fam can get to their new house in the hills.

Our new area in Comas.
