And the Verdict Is......

Mom

Well I totally can testify about the Book of Mormon. It really is a strength. I have noticed the difference in the day when I don't read and study the Book of Mormon EVEN WHEN I READ OTHER SCRIPTURES. People ask me a lot about the Book of Mormon and why it's so important and I just wish I could transfer my feelings into them but I can't. And of course the words don't ever match up to how I feel. That really is a huge indicator of someone who really is going to progress. Do they read the Book of Mormon? I think that's for all of us. Those who read, gain more knowledge and those who don't just stagnate and flounder. Keep reading the Book of Mormon everyday. Get the whole family to do it too, if they aren't doing it.

So y'all probably have been wondering all week about if I'm extending or not. The news is this.......................you're going to have to add to the chain. Yup I have decided to extend a transfer. That means I'll be home July 1st. Tell the girls sorry. Tell Shelby sorry that I'll be missing her graduation and her birthday but I know what I must do and so I'm doing it.

So we have a few baptisms coming up not 100 percent when but we got a few for February. I'll let you know next week exactly when they will be happening.

So Cusco is pretty awesome. I've gotten used to the weather and it's not  bad. I sleep better than I did in Puerto because it's the perfect sleeping temperature. I'm getting to know the area much better I'm pretty sure by next week I'll have it down. 

Well I love y'all so much keep being awesome!

Cusco

Mom,

Well sorry that I'm writing so late. We had a cool p-day where we went to a place called El Balcon del Diablo(the devils balcony) it was super cool. I'm putting up the pictures on Dropbox. Also from last week having to say good bye to everyone. So this week was pretty awesome. Cusco is an awesome place. It's so weird our sector is close-ish to the plaza so sometimes we see white people. It's so strange and then I remind myself oh yeah I'm white too. Anyways, my comp is pretty awesome too. We are working hard. Well the traveling didn't go so smoothly. I mean I made it here, but the bus driver decided to see how many people he could make throw up. No joke mom the whole bus was throwing up. It's ok though I didn't die so that's good. The ward here is pretty awesome too. We've got people to teach so I can't complain. 

Well, there you go again mom your just to in tune to the spirit. Last week I got an e-mail from the office asking if I wanted to extend or not. They say I have to respond today. All week I have been praying to know what the Lord wants from me. I haven't gotten a answer yet. I don't know what to do but when I figure it out I'll let y'all know.

I love y'all so much please keep pushing forward with faith.
