<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The moment has arrived. I have seven days remaining in my beloved <b><i>Perù.</i></b> </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I was trying to think about what I would write, but I think I can sum up my </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">entire mission in four words:</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i>Gozo, Diligencia, Fe, y Amor</i></b>. (<b>Joy, Diligence, Faith, and Love</b>). </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"><b><u>Joy.</u> </b></span><span style="font-kerning: none;">Before I came here I thought I knew what <b>joy </b>meant.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I was completely wrong. I thought <b>joy </b>came from worldly things. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have come to fully realize that true <b>joy</b> comes from serving people you love. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have met some extremely poor families, but they were happy because they put the family and the gospel before anything else. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> I thought poverty meant you didn’t have a microwave or a huge television. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have come to realize that poverty is so much more than that. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">There are people in this world that have dirt floors and a tin roof, but they are happy because they are obedient to the principles of the gospel. Words can not even describe the <b>joy </b>I have felt as I have shared the gospel of <b>Jesus Christ</b> with my beloved brothers and sisters here in <b><i>Lima, Perù.</i></b> </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"><b><u>Diligence.</u> </b></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-kerning: none;">I have come to learn that nothing worth having in this life is ever free. The only way we can make ends meet is by hard work, and giving one hundred percent of our efforts in everything we do. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><b>Faith.</b></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"> </span><span style="font-kerning: none;">I thought I had a testimony before the mission, but I have come to realize that my testimony was just about as big as a grain of sand compared to the testimony that I have obtained as a servant of the <b>Lord </b>for two years. The thing that has made my faith grow so much here in the mission is seeing the faith of others. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> I heard a story of a missionary here that had a recent convert who only had ONE HEN, and she sold it so that she could pay for transportation to make it to the temple.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> I know a little elderly lady from southern <b><i>Perù </i></b> that used to be a temple worker. She lives in a small house up in the hills, and can’t walk very well due to her age. She had to take a <b><i>moto,</i></b> and two or three different buses just to make it to the temple and back. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> I have seen true miracles. I have seen the power of fasting. I have seen the power of tithing. I know people who barely have enough to eat, but they pay their tithing because they know that is what the<b> Lord </b>has commanded. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>During my time here I have truly come to know my <b>Savior</b> and redeemer <b>Jesus Christ.</b> I love our <b>Savior</b>. I know that without him and his great atoning sacrifice, we are nothing. Everything we have, everything we do, and everything we may become is all thanks to our <b>Lord, Jesus Christ. </b>There are millions of people in this world that </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">don´t know or realize that, but I have been blessed with the sacred opportunity to make that known to at least a handful of people. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><b>Love.</b></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-kerning: none;">I think the best word to describe my two years as a missionary here in the<b><i> Perù Lima North Mission</i></b> is <b>Love</b>. I have come to know the meaning of love and charity. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I love the <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>people with all my heart.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">But <b>I don’t know which is greater..the love I have for THEM, or the love they have shown to ME.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Love</b> is the thing that causes a <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>to take care of a sick American missionary that doesn’t even speak Spanish, but has been throwing up all day.<b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Love </b>is the thing that causes a <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>family to offer that same missionary a piece of bread with bitter olives (a dinner that doesn’t seem like much, but one must realize that this same family was basically dying of hunger because of their extreme poverty). </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Word´s cannot describe the<b> love</b> I feel for my Brothers and Sisters here in <i style="font-weight: bold;">Perù. </i>Because of the <b>love</b> I have for them, I have given them the best, most priceless gift I have to offer. A gift that was given to me, the day I was born, a gift that was given to my great grandmother over eighty years ago when she knocked on a Mormon neighbor`s door to ask for a cup of sugar.....<b>The restored gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ. </b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><b> </b></span>The only thing I can say is that during my time here, I have seen <b>miracles.</b> I have seen countless people change their lives. I know that no challenge is too difficult to overcome when we have the power of <b>Jesus Christ</b> on our side. I know that this is just the beginning. In the years that come, I just know that I will see my converts leave on missions, be sealed in the temple with their families for all time and eternity, teach the gospel to their children, and prepare to be <b>eternal families</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I am eternally grateful that the <b>Lord </b>sent me here to <b><i>Perú,</i></b> and gave me this once in a lifetime opportunity to share the gospel with my beloved <b><i>Peruvians.</i></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I finish with the words of the Apostle Paul as he said goodbye to his recent converts…..<b> “neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”</b></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">P.S. I already sent my final email, but here is another one just to explain about my week.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We had the fantastic opportunity to go to the temple one last time.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">It was such a spiritual day. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go one last time here.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The spirit there was so strong. Other than that, we had a good week of teaching, and also we had a fun <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>Independence Day Ward Mission Activity. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Because <b><i>Peruvian</i></b> Independence Day is coming up, everyone has their <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>flags out.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Love you all so much,</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">And I will see you in a week!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> It has been a good week here in the mission. On Monday, we took a trip to <b><i>Center of Lima,</i></b> which was pretty fun. We went to a giant store called <b><i>Polvos Azules,</i></b> and then we went on a double decker sight seeing bus to go up the <b><i>Cerro San Cristobal</i></b>, which has a pretty neat history. It is the hill that the Spanish conquistador, <b><i>Fransisco Pizarro</i></b> hiked to put up a big cross when the Spanish were battling it out with the <b><i>Incas.</i></b> We were on the upper level of the bus in the open air, and we got some really cool pictures.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> It has been a good week teaching as well. We are working with Yoice still, and we are hoping that everything will turn out well so that he can be <b>baptized </b>on the 30th. We had a good week teaching less actives and recent converts as well. We are working with a certain less active, and I promised him that if he would read his <b>Book of Mormon </b>for 15 minutes each day, then he would be able to overcome problems and difficulties he has been facing. He has been fulfilling his end of the commitment, and has seen great blessings in his life as a result. We are exciting to keep working with him so that he can come back to church. We are currently in the process of looking for new investigators. We were able to find a couple of potentials this week. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> Today we woke up early to hike up the hill again! It was super cool because we hiked up while it was still dark outside, and we hiked through the fog, passed through the level of fog to the top, and the fog was blocking all the light from the city down below so you could see a ton of stars! It was incredible, and you could see the sun coming over the horizon, and it was the first time I have ever seen the Milky Way in <b><i>Perú</i></b>! It was a neat hike.</span></div>

We tried contacting her, but you could tell she didn’t understand Spanish very well. From the way she talked I noticed she had a <b><i>Quechua</i></b> accent, so I started talking to her in <b><i>Quechua</i></b>, and she seemed so relieved, and just went off talking in <b><i>Quechua!</i></b> Haha there are these other three ladies from the provinces and they were just sitting on a wall chatting, and I was talking to them all in <b><i>Quechua</i></b>, and they were laughing up a storm that a <b><i>Gringo</i></b> from the <b>United States</b> would learn their native language! </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I hope you all had a fantastic week. We had a good week. For P. Day, on Thursday, we had the opportunity to meet President Godfrey and his family. He will only be my Mission President for a month, but I am very excited to learn a lot of things from him in the short time we will have together. He is here with his wife and three kids, and it is nice to have them. President Godfrey is very intelligent, and is going to do a great job. I am grateful to the Godfrey family for the sacrifice they have made to preside over us missionaries for three years.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> This week we brought one of our recent converts to the Family History Center to do his Family History, and I took advantage of the opportunity to log into my own account for a few minutes. I found a document written by Grandpa Reschke that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is a story called “Pioneer Road”, and talks about the immigration stories of him and Grandma. I especially liked the part about the two young Mormon´s on the mountain top in Italy, praying that God would direct them the promised land. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Afterwards, we walked out of the chapel, and as I walked down the streets of <b><i>Lima, Peru</i></b>, with my companion by my side, I noticed the dusty streets, the bicycle carts selling fresh tropical fruits, the sound of <b><i>Motos</i></b> rushing in every direction, and the children running free down the streets, and I was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude towards my grandparents. Thanks to the fact that they had the courage to take the road less traveled, I have the marvelous opportunity to share the gospel for two years with my beloved brothers and sisters of <b><i>Perú.</i></b> Just as my grandfather knelt in prayer on the mountain top in Genoa, Italy nearly sixty four years ago, his grandson has the opportunity to kneel in prayer with his beloved <b><i>Peruvians</i></b>, in a dirt floored house with a tin roof, praying that <b>Heavenly Father</b> will direct his children to the path that they need to follow. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This has been a fantastic week here in <b><i>Lima, Perú.</i></b> On Monday, we had to say goodbye to my companion, Elder Onofre.

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Afterwards, I had the privilege of <b>baptizing</b> a family of investigators that the Sister Missionaries have been teaching. It was the funniest <b>baptism </b>of my life, because during the <b>baptism,</b> the young single adults were having an international dance festival outside, and the music was really loud. It just so happened that when I was baptizing the sister, the American dance was going on, and Cotton Eyed Joe was playing outside, REALLY LOUD! Hahahaha then when I got out of the font to go change, somebody had taken my backpack with my dry clothes and towel, and taken it outside with them. So there were no dry clothes!! Luckily they reported it to the DJ and we found my backpack so I could change! Other than the fact that they were blasting Cotton Eyed Joe during the <b>baptism</b>, it was a very <b>spiritual night,</b> and we were able to see four people make a covenant with our <b>Heavenly Father.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Last Monday, I received a visit from the <b><i>Familia </i></b>V., from <b><i>Canto Grande</i></b>. They came all the way from <b><i>San Juan De Lurigancho </i></b>to my area to see me. If that isn’t affection, I don´t know what is. I was so happy to share a few moments with them, and to be able to see the four of them once again. We had a little dinner, and they brought me some gifts from <b><i>Tarapoto, </i></b>in the Jungle. They are one of the coolest families I have met here, and it was a privilege to be able to see them again.</span></div>

This has been a good, but fairly normal week for us here in the mission. The big news of the week, is that changes are today and they announced that my companion has a change. My new companion is going to be a fairly new missionary from Bolivia. I have talked to him once. He seems like a nice guy.

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Maria is doing well. She is preparing to be <b>baptized </b>this Saturday, so she is excited for her<b> baptism.</b> We are also working with Doris, a very kind 63 year old lady we met while knocking on doors. She already knew about the Mormons because her sister is a member. She is very receptive, and has already come to church two times. She is preparing to be <b>baptized </b>on the 2nd of July, so we are excited for that. She really likes to be in the church and make new friends, and she likes to mark up her <b>Book of Mormon </b>and take lots of notes during the lessons.

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This was a week in <b><i>Perú</i></b>, that I will NEVER forget. It all started on Friday morning when the alarm went off at three-thirty in the morning. I got up, showered with my <b><i>Inca Kola </i></b>bottle in the chilly<b><i> Peruvian </i></b>winter, and we hit the streets at 4, to begin the journey to the Stake Center at <b><i>Los Olivos</i></b> (Which is the city where the new temple will be built.) </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We got there and studied our scriptures for a while, and then we all stood up, and in walked in <b>Elder Ronald A. Rasband</b> of the <b>Quorum of the 12 Apostles</b>, and he said, breaking the dead silence, <b><i>"Buenos Dias!"</i></b>. As the pianist played the prelude music, we all shuffled into a line-up to the pulpit to go shake his hand, and that of his wife, and Elder Montoya of the Seventy and his wife. (Which by the way is the SAME General Authority that called me to the pulpit in <b><i>Canto Grande</i></b>).</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> I can’t even explain the <b>Spirit </b>I felt as I shook the hand of an <b>Apostle of the Lord,</b> and as he looked me straight in the eye, and said, "Hello.". We then had the privilege to be instructed by him, and by the rest of the visitors for about three hours.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> He told us so many fantastic things. He said that when we shook his hand, he wasn’t looking at our name tags. He was looking at our eyes to see if they were sparkling. He then told us what he said was exactly what the Prophet,<b> President Monson </b>would say to us if he were here: <b>“We thank you, and we love you.”</b> He gave a solid talk, and the <b>Spirit</b> was so strong. In the End, he prayed a blessing upon each and every one of us, and said this: <b>that among the 600 missionaries there, if there were any afflicted, that he gave us that blessing as if his very hands were placed upon our heads. </b>The powerful <b>Spirit</b> that filled the room was undescribable. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He also told us that <b><i>Lima Perú</i></b>, is <b>EXACTLY</b> where the <b>Lord </b>wanted us to serve our missions.

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It is one day of my life I will never forget, because after shaking the hand of an apostle, and looking him in the eye, it is IMPOSSIBLE to deny the truthfulness and the divinity of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I know without a doubt that he is a personal witness of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that he is one of the 15 people on this entire earth that holds ALL the priesthood keys of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a privilege and a blessing it is to serve the Lord and be one of his personal servants, to bring the restored Gospel to the remnant of the Lamanites.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">P.S. When the 600 hundred missionaries stood up and were singing <b>“Called to Serve”</b> in Spanish, I was 100 percent proud to be a missionary serving the <b>Lord</b> in the <b><i>Misiòn Perù Lima Norte.</i></b></span></div>

<b>Questions Elder Reschke answered this week</b>.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><b><u>You have exactly 7 weeks left of your mission in Peru. How do you feel about this?</u></b><br />
I feel kind of how I did when State Track was coming up. Nervous, but excited. I am not going to judge my success as a missionary based off how many people I baptize during my last transfer. I am going to base it off how hard I worked. That is all the Lord really cares about in the end.<br />
<br />
It is kind of a mix of emotions. Bittersweet. Sweet because I have accomplished so many things here on my mission, but bitter because I feel like <b><i>Perú</i></b> is just a part of me now, and I don't want to leave. I was just thinking how much I love each and every one of my converts. I think it is very similar to the love that our Savior feels for each and every one of us. Anyway, we are going to keep working in our area to be able to finish strong!<br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> It was a good week for us here in good ol` <b><i>Perù. </i></b>For P. Day, I suggested to the Zone that we return to that tasty restaurant that I brought the Zone to as a Zone leader, <b><i>El Arrecife.</i></b> They all agreed, and we had some tasty food. I ate <b><i>Ceviche de Cecina con paticones.</i></b> (Just so you know, missionaries normally aren’t allowed to eat <b><i>ceviche </i></b>but this is an exception to the rule because it doesn’t contain raw fish.) It was super tasty. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> We had a good monthly goal meeting on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I went with one of the Zone leaders to teach a new Investigator, but it turns out he is like a super devoted member of some other church and just wanted to contend. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We contacted a lady from some other church and she was trying to tell us that after Jesus came to the earth, nobody has seen <b>God</b>. We turned to <b>Acts 7 </b>when Stephen saw <b>God</b>. She was just like..."Well, I’ll have to ask my pastor about that one." I hope she does, and I hope that the glorious light of the<b> Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ </b>will be able to illuminate her mind the next time missionaries come knocking on her door. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Thursday we had a really enlightening Zone training. Saturday was a super productive day for us, and we were able to find 3 new Investigators! We are excited for that. We are currently working with Maria, the Mom of Lee who was <b>baptized</b> last week. She is a solid Investigator, and is excited for her <b>baptismal </b>date for the 18th of June. Yesterday we didn’t have church because of the<b><i> Peruvian </i></b>Presidential Elections. To make up for the loss of church, we had an activity in the night time and we watched </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">“Meet the Mormons” </span><span style="font-kerning: none;">with all the investigators. Maria came, and she brought her husband. We also had our investigator Kayda and her son Diego come, and they liked the movie a lot. All in all, life is well, and we are excited for all the new people we have found lately.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Twas a fantastic week for us here in good ol´ <b><i>Lima.</i></b> P. Day was pretty chill. We had Popeye´s for lunch. Who knew there was a Popeye´s in <b><i>Lima</i></b>? Then we played dodgeball, basketball, and soccer as a Zone. It was a good time. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> Tuesday we had a good Zone meeting, and I gave a good District training. ON Wednesday we had a pretty fun service project, moving giant boulders so that they could construct the foundation of a house, but I smashed my little pinky finger between two boulders. Ouch. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> On Thursday we had a Zone Conference, and it is going to be president Erickson´s LAST Zone Conference. We learned about the function of the <b>revelation </b>that the Investigators need to receive.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> We had a very good week teaching Maria, Lee´s mom. She is so happy for the changes that are happening in her son´s life, that she also accepted to be <b>baptized.</b> We put a <b>baptismal</b> date for the eleventh of June. She is very excited. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> Saturday was a hectic day because we had two <b>baptisms,</b> one <b>baptismal </b>service right after the other. First Lee was <b>baptized.</b> He is super excited, and his parents who aren´t members came to his <b>baptism,</b> and I know they felt the <b>Spirit</b>. Later we had Walter´s <b>baptismal </b>service and that went really well also. He has progressed a ton in all the time I have known him, and I am really happy for the <b>conversion to the Gospel</b> he has seen in his life. All in all, it was a fantastic week .</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> We are working a ton with the members, who have been a huge help. Everyone is super pumped about <b>missionary work,</b> and they are presenting us to a lot of references, of which many have potential to progress. More to come on that later on. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">P.S.S.S. I was trying to talk to an elderly lady in the chapel, but she didn’t understand very well what I was saying.

Dear Family and Friends,<br />
<br />
I write you all the way from my new area, <i><b>José Galvez, </b></i>in the <i><b>Independencia Zone.</b></i><br />
I am no longer in <i><b>San Juan de Lurigancho.</b></i> I thank the <b>Lord</b> for the wonderful experiences that I had in the <i><b>Canto Grande Ward</b></i>. I know that I was there for a reason, and although the people in the streets weren’t the most receptive, I truly saw miracles due to our diligence and obedience.<br />
<br />
My last night there, we had a "Say goodbye to Elder Reschke<b> Family Home Evening</b>", and we enjoyed some last moments with the Familia B., Familia V., and Hermana Mirtha. They all wrote me some VERY kind notes to put in my souvenir book, and Renzo even gave me a signed copy of his book. I will always have a special place in my heart for the people of <i><b>Canto Grande,</b></i> especially all the people present at that<b> Family Home Evening</b>. <br />
<br />
With the <i><b>Familia</b></i> V. we have plans for when I come back to <i><b>Perú </b></i>next year they are going to take me to <i><b>Tarapoto</b></i>, their home town in the Jungle of <i><b>Perú,</b></i> and we are going to see the sights.<br />
<br />
The mission consists of different time periods. My time as a Zone Leader has come to an end, and I have been sent to my new area in <i><b>Independencia </b></i>because that is where the <b>Lord </b>wants me to finish my mission. I got here Tuesday morning, and realized exactly why:<br />
<br />
<b>It is one of the biggest areas in the whole mission, the ward is FABULOUS, filled with great members, and the area is just FILLED with thousands of awesome people that are waiting to hear the gospel. </b><br />
<br />
The people are very receptive as well. Basically, it is a diamond in the rough, just waiting to have it's fruits harvested. My Companion is Elder Onofre, from <i><b>Huancayo. Perú,</b></i> and I am only his second companion in the mission field. We had a good first week, and we have one <b>Baptismal Date,</b> and tomorrow we are going to have one more. It has been a really great week. I am District Leader right now, over the Relief Society District. We call it that because there are four Sister Missionaries.<br />
Haha, should be a good experience.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this week has been fantastic, and I have really been able to feel the love that <b>Heavenly Father</b> has for me and for each one of his children. <br />
I hope you all have a fantastic week. Love you so much.<br />
Love, <br />
Elder Reschke.<br />
<br />
P.S. We looking for a new room, because there is no water in our room.<br />
I have been showering with a two liter <i><b>Inca Kola </b></i>bottle for a week! <br />
<br />
<b>Questions Elder Reschke answered this week.</b><br />
<br />
<u><b>What is the weather like now?</b></u><br />
It’s getting cold here! Winter has arrived! BRRRRRRRRR.<br />
(Getting down to 62 degrees at night.)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Any last thoughts today?</b></u><br />
Mom, I am going to miss these people so much. <br />
I love them with all my heart, I really do.<br />
The <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>people have a special place in my heart. <br />
We for sure have to come back to visit them!!!!!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Well this week was a good week for us. On Monday we went hiking with the Zone again,</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">and we hiked up through the hills by our area to see the other side of the mission and the ocean. We stumbled upon an archeological monument called <b><i>Monte Miraflores</i></b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Seemed kind of interesting.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> We had the Zone Leader´s council meeting on Wednesday, which went well.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> We were able to learn a lot that we later shared with the Zone to help them out. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Friday night I was on a work visit with Elder Connolly in his area in <b><i>Canto Nuevo</i></b>,</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">we took out a baptismal date with his Investigator, </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">and had a good time playing Ward soccer in the morning. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Saturday was the<b> baptism</b> of Cristian and Xiara. They were super excited to be <b>baptized,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> and honestly it was probably my best <b>baptismal</b> service in the whole mission. </span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">It was extremely<b> spiritual</b>, and the <b><i>Familia V.</i></b>, kindly had us over for lunch after the <b>baptism</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">and it was very spiritual for us.</span><br />
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Everyone felt the <b>Spirit,</b> and the rest of the family is ready to follow <b>Jesus Christ </b>and make covenants with the <b>Lord </b>as well. </span></div>

<b><i>Hola Familia y Amigos.</i></b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> It was a pretty chill week for us here in <b><i>Canto Grande. </i></b>All is well. For P. Day we went to <b><i>Plaza Norte</i></b>, and ate at <b>Chili’s </b>as a Zone, and then explored around the <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>artisan souvenirs for a bit.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> We had a good week actually. Tuesday we had our monthly Zone meeting. April didn’t turn out quite how we thought it would, so as a Zone we decided to put the highest goal that this Zone has had in months. 21 <b>baptisms.</b> That is the goal, and I know this Zone has the sufficient faith and diligence to reach it. It was definitely a goal meeting I will never forget. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I was able to do a few work visits this week up in the hills to go meet the Investigators of the other companionships in the Zone, so that was a fun experience. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So from what I’ve heard, the mountains that we always hike around in to go proselyte are actually an extension of the <b><i>Andes.</i></b> So, technically you could say that <b>“we always go hike in the <i>Andes</i> to preach the gospel.” </b>Haha I still have to confirm that one, because it might be totally false:) </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>On Thursday night we had a surprise visit from the Assistants to talk a little bit about how the Zone is doing. Elder Bradford and I planned a training meeting for the District Leaders and we made breakfast for them, so I think that got them fairly pumped.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> The <b><i>Familia V. </i></b>(The family of Christian who is getting <b>baptized</b>) is really coming along. They are definitely one of the best families I have met in the whole mission. Christian and Renzo are both excited for their <b>baptism</b> this week. Looks like I will have the privilege of <b>baptizing </b>Renzo. We had a two hour lesson about tithing, and he FINALLY accepted the principle. This should be a good week for us. I will let you all know how it goes!</div>

I know this Gospel is true.

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Twas a good week for us here in <b><i>Canto Grande.</i></b> On Wednesday we had our trip to the historic city center of <b><i>Lima</i></b>. It went smooth: Everyone had a good time, and we didn’t lose anybody, so I would consider that a success. We went to the<b><i> Museo Nacional de la Reserva</i></b>, which is a really cool museum with a bunch of <b><i>Incan</i></b> and other native artifacts. I learned that back in the day when they didn’t have blood, they used <b><i>chicha </i></b>(<b><i>chicha </i></b>is a fermented beverage usually derived from maize) as the sacrificial liquid, and I also learned that <b><i>TUMI</i></b> (that little <b><i>Incan</i></b> guy that is all over the place in <b><i>Perú</i></b>) was actually the knife that the <b><i>Incans </i></b>used to make their sacrifices. Interesting huh? </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>After going through the museum, the museum curator took my Companion and I aside and gave us a bunch of cool free stuff to hand out to the Zone, and so the Zone was all excited and thought we had arranged that or something. We took some pictures in the <b><i>Plaza de Armas,</i></b> and then did some souvenir shopping.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> On Tuesday I gave a Zone training about all the false traditions that the missionaries sometimes employ as they teach the restoration. We had a work visit from one of the Assistant’s, which was a good experience. We had a good day working in our area, and we were able to talk about the Zone a lot. The Assistant told us that our area is a good example for the rest of the Zone, so I was happy to hear that. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>On Saturday we had kind of a discouraging experience. The <b>baptism </b>that we had all planned fell through because of some opposition from their family members. Instead of sitting there and feeling sorry for ourselves, we went home, packed up our backpacks with<b> Books of Mormon</b>, and hit the streets to go share the <b>Restored Gospel</b> with as many people as we could.<b> We told ourselves we couldn’t come home until we had given out every book.</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<b> </b>We gave one to a guy and he was like…"Not gonna lie, I really don’t have time to read.” We gave him the book anyway and promised him he could find time. We did a loop around the park, and came around the other side, and we saw him on a park bench.<b> He had the book opened to the introduction.</b> Caught in the act!!!! So after meeting a bunch of really cool people that night we felt better about ourselves.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We are continuing to work with our two Investigators that have a <b>baptismal date</b>. Cristian and Renzo are both really excited.

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This was a solid week for us here in <b><i>Canto Grande.</i></b> On Monday, for P. Day, I planned the <span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Amazing Race</span>. It was a lot of fun, and one of the items was “take a Selfie with the Llama in the Llama Park.” I probably should have remembered that one of the <b>Zone</b> members is on crutches because he broke his leg a few weeks ago. Oops. That one completely passed over my head. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We had a good week working here in the area. As of right now, we have three <b>baptismal </b>dates. Milly, Christian, and Renzo. We are very happy for Renzo, because he is a long time investigator. He has been through SOOOOOOOOOO many different missionaries. The thing is he is a professor, author, and studies philosophy, so he looks at everything in a very analytical sense. We finally just asked him,<b><i> "DO you believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only church upon the face of the earth which has the authority to baptize you so you can receive your salvation?” </i></b> He answered, <b><i>"Yes."</i></b> <b><i>"Then will you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized on May 7th?"</i></b> (Long Pause). Then he said, through tears, <b><i>"Yes. The time has come, and I need to be baptized."</i></b> I couldn’t believe my ears. SOOO many Elders have passed through here and he has always said “not yet not yet.” He finally accepted this glorious message of the restored gospel, and it was all <b>thanks to </b><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><b>The Book of Mormon</b></span><b>.</b> Im telling you all; <span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><b> The Book of Mormon</b></span> does miracles. If you haven’t read it, READ IT!. You just never know the way in which it might change your life.</div>

SO on Friday, we had room inspections, so Elder Bradford and I took Sister Erickson around to all the rooms of the <b>Zone</b> to make sure they all had refrigerators, furniture, etc. She gave us a tasty breakfast:) </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It was also my LAST interview with President Erickson. He did things a little differently. He only talked about the <b>Zone</b> for a brief minute, and then took a pause and said, "Well, Elder Reschke, this is our LAST interview together, so I think it would be appropriate to take some time to reflect.He told me about everything he has seen in me for the last 21 months, and talked a little about what I am going to do after the mission. It was super weird to have my last interview with President Erickson, but it was a solid interview, and I learned a lot.</div>

Friday, Elder Bradford and I had to go buy furniture for some missionaries. Let me just say, I am the master of <b>negotiating. </b>hehehe. We got stuck in a <b><i>Peruvian</i></b> marketplace, and let me just tell you a <b><i>Peruvian </i></b>market on a Saturday morning is like COSTCO on a Saturday morning times 50. It is the most hectic place you have ever seen in you life, with people running all over yelling, selling things, and dead animals hanging up all over the place, a variety of different smells, it is something that you have to experience to really understand.</div>

Yesterday was a solid Sunday, and we were able to have a good meeting with the Stake Presidency to talk about the <b>Zone</b>, and we also had a very good meeting with Renzo to help get him ready for his <b>baptism.</b> So, all is well in the land of the <b>Lamanites.</b></div>

Oh, so funny story that I don’t think I ever told you guys. This lady in my Ward in <b><i>Carabayllo</i></b> came up to me and said, "Your Dad is a dentist!" and I was like, “Yeah how did you know?” She said she has a sister who lives in Utah and this sister, she went to the dentist and it just happened to be Dad, and that the dentist (Dad) told her that he had a son on the mission in <b><i>Lima, Peru</i></b>, and she told Dad that she had a sister that lived in <b><i>Lima </i></b>and said she would ask her if she knew me.

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Hope you all had a fantastic week! It was a pretty good week for us. For P. Day, we played ping pong and watched <b>Mulan</b>. It was a pretty chill day.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> On Wednesday we had our Zone Leaders council meeting, which went pretty well. Luckily the Senior Couple missionaries that live in our area took us in a taxi:) It was good to share some ideas with the Mission President, Assistants, and other Zone Leaders.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> The next day, I had to go BACK to <b><i>Independence</i></b> with my Companion to register some families for the massive wedding that the mission is doing. Long bus ride, but we are happy we were able to get 2 families registered!</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> We did a couple of good work visits this week to be able to help the other Elders in their area. We took out a <b>baptismal</b> date with a Sister that lives in a very humble home high up in the hills, we just need to verify it. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In our own area we are working with three Investigators that have a lot of potential: Milly, Isabel, and Christian. Christian has accepted a <b>baptismal </b>date for May 7th, so we are excited for that. It was just a solid week of<b> good spiritual experiences</b> as we taught our Investigators. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Saturday, Elder Bradford and I planned an activity for all the missionaries in the whole Zone so they could bring their Investigators. We watched <span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><b>Meet The Mormons</b></span>, and a lot of people came, so I would call that a success. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Yesterday a lot of people were not in their houses because of the <b><i>Peruvian</i></b> Presidential Elections. But in the night time we had a good <b><i>Noche de Hogar</i></b> (Family Home Evening) with a young couple in the Ward and their family members who aren’t members. We watched the movie <span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><b>Together Forever</b></span>, and it was a good experience. I am so happy for the wonderful opportunity I have to share a message with other families that they can be <b>eternal families</b>! What a joyful moment when the families discover that.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Hope you all had a good Conference weekend. I know we all had a very memorable one. Especially when <b>President Monson </b>announced the<b> new temple in <i>Lima, Perú. </i> </b>The second he announced it, there was just a surge of the <b>Spirit </b>in the chapel. It felt like an electric shock. Everybody surprisingly gasped, and everybody was just astounded. It was such a glorious moment, and the smile on each one of the <b><i>Perúvian </i></b>faces was just incredible. Definitely a moment in the mission I am never going to forget. They haven’t announced where it will be constructed yet, but after examining the options, it is very probable that they will put it smack in the middle of the North Mission's boundaries. Of course, we missionaries feel really happy, because we feel like <b>Heavenly Father </b>has recognized our diligence and our labors, and building a <b>temple </b>here in <i><b>Lima</b> </i>is <b>Heavenly Father’s</b> way of acknowledging our efforts.<br />
<br />
I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, especially Elder Holland`s talk about "looking forward to tomorrow." I also enjoyed Elder Christofferson`s talk about the responsibilities of a father in the home. It reminded me of <b>how blessed </b>I am to have a fantastic father.</div>

Other than that, it has been a good week with my new companion Elder Bradford from Cedar Hills Utah. AKA American Fork. We have just about the same time in the mission,(he goes home a month before me), and we are both going to BYU, so we have a lot in common. We are really good friends, and we are excited to work together as Zone Leaders of <b><i>Canto Grande.</i></b> We have a lot of potential as a Zone! </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We received a golden reference this week named Milly, who is super excited about our message, came to two sessions of conference, and has already accepted the invitation to be<b> baptized.</b> We are going to keep working with her.<br />

Funny story of the week. I was on a work visit with Elder Beazer at a house up in the hills in the evening. The Hermana had made us something to drink and put out some crackers to eat. But then the mom and the dad were going to leave so they could take their baby to the doctor. They were kind of in a rush to leave, and then they looked at us and it occurred to her that she had just barely given us something to eat. She was like....okay we gotta go.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This week was a fantastic week for us here in <b><i>Zona Canto Grande. </i></b>For P. Day, it was just a normal working day because on Wednesday we had the wonderful opportunity to go to the temple.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
It was a fantastic experience. We woke up early and took the train to the temple.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

We are so glad that we had the opportunity to go. </div>

After the session, we had the opportunity to help out a bit in the sealing room, so that was a fantastic but rather “trunkey" experience! haha. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We had an AWESOME lesson that night.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
We visited a family that we had contacted in the marketplace, </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

<b>THEY ARE PURE GOLD</b>. They absolutely loved our message,</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
and there are four of them. Hilda, Janice, Xiarra, and Cristian. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
They listened so intently and we really felt the <b>Spirit </b>as we taught them. </div>

Teaching them was an incredible experience. After that we had a lesson with Karina, and we took out the <b>baptismal</b> date for the 16th of April, and she is super excited to be <b>baptized.</b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b> To top off the perfect night, when we got to our room, President Erickson called and said he was going to take us to lunch the next day. Score!! We had a tasty lunch with <b>President and Hermana Erickson, </b>the Assistants, and a couple other missionaries from the Zone. Every now and then he takes people to lunch, it is so nice of him. I had some tasty <b><i>Cabrito a la norteña </i></b>(lamb cooked with vegetables and spices until tender), which is a super famous <b><i>Peruvian</i></b> dish. </div>

There was a good appetizer of <b><i>canchita serrana con chifles</i></b>. <b><i>Cabrito</i></b> means goat. It was a nice restaurant. My plate cost 35 <b><i>soles</i></b>, which really is only something like eleven bucks but here in <b><i>Perú</i></b> that buys a plate that is like Market Street Grill quality. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I did a good work visit with Elder Rivas. We contacted a really cool new Investigator, and she has a lot of potential. We also had the best <b><i>tacacho </i></b>(a roasted banana Amazonian cuisine dish from <b><i>Peru</i></b>. It is usually served with bits of pork) I have ever had in my life! Super tasty. </div>

I have a confession to make....I thought Easter was NEXT Sunday! Isn’t it always the first Sunday in April or the same Sunday as General Conference? Nobody in <b><i>Perú </i></b>celebrates Easter. They celebrate <b><i>Semana Santa,</i></b> or Holy Week in English. Its like a huge Catholic holiday remembering <b>Jesus Christ.</b> So, my <b>Semana Santa</b> was good, but I was getting ready for Easter next Sunday!! Oh well. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>But yeah all is well here in the Zone. On Tuesday I gave a training to get the Zone a little more pumped because everybody seemed kinda down in the dumps. I gave a comparison to a mile race, and how every six months in the mission is like a lap of the mile race, and it led to a really good discussion on how everybody needs to start strong, stay with the pack, and in the last lap when they hear the bell they just gotta <b>take off and give it their all</b> to <b>finish strong. </b>Everybody really liked it, and afterwards one of the missionaries who is in the last lap came up to me and said, "Thank you for that, that helped me a lot." So that was good to hear.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

As far as the Investigators go, we are teaching a family that is every missionary´s dream to teach: Father, Mother, and their two kids. They are called the Familia P., and they are awesome. They always give us <b><i>Chicha</i></b> or <b><i>Inca Kola</i></b>, and this week the <b><i>Hermana</i></b> is going to cook <b><i>Cuy</i></b> for us:) They are awesome and we are going to help them get married so they can get <b>baptized</b>. We have to contact their little village in <b><i>La Libertad</i></b> to be able to get their birth certificates. <b><i>No problema</i></b>:)</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We also found a really cool Investigator named Fanny, who has a lot of potential. More to come on her next week....But April is looking like it is going to be a good month.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">

So something that happened yesterday was like the most awkward moment of my life, but it was cool. So we were at Stake Conference, and Elder Montoya from the Seventy was there giving a talk. My companion and I had to take care of some matters with some of the other missionaries in the Zone and we were walking from the building where the classrooms are to the big tent outside where the overflow was watching the Stake Conference. On the way to the tent, we had to walk past the chapel where the seventy was inside giving his talk. Suddenly, the doors open and the ushers come out and start motioning toward us and, they say, <b>"The General Authority is calling you guys! He wants you to come in and go up on the stand</b>!" And we were so confused and panicked for a second because we thought he was going to publicly chew us out or something for not sitting down. So they ushered us inside and we went up on the stand and stood right next to him, and it turns out he was talking about missionary work and just wanted two visual aids. He said something that really stood out...he said that “<b>we will always love our missions and that we are going to cry when the day comes that we have to take off our nametags".</b> Ouch! That hurt, but it is so true.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Twas a good week for us here in good ol´ <b><i>Canto Grande.</i></b> We had a fun P. Day last Monday. We rented out a big nice soccer field, and hired a guy to make tacos for the whole Zone. </div>

When we went to pick up the tacos, he gave us some Enchiladas and <b><i>Chicha Morada </i></b><br />
(<b><i>Peruvian </i></b>beverage made from purple corn. It is usually made by boiling the corn with pineapple, cinnamon, clove, and sugar) on the house while we waited. Score! But yeah it was a pretty chill week. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>On Tuesday I went on a work visit to <b><i>Las Lomas</i></b> and we had a good visit, finding some new people to teach. I met a nice member lady whose native language is <b><i>Quechua</i></b>. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Thursday we had to travel to <b><i>Limatambo,</i></b> which is the oldest stake center in <b><i>Perú.</i></b> </div>

It is where Gordon B. Hinckley went to establish the first stake in <b><i>Perú</i></b>, so that was kind of neat. The reason we went there is because we had a visit from two general authorities, Elder Uceda and Elder Lynn Robbins from the Seventy. It was a good meeting, and I learned a lot about how the mission prepares us for life and shapes us and molds us. Before the meeting I met up with my comp from the MTC, Elder Fullmer who is serving in the Lima East Mission, one of the "Richest missions in<b><i> Lima"</i></b> or so they say. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Saturday evening we had another <b>baptism</b>. We <b>baptized</b> <b><i>Hermana </i></b>R., who was SUPER happy to be <b>baptized </b>because she has been investigating the church for a really long time.</div>

We had a good monthly goal meeting, and we also had our monthly leadership council meeting. It was a good meeting, and everyone is excited to work hard this month. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> We also had the <b>baptism</b> of Milagros on Saturday.

So I had a little side project this week...I have to obtain a birth certificate from a little tiny jungle village in <b><i>Amazonas</i></b>. So, I looked up the number of the village and called it. It happened to be a public phone, but some guy answered and I was like “We need your help!” SO now I have a new friend named Audoberto that lives in a tiny little village in the jungle and is going to help us obtain the birth certificate.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> The life lesson I learned this week was from one of the senior missionaries who has graduated from Harvard Business College. During a taxi ride to the leadership meeting we got to talking and he told me <b>that to have success in life,you just need to ask questions...you never know!</b> That is what we did with this jungle village, and if all goes as planned we will get the birth certificate so this family can get married.</div>

For P. Day, we found a guy and hired him to make Tacos for the whole Zone. So, we took everyone’s order and promised tacos to everybody. We call the guy like 20 times and he doesn’t answer his phone. We are thinking "Shoot...the Zone is going to be mad if they don’t get their tacos!!!" So, Elder Rodriguez and I, being the solution searchers that we are, were able to find another guy to make the tacos. Phew! We escaped that dart! hehe.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This was a good week for us down here in <b><i>Perú. </i></b>The highlight of the week was (drumroll please): I finally got to visit <b><i>Machu Picchu </i></b>in the mission! It was just beautiful. (<b><i>Machu Picchu</i></b> is the name of one of the areas in our Zone where I did a work visit, hehe).</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> It was a pretty chill week. P. Day was just “P. Day Free Day”, because half the Zone wasn’t even there, due to some Elders moving houses and others who went to the temple. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This week we were excited because we were able to take out a <b><i>baptismal </i></b>date with a sister named Milagros. She is a Young Woman, and already gets along really well with all the Ward Members. Other than that, it wasn’t too eventful of a week. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We did an interesting <b>service project</b> which consisted of the following: Fixing up a ladder to cut some bricks off the side of the house so that the pigeons would stop perching there. <b>(Mom I already know what is going through your mind, and YES we were careful, and NO, nobody died or got extremely hurt)</b>. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>But yeah it was a good week, and this week we were able to do a TON of <b>baptismal</b> interviews for the month of March, and I am glad that we were able to help some of those people. We are kind of on the hunt for new <b>Investigators,</b> so this week we are just going to go contacting like crazy to be able to find some people that need the <b>Gospel </b>in their lives.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Thought I would greet you guys in <b><i>Quechua:</i></b>) hehe Hope you all had a fantastic week! I know I did. It was actually a pretty chill week. Not a ton to write. We were able to find a lot of really good investigators. We have a lot of possibilities for the month of March, because we had 7 investigators come to church yesterday. Not bad huh? </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>First off, P. Day last week was fun. We had some good ol KFC, which is way better in <b><i>Perú </i></b>by the way. Then we hung out at the institute building and watched a movie. Pretty chill day. We had a good Zone meeting on Tuesday, and everyone seems pretty excited.</div>

Did a work visit with the Elders in <b><i>Canto Nuevo</i></b>, and we taught some pretty good lessons together. We ordered a pizza that night and the pizza guy got mad because he couldn’t find our house. The next day when I told my companion what had happened, he said. "Hey we ordered a pizza too and it was the same pizza delivery guy and he got mad at US too!" Hehe it was the same delivery guy. Poor guy.</div>

We did a really good <b>Family Home Evening</b>, and they invited a sister that has been inactive for like twenty years. We totally re light that gospel fire and we set up an appointment and we met all her family. There is like five people in that house that could get <b>baptized!</b> Yesterday, we brought them all to church and they had a great time. We are going to keep working with them. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

Had a neat experience on Saturday, the Elders from another area had a <b>baptism</b> of a <b><i>Hermana,</i></b> and she asked me to<b> baptize</b> her because I did the interview. I <b>baptized</b> her, and when I was getting out of the water, I noticed she was just standing there in the water for like a minute, just pondering and meditating and looking at the water. It was a sweet experience, because I know she has had a difficult life, and now she just began a whole different life. <b>THAT IS WHY I LOVE THE MISSION! </b>Just being able to see and feel and experience the changes that people have in their lives. It is truly a beautiful experience. </div>
