11/9/09 THANKS Dad, THANKSGIVING IS a state of mind!

so this week was good and bad at the same time. im learning so much everyday but we didnt have hardly any lessons with members present which really is the only way to have baptisms. also, our baptism for marleni fell through but we resolved her doubts and will baptize her without a doubt this next saturday. weve met some great people through contacting which literally we contacted 99 people that live in our area this past week and we have some great investigators. Maria is a single mother with her 20 year old daughter Karen, and then another family Fransisco and Hermedia with there 3 sons...one in casa thats 10 years old and the 2 others live in the chacra, or outside of the area in the fields. we taught their 20 year old son with the dad the other day and it was great. we went to some mines today and i have some great pictures that i am sending thanks to the battery charger i received. thanks mom AND dad! ive got to do some fun service but the only field work i did was today for a minute which youll see in the picture. hope all is well with the family and i want to thank you DAD for writing me and giving me great words of advice and fatherly comfort. i really do appreciate it and couldnt ask for a greater father, example, leader, and priesthood holder. tomorrow we have zone conference and interviews, then wednesday we have multi zone conference with the mission and will be an uplifting day! hope all my family is praying for and thinking of me. i need all the help i can get. miss and love all of you including everyone of my nieces and nephews!! hope i can get to hear from some of my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, or even brothers and sister in law!

11/2/09 DAY OF THE MUERTS is not like Halloween.

wow!!! so much going on at home! i hate getting the news of those that have passed, it seems like it has been at least one a week. so its raining every day here and when it rains...it RAINS!! im getting good use of my rubber boots. ha. the zone leaders are going right now to get the package for our zone so i still dont know if my package came but i will let you know. we have a family of 5 who were lining up to baptize and theyre married, which helps the process. its a couple about 60 years old with 3 daughters about 21 to 28 years old. also, we have a baptism this week for Marleni, who weve been working with since my first weekend here! shes 18, and is very smart and knows how important all the laws and ordinances of the gospel are. also, we are teaching a couple who is married and the dad is great but he only comes home on the weekends because he teaches in a pueblo 4 hours away. all is well here and we went to trujillo today to go shopping and we are now back to the cold here in the mountains. i weighed myself today and i now weigh 176 pounds!!!!!!!! so depressing, but yesterday my pensionista started giving me half the rice and im not eating bread anymore. as well, im not gonna have seconds like i do once in a while. all in all, the work is great and this morning i realized while showering and getting ready, how powerful my calling is and how powerful and real our setting apart is as missionaries. NOBODY could serve a mission without the apartamiento. i love being a missionary and helping FAMILIES become happier and closer, not only to themselves, but to our Heavenly Father. halloween wasnt much here, but dia de los muertos, the same day, all they do is put flowers on the graves and get drunk. its horrible, because when people die, they body is in open casket for 3 days while the friends and family just drink around it, and the thirdy day the have a lunch and then march to the cemetery. how great a way to remember their loved ones.
love and miss you all, and most of all i really enjoyed your letter Dad. i miss doing yardwork with you and think about you constantly. hope all is well with work for you, as well as you Mom. let all my friends know i miss them and say hi to the ward. ¡ciao!

10/26/09 Laughing all the time! A great companion!

first of all my new companion is the best in the world ever!!!!!! he is from lima and only has 2 months left in the mission or one more change after this one. he is the funniest guy in the world and the best trainer, best worker, best everything. im so sad i cant have him as my companion for my whole mission. we are working hard and finding people all the time and are going to walk 3 hours through the mountains on thursday to work in a ¨chacra¨or field with this family so that they wont have to work sunday and can come to church! to show his humor, the other day we were in a mototaxi, which is rare and ive only takin like 3 times, he was like hey man hows it going like massaging his shoulders and then out of knowhere my comp gave the taxista a wet willy!!!!!!!! ahahahahahah. the guy just laughed. we laugh all the time together and the people love our sense of humor and messing with kids in the streets. we have a few baptisms for a week from saturday and families that were working with to get to church! he always says to random people as were walking by like hey hows it going but says greetings in spanish with something in english at the end and we cant stop laughing for like five minutes after. my district leader has 6 months in the mission and is a convert of a year and a half before the mission. 25 years old, from maraga up north by oakland, and graduated from UCDavis. awesome guy and funny, but struggles with the spanish but his spirit is so strong you cant pay attention to that. my zone leaders are both northamericans now and one is from utah and the other is from some town between vegas and st george called logandale where its 88% mormon and theres only like 15000 people. he was from vegas but now only his older sister lives there somewhere in summerlin. anyway, its raining cats and dogs here and im gonna have to send a picture of me in my rubber boots! haha i love to hear about the family, but am sad to here grandpa and grandmas state! let them know how much i love and miss them!!!!!
i want to hear from more of my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 19 - YES I miss my bike. . .but love giving SERVICE!

thanks for all the updates! yes i wrote josh a letter and he should have gotten it by now. he sent me a dear elder and i wrote back in the mail. yeah trust me i miss my bike probably the most out of all the material things at home but i never think of that when i see the people here living with what they have enjoying it. the work is slowly moving here, some less actives are reactivating and we have a few baptisms lined up and more waiting for the couples to get married, but we had a big service activity on saturday from 8am to 4pm and it was a huge success. some sisters who are seamstress´ worked all day on three sewing machines and fixed up peoples clothes who brought them by. we elders shined shoes at the curb and that was the most popular. i taught a little english class and one of the elders here went to chef school before the mission and taught cooking classes and it was awesome. the best part was the hair cutting, because a few sisters know how but our investigator who cuts hair for a living, came and worked the WHOLE day and the sunday before payed tithing and then yesterday as well payed her tithing!!! how awesome is that!? and changes are wednesday and tonight we find out which one of us is leaving but 99% sure its my comp cuz president and the AP´s told him that he was gonna get reassigned about a week ago.
love and miss you all

10/12/09 THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS!

soooo....thanks for the letters nikki, peter, dad, and mom!!!! love hearing about my nieces and nephews always, and dont worry for me and my attitude with my trainer...it really is a problem and he didnt train me ONE bit, which is why one of the AP´s and a zone leader from trujillo came to help him out and president had a good hour long talk with him on the phone. it was bad, i was the one taking lead and being the motivator, and i just am sad that we were having low numbers and next week we will see where we all go for changes but my companion is leaving, thats already been established. im sending a few pictures from this morning and am glad to report that with the help needed, we had 4 investigators at church sunday, and testimony meeting was the most powerful EVER!!!! 6 missionaries to start with and the people here are the best because they keep it simple, and that the way it should be. a couple about mom and dads age are gonna get married so the can get baptized, marleni, who is 18, a 21 year old who after one lesson, watched the talk of elder holland from saturday on the internet, and wants to serve a mission!!!!! haha how powerful is that!?!? also, a recent convert who is 16, is helping her 12 year old sister who is investigating. i know it was because of the fasts and prayers from my family and am so greatful to you all and love and miss you. i got to see the saturday sessions in english and priesthood in the stake center in trujillo, and then sunday watched her in the house of our pensionista in spanish!!!!!how cool no?!?!?! her husband works in television transmission so i listened to the prophet in the mountains of peru in an adobe house haha. love you all and keep me updated

10/5, Fall is in the air. . .Cow Stomach? Interesting. . .

hey mom, first things first, the only thing you can send to the pouch service is trifolded single sheets of paper taped. the little note you sent with the art from elyse came but was opened and had a sticker saying that they dont send them like that which is why they checked inside or something. so yeah. but anyways, still no success for us as far as baptisms go...its killing me but reading that letter of jordans that said he had the same struggle the first 2 months made me feel a little better. a 9 year old named alexander is ready to get baptized and has been to church 3 times but since he watched a baptism a few weeks before we got here with the old elders, he saw that the girl was freezing cold when she came out of the water and now he doesnt want to get baptized, solely for the cold water. so were gonna try and do something to work that out but hes never home and so we cant tal to him. weve taught his mom lessons 1-3 and ive her scriptures to read everytime and she does it and is very interested and understands very well and loved the plan of salvation lesson. the only problem is she still hasnt prayed specifically to recieve an answer about what weve taught her, which is the problem with all 804573586730947563 of our investigators!!!!!!!! ahhh it bugs but ive been patient and know the time will come. also, Marleni, who in 3 days prayed twice about what we taught her and recieved an answer to both, and committed to getting baptized, has since begun teaching catholocism classes to little kids at the catholic church, which is very strange because she told us she didnt practice any religion. so yeah, i worry for this branch because the president does nothing, doesnt come to correlation meetings, and didnt even come to the activity thursday night!!!!!!!!!!!!! and HE LIVES in the same place as the church?! yeah, theres problems, but prayer is keeping me motivated, and although my companion is not doing his part a lot of the time, im probably gonna talk to the zone leaders and hope he makes a change. for the second time yesterday, we ended our fast by eating cow stomach, which totally is not fun.
ciao everyone, love and miss you all.
thanks for the dearelder heidi! i loved it and get so excited when i hear how well the missionary work is there in yours and nikkis ward love - Elder Nichols

Kylle's style hat will have to wait for his son, Carter is already too big for it!

9/28/09
yeah i live behind the casa capilla or chapel house and its not a good idea to send mail up my way. just to the trujillo address you have. and ive only dealt with diahrrea and like two killer head aches. suprisingly, my feet havent given me a HUGE problem, obvious pain but nothing out of the ordinary. thanks for everything and i just sent the memory card to the house with a little alpaca beanie for carter, and two little pins that have little peruvian people for lucy and elyse. i got them in lima and just never sent them. thats my present for tyler and katy so carter better sport that bad boy. 100% alpaca son! the little pins were a sole but i felt so bad for the lady who was selling them i had to buy one and then when i bought it thinking lucy would think it was funny or who knows what, i was like hmm, elyse might be upset with the thought that i got something for lucy and not for her. so yeah. love you all and miss you and hope all is well in all your respective homes with your respective families!!!! were having a "noche de kilo" this thursday night in our branch which is supposed to mean everyone brings a "kilo" of some dry good prepared into a easy but good thing to eat as an emergency preparedness thing. oh yeah, and also, when we got back from trujillo last week after p-day, we went straight to the funeral of the 2nd counselor in our branches 2 year old son. very sad occasion but i have realized even more how true the church is in light of this experience...he was inactive for about a year until about 2 months ago and then yesterday in church i saw him as a different person, he is happy and bright now whereas before he wasnt to excited about stuff but even the day of the funeral HE was the strength for everyone. also a side note, the funeral was very different. you just pick an empty spot in the cemetary, and dig a hole, which he did, and then we helped fill in the hole, and as we did so came across a full head of grey hair that was in the ground before and a nice bone. welp, thats all for now. !ciao¡

Eating a lot of WEIRD THINGS - don't believe it!

so this last week i had the opportunity to eat a lot of wierd things...first, the backfat of a cow which was disgusting and i snuck some of it to the dogs at the house i was at...haha, then guinea pig, then cow stomach which tasted and smelt like poop...literally, then some part of a sheep which i dont know.
stake conference yesterday was awesome because it was via satellite and E Holland, E Uchtdorf, E Grow of the 70, and the 1st counselor of the relief society all spoke. it was a conference for 90 stakes in Peru and was great to get a chance to hear.
by the way mom, sadly when i was in the MTC in Lima, someone happened to walk off with my charger for my battery in my camera and also some of someones cd´s that were in our room...we looked verywhere in the MTC the last two weeks but we figured it was probably the non member electricians that came in to do work on the lights one day. anyway, im in trujillo right now and im staying the night with the zone leaders for our zone meeting tomorrow and my agenda is in their apartment cuz we came straight here from lunch and thats where i noted the model of the charger. i cant promise but i think its a canon camera battery charger model # CB-2LY. have tyler or someone look that up and see if it is similar. i can wait til next week to be sure but im just letting you know. we had a baptismal date set for this saturday for an amazing 18 year old girl but the adversary got a hold of her and shes a little confused right now so were hoping to fix that. we have about 7 -9 strong investigators who were hoping will have kept their compromisos but well have to wait and find out. anyways, i love you all and miss you all so much. hope all is well at home, let me know what all is going on with everyone!
also, tell josh to email me or give me his email. ¡ciao!

P-day is on MONDAY. .. Write Sunday night, please!

so my p-day is on monday now so make sure to write me before then! i havent had the chance to read your letters from this week but i will read and reply next week. im so excited to be here and had a great experience with elder burrup from washington last night in our proseliting! contacted both of our taxi drivers who both happened to be named freddy, haha. anyways, im still anxiously awaiting to find out where ill be going and who my new companion will be...i could possibly be on a 8 or 10 hour bus ride tonight! love you all and thanks for your prayers and fasts! i feel so blessed to have you all as examples

So MUCH TO SAY, So little time!~

so.....!!!!!!!!! so much to say in such little time. i dont know how im going to do this. my trainer is elder rivera from guatemela and hes been out 7 months. our area is a little pueblo way up in the mountains called otuzco. i live in a room below the branch president and his wife and the chapel is a "casa capilla". pretty wierd cuz i dont even have hot water and i have to bail water to flush the toilet. oh, and water is only available from like 6.30 to 8 in the morning. totally doesnt always work that way though so ive gone twice without showering but bailed some semi clean water to wash my hair and face. anyways, theres so much work here in the area because before there were only two elders and now theres 4 of us here in this branch of about 60 active members. in a way both companionships are sort of opening new areas so its kind of cool. im the only white person theyve seen in this town for a few years and its funny because everyone stares and all the girls whistle...kinda opposite than the states? haha im such a standout though so i dont really take it as a compliment. our pensionista is the sweetest lady and was the first member in otuzco 12 years ago. in our area there are only 3 member families which kind of is a bummer but there are some great members who go out with us and weve been with at least one member each day for about half the day. ive suprisingly gotten used to eating some sick stuff and cant recall exactly what some of it was, not to mention the food i DO recognize is cooked in a very dirty place where the people dont really stay to clean either. but what can i do? my comp actually is a baby with the food which suprises me seeing that hes latin. but yeah i cant shrink what all i want to say, entonces we have about 9 new investigators, 5 of which are solid, 1 who is a 18 year old girl who within the last 3 days ive actually worked here, and last two with her, she already prayed and knows the BOM is true, and now were hoping she does the same regarding Joseph Smith and the Restoration. miss and love you all...look up otuzco peru on google or something, its a sweet place and there are a lot of drunks on the weekends, and sad to say, we saw a member who is supposedly been having a problem with drinking, drunk late last night as we returned to our cuarto. anyways, theres lots of work to do here and were busy trying to tackle it. hope all is well with you and let me know whats going on at home and with everyone.

In 6 days I will be entering the field. . .YEAH! 9/2/1009

okay so i just got back from the temple and everything is good here with me! i leave in 6 days to my mission and it is so wierd to think im not gonna be with tons of other elders but im so excited and cant wait. my funny story on obedience...last week the night before p-day i didnt have a clean long sleeved shirt which i needed because i would be going to immigration, anyways, i was allowed, only me, to wash that one shirt so i would have it for the next day. since the laundry room dowstairs was unlocked for me and none of the other elders knew, i waited to go when they were in their dorms, and like a clever guy, i just took all my whites and threw them in the washer, and what do you know, the one washer i happened to choose had blue ink on the tub and i didnt see it until after i took my clothes out...but even more random(not random obviously), was that the only piece of clothing that had blue ink on it was the shirt that i was going to use to wear for immigration!!! only on the pocket so i was able to get it out but i learned a nice little lesson there. ha. anyways, i went proseliting with my new companion on saturday in the same ward and it was good, but not as successful as before, which was a bummer, and my companion doesnt understand fully, the fact that we cant always stick to plan, and he gets all frustrated. wierd thing is, he´s from the same ward as elder moore's old companion who used to do the same exact thing. odd side note. not much news this week but i am just prepping to get into the field and work hard and lose myself in this great work! any of my siblings or siblings-in-law who want to email me a little advice for me as i enter the field i would love that. miss you all and thank you all for your great examples to me! keep me in your prayers as i do even when i bless my food for 30 seconds! my family is my motivation here aside from the people im here to serve and i love you all. have a great week and fast for me this sunday if you would as i prepare to enter my first area with my trainer.

LOVES VISITING MEMBERS in LIMA PERU - Aug.12, 2009

holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much to take in from you being sick to the van being stolen at the office! im so sorry to hear all that and ill remember to keep you specifically in my prayers. i miss you and wish i were there to help and enjoy the company of everyone but im doing great and another week has gone by and on saturday we went out for the whole day and tracted, visited less actives, made street contacts, all kinds of exciting stuff, and we had great success. my companion and i have 3 lessons to go back and teach next saturday and some other people to visit so im looking forward to that! the first thing on the list is to visit the less actives in the ward that we are assigned to. LOTS of less actives! anyway, we started off and the first person wasnt home but an old man was sitting on the curb and for ¨ssome reason¨ he was sitting on the side across from his house...obviously waiting to hear us :) so i started a conversation and by the end he said he was going to go to church the next day. next man was home, and was a little old seamstress who was doing a suit at the moment, but it was the most amazing lesson and the Spirit was strong! we taught him and he commited to go to church the next day and said he knew he had been missing that Spirit that we brought into his home. next, a man who was about early-mid 30´s let us talk to him at the door and we ended up teaching him about eternal families and he has been inactive for 11 years but was going to go to church to take the sacrament because he had to work, and he shared experiences from the temple when he did baptisms when he was 15 and a brand new member. we had a lot more amazing experiences and i would love to share them, but i dont have time, but my favorite was our last, when we were knocking the doors we felt like we should...the man was awesome and seemed weird about us at first, come to find out the evangelical church a block down told the people that if they listen to us or our book, theyre dead(he motioned his thumb across his throat haha) anyway, everythings fair here and the food is alright. i got the flu friday and stayed in for the afternoon of class resting and throwing up, and i just barely got passed the diahrrea phase. but miss you all and hope to talk to and hear from you soon

Love My Peruvian Companion - teaching him ENGLISH!

sooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! its way different here which didnt surprise me. food is different, classes, people, everything. my days right now are different than the previous three weeks cuz my companion is peruvian! doesnt know a word in english, he´s 25!!!, and he used to be a mototaxista! its so funny cuz i try to teach him english and almost pee myself laughing at how he talks. he has had a rough life and its obvious money has never been present in his life which is so sad but so humbling to me because i see that he is happy and sweet spirited.so once again this email ldsmail crap kicked us all out so now im back starting over but to be honest, i loved the provo mtc so much more than this but this mtc has its plus's. we get to go out our 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th saturdays from 1 to 8 or 9 at night to contact inactives and tract in the streets. every 2 districts go to a ward building and meet up with missionaries from the ward and other leaders from the ward who take us out in companionships which im way excited for!to be honest, friday night and all saturday i was bummed because i just kept imagining what all my family was doing with the whole wedding and reunion but i got through it ha. i wish i were there with all you and hope all is well in all the respective homes of my family, and wish i had the time to write you all but 30 minutes isnt much for a weeks events. miss and love you all!peter-im gonna be sending my 8GB card home cuz a latin kid was messing with my camera like a retard and doesnt know english so somehow he deleted all my pictures which was a very furious moment for me because all my pictures from provo were on it but some techy kid told me theres programs on the internet and also companies that you can send the card to, to retrieve the pictures because all deleting them on the camera does is mark those pictures as though they can be written over so if you dont take any more pictures on the card they can retrieve them so im hoping thats the case!mom-i dont need warm stuff, winter here is a joke. its great weather here in lima right now...sadly no sun much but its all good. OH!!! and i heard a secret that an apostle is coming to speak to us at the end of AUGUST!!!!!!!!!!! way cool! theres 76 missionaries here in our CCM and 3/5ths are latin the other 2/5ths are americans obviously. but yeah, gotta run, love you and miss you. i might be able to write back later so feel free to write back whenever!!!!

I'm Sleeping in another Continent! July 30. 2009

so....lots to say!!!!!!!!!! im here in lima at the mtc. its 10.15 here in the morning and we just got done filling out a bunch of government papers. our plane from atlanta left way late and we were sitting in the plane at the gate for like a no hour and a half so then we didnt get in til like 11.30 and the customs line was like ridiculous for some reason all the airlines think its smart to fly in at the same time, so we waited forever and then funny enough the aduana who helped me was a member. we got onto the bus at like 1.30 and it took a good 45 minutes to get to the CCM and i passed the TEPSA Station!!!!!!!!!!!(Peter and Stacie) the picture i got was blurred though so i deleted it. the lima temple closes for 2 weeks today so i wont go for a while but its just a mile or two away. i got very little sleep, on top of like two 30 minute power naps on the plane and 2 hours of sleep the night before i left provo. so im dead!!!!!!!!!!!! the mtc here is so much better already, they have a turf soccer field, ping pong tables, fusbol tables, street soccer courts, amazingly nice bathrooms with granite countertops, very nice rooms, and its hilarious because the cafeteria is run by the concessions company Aramark ha. i have a latin companion havent met him yet hope to in a while but i get to go nap for a bit which im more than excited for. peter, my spanish just needs to be warmed up which it wasnt yesterday and already has been put on the warmer since i arrived and was helping the other elders. cant wait to send pictures! not sure if i can yet but we shall see. miss all of you and hope the beach is great again today and such. the weather is so amazing right now. when we got to the airport all the peruvians were wearing heavy coats and we were in our suits dying of the heat. talk to you all later
