today we did a service project from 7:30 am until now with all the missionaries/sisters in the Trujillo zones (90 of us in total) we all had our yellow helping hands vests on and we planted trees in peoples yards so it was fun and an opportunity to contact others and represent the church in a positive social activity. these last few days, elder mcgrath and i have been traveling up north to each area in Guadalupe that will be going to the new mission and working with the missionaries and meeting with the local leaders preparing plans and making sure all are in shape and gaps are filled in fulfilling their callings because it is a District there and they fall under the missions direction. wednesday we had our monthly zone leader council and it was great. next week we will head to cajamarca and stay for 3 days and 3 nights so that Pres. and Sis. Turk can have a testimony meeting with all the missionaries, last interviews with Pres. Turk, and an activity, while we work half day with each area. it really is so sad and hard to say goodbye to the elders their, especially for Pres. and Sis. Turk (as their parents) and i have been so strengthened by the work we have been able to do with the new mission and all the missionaries who will be leaving because they really are some of our best missionaries and i know the Lord has prepared it in such a manner so that His gospel can continue reaching the ends of the earth. i love this work so much and know that it is the MOST IMPORTANT WORK on this earth.
will send pictures a little later, gonna go cut my hair, eat lunch, then in the evening we will attend a baptism and visit the new family we are teaching! pray for them and all those who are coming to know the Restored Gospel.
hope all is well in your homes
love you all,
Elder Nichols
