It was great to hear from Marcus that he traveled safely from the Lima Peru MTC to his his mission in Trujillo.


It was followed by an email from his mission president:

Dear  Elder Hill  Family,
Greetings from the Peru Trujillo North Mission!
We are so grateful for your support in preparing and sending  Elder Hill to serve in this sacred work of the Lord Jesus Christ. 
We feel honored to welcome  Elder Hill, into the mission family.   We know they have a desire to serve their Savior. We are confident that they will be a powerful instrument in the Lord’s hands as we labor together in the Gathering of Israel.
As missionaries here in the Peru Trujillo North Mission, we are united in purpose — to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.
We look forward to working closely with your missionary. We love them already, and we will strive to help them grow spiritually and emotionally during their time here. We know the Lord has great things in store for Elder Hill, and we are excited to witness their progression and the many lives they will bless.
Here are some pictures:
  • The joyful arrival of the new missionaries at the airport in Trujillo, welcomed by our office missionaries and sister leaders.

  •  President and Sister Harries and your missionary at the beautiful Trujillo Peru Temple.

  • The first companionship of their mission:
    Trainer: Elder Nicoll
    Zone: Central
    Area: California 2

We hope these images bring you comfort and joy, knowing your missionary is safe, loved, and already engaged in the Lord’s work.
Thank you again for your faith and sacrifice in supporting  Elder Hill . Please know that we are here to love, support, and guide them throughout this sacred experience.
With heartfelt gratitude,
President and Sister Harries
Peru Trujillo North Mission

The work is moving along here, now we have a baptism date and she is just the coolest. We're hoping she can move her baptism sooner to this week . This week we have transfers and I swear if we get moved out before we baptize her I will flip out. It has taken so much work to get this place running again...  Well Tuesday started off a little bummy because that was the day that we were supposed to receive our carnets and all the other boys in my group did. BUT I DIDN'T. Let me help you picture what this place is like. It looks just like a dmv, with letters and numbers saying who goes next. Every single number is just randomized and it looks like a mess. I would argue that this place, called migrations, is worse than the DMV . The sad part was, I wasted my time in that office waiting like everyone else but did not get my brownie card . next week. What made up for it though was spending time with the boys that I had gotten close with in the MTC. So I guess it wasn't all too bad ...

  Whats up guys!! Hope everyone is having a great week this week because I feel like last week just ended. We had a busy week so maybe thats why it felt so fast. We've turned into robots. Finding people has become a rhythm. We just visit all the parks around here because 1 they are beautiful, and 2 it is where people go when they have extra time. As with the title we used the Spanish phrase at the top a lot. Which means, we don't want to take more of your time, which was just for us to stop talking with them to find some more people. The work is hard out here, especially when people love to talk about God and Jesus but never want to accept what we've asked of them. But at least we're spreading the gospel out here!! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: For my spiritual thought today I want to talk a little about why we as members of the church of Jesus Christ love not only the joy our gospel brings but what Jesucristo does for every one of us. So it begins. Why do members of the church wa...

  Well the sweet and dreadful transfers happened last week... luckily me and my companion are staying another transfer!! My area here has been a real stick in the neck and frustrating, and brown. Not counting how much of a baby mission it is with food cooked for us for two meals and laundry done and folded by someone else... I've been trying to find the good here in where I'm at. Like the food            But trying to teach people who don't want to do anything we ask them to, can really getcha. People's agency is important to God, but sometimes I wish I could just get people to keep their promises... But God has a plan, a plan that is so perfect that even his most rebellious and disruptive child cannot stop the joys we have waiting for us after this life. This week was real boring and we have mostly had lessons with people who we are dropping. It's hard to look at your work and say you're doing a good job when there really isn't anything to show. But a...
