Marcus's Mission

  Hey guys gonna keep this email short because in full reality nothing really happened these bast 3 days.  Visited the Temple last thursday (p-day for last week) and it was much needed!! Always love visiting the temples escpecially ones in spanish. Had exchanges with our zone leaders and honestly had a blast speaking spanish with them all day. The Elder I was with is from equador and knows English super well, he learned through watching movies on netflix so guys it is still possible to learn through minimal effort... I led the area so we visited all our friends and had a great time practicing both languages Ok like I said short SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: I heard a quote about hope that has realky stood out to me, it kinda goes something like this.       "In the darkest times Hope is something you give yourself, that is the meaning of innerstrength" We learn from Alma 32:21 that, "faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope...

  So just to start off I wanna share a miracle with all you guys. That   ️miracle ️ is that the pipes in our apartment   are still working and toilets are found in every house across town ... Don't forget to count your many blessings. Name them one by one. Lets just say my companion was counting a lot a blessings throughout the week. Tres leche   here in Perú is a different level of taste (Ok so Grandma "tres leche" literally translates to "three milk" just to help out with the idea ) This week has been a real long one to say the least. Got our p-day changed due to the fact that we are going to the temple today so sorry for the confusion or unintended ignorance. Its been 10 days without a P-day so cut me a little slack.  Having a great time with the people out here, for those watching the photos, we met this guy his name is Bryan and me and my comp see him all over, doing randomly different stuff every time we see him. Basically NPC type person (non-playable cha...

  Happy 100 Day mark in the Field!! So thats weird because I cannot remember where the time went. I remember celebrating my 100 day mark in school when we were in elementary. Now I'm out here doing the same on the mish,  Anyway this week has been such an awkward week and honestly if you asked me what we did I couldn't tell you what happened until thursday of this week so let me start with that. Thursday was such an amazing day for us in the work because we had over achieved our goal ️ of having members in our lessons and met our goal of finding 2 people . Also that day we extended a baptism  date to a guy who is litterally one huff and a puff  away from blowing away to ash ... So we hope to dunk him before, you know, so he's got that checked off the holy salvation checklist... but we are are truly so excited for this guy, but one problem we've come across is this guy cannot hear  for the life of him or see . So we had to hit him up with a little checkup afterwar...

  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...
