I'm so cold


Sooooooooo I'm freezing here, for all those in California I'd love you to send me some of that heat please. Getting up out of bed in the morning is so hard, it's like leaving an oven and walking into snow. 

Butttt yah so this sector is awesome I'm having a blast with Elder Letham, we work and teach so well together it's really really cool. We have a ton of little towns in our sector cause it's so flippin big, and we walk a tonnnnnnnnnn, at the end of the day we're pooped, but there's a little town like 40 minutes walking out from Puno called Totorani, literally every door we knocked they invited us to come in and share a message, like what. So now we've decided to make that walk almost everyday cause it's so dang worth it and the people there are sooo nice. We set 3 baptismal dates this week!! That's a crazy amount and we're super excited, Last night we had a lesson with Gabriela, she's been an investigator for a long time and the only reason she hasn't gotten baptized yet is cause she's scared to make such a big covenant with the Lord, which I think is awesome. She's 16 and insanely smart and now we're slowly starting to talk with her parents too, cause they're on board with her being baptized too. SO, I decided that we should talk about the Atonement, (my favorite thing to teach about) and explain that even after baptism we're going to mess up, that's like a gurantee 100% will happen thing, but that's why we have the atonement. Even after baptism and we mess up, we can continue using the Atonement of Christ and erase those gross sins. She told us that she was a lot less scared now and that she really wants to do it now, so we set a date for the 15 of July and we all got really happy haha. 

So yah that was an awesome experience we had yesterday, I appreciate the Atonement so much more than I did before my mission, not just cause I'm teaching about but cause I'm learning more about it WHEN I teach. It's cool. 

Learning a ton everyday, I help elder Letham with Spanish a lot and we have a ton of fun with it, for Language study I play guitar and we sing spanish on the go, helps a ton and it shows you can have fun with anything you do:) So yah, people are awesome here, we're teaching and working a ton, we have a couple families that we're teaching which is the bestttt. Hope you all have an awesome week!! Love you all! --------Jacob 2:19-----------

19 And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good—to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted.
