Hola from the city down in Pacasmayo! I am doing just fine. This week I left the CCM for good! YAY. After I met my mission president who reminds me of Elder Christoferson. I love them already. This week I got my new companion Elder Males! He is awesome, 100 percent quechuan from Quito Ecuador! We have been working hard and Have had many miracles happen this week. We had one special person who came up to us and asked us what time church was and showed up to church!!! A miracle. Pacas Mayo is close to the beach and it is pretty warm down here but I am doing fine. My pensionista is a perfect member of the church. She is my Peruvian madre. Oh and elder males has really long hair, that`s cool. The people here have the problem of living together without being married and so we have worked to resolve that, but it`s ok. We had one Menos Activo that said she would be married and later be sealed in the temple! That was a very powerful moment. I love you guys all so so much! The blessings I receive in the mission come from your prayers and I am so grateful. Keep praying for the missionaries and we will keep working to bring the work of salvation. I love all of you guys so so much! You have no Idea. Oh and I love the people of Peru so much! They are so cute and let`s be honest a little little. HAHA, I`ll email you guys next week! Remember to read the scriptures, they're powerful.

Made it!!
Familia I have successfully made the journey from the CCM to Trujillo Peru. I'm safe and doing fantastic. I don't know when my next P day will be but it will come I promise. I love you all so much! Presidente and Hermana Marler are fantastic and have truly helped welcome me to the mission. They will keep me safe and I'm sure my trainer will keep me safe also! I love all of you and I think you guys are amazing. Thank you for all of your prayers and know that I am praying for all of you. This church is true and I'm here to preach it to the wonderful people of trujillo peru. I love all of you guys, remember that.

Hola, familia y amigos! Como esta? Como le va?
I am doing fantastic from the southern nation of Peru! I love love
love the people here! They are just perfect! Ok I will start off with
what litterally happened this week along with some of the spiritual
stuff, cause I think you guys just might think it´s cool. SO HERE WE
GO!
We had a meeting with presidente to start off the week as the new Zone
Leaders! It was fantastic! He is a truly wonderful man, I feel the
spirit all the time around him... However he does not smile very much.
Oh and that day my dear amigo was sick and he asked me to give him a
blessing. Oh it was fantastic! I love the mission. After that we
basically had a normal day.
On friday we had classes and our teacher told us some amazing stories.
I can´t wait to be in the field! Basically the same thing happened on
friday, accept our other teacher told us stories.
Domingo was fantastic, I got to once again join that extra meeting
with all of the leadership and report on our zone! They are doing
fantastic.
Monday was very interesting. Mostly because during class my teacher
asked to speak with me and he gave me a challenge. In his
words,´´Elder Wynn, your espanol es bueno, pero it can be mas bueno.
So I challenge you not to speak ingles para the rest of your time in
the CCM.´´ So that is currently going on right now and it´s kind of
hard, but kinda a blessing. He is fantastic!
Martes we had a meeting with elder lezano! He was awesome and he gave
a terrific talk about how his missionary experiences had blessed him.
Fantastic!!!
Ok so now the day where everything happens, P DAY! It has been quite
fantastic! I love the peruvian people. Oh my goodness! This morning
the gardiner came up to us and asked us how much time we had left in
the CCM. When we said one week he was like Oh no elders! He´s been a
real blessing in my life and I smile everytime I see him. Also our bus
driver today had his son in the front seat of the bus and he was the
cutest little thing ever. I´m going to adopt a peruvian baby! He was
so cute and when I shook his hand he didn´t want to let go! LINDO!
that´s cute for all you americanos. The temple was fantastic and I
bought the last of what I needed from the temple store! Oh how great
this life is.
I have some advice for those of you who want to serve a mission. Be
careful and come out when you are ready! Some of the people out here
act like they´re still in high school and it drives me nuts! We are
missionaries and It´s time to start acting like it! So if you want to
come on a mission be prepared to forget your normal life and move on
into the missionary life! That means forget your old bad habbits not
the people you love, Love you MOM and DAD and Family and all of you!
HAHA, And also be prepared to meet missionaries who arn´t quite ready
for the resposibilities of a mission. With great power comes great
responsibility!
I love you all so much like I really mean it! I am so grateful to all
of you and more who have made me into the man I am today!!! I am so so
excited to share this gospel and if any of you have questions about
the gospel I´d love to answer them!!! You guys are truly amazing, I
feel your prayers for the missionaries every day and I think you guys
are truly the driving force behind me and all of us. Keep on sending
love and support! And don´t forget you are amazing!
Hasta lluego

Hola! This week was crazy with general conference and other amazing things!
General conference was fantastic! All of the prophets spoke to us and
it was easily the best general conference in my life! My favorite two
talks where back to back! Elder Hales gave one specifically to the
young people and Elder Holland gave one about the mothers love. Oh my
goodness, I miss you mom! That talk was so so beautiful and I am so
grateful for you! The rest of conference was great. I am sad that it´s
over, but I´ll be alright!
Oh and big anouncment! I got released as district leader last weak and
now I´m put in as a zone leader. So a lot more interviews!!! AHHH! I
didn´t even do a good job the first time and they are having me do it
all over again! It´s a wonderful growing oppurtunity for me and I´m
going to work with all my heart might mind and strength!
This week our teacher left the CCM. Hermana Loyza is an amazing woman!
She taught us more espanol that I´ve ever learned. She has been our
investigator kathleen and she will be missed. She is also on vacation
this week in SLC so look out for her all of you Utah people!
The rest of my week consisted of classes and other things that were
fantastic, but you guys would probably find them boring so we will
pass by it. I right everything in my journal mom! You can read it
after. That goes for the rest of you guys to!
Ok let´s get to the good stuff. Today we have been out and about Lima
and we went to a local store and after shopping Elder Babbel and I
Started handing out books of momon! It was awesome. I talked with a
ten year old boy today who when I introduced myself and pointed at my
name tag, pointed at my nametag and said JESUS! He was amazing, but
they were gone to quickly to place a Book of Mormon. NOOOOO! Ok the
next lady we met was a sweet woman who we saw sitting outside the
store! She was wonderful and Elder Babbel placed the book of mormon as
a anti mormon grabbed me swung me around and told me a lot of false
doctrine...yup that´s right. He said joseph smith had forty wives and
that he moved to mexico, because utah was mexico. I was nice and
patient and told him I knew the book of mormon was true. He was not
very happy and told me to learn about the forty women and left... Yeah
that ruined my day a little, but It´s right back on track!
Oh also we met this Former missionary at the store today, he was like
4´10´´ and he spoke english. Oh the people here are wonderful!
So that´s my week! How are you guys? You ok? How´s Utah?
Any questions?
