LA NAVIDAD ESTA VENIENDO!!!!

Christmas is coming!!! And I`m so excited. I am so excited for the month of December!!! We get to remember our redeemer`s birth! I`m especially excited to be out here on the lord`s errand this time of year. We have a lot of promising investigators and I think a few baptisms this month too!

This week was awesome and I had my first baptism! It is so cool the joy you experience when you bring souls unto Christ!! I want to bring more to him! It was amazing to have this experience and I am so happy down here.

We`ve had quite the week traveling to Trujillo and other awesome things and so it`s been hard to get lessons in this week, but this next week is relatively normal so we should be back in business in no time!

We were in Trujillo this week for a day with president marler and he really is the coolest man ever! He taught us the perspective of God, which is we are his children. But because we are his children we are future God`s! It is so so amazing when you try and see the world through Heavens Eyes. Everything makes a little more sense.

This week we have started to see grand changes in some of our investigators. This December should be amazing, because we have 4 couples that are working towards marriage, and after baptism!!! Holy cow I`m so excited for this. 

I have made it through my first change in the field and nothing really happened. So we will just keep going.

I had a small medical problem this week with a strained muscle in my back, but I`m just fine! It hasn`t affected my work in the slightest!!! I`m so grateful for all of you! I feel your support and prayers everyday, so please don`t stop! They really help.

Now time for some teachings of mama K! Don`t worry about other people when you can only control yourself. If you want to be happy be happy!!! HAHA, I`ve been using my mom`s teachings this week to be more happy and more positive. I hope by the end of the mission I can just always be positive!!!  Thanks again!! I love you guys and can`t wait to email you next week!

Any questions?

HOLA!!

Hola hombres y mujeres!!! Bienbenidos a Pacas Mayo!!!

We had a fantastic week with a lot of success. We had 8 investigators in the chapel and 3 less actives. We`ve been working hard and I have a great email for you guys this week.

To start off we`ve been seeing some great changes in peoples lives! There is one investigator who has told us multiple times that the church is true, and that she wants to change her life. Plus she was in the chapel, so she`s acting on this desire!!! It`s so amazing to view the difference in peoples lives. 

This part is such sad news...this week we`ve been working really hard with our investigators that will be baptized this Saturday, but we found one of our investigators drunk in the street the other day...one of the ones that should`ve been baptized this Saturday. That was so hard. We`re struggling a little bit with that, but we`re going to help him get through this challenge! But we do have a baptism this week! SO HORRAY!!!! 

HAHA, ok now for some laughs, a couple weeks ago I was in a lesson and made a little language error... Instead of using the word pecado(sin)...I said pescado(Fish). There was a little boy present and he died laughing. Oops! HAHA, also I was asked to be someone`s padrino which is the witness for their wedding. Umm, imagine me in this conversation, but I have no clue what`s going on cause it was about weird titles in spanish. Plus there was a woman saying your blonde hair is so cute. So I was really confused.

Spiritual time!!! This one is the best, we had interviews this week with president marler and He is fantastic. We were talking about God`s mathematics and he told me that it`s hard for us to comprehend. The lord asks of us to give all of our heart. Some people are confused by this and don`t know what they`ll receive in return. He responded and said the lord will give back our heart and so much more!!!! That was so cool. Your heart is the only thing that heavenly father doesn`t have. And if you give it to him he`ll give you everything!

The mission is so wonderful!!! Any questions? I think this is a picture of elder bond!!! If you see this man in the states in a few weeks give him a huge hug!!! He`s one of the asistantes a la presidente!!! He`s the best ever

All you need is LOVE

So I have had an interesting week. We have been having a lot more success this week and it`s been good. We started off with preparing one of our investigators for baptism!!! He is so powerful. It`s nacho and he is awesome, but it`s hard to understand him because he talks like Troy in swamp people, but also in Spanish...But I`ve been able to understand him and that is a blessing. 

We had an awesome lesson this week with a menos activo and her family is now interested in the gospel. She is scheduled for a marriage this January with her husband and after her whole family can be baptized. So exciting.

Also we had a powerful lesson with another family and committed one to a baptism on the 28th and one needs a marriage before baptism, but she committed to the marriage. YES! and the last perfect lesson was with another family of investigators and they are just awesome!! The spirit was strong and everyone was crying a little, but then satan came in the form of shoppers...Yep we were about to extend the invitation for baptism and knock knock, and this happened 3 times!!! Why!? We will extend the invitation this week. Oh and last night we had a lesson with the coolest young man ever!! He`s an investigator is 15 years old and is so funny. We`ve been helping him with his faith in Christ and he`s really loving the gospel. He is just perfect. He came with us to church this week and it was quite funny when we passed some members of a different church. He leaned over to me and said quite loudly, they`re part of the false church. It was so funny.

So I have news for you about Peru. They are all very proud to be peruano, everyplace has red and white. They only eat with spoons. They are tiny but probably the toughest people I`ve ever met!! They are crazy! I love Peru! Oh and they are die hard soccer fans even though the team is so so. 

Family and friends, keep spreading the love to everyone you can. It`s what heavenly father wants and we can help all of the world! Love you guys, and remember Heavenly father loves you more!!!

Questions?

HOLA HOLA

Bienbenidos to another week in the life of Elder Wynn! I have made it two months and am goin kinda strong... The mission is the funnest and hardest thing I`ve ever done. But this month should be awesome, we have a baptism and a rescate all lined up!

So last week we were at the beach and I had a wonderful time with my district while at the beach I had the revelation that all I need to do in Life is LOVE! It`s just the perfect way to build the kingdom of god! So Elder Males and I have been working really hard to bring more people to church this week and it payed off. It`s becoming harder and harder to get people to church. But we love em so we`ll keep trying.

We are having a lot of walking time here in PACAS MAYO, because everyone likes to miss our appointments. We have found a lot of good people too who don`t miss our appointments. This week we were talking with a man who told us his story of conversion to christianity. He was a ladron in the past and was crazy, but he`s turned his life around and now he wants to here our lessons. How amazing. Oh, and we have a wedding that`ll happen january!!!! This is very very special. I`m so excited.

This week was very hard on our district as we lost one of the strongest saints to a heart attack. This hermana was just amazing. She was about as tall as me if not taller, but was confined to a wheelchair and blind. She came to church every week to take the sacrament! Holy cow! She passed away and we`ve been helping her family.

I bought an awesome bag today! Peru is awesome.

Love yyou guys!!!

Any questions? Any way I can help you guys?

November 2, 2015

Ok so this week has been an emotional roller coaster!!! The mission is so hard and rewarding at the same time. But I have some awesome stories from this week!

Ok so first is the story of a man we will call Nacho. He cannot read and he talks in the craziest spanish ever!!! This week we visited him and schedueled a baptismal date, but that wasn`t the coolest part. During the lesson we were talking about prophets and I have a picture book with all of the prophets and stories in the scriptures. I handed him the book and he began filing through the pictures. He had heard these stories from the missionaries, but because he can`t read had never had the oppurtunity to read the scriptures. He filed through the pictures and I almost cryed! He got a chance to read his way the stories of jesus, and I explained to him what each picture was. It was amazing.

Also this week we have been visiting lots of families and a ton said they were coming to church! well...not really. That was really hard yesterday to see all of those people not come to church, but I`ll make it. 

The people here are so amazing and have such strong testimonies and they are just fantastic! I love them. It`s hard to watch them struggle through their poverty. Our area is in the poorest part of pacas mayo, the hills. It`s all sand and brick walls, many of the houses lack electricity in this area. We also have a wealthy area so the difference is interesting. These people are so humble and are just perfect! I think they are the best. Remember how blessed you are!

I know this gospel is true with all my heart and whenever we feel bad we can turn to the scriptures for peace. Personal study hour is the bomb! I feel the spirit so much. I love all of you guys! Anything I can do for yall?
