Dear family and friends 
well this week has been yet another successful week here in San Vicente de cañete.  I really love my area and am having an absolute blast right now.  Well its a lot of hard work but im loving every second of it even the hard parts.  I can honestly say that we are seeing miracles happen here almost every day.  I am so amazed at the trust the Lord has put into our hands at this time.
Every week we are finding somebody new who is prepared to recieve the gospel.  Every week we are having more and more success.  Right now we have 10 investigators that have baptismal dates and i can honestly say that each and every one of them was prepared for us and that we have been guided to each and every one of them.  Im am truly amazed.  There are trials and its not easy but when there is success its awsome.  We have investigators that are truly having amazing spiritual experiences and recieving answeres to their prayers.  Its really awome!  I really
dont know what else to say i got a package this week! thanks a ton you have know idea how much i needed new insoles.  My shoes are in more or less good shape but the insides were just torn apart.  And know i feel like im walking on clouds with my new Dr. Scholls haha.  The Zone leader things are keeping us super busy there is zero minutes of extra time durring the day.  Sometimes i wish the days were longer so we could teach more people.  The weather here is really cooling down. Its now going into winter and im starting to be really cold.  Theres no such thing as heater or AC hear so we just live with what the weather is like.  Right now im sleeping with a blanket and sweats a sweatshirt and a hat at night to keep warm.  Its working pretty well. Its not exactly a washington winter but its pretty cold.  Theres always a cloud layer over the town but it never ever rains.  Every once in a while early in the morning it will be like midsty but it does not rain here.  Ever.  Its nice compared to the hot summer that we had before but its a little too cold i would say.  anyways other than that things are great here.  My area is huge and there area great investigators in every part of my area.  We spend a lot of time traveling to get to little neighborhoods that are in the middle of nowhere.  Something different about peru is that nobody lives alone nobody just builds their house alone like we do in the states. everybody has neighbors.  They form groups of people called pueblos that live together.  and so we have to travel far to get to some of the publos here to visit.  But its okay i really like my area i hope i never leave.  Thats all Ive got for this week hope everything is well in the states.  Hope everyone is having a good summer.

Love
TJ
