Well, well, well this past week has been so awesome!! As crazy as
we are, I still find time to love what were doing! haha but seriously
things are going great! So im getting the hang of having to do the
paperwork, so today I have a little bit more time!! So here in the zone
tarapoto things are going great! We already have 3 baptisms for the
zone for this month! Our goal is 17 with 5 families! Think we can do
it? You bet your bottom dollar we can! Im excited!!
So
i am going to answer some questions to calm mom down! haha so first off
we have 14 elders in our zone so yes im a father again... we live above
a family of members! Our pensionista! Her name is Luzmila and she has
4 kids and they are so funny but little twerps!! haha but they have
this little boy named andre...mom lets just say when you see his pic
your gonna want to take him home! hahah So we live in this one room
apartment, but its actually nice! We only have cold cold cold water
which i actually like! The animals i here, i dont actually quite know
what they are, but today for p day were going exploring in the jungle,
and were going to go hit up some of the sweet waterfalls they have
here! But all the time i see dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, chickens,
monkeys, SPIDERS, bugs, lions and tigers and bears, girl snakes, and
all that jazz! Im hoping today i will see more! So the mission runs
the district so its like President Blunck is the president of tarapoto
and we are like his counselers. They have a branch president but every
thing has to go through us then the president of the mission. My goal
is by the time i leave here is to have them become a stake! Its gonna be
rough, but right now it just depends if the members will start to take
action! SO like i said we are working like no other! We are mainly
focused on our zone, which means we dont have too much time to work in
our area, but that still doesnt stop us, right now we have two families
that are preparing for the 17 of nov. One is a madre soltera...i dont
remember how to say that in english...a mom who is a alone and doesnt
have a husband... haha oh boy thats bad and a padre soltero a dad who
doesnt have a wife! Both have two kids! Also we have this young guy
named Diogo as well for the 17! Im excited for them!! Its going to be
an awesome month!
So i think i answered about all of them... oh yeah we drive in
these moto taxis is a motercycle with a carraige like thing on the
back! haha its actually a smart idea, I think im gonna bring it to
utah! hahah hmmm what else...oh yeah i did get the tape and it was
amazing!!!! Thank you so so much!!! Im so happy! So about the
packages... every month we go to Lima and we have a conference with
president and then we get the mail.. so if you want to send some thing
for december send it this month, because we go the first of december to
pick it up! So family like i said things are going great! The jungle
is a whole other world! Seriously so beautiful! I have only been asked
by 5 girls here to have me take them back home and marry them, and 3 of
them were under the age of 9, haha no just kidding, but really the
people are so different, but so amazing! I truly have such a love for
these people. They are my brothers and sisters, and i am so lucky to
know them. They teach us such an amazing lesson to know that it doesnt
matter how much you make, but how much faith you have in God.
Family,
I want you all to remember that hey this life isnt easy, sometimes were
on top, but as we know we can fall down. Don't look at challenges as a
burden, or dont fill your mind with thoughts of why me? But look at it
as a way to strenthen your faith in God. He is always with us no matter
what. Times may be hard, but when one door closes, Heavenly Father
opens a window, the windows of heaven, and he will pour us out a
blessing, that there wont be room enough to recieve it! Family i love
you will all my heart! Your always in my prayers, and thoughts! I thank
you for your love, and support!
All my Love,
ELDER NICOLAS COLLINS CRUMP
