I'll be serving an LDS Mission in Cuzco, Peru from December 2011 to June 2013. My purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.

Mary's 16th letter from Peru
Hey mom! you know me so well. i keep forgetting to bring my license
with me, but i will try to remember to bring it. What time should i
call for mothers day?
Life is good here in the jungle. most of my rashes and insect bites
are clearing up as i have been wearing more insect repellent so that
is good. I have become accustomed to eating and drinking ants...
normal. protein. One elder just showed me pictures of him eating
worms. there is a white, fat worm here people love. sick. Nobody
tried to shoot me and i havent met anybody from the mafia, like some
people on missions.... haha but it was a good week. we had 2 baptisms
on saturday, oscar and jhoan. they are the cousins of Jorge who got
baptized about 2 weeks ago, and all three of them received the
priesthood yesterday!!! I am overjoyed with all three of them.
yesterday in Gospel principles, jorge introduced himself and said he
was grateful to have found the true church. He always bears his
testimony and always wants to pray. This week, his mom told us that
she walked into the cuarto (almost nobody has an actual house, just
cuartos, or a room with a bathroom.) and she found him reading the
book of mormom just crying. he is 16 years old. I love the gospel
sooooo much! I have never seen people change so much, so fast than i
am seeing right now on the mission. anyway, thats all for this week.
I love you guys, like destin said hearing about the family dinner
makes me excited to eat mashed potatoes and roast with everybody! I
love you all!
