Hey guys its Keato,

So another good week like always. So its only been 4 days since I last wrote but a lot has gone on. So last Thursday after the temple we went to downtown Lima with the whole zone, it was petty fun. We went to the Plaza de Armas and a museum with artifacts from Peru and paintings and a whole bunch of other cool stuff. It was a good time and it was good to get to know everyone in the zone. Then Friday we went on divisions with Elder Giocochea and Elder Udall. I went with Elder Giocochea from Chiclayo Peru and we had a good time. Then Saturday we had a baptism, it was really good and everyone had an amazing time. Then Sunday was a normal Sunday. Its awesome cause right now we re teaching a family. The parents, Edwin and Janice aren’t married, so for the past couple of weeks we’ve been teaching them about the church and about everything. A couple of weeks ago we taught them about the law of chastity. So when we went on Sunday to visit them, they informed us that they are going to get married and now they have a baptism date for 26 of Nov. I’m so excited for them. They are so awesome and need the gospel in their life. They have learned so much and just want to keep learning, they are the best. We’ve been praying so hard for them and yesterday we saw the blessings. The Lord is so powerful and we are nothing. That’s something that I’ve learned here in the mission is that after all we do we are still so weak, but the Lord is merciful and blesses us so much more than we probably deserve. We definitely saw the hand of the Lord working with Edwin and Janice. It was funny because when they told us that they wanted to get married, Elder McGhie got super excited and gave me the biggest hug right there in the middle of the lesson. Edwin and Janice thought it was hilarious. Then all the way home we were so pumped. The night finished in the room with a 10 minute celebration dance party. we were so pumped. we are also teaching this one guy named Bayron, he is 22 and really awesome. He went to the church after an invitation from Elder McGhie. We’ve been teaching him and he is super excited for his baptism the end of this month. We taught him and his friend about Joseph Smith the other day and he loved it. I have been so blessed to be here in Peru and to work with the people here. They are so wonderful and so loving. I love this work and I love Peru. I Love these people. I Love life. I love my family. I Love my friends and I love Jesus Christ. Love Yall!!!!

Well got to go. I love you guys so much. Thanks for all you do for me. I’m pretty sure I have the greatest family in the whole wide world.

Take care and have an amazing week.

Love ya

Love Keato
