HEY FAMILY!! :)

Hey family it is so great to see all of you and that everyone is alive and kicking, it is great to get all of your picutres and the first thing I noticed was all the I phones and I pads haha how sweet.  But you all look great and sister congrats on the healthy baby and hope that all continues to go well, and kod that is awesome that Payton knows how to speak in spanish, I will teach her more when I get home.   I was thinking about that this week and how much spanish I have learned on my mission, it is crazy but still alot to learn. haha  Mom and Dad hope that you guys have a wonderful aniversary.  And I have forgotten to tell you about Sister Hernandez, just tell her to get off when she can and we will go see her that day.  haha but about the cloths, you can bring a variety of all because here in lima it is humid and hot and in cusco it gets cold at night.  So just bring a variety of everything you have just to be sure.  Dont worry to much, if you have to buy a jacket or pants or anything we can buy it here because in lima it has some nice malls, you wont be out in the middle of no where here.  And for me I am going to need some jeans for the trip because I only have that one pair that you sent me and they are super tight on me haha so if you want I can just go to the mall and buy me some jeans one p day if you want you can just put some money on my card and I can go buy all that I need for the trip.  Is that okay with you* sorry the question mark doesnt work. haha  and I dont need anything I am actually getting rid of stuff right now because I have so much stuff.  So just save the money and we will use it when you get here to Perú, you surprised me today when you told me that I only have 36 days left, that just blows my mind.  I have so much left to do in my sector these 36 days, this week we have 2 baptisms, Miguel and Janeth and I am so excited because we found Miguel knocking doors and I love finding people that way becasue I feel so good that my efforts really pay off.  So the new change started on tuesday and the zone leaders gave me two elders that need a lot of help and we have made goals so they work hard and they really did a good job this week so we will see if I can keep helping them, ending my mission with a challenge as a leader and I learn something new everyday in the mission on how to work with people, and how to be a better leader, just with a lot of patience because if you just focus and everything that they do bad and never tell them what they do good, they will not be excited to keep doing a good job for me.  so I have learned a lot on the mission.  And there are a lot more people here to baptize so we are working hard, talking to everyone in the street in the blistering heat.  It has been super hot this week.  That is awesome that Dad gets to talk in church with Cheryl and Frank, he is going to do a great job.  Tell them that the mission is the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life but I have grown my testimony everyday.  Because there are a lot of other churches and everyone down here in Perú just tell us that God loves all of us and that all of the churches are from God and so that is how Satan has confused the people down here so they don´t listen to us, they think that any church will take them back to His presence, which is super sad...  But you will do a great job Dad.  If you want to know how the mission is read Alma 26:27 to 31.  I feel super happy with my work that I have done here in Perú I feel like I have given a diligent effort and I have been super blessed, and have had an amazing mission.  I will never forget my mission.  Well miss all of you, cant wait to see you all and I will be working hard this week to have these two baptisms.  love elder jesse stauffer.
