ELDER CANYON ATWOOD

 That picture is of me and Elder Moreyra last night.  We just got a no show appointment and a member saw us and asked us if we could join him for dinner. We had only 30 minutes left for the day with no appointments and we hadn't eaten so we decided to join him. His name is Brother Sanchez. Well, what I'm holding in my hand is chicken feet!! Yep, that's right chicken feet!! It's actually pretty good but doesn't have alot of meat so it's not very filling.

This is Fernando and his daughter Valeria. She is the cuteist little girl in the entire world. 

This is me and my Friend Elder Huaroc. This is me eating the first burger that I  have had my entire mission! This is actually not in our mission area but in Lima Central Mission. We went there on P day to Chilles, it felt so good to eat american food again

Ok everyone whats up?  Here in Peru its been a good week. Francois was baptized on Saturday and Sunday received the gift of the Holy Ghost as well as the Aaronic Preisthood. I was able to take part in both blessings but our ward mission leader Brother Miguel was able to baptize him since they have become really good friends. It was a beautiful ordinance with a lot of members that attended. I really felt the spirit when he shared his testimony afterwards, I was about to cry. He is truly the perfect investigator. Also, this week at the gym a man named Joseph approached me asking if I was a missionary and if I could share my message with him sometime. I said ok.  We shared a message with him in English because he is studying it in school. This is the second person here that speaks English.   We asked him to read 3 Nephi 11 and 12 . The next day he approached me at the gym and told me he had read and when he prayed he felt something in his heart. He described it as peace and tranqulity. I explained to him that it was the Holy Ghost and then I  committed him to baptism there which was kinda cool. Anyway, so this is the experience that I was going to check if i could share. HERE IT IS:::: So me and my comp were just blown off as usual and were walking by the church. We saw this home of a less active family that we have never visited so we decided to knock . They said come in and they had some nonmember friends at there house and we asked if we could share a message. They asked what about  and I said about Jesus Christ.  I asked them if they believed in Christ? Then she just went off crying. Apparently that day she was going to kill someone and went to her friends house to find someone to talk about it with. Well long story short the guy that she wanted to kill was her stalker who used to be her ex boyfriend who gave her an STD and because of that she had to get her Ovaries removed . Welll we basically started talking about how God loves her and knows what she is going through. WE CAME RIGHT ON TIME!! WOW that was a scary experience!
