Last go in Morrope?

Hey Everyone,

first off MOST IMPORTANT address to the mission office has changed!!!

so here is the new address:

Elder Bunker
Mision Peru Chiclayo
Los Alamos #128, 
urb: Santa Victoria
Chilayo - Lambayeque 
Peru

second... how is BERT?! someone asked me the other day if our family has pets and i remembered that we have bert. I have heard a little about everyone but bert. how is he? haha.

so this week has been pretty good. we have been progressign little by little here in morrope. we have had more lessons and better numbers this week than any other but i am super tired. i think when i finish up here im going to sleep the rest of Pday.

we have an amazing investigator named jose, i have already talked about him already but he is practically already a member, he will be baptized the 16 of this month. yesterday we had a fast and testimony meeting and he gave his testimony that he knows that the church is true and that there are profets on the earth again. I was amazed he had such strong desire to share his testimony. when we visited him after he asked us if he was allowed to go out and teach with us and help us... awesome.... he is ready. haha. I have only had one other investigator like him. (Junior, my best freind from my last area)

There are people who are ready for the gospel. i know it. I just hope and pray we find them. I appreciate all of your prayers i know they help. they have kept me out of harms way, please pray as well for the people who are ready for the gospel that they can find it. 

so... this could be my last week in morrope. i hope not. i feel like i could be here my whole mission and there will stil be more to do. my companion told the familia fiestas that i might be leaving and they looked so sad... tore my heart in half. i wish he wouldnt have done that i dont know if im going to be able to leave this area. 

there are a ton of new missionaries coming soon due to the change in missionary age. they are opening new areas in our mission that missionaries have never been to. and they are doubling up missionaries in a few areas. Its so exciting to see the work growing. I feel an urgency to find people and to help them receive the restored gospel, but at the same time i know i need to be patient with my own area.

My goal for the mission is to find a family. I want to find a full family that will be able to receive the gospel and be baptized. it is awesome to find individuals but what would bring me the greatest joy is to help a family obtain Eternal Life together, because the life eternal isnt eternal life without the family,

I hope and pray that all of those who are at home who havent heard the gospel yet will get the chance to hear the message and will accept it. I have thought many times what it would be like to hold onto the name tag for an extra transfer after i get back just so i would be able to share the gospel with all those close friends of mine who dont have those blessings in their life.

I love you all

sorry so short.

Always turn outward, and keep smiling!
Elder Bunker
