Families

Hey Everyone,

So sorry agian this is probably really short. This week has been really good. Im super excited for this transfer. I have only a little time left and i want to make the best of it and i feel like the lord is really helping me with that desire.

So my new companion is Elder Lopez from Chimbote!! he is my second peruvian companion. we knew each other back when he started the mission 15 months ago... he has changed a lot since then. Im so excited to be his companion because he is super motivated and i feel like he just rubs off his excitement on everyone including me. Haha this week has been super cool because we have gotten a lot done both in the zone and in our own area.

last week I felt a little down because my other companion went home, and honestly i didnt feel like a missionary becuase we didnt have much time to proselyte. (i honestly love proselyting! haha never realized it before but its one of my favorite things) haha. But this week has been different. We really got ot take a step back and look at everything in the zone and in the area and get everything into better focus. 

Our zone just took a huge step as far as success goes. we have a few new missionaries in the zone and they ahve been a huge help in all of the areas. we have found almost 3 times the amount of new investigators than other weeks.

This week we had a really cool experience. We placed a goal as a zone to teach the families of every investigator that is progressing, and we have been applying it in our area. I LOVE teaching familes. Its so Hard though to get them all together haha. This week we taught Brother Perez... he is a convert of 3 months and has a really cool conversion story. He was an adventist before and he began to see that there was a lot of dotrinal error in the church and so he left the church and began studying in his house. He likes buying books so he went out one day nad found a book store that was selling a few manuals of institute clases. long story shrot he was baptized.

we are now teaching many of his 8 children and 25 grandchildren, and all are very receptiful to the gospel.... I hope we can help them become an eternal family and help them get to the temple. Brother Juan, the son, had lost a child and so instead of starting with Lesson one we started with temples... its been cool

well im out of time

Always turn outward and keep smiling,
Love you all,

Elder Bunker
