Hi momma! It was so good to see all of you also! It was fun to talk to them (Ryan and Barry) in Spanish. I probably have a big gringo accent but that is okay. It was so good to see you! How are you doing?
It was a normal week here. Pretty slow actually. Nothing really exciting happened. (Except of course talking to the Family)  I am sorry I don't have any new pictures..... I promise I will send a couple the next time.
 I love you! Thank you for all that you have done for me! I love you!!!!!!! Talk to you next week!




This week's lesson...Another short email but we sure loved the face to face visit!!

Hello mama!!!!!! How are you doing! I am doing really good!  I am doing really good and enjoying it here in the mission!
 



Thank you so much for the video! That was really awesome! (:
 
I have no idea when I am going to call. Probably within a couple of hours.(: I am so glad that everyone is doing so well! How are you doing!? 
But I am so thankful for Jesus Christ. Helaman 14:2.
 
And behold, he said unto them: Behold, I give unto you a sign; for five years more cometh, and behold, then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.
 
I am so thankful for Jesus Christ.
We had a good week. Pretty slow. We are teaching a few less actives. We did not have a lot of lessons this week. But that is okay. It was a week when every lesson fell through. We are trying to build a foundation in the ward that we are in for the work of salvation. There are a ton of amazing people here. But there are some changes in how the things work here. haha but I love it here. We are walking a ton! We are in Lima. Lima is huge. I never thought there could be so many houses in the mountains. And These are steep mountains too. haha I will send a picture next week. I am walking mountains every day. It is really tiring. But awesome (: 
 
I got to go. Tell everyone I love them!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!! Love you mama


 

This week's lesson...Merry Christmas, one and all!!
 
Mitchy's Birthday Cake...mmmmmm...

So I haven't gotten the package yet haha, Well the day I got transferred it was in Chincha haha  But I am glad that you are enjoying the snow! I miss the snow haha but that is okay (:  Right now I am training an elder until the end of this week. The area is pretty slow but we are going to start something that is called the work of salvation. It is going to be awesome. We are going to be working hand in hand with the members. Everyday I am memorizing one scripture about the atonement and whatever scripture that I like. I am going to try to do it for one year! haha I am really happy right now (:
My new companion is elder Savino. He speaks Spanish. He is from Japan, Brazil, and his mom lives here in Peru. There are a lot of Peruvian missionaries that serve here.
I am just about to send pictures (: I just have to wait for them to download. One of them is a Homeless man photo bombing our picture hahahaha

Hey momma! Everything here is going good. No this Monday is not transfers. We don't have transfers until the 16th of December. Wow, Nine months already. Time is moving by way to fast. I wouldn't give up this time of my life for anything. I have come to know my savior Jesus Christ so much better. He is our savior and redeemer and loves alllllllll of us (: I am glad that you have had a good week.
Well we had a conference here and a ton of people came. So now we have the apostles watching over us. Kind of scary haha but I am doing really good. We had a baptism this past week. His name is Marco, and he wants to go on a mission.                                He is awesome!
 

Ya, the weather is starting to get hot. haha I have a cold right now because of the change of climate. Sometimes it is hot, sometimes chilly. But I am doing good.
 I am really happy that you all had a good thanksgiving! It didn't even cross my mind to be honest haha. Wow, it is already December. Time is flying by. I am starting to see Christmas lights here which is awesome! haha (:
 
I am sorry to hear about Uncle Thom. I will definitely pray for him. Send him my love!
Send the Richins my love and I got to go.
Oh ya, Last Monday we felt a little earthquake! It was fun (: I love you momma. Thank you for everything. I will talk to you in one week. Thank you for everything. I love you!

Hey momma!!!!! How are you doing!? I am doing really good. My Halloween box is in Lima right now so the next Monday I am going to receive that box (: I am pretty excited about that (: but that is awesome that Jourdan is coming home. Feels like yesterday that he left to be honest!
 
Elder Harman returns with honor on Thanksgiving Day ... Welcome Home Jourdan...
 
How are my Utes doing? haha but What else have you been up to?
This week we are going to have 2 baptisms. One of them might wait until January to be baptized because he wants his family from Lima to attend. Those are the only baptisms set for this week. But this past week all I studied was the atonement and right now all I am studying is the life of Jesus Christ. I am very grateful for him. He loves every single one of us. I am so grateful to have the privilege to be his servant. Tell brother Green that he is the man (: He is a good guy. And thank you to the ward members who ask about me.   I am so grateful to be here on the mission. I am so thankful for the atonement. Oh and I got to meet elder Rasband, President of the seventy. That was awesome! Yesterday Elder Rasband came and spoke at our church. that was awesome and amazing. He talked about the a gospel culture that we need. it is prayer, studying the scriptures, caring for one another, family self reliance, and find myself standing in holy places (home, church, and temple.) and how we need to do all of these things in the family. It was amazing.
 
Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to Grandma and Grandpa Dial...

Hey momma! Ya I haven´t gotten the package yet haha. but how are thing going for you?



This past week we had the first president of the quorum of the 70 and Elder Nielson here in our mission. It is crazy haha This next week we are asked to have 7 investigators in Sacrament meeting and 10 less actives. We are going to be busy this week. Yesterday I got to speak in sacrament for the first time and I talked about the conversion about Alma the Younger from Alma 36. And related that to missionary work. I am doing pretty good. I am glad that all of the missionaries there are safe in the Philippines.

Well, I love you and thank you for all of your love and your support in my life. You are amazing and know that you are always in my prayers. Thank you for everything.! 

Elder Mitchy Dial Love you (:
 
this week's lesson...It's hard to speak in Sacrament unless you are doing pretty well in the language!!!  Heavenly Father Blesses His Missionaries!!

Hey momma! How are you doing??? I hope that all is well! Things here in Peru are pretty awesome. I am learning more and more to trust and to rely on the Lord. Well this past week was a really good week. We found a lot of new investigators and I know that this church is true with all of my heart. We have 9 people with a baptismal date and want to become closer to there Heavenly Father. They are awesome. When I teach I am not sure if people know what I am saying haha but I know that they are feeling the spirit. I am thankful for everything that my Heavenly Father has given me. But know that I love you!
 
 
 
This week's lesson...They won't always remember what you say but they will remember how you help them feel...

Hey momma!!!!! How are you doing? I am doing great. We were so blessed this past week. They celebrated Halloween a little bit. Not like in the states. I am guessing you were a cat from the picture hahaha
 This past week I received my new companion and his name is Elder Perez. He is from Trujillo and He has been out for a year this month. He is awesome! So spiritual. Wow, Right now I am just really thankful. All I studied this past week was the atonement. I am so excited that I get to learn the scriptures and lose myself in the work.
No I have not received my package. Hopefully it arrives haha
This past week was really spiritual with elder perez. He is a very humble elder. But this past week we put 5 more people with a baptismal date.
 First is Rosario. She is finally realizing the role of the atonement in her life and how Jesus Christ works within us. And her daughter is 8. She is awesome. Another is Magali. She is awesome. She has a testimony of everything that we are teaching her. The other is Ramiro. The only problem with him is going to Church. And the other is Manuel. He is having troubles and we are struggling to find him. He is awesome though. The other is Marcos. He is absolutely awesome haha The other is Cezar. He is awesome also. But he lives with his girlfriend. So we are going to work on that. They are all awesome. I am so grateful to be here! 
The Spanish is coming slowly and steadily. Haha Well momma. I gotta go. I love you so much and I will talk to you in a week!!!!!! I love you!!!!! (:

Hey Momma! I am doing good!!!!! I have a new companion and his name is Elder Jovel. He is a good guy. My shoes are doing good. I have one more tooth paste left. So I probably need toothepaste within the next four months. I could probably do a little bit better with the vitamins haha That is a fun story!
This past week we had a baptism and I got to baptize Daniel. He is an awesome guy. I am so grateful to be here on the mission.
Thank you!  I love you! (: enjoy the photos.

Hey ! This week was a good week! We had a baptism and her name is Solanch. She is awesome.
 
 
 
 

 
And hopefully this week we have another baptism that is her friend Sebastian. They are awesome. Sebastian wants to serve a mission and is progressing a ton. One thing that I have learned on my mission is about the atonement. He Loves us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This week my companion leaves for surgery and I get a new companion. My new companion is the Zone Leader. He is from Salvador.  We will only be companions for like a week. We have cambios this week. I am going to miss Elder Bernal. He is a great teacher. I learned a lot from him. I am a little nervous to lead the area but I have to start sometime haha and that is when I will progress the most. 
 
Funny story, haha Yesterday we were at a members house and there was a jolt of an earthquake and I took off outside behind the women and the men stayed inside and laughed at me hahaha pretty funny!
 
I love you! I have to go, I love you and thank you for everything. I will write you in a week! (:
Love you!

 Hello everyone!  This past week was a good week!  We have two people getting baptized. My companion might need surgery so I might get a new companion this week. we don't know yet. We had exchanges with the zone leaders and I went with elder Johnson. He is a good guy. We have a lot in common. I want you all to know that I know this Church is true and that everything here in Peru is going good! Thank you for all of your love and prayers. Remember Heavenly Father always is listening to you!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Love you!

Hey how are you doing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am doing really good. Conference was amazing!

(The choir from the priesthood session was from Murray, Utah.)
Ya that was awesome!!!!!!!!! I saw ben and rand!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was really cool (: 
Which talks were your favorite? I don't have one because they were all amazing.

This past week we didn't really do any proselyting because my companion and I were in Lima because of his health. But this week I have really felt the atonement in my Life. I love Jesus Christ and know that he lives. Thank you for all of your love and support.

This past week I have been writing down things I am thankful for in missionary work. I love being a missionary. I would not be the person I am right now without it. Being a missionary is awesome.

 The people here in Peru, Lets just say that it is really humbling. Some houses are made out of metal, others of bricks, others of mud, and others just made out of branches and trees. We eat a ton of chicken and rice haha but there is something called carapulcra and it is awesome. haha but It destroys my insides. hahaha but there is no carpet. haha I kinda miss carpet and grass. But that is okay haha I think that we are going to go to Lima again this week because my companion is sick. The people here are really humble. 

There wasnt any damage here in Chincha because of the earthquake. But it was a fun experience. I love the pictures!!!!! The sun here is really strong. haha Not really really warm but the sun is really strong haha  This past week we hardly did anything other than going to Lima. But I want you all to know that I love you and am grateful for you all. President Thomas S. Monson is a Prophet called of God.
My time is up. And know that I love you and I am doing better and better. Love you mom (: You truly are amazing!

Send the family my love. (:
