Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to send this cute picture that the Mission President sent me of Court with them.  He sounded good on Christmas but did tell us that he spoke with his Mission President because his headaches are just not going away and they feel it is best to transfer him to Lima.  He is up in the Andes Mountains where the elevation is close to 10,000 feet and they think that might have something to do with his head.  He is sad to leave his area and especially his companion who is going to be done with his mission in February, but looks forward to seeing another part of Peru.  I appreciate your prayers for him.  I am amazed and humbled to see how dedicated to his mission he is and how much faith he has put into the Lord.  Missions really do change lives!

Hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and your New Year is Bueno :)

Dana  :)

PS:  He said his new P-Day will be on Tuesdays!

Dana Sue, my sweet kind mother, how are things in the SLC?  I hope all is well and A UTAH MAN AM I!!! My companion loved his shirt and is going to be repping the U in Honduras, so the U is going to be repped world wide!! My companion says muchisimas Gracias! for the stocking and also for the money that  he received.  He is really grateful for your kindness. He is so humble and he is the best I'm going to be sad if one of us gets transferred Saturday that will be a bummer.

I have been very humbled this week about everything going on here in the mission.  I have found that God has a plan for each and every one of us and we should always do the will of the Lord.  This is a quote from my teacher in the CCM! Pray like it all depends on God, and then go and work like it all depends on you.  I have seen the hand of God in this work and I have seen miracles and how wonderful this gospel truly is.

I hope we can all take a second this Christmas and recognize what God has done for us and that Christ our Savior is the greatest gift. Remember that with our Savior we can live forever with our families and have true joy!  Don't think about what you receive, think about what you can give. Because we have been given much we too much give!

My investigators are great and we are working as hard as we can to get them to church slowly but I know one day they will understand.  We have been blessed to have found 2 new families and have appointments with 3 new families today!  Pray that they may feel the spirit of the Lord and come unto him! I love you all so much and I'm so grateful for every one of you!!

Much Love,
Elder Adams

P.S. I got another package, I don't know who from but the zone leaders said that I got one !! I think it is Lauries or Nanas but I will know tomorrow.

Reeses!!!!

This week has been crazy! My investigators do not want to go to church so that is a bit rough. I don't have much time to write so this will be a short one, sorry to say.

I have received everyone's package but Nana's.  I think Laurie and your's, I should get tomorrow. I saw them arrive while I was in Lima.  I got Whitney s (my love) this week and also I got Ashley's. I'm so happy for all of them, they have changed my life hahah!!

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the temple and do a session just me and my companion and it was glorious! My health is okay to be honest mother. Don't worry, it seems to be getting better. I don't have a calling but I do have to give talks.  For Christmas, lets do the 25th in the morning at like 10 here or 8 there. I don't know, but we can firm it up next week. I have 40 minutes to speak with my favorite people!!! My president says we have the 2 strictest missions in the world but idk mama sorry hahah!!

Love you all!

Love,
Elder Adams

How are things going in the SLC? I hope everyone is enjoying this great time of year because you know I am!!! Chilling with momitas and recieviing more presents here for my birthday than I did at home!! I got three cakes from members and one from my investigator that owns the bakery. They are freaking awesome and treat me well. The only issue is that they have no time for church, because they have to run this bakery. It is hard out here.

The other family came to church but only for an hour which doesn't count for a baptism. They like soccer more than Jesus, and I said that too. My birthday was wonderful! My companion and the people I live with are awesome and threw me a breakfast party with panchpla and papas fritas!! LO MAXIMO! Also my pension got me a tie and a ctr ring from the temple in Lima!

I am going back back to Lima this week because I'm basically here illegally lol. But this week has been great. About 15 members called and wished me a happy birthday and it was a wonderful day. I'm grateful for all the emails that I have received wishing me a happy birthday you guys are the greatest!! My companion gave me some Honduras money for my birthday but it is like a collectors item and is the coolest thing ever. It has a bunch of Mayan stuff on it idk. He is freaking sweet, he kept that all through his mission and he gave it to me!!

I hope everyone is remembering the true gift of Christmas and is helping the church in He is the Gift campaign. We have handed out 200 cards already and putting in work! I love you all so much and hope you are doing good homies!!

Love,

 Elder Adams

P.S. Mom, stop worrying about me. You raised a boi tough.

Things here are straight poppin. Me and my companion are killing it - we had 40 lessons this week and are feeling good. I don't know if you guys know this but as of 5 months ago the first presidency changed the regulations for a baptism, so they have to assist at least 3 times and have to have every lesson taught. This has made it tough to baptize here, but we got faith shorty don't even front!

Thanksgiving!!!! I hope everyone was thankful for all that they have, because this week we didn't have water and we showered with buckets of water, and my dinner consisted of honey and one piece of pan chapla cuz we had nada for money. But it was the best week we have had here so I'm feeling thankful on all sorts of levels. I was able to celebrate my birthday on Friday because my pentionista won't be here for my birthday, and i was able to murder the cake!!

This week we found 11 new investigators which is a lot, but it was a lot of work. I'm totally exhausted but loving every second. This week me and my companion straight put a Jehovah witness on blast. It was some 30 old dude that came up to us in the street and quoted a book of Mormon scripture then continued to talk about this contradiction with the bible. Then my companion (who was zone leader for 8 months before he was my companion and who has 22 months on the mission and has had these conversations before) shared 3 scriptures to which the guy was speechless then I bore my testimony gave him a folleta and we bounced! They have a rule that any Jehovah witness younger then 30 cant talk to us because they will be converted which I thought was funny. That is just one story of this week.

IT has been a little tough health wise. I don't know what is up with my dang head but it's not doing so good. Guess what!! We have investigators and guess what the homies own? A Bakery!!! Freaking crazy, am i right? The bread and bake goods they make are on a whole other level. But I'm just living it up here in Ayacucho. My companion thinks I'll be here for 6 months and when he finishes I'll be training. That is comforting seeing as I know the language so well hahah but it is all good and I'm just taking what god gives me at this point. That is the only way to live in this world! Love you all and I hope you all have the best week and see the hand of God in your lives!!


Love,
Elder Adams

PS: I got bit by a dog, a big dog. It ripped my pants but it didn't go through my garments and it didn't leave any mark on my body, miracle after miracle here!! The dog ran away whimpering like it got hurt, Protection from the big guy upstairs.

Family Home evening with the family that we live with. The dad isn't a member so we are trying all we can to get him baptized and them to the temple.

Killing it this week in Ayacucho! We had 2 rescues this week and we had 21 lessons with less actives so in that aspect it is going good. We also found a family of 5 that we contacted on the street and they now have a baptismal date for the 27 of Dec!!! And guess what, he put a ring on it so they are married and happy and are beautiful and I want to go to the temple with them. They have three kids an 8 year old boy, an 11 year old girl and a 16 year old girl and they are amazing. Everything I do they say is beautiful hahaha. Especially the 11 year old. I was telling her about Utah and everything I said she was like that is beautiful and when I speak she says you speak so beautifully hahahaha. She is great. The lord has prepared them and I'm praying with all my heart that they can come unto this great gospel.

This week has been good and we have been chilling doing big things here. I'm glad to see that Caleb got home safe and is looking good! Also glad to see Kade with his hot date, seems like he is doin it big there at Murray. I'm just enjoying this great ride at this point, it is not easy and some days it sucks really bad but Christ gives me strength everyday to do this great work. This week was crazy weather, rain storms that I have never experienced before! Also lightning struck the chapel while I was in it so that was cool. And I participated in my first earthquake this week. It wasn't big or anything but some houses got a little wounded cuz they aren't built strong here at all. I'm seeing parties on the streets everyday and the plaza de Armas flooded up to your mid calf. Crazy, right.

Also I want to give a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to STACIE!! I hope you have a wonderful week and the weather is good enough to play tennis! I'm loving it here in Peru the people are crazy and so nice and helping realize a lot of things! The language is good and my companion is great! He will be my companion no worries!! I love you all and I hope you have the best week!!

Did you not get my email last week? I sent you a long email from the mission office because I had to go to Lima for Visa stuff and we were there for 3 days, which really messed up my our work.

This week has been a tough one with investigators. Peruvians work so hard and never have time so they never come to church and if you don't go to church at least 3 times then you can't get baptized. It has been rough. Also it has been rough because we have two families that are so great and actually go to church, it takes 30 days for them to get married so that kinda sucks. It looks like we wont have a baptism until next month but it will be two families. My mission president preaches "only teach families" not literally but kind of, we only have one investigator that isn't in a family.

This week has been good other than that. I got a cheeseburger and a shake in Lima. It was tigghhht! Ohhhh I'm writing today because we had transfers this week which means I already have been here 6 weeks, crazy! But me and my companion are still together and he is freaking awesome. Half our zone is gone which makes me sad. I had so many homies! 2 sisters finished their mission so if you ever see a sister Jameson around talk to her, hahaha.

The package thing really does work my gorgeous mother and friends. And I got a lot of letters this week: 1 from Dana and 2 dear elders from Dana, 2 letters from Whitney and a dear elder from Whitney (chu the best gurl). I got another gorgeous letter from my dear aunt Lala and Mer! And I think that is it.

Mom, I want pictures of the snow and the mountains and some of my beautiful long hair. Also the 120 dollars was a suit I bought, but you can't be mad cuz I  looks good in it! I want more PICSSSSS!

Love you all so much and I'm just soaking the whole experience in right now! It is Crazyyyyyy. The language is good. Hopefully by the time we talk in Christmas i'll be fluent. Pray for that!!

Elder Adams

P.S. Your letters are the best, Mama!

Service Project

This is what I climb everyday in the mother lovin mountains of Ayacucho. But a homies legs are strong. Also I should tell you I have lost about 6 pounds but don't worry they feed me good. And I work out a lot like I do a lot of push ups and a lot of sit ups. My companion says you don't exercise you don't baptize!! 

This kid is the best and his family has a baptismal date!!

My Trip to Lima!!  I saw friends!!

11/3/2014

This week was absolutely nuts! I don't think any of you could even understand. To start I want to say sorry to those that I can't email back but I don't have much time. Now lets start with Halloween, Halloween is not too big here but for the Mormons it is. In our church there was a massive dance party. They played all types of American music, like Kid Cudi and Kanye West and all other kinds. It was really nice to listen to it actually! But I repented so I'm good now haha.

On Halloween and the last couple days the rain and storms here have been out of this freaking world. Lightning, hail, I mean big hail. It is awesome to experience and also a lot of roads turning to rivers (head and the Heart) for my peeps who know LOL. But Saturday started the festivities for the day of the dead and lets just say Peruvians get crazy. Ayacucho is known for drinking the most alcohol here in Peru (haha) so people were drunk lighting off fireworks and just partying all night long. They also have this bread here that is only in Ayacucho and is only for these two days it is Pan Wawa. It is seriously the best thing I have tasted. They also have pan chapla, which is only here also, but that stuff is year round and of the Gods. Dana, you know how much I love my bread. Then Sunday I have never before seen so many people in a cemetery. It broke my heart because they were all so sad and I just wanted to share the plan of salvation with them.

But this week with our investigators was a little rough. Only one person came to church and she is definitely the strongest of them.We got another girl to committed to baptism, her name is Magceli, She is only 14, and me and my companion try to focus on families. Speaking of families the women here don't care where they are at or what they are doing they will whip their boob out at all times to feed there children. It has happened like ten times in lessons and it is hard to keep a straight face.

Peru is awesome and I have had so many great experiences, especially with this language. It is coming along really well and I'm learning every single day! This work is amazing, I have learned so much about the gospel and so much about myself and I'm just loving it here. Ayacucho is my home away from home. There are mountains, the weather is basically the same and guess what I saw? I saw snow in the mountains afar and it warmed my heart like you will never believe.

This work is really hard but every single second has been worth it. When you see that first person you teach really feel the spirit and know for a fact that this church is true and that they can live with their family forever. I hope everyone prays every night in gratitude for the knowledge we have and all that we have. That's all for this week folks!!!

For Halloween
Who are you supposed to be? the new kid on the block?

For Christmas
You GO GLEN COCO!!

PS: Me and my comp listen to christmas music every single day and it is the greatest thing that has happened to the world.

Hey Momma and Dad,

Mail wise, I have received nothing, but mail comes tomorrow so cross your fingers.

This week has flown by. To be honest spanish still sucks lol, but I'm speaking a lot more in the lessons and  I'm contacting like a beast. The food here has been great and I have had no issues with it at all, other than the fish that was sketchyyyy! I'm loving it, my companion is a G.

It was Edgar's birthday this week a less active and his parents have baptismal dates with us for the 29th of November so that was dope. Pictures are hard to send because it takes forever to load. This last week we went to Huanta and it was way sweet the view was unreal and crazy cool. I'm just pushing along here, gathering up all those people who believe in la apostasia and trying to bring them to the truth.

This week it rained. This is the only area that it rains in my mission. The streets were rivers, massive rivers, and my shoes are soaked constantly, but it is so awesome to see. The people here are marvelous and they are truly changing my life. I have never met so many humble, hard working, and caring individuals in my life. This week is the day of the dead/ halloween so I'll keep you posted on how crazy the parties are.

One crazy story this week: I obtained a jehovah witness bible from a family and also they had a gathering in the park. Me and my companion went and taught a bunch of people listening to the jehovah witnesses homie. It was an awesome experience. Life out here is a little hard but I'm making the best of it everyday just like my parents taught me.

I hope the family is doing well and that everyone is killling it. Im happy to hear about kade and his success and the football squad. I've been so blessed to be able to serve here. Know I'm praying for you guys always.

Spiritual experience: I've been a bit sick this week and I didn't know how I was going to be able to go out and teach. But I prayed for strength popped some excedrin and went out and the first family I saw on the street I went to and shared a little message and now we have an appointment with them today. And ever since that point I didn't feel sick at all and I could feel God liftin me up just enough so I could get through it. Read D&C 84:88! I love you all so much

Elder Adams

Note from Dana: I was able to chat with Court for minute and I asked him if he is even able to communicate with his companion since he does not speak any English and this was his reply:

"My companion does not speak english! and that language (Quechua) is freaking impossible. I know how to say "how are you" and how to say "I dont speak quecheu" hahaha."

He also said:

"No, me and him still have convos it is just a little harder, thats all. And I have gringos in my zone. Guess what they call me here. Gringonito.. or the beautiful white boy.  lolololol."

10/20/2014

Peru is freaking awesome and so is Ayacucho! This week we put in a lot of work here. We are both new to the area and so it was hard to teach people the first week but this week we got it rolling. There are so many girls here so it is hard to teach because you have to have a member. We have had 7 people commit to baptism and we have 4 weddings planned!! You can call me the wedding planner!!

We are killing it and the people are so humble. My companion is a straight genius when it comes to the gospel. We also have the most hills in our area compared with the rest of the mission so you best believe that my calves and thighs are straight bumping always. The parties here never stop and I absolutely love it. Parties around the clock. The music is sweet too. The language is still rough but I'm learning more and more everyday. I email from these sketchy internet cafes lol. And I haven't recieved any mail but hopefully I will get it tomorrow that is when we get mail. I got all the pictures that you emailed. And I'm in Peru chilling in the Andes teaching this great gospel. How could I not be happy!! I'm loving every second. The people here are crazy and I haven't see one peruvian that is above 5,9. One of our investigators goes to my ribs, it is crazy.

But the mission is great, we just work, work, work and I'm getting a little better at contacting and teaching, but it is still a little rough. One thing here is that they are all catolica and it is rough. Mom and Dad, "Our house in the middle of the street" (the song) is playing right now and I'm loving it hahaha. Everything is awesome here.

Today we are going to the big white Jesus so I'm stoked for that. I can't send pics this week cuz this computer sucks. But I hope everyone is doing well and Happy birthday to Scott, John and my homie Kade. I hope you all have the best of days. I don't know how to send mail so I'll try to figure that out. But I love you all, I hope you have a week of wonders.

Spiritual thought. This week we taught Vladimir and Anete! We were teaching and I was talking about Jose Smith and I knew I was saying everything wrong but I asked if they understood and they said yes and the spirit was unreal. It is so amazing how the Holy Ghost can speak to all no matter the language. I love you Dana and Mike and I wanted to say thanks for raising me in this gospel. Alma 56:12 is a good read for me! You are the best mom and dad!!

Love, Elder Adams

P.S. I asked him what I could send him and this was his reply:
"Reese's!!!!!! and more Reese's...but do not send medicine or else we wont get it"

10/13/2014

MOMMMMMM!!! It is so freaking crazy here! Mondays are my p days so hit me up on Mondays!

Ayacucho is absolutely nuts! It breaks my heart to see people living this way. They honestly have nothing, they live in the dirt! But the thing that amazes me is that they are always happy and never are sad, they always are partying and having a good time. They are so humble and so kind, only one person we have contacted on the street has declined to be taught.

Guess what!!!! We already got a woman to commit to baptism. Her name is Mery. We also have been teaching a bunch of other people but Deana and Cesar are the next closest, faith wise. It is so amazing but it is so hard. I can barely understand anything and I can hardly speak so I get frustrated at times but it is all about patience.

The place we are staying in is nicer than our rooms in the CCM! It is so gorgeous here, the mountains and the stars are out of this world. I can see galaxies, that's how unreal they are. Mom, I just want to tell you it is a little dangerous. This area is known for distributing a lot of cocaine but I'm safe, I got God on my side.

The members and the bishop are so great, they are amazing. Our pensionista or our cook and her family are the best. She makes the best food ever. Peruvian food is my life. Hermano Miguel is her husband and he is a boss and helps us so much. We also have someone to do our laundry which is awesome, am I right. It is difficult sometimes to talk because some people only speak Quechua which sucks because neither of us can but we do have book of Mormons in Quechua, I took a pic of one.

Now let me tell you about the public transportation: it smells, it is small, and it kind of sucks a lot. But all good here in the hood. When I'm on the bus no lie I have to tilt my head and my ear still hits the top of the bus. But I am loving it here in Peru. The people are awesome, the food is awesome and Spanish is hard, haha. I also ate cuy, or as we would say guinnea pig! It was actually pretty delicious. I am also in love with the music.They are playing 99 red balloons as I'm writing this.

But I am so grateful for this gospel and everything it has done for me. In Luke 14:12 it talks about being called to serve the poor and the broken hearted and it could not be more true for me, they have so many hardships, and it is hard to see. I ask all of you to be grateful for what you have because we have been given so much and we are so blessed to know this great truth and we are so blessed to have a family so close. I love you all with all my heart and I wish you the best this next week. PRAY FOR MY SPANISH!!!

10/8/2014

I made it to Peru and I'm going to be honest, it is ridiculous here. It is awesome other than the travel to get here and not being able to speak Spanish, haha. My companion is awesome but I don't understand him most of the time. He is from Honduras and he is 26 years old and is a boss. He only has 6 months left on his mission. 

But let me tell you about my travel. We had the 6 hour plane ride and then a 1 hour bus ride to the hotel where we slept for like 4 hours. Then we had a meeting and a time when they figure out who is going to train us and where we are going. You will never guess where I'm at right now, it is so crazy, but anyways I'm in Ayacucho which is in the Andes mountains!! I'm just chillin up here, crazy. And they speak Quechua or however you say it so I'm juggling 3 languages right now. It is so hard though, it is freaking crazy. I don't understand anyone and I had to take a 12 hour bus ride just to get here so I slept on a bus all night last night, and it kind of sucked, but I'm doing good and God is with me and I'm just pressing forward in faith. This is just a quick email. I love you all so much and wish you the best. 

Love, 

Elder Adams

Just an update to let you know that Courtland is in the air on his way to Peru.  He did email me a few lines this morning letting us know how excited and nervous he is.  He is mostly worried about his Spanish.  He should land around 8:45 tonight (a 6 hour flight).  I am not sure when we will get an actual email from him again.  Thanks for your prayers and support!

Dana :)

10/1/2014

I went to the temple today and it was so freaking awesome. I loved every second of it!! I got some cool ties. I was going to buy you stuff but I decided that it would be cooler from Peru. 

And Guess Whatttt!!!!! I got my flight plans to Peru!!! I leave Monday at 3 in the afternoon. It is so crazy that it is already here. It is a 6 hour flight, but I'm sure I will email Monday right before i go! Im so excited to get out of this place and change the lives of those in Peru. 

While driving to the temple I saw so much of Mexico City and it broke my heart to see how little they have and how I take so many things for granted. I can only imagine what Peru is going to look like! Im also so excited for General Conference it should be good and a really cool experience to be with so many other missionaries at the same time. 

Weeks have just flown past here at the CCM and me and my companion are for sure the strongest we do everything together, we get along really well. But I've made so many new friends and I have gotten to know some of the greatest people! 

This week was filled with sand volleyball and soccer! I played soccer with some Peruvians who were so good and helped me with all the different words they use in Peru (which is a lot of them). He was one of the coolest kids I have met! Also I have forgotten to tell you this mother but my p day shoes ripped the second week, but they are ducked tape and holding in there strong. 

We have had a hard time focusing because we all got our flight plans but we here in 11 c are killing it! Hermana Kaaa taught me everything Hawaiian from hula dancing, to skanking, and we always sing some reggae songs!! She is awesome. I have some sweet pics! 

For a spiritual thought I just want to tell everyone to be happy all the time and be filled with love. I know that times get rough but through faith and support you can get through anything!! Tengo Gozo En mi alma todos los dias!! I love you all so much and all of your letters!! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!! 

Love, 

Elder Adams

Excited to go to Peru!

9/24/2014

Dana, My lovely Dana!!! Of course I write Theo. What kind of question is that? And I receive so many wonderful Dear Elders from Natalie so make sure she knows I appreciate it!

Spanish is coming along. I'm probably 3 best in my district so it is pretty good. It is crazy how much you can learn just from talking to Latinos. I found some going to Theo's mission and I gave them my name. I hope they remember! My compenaro is the freaking best!!! We have a bromance so our district tells us to stop flirting all the time - it is the best! But I get along with everyone really well. You didn't think that would happen now, did you Dana!

This week just flew by! Hermana Hansen left yesterday, we took a pic so I'll send it. Here in Mexico it rains every afternoon! It is so awesome. There was a massive puddle out on the grass. I'm talking about a pond, that's how big it was. Me and Elder Webb and my companion and Elder Wilburn went and slid in it. After we changed of course, haha. Also my teachers are so sick got to make sure you know that, they are the best. I lucked out. But when it rains it floods the streets it gets pretty crazy and psycho but its really cool to experience.

This week was the week me and my district decided to make spirit animals for everyone and also the cute little Hawaiian sister gave all of us cool Hawaiian names. Mine is Maleko!! Straight swag, am I right! Also there was a fire on one of the hills while it was raining. It was pretty intense! Guess what i saw? A DOUBLE RAINBOW!!!!!!! And the sunset that night was off the charts. Dana, you don't even understand! Other than that it was a pretty normal week. Food is still Mexican and my homies are still homies. I'm just enjoying every last second of it because before you know it it is gone!!

And guess what i got!!!!! Laurie,  I received one of your letters and I absolutely LOVED ITTT! You're the cutest ever. I loved all the pics and amazing quotes. I especially liked the picture of me at Arbys, haha. I also got a letter from my lovely family (Dana). It was so sweet. I'm so glad to hear about Murray and their success. Kade, man you be going out there doin yo thang dogg! You a straight man child son put in work!!! Hope Keaton is doing good. Ashley, I checked out my blog and you're keeping it fancy baby gurl! I hope the baby and Scott are killin it!

Spiritual experience at the CCM it is such a cool environment, but there was one scripture that struck my heart pretty good Alma 26:12:

´´ Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.¨

I'm trying to do my best out here but I know through everything I do, as hard as I work, I am nothing without God. I've realized how real the gift of tongues is and how God continues to bless me in everything and this mission is the best thing ever. I was teaching in TRC and I couldn't understand this girl but we told her to pray with faith and that god is always there for you and he will bless you and take burdens from your shoulders. She wrote an evaluation, but this was a real girl and she said that is exactly what she need to hear. It is amazing how even though we don't speak the language well there is always a universal language and that is the Holy Ghost!!! I love you all so much and I pray for you all hourly!!! Wish you all the best this week!!

Love,

Elder Adams
