Holá!! How are you?
My new companion is Elder José Alfredo Yañez Saldaña, from Arequipa, Peru. My new area in Pucallpa is Las Alamedas, the airport is in our area.  We live next to the airport on the East side, more towards the North.  The ward that we are in is the best.  We work with the members a lot and get lots of referencias (referrals).  We are working with a lot of youth and families, but especially the families.  We visited two of these yesterday, one of them the wife is a member, but the dad isn’t and they need to get married (they want to).  The other is an artist and his wife and two little boys, they are awesome!!!  The lesson was really good and real filled with the Spirit.  I love this work!!!
We blessed seven people in church on Sunday, one right after the other.  I love blessing lives with the power of God on earth, the Priesthood.  I love this gospel and the hope it brings to everyone that prays about it’s truthfulness.  I know it’s true, I know that God knows, and I can’t deny it.  I love all of the blessings it has given to me, and most of all I love my Savior and am so happy to be a part of His gospel.
Love you tons - Elder Joe
