Excerpt from Doug's Letter last week...

Hola Fam.

Still here in Peru. Today we're going on a tour through Lima. Should be pretty great. Elder Serrano took off to Bolivia and it's just been my district of Norte Americanos here for the past two days. Its weird this whole big complex and there'sonly like eleven of us..but more are coming soon.

We went tracting last Saturday and it was intense. They drove us out for about an hour to a place called Valle Sagrado and...just let us go. So Elder Serrano and I just start walking up this crazy, dusty, super poor area on the mountain stopping people and knocking doors. We each had one Book of Mormon to give away, pamphlets, and the missionaries assigned there said we could give them everyone's information we found and they'd follow up with it. So it was nuts. We were out for like..7 or 8 hours and taught 8 lessons and contacted like 20 people.

It's still pretty hard for me to understand 100% of what people are saying..mainly cause there's always noise going on or they mumble or something. But I was able to teach okay and I let Elder Serrano handle most of the real specific questions...

It sounds like Doug is adjusting to missionary life pretty well. We appreciate all your prayers for all of Heavenly Father's missionaries! If you get a few minutes to write a letter it would really mean a lot to him. Hope everyone's enjoying their summer!
