I want to go ahead and post some pictures from my area in Cañete, Lima, Peru since I never did send any pictures once I was out in the field.

Home After 3 Months
So I'm not entirely sure if anyone ever reads or sees this blog anymore. But I guess this post is for anyone who ever comes across it in the future.
There is a reason I haven't posted anything on here since November, and that is because I am back at home off my mission.
I came home after my first transfer in the field in Cañete (6 weeks) on December 30th 2014. In total I was only in Peru for 3 months.
I didn't come home for health issues, physical or mental, or for worthiness issues. I came home for a couple reasons.
1. I kept feeling like I wasn't suppose to be there anymore. I was needed somewhere else for something.
2. I didn't know until I was out that the mission just wasn't for me. I thought it was before I left. I was really excited, the MTC was great, but I wasn't able to know until later that it just wasn't for me.
So, now that I have been home 2 1/2 months I'm finally getting around to writing a "final statement" post/closing remarks thing I guess.
I DO still have a very strong testimony of this gospel, the gospel of Jesus Christ. That He is our Savior. I do know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is His church here on the earth today and He is the head of it.
Although a mission wasn't for me I still think of the things and people of Peru often. And I still keep in contact with my MTC district and other Latino friends I made in the MTC.
A mission is a very worthwhile thing for people to do and I fully support all those who go.
I am currently teaching the "Institute" class for my Stake's Singles' Branch here in Montana and I am really enjoying that.
The Church is so true and I am happy and doing well being home.
