Halfway Done With The Best Yet To Come.

An entire year has passed since our sweet missionary left the safety of his home in order to preach and teach about the gospel of Jesus Christ in Perú, and boy, 

what a year it has been!

On September 13, 2016 we bid adieu to Elder Scott as he embarked on his mission in Trujillo South Perú.
It was hard watching him walk away from us knowing it would be 2 years before we could get another hug, but we also had an overwhelming sense of peace wash over us as we knew the Lord would be helping him every step of the way.

First day in Trujillo

Training in Palermo and a companionship with Elder Parra

Elder Scott loved his time with his trainer, Elder Parra. He learned so much about missionary life and how to be a successful missionary those first few weeks with him. He also got to learn how to overcome homesickness, a challenging obstacle for sure, but one he was able to overcome as he lost himself in missionary service. Plus he was able to meet lifelong friends while he was in Palermo. It is a time of his life that will never be forgotten and cherished forever.

Good ol' Elder Scott....er, I mean St. Nick

Still in Palermo, and a new companionship with 

Elder Choque

Elder Choque was a great companion for Elder Scott. He taught him how to balance the demands of missionary life with good natured fun. 

Transferring to Moche and a companionship with 

Elder Moran

Elder Scott loved having Elder Moran as a companion. He worked hard and taught Elder Scott good lessons on obedience and hard work. They learned the in's and out's of Moche together since the area was new for both of them, and they learned even more about selfless service when the worst floods in history rocked the county of Perú and they were able to assist many people that needed to rebuild from scratch.

Still in Moche and a new companionship with Elder Daza

Elder Daza has a super strong spirit and desire to share the gospel, and Elder Scott loved the way he taught lessons. Elder Scott absolutely loved his time in Moche, especially the people he met there that became extended family.

Transferring to Chimbote and a companionship with 

Elder Chiza

These two were a good companionship because they each had strengths opposite of the other and were able to learn and grow from each others talents. They learned how to navigate a huge area together and worked hard finding people to teach and serve.

Still in Chimbote and a new companionship with Elder Cruz

Elder Scott was super excited for this transfer because he was getting a Greenie. Elder Cruz is new to the mission field and is an amazing person. Elder Scott says his testimony and desire to share it are on fire, and he is a great listener which is such an important quality to possess. He really loved his time with Elder Cruz.

Happy Hump Day, Elder Scott

I can't believe it has been a year already. We sent Elder Scott a photo album with a bunch of photos and letters from loved ones back home, and here are a few of the photos he will be receiving today. Thanks to everyone who continues to think about and pray for Elder Scott. Mission life can be the most rewarding, yet hardest time of a person's life, and we are so grateful for all those who support him in his efforts to better his life and the lives of countless others.
