We've Never Seen An American Before!

We were walking down the street with some elders. One of them is American too. As we were walking there were a bunch of high-school boys and they said,"I've never seen an American before! Can we take a picture?!?!" so the other elder from Utah and I took some pictures with some Peruvians. They were so excited. If you see a picture on Facebook of me with some high school boys let me know lol. The people are so interested in Americans. We had FHE with a family and they turned on some music so that I would sing for them. They played jingle bells and they were all singing. I joined in and then they all got quiet because they wanted to hear how i pronounce the words. It was so funny and awkward. 


I am slowly understanding a little more Spanish and am able to have small conversations with people. I just guess what they're asking and hopefully I say the right thing. But the people here are so patient and nice. 


We are teaching this 11 year old girl right now. Her brother is a member and her dad is an inactive member. She's usually busy and doesn't have time for lessons but this week we were able to teach her three times. She wants to get baptized but her parents thinks everything is happening to fast so pray for Rosario and her family pleasee! It's amazing to see all the little miracles that happen everyday. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are aware of us. They are blessing us everyday. Try to look for the miracles or blessings in your life today. 


Love you all!!!

I Got My Visa!

Okayyyy so guess what?! I got my visa! There were only 2 missionaries out of all 30-40 Peru missionaries at the MTC that got their visa. I was one of them! It's a MIRACLE! I leave for Peru on Monday and I'm so excited. God definitely has a plan for me and there must be someone in Peru that needs me.  This week has been super good. My Spanish is coming along. It's going to be so sad leaving my companions and district. I love them so much and it will be hard saying goodbye. We are still just having classes everyday trying to learn spanish. One night the fire alarm went off, my other two companions had just gotten out of the shower and were running to put clothes on to leave. The cops came and were trying to figure out what happened but no one knows. The very next night we had to go get medicine and as we were walking back, the MTC president stopped and asked us why there were so many people outside after hours. He told us to do better. It was kinda funny haha. Anywaysss, this...

1 Yearrrrr

Image
Holaaaaa!! I have officially been a missionary for 1 year! The hardest year of my life. The best year for my life. A year of learning. A year of patience. A year of growing. A year of meeting the most amazing people. A year of making friendships. A year of coming closer to my savior. A year of miracles. A year that I will never forget. A year of love for my heavenly father and Jesus christ. There have been times where I've just wanted to give up. But in these times, the Lord gave me strength to press forward. I am so grateful for all the many experiences I have had in Peru and I'm excited for these last 6 months. One of my favorite things about the mission is the opportunity we have to meet new people. I have made lasting friendships and I want to thank each one of my companions for everything they have taught me!   Hna Goates She taught me how to find JOY! She is the most positive and happy person I've ever met. There's is so much joy and happiness even in the lowest m...
