"Ella Es Mi Gringo"

Buenos diasssss!!! Here's a lil update :)


Mon: Went to President and Sister Hiatts house for district P-Day!! We made waffles and french toast...soooo good! The peruanas have never had french toast before so they were pretty excited. I was too not gonna lie :) We also played some games with President and his wife. 


Tues: Zone conference with President and Sister Hiatt! Super good as always, learned lots, and felt the spirit. We need to first have our own testimony of the gospel to share it with others. We can't just know about the gospel but we need to feel the blessings and feel the peace and joy that comes from the Savior for ourselves first in order to share it with ohers. We had exchanges and I went to Jerusalén with Sister Edwards. Super fun and learned lots.


Wed: Ended our exchanges and had district council!! Taught some people. Taught English woo hoo!!


Thurs: I introduce myself as hermana rose because literally everyone has a difficult time with it. we were talking with Leonardo (recent convert...he's 17 yrs old and is like a little brother to us...all the missionaries love him he's literally the BEST). Anyways we were talking about a member that came to church whose name is Jack. My companion said "ya Jack was looking for Rose" (a joke about the Titanic) and Leonardo said, "noo she's my gringo". Lol he thought my companion was talking about me. My heart :) Anyways yeah we taught some people. Hermano Jampoll brought us KFC at 10pm and it was soo good!! 


Fri: Super long day, we had so many lessons. We taught so many people but we don't know of they will progress. We had FHE with our pensionista and her family and it was fun getting to know their family a little better eventhough we see them everyday.


Sat: we went to the temple!! We couldn't go inside but we could walk around the outside. It's amazing the peace you can feel at the temple compared to the normal world. We couldn't go inside but wow it was so good just to be there and feel the peace and calmness at the temple. We had more lessons and visited some less active members. 


Sun: we are teaching a family right now and they all came to church!! The kids went to primary and the mom and daughter went to Sunday school! Our other investigator that we met this week came to church too! We taught 2 people and knocked on so many doors the rest of the day.


This week was very long but so good. So many prayers were answered. I am so grateful for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the love, peace, and joy they give me. I love you all!! Have a fabulous week!


<3 Hermana Rose

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...
