Palta Palta Palta

What's up yall??


Well this has been an eventful past week :) here are some highlights:


•went to huaca del sol y la luna for pday with the district! It was super cool. We think it was built when the nephites and lamanates were there. One of the elders said, "ahorita, tengo un testimonio del libro de mormon"
•lost electricity for 5 days. We had to take a cold shower with flashlights
•moved apartments with hardly any warning. We kicked the elders out of the apartment so today we will be cleaning jeje
•we had a lesson with Katherine on the temple grounds and it was sooo good. She didn't accept her baptismal invitation but she said she'll pray about it. She came to church yesterday and even brought a friend. Pray for her!
•went to the temple with some missionaries to do a session. The peace in the temple is amazing! It's amazing that the road is so busy and loud and then you get onto the temple grounds it's quiet and peaceful 
•visited some amazing families! We visited the Britto fam and they bought us papa John's and inka cola....ricisimo! Hermano Victor calls us locazas, and it's funny because he's the crazy one (he had 26 companions in 24 months of serving a mission).
•this area is so hard to find people, one day everyone rejected us. But its okay. We invited them. We did our part. We are to invite others to come unto christ but everyone has the beautiful gift of agency to accept or reject. 
•president and hna hiatt live in our area so we visited them for mothers day! We planned with President and surprised hna hiatt. She was so excited and happy to see us. We gave her a cute little note and rose. It's not just hard for the missionaries but also for the mission president and his wife to be away from family for 3 years. Ahh I just love them so much!!


Love yall so so much! Have a fabulous week!

Holaaaaa!! The time has come to an end. I will be leaving Peru on Friday and will make it to Idaho on Saturday! Im so excited to see everyone but also a little heartbroken to leave all the wonderful people Ive met. Peru will always have a place in my heart. These past 18 months have been the hardest 18 months but I am so grateful for the hard because in the end I became stronger.  Thank you district 18B for your love and testimonies of the gospel, also for making us laugh all the time. Thank you to all my companions....Hna Goates, Hna Webb, Hna Soto, Hna Gamarra, Hna Kuhn, Hna Poccohuanca, Hna brown, Hna sandoya, Hna pexton, Hna Strömsdörfer, and Hna Ramirez.

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...
