Holiiiii!! Que tal? 


Mon: played cards with the district #bañosdelinca!! Dont remember much sorryyyyy


Tues: we went to visit someone but she wasnt there. However we were able to find new people to teach. We found 2 girls from Venezuela and they were so funny. They had never seen anyone from the states before and so they were excited to see 2 gringas. They wanted to take a picture with us haha. 


Wed: on monday my sister told me to write more detailed emails...hehe sorry everyone. Well I got burned by Jesus in 3 Nefi 23 and realized i need to write better in my journal and in my emails. Im not creative but i will try better. Had district council and learned the importance of goals and plans. We found some recent converts which was a miracle because they are never home. We visited another RC and they live next to the prison. Our pensiónista told us not to be over there late at night haha whoops. 


Thurs: 13 months in the mission!!!! Time is flying! We decided to stop by a friends house but if he wasnt going to be there we were going to stop teaching him because hes always busy. We were able to find him outside and we set up another appointment! We started english class andddddd..there were only 5 people but hopefully next week there will be more. 


Fri: un dia milagrosoooo!! We received a reference awhile but we were busy and never really had a chance to contact him. Last week when we were sick and pretty much dying we were able to call him. His name is Victor and hes 18 years old. We visited him for the first time in person and he wants to get baptized. He will be baptized august 12th! God is so good. This is His work and His timing. We also found this other cool guy who i guess we had actually met and hes super interested to hear more!! We also visited the Mantilla family! Theyre the best!! They have such a strong testimony and desire to help others. They also protect us from the scary dogs...real friends.


Sat: mas milagros!! We were so busy in the morning. Our area has a bunch of little towns that live 1-5 hours away from us so we can only do calls with them. We had many calls in the mornng with these people and they are amazing. They have such a desire to learn more and go to church but its literally so far away. One of them will be in Cajamarca and will hopefully come to church! We had some other super cool lessons today and we taught the restoration. There is so much power in the restauracion and the spirit is always so strong!


Sun: 2 of our friends came to church!! We visited some families. We went finding with a returned missionary who served for 30 months!! He got home just a little while ago and he's teaching us so much!


Mon: we traveled 7 hours going around in circles of a Mountain and finally made it to trujillo. We will have zone conferences this week!!


This week i was reading in 3 Nefi. Christ asked his disciples what they desire of him. Three of the disciples desired to live and to share the gospel. What do I desire of the Lors? Right now I desire to have joy and to help others find joy in their lives. There is so much joy to be able to share the gospel. I have never felt so much joy then now. Its when i share the wonderful blessings of the gospel with others that I have real joy. 


3 Nefi 28: 10
And for this cause ye shall have fulness of joy; and ye shall sit down in the kingdom of my Father; yea, your joy shall be full, even as the Father hath given me fulness of joy; and ye shall be even as I am, and I am even as the Father; and the Father and I are one;


I love yall so much!!! Have a splendid 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!

Image
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...
