Guinea Pig!!

Hola hola!! How are yall doing?? I can use FB messenger on p-days now so you can message me there if you want :) 


We watched conference with some members and they invited us to stay for lunch. They served us cuy...guinea pig. I almost made it 2 months in Perú without trying guinea pig. I'm pretty sure the first bite I took had a claw and it was awful. My comp whispered to me that the family thought I didn't like it. Soo I had to finish the whole thing so they wouldn't get offended. It was gross and kinda chewy. And now my stomach has been bad all week. I never want to eat guinea pig ever again! 


We started teaching English class!  There are alot of people that come so hopefully we can baptize all of them ;) I had my first baptism on Friday!! She's a 9 year old girl and she's the cutest. Her name is Dulce! Her family are members but they haven't been coming to church for a while. We were able to teach her and her family. They are all coming to church again! Our other investigators don't have time or other reasons they can't meet with us. Pray that we can find people who are ready to hear the messages of Jesus Christ. 


One very simple quote that I love from conference is "Jesus is the answer". Jesus is the answer for everything...our trial, our sicknesses, our pains, our everything. Because of Jesus Christs Atonement, we can feel peace, healing, hope, and love. As I have turned to the Savior, I have felt more peace in my life. My burdens have been lightened. Jesus christ is always the answer.


I love y'all so much and I hope y'all have an amazing 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.

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...
