Medieval Chicken Night

What's up, y'all! 


Welcome back to another weekly email. This week was hype and lots of fun, with many miracles seen! I'll start with the miracles. 


We've been teaching Eboni for a few weeks now, and we had a great lesson with her this week. A lady from our ward joined us at the last minute, and we taught Eboni the Restoration. The lesson went super well, and I taught with ease, despite feeling nervous. Eboni is excited to dive into the Book of Mormon and even gave a beautiful prayer, asking to find truth and direction. The member gave some amazing thoughts from her stance as a convert to the church. Thos comments made a huge difference in the lesson. Had she not been there, the lesson would not have turned out as good as it did.


Next, we have Don, a man we've only communicated with via text and phone calls while he's been in Cabo. We invited him to church over the phone, and he showed up on Sunday! Insane! We had a great conversation and are building a strong relationship.


Another miracle is Adam, whom we baptized a few weeks ago. He's loving church and the gospel. When we teach him lessons, he ends up teaching us during lessons! His knowledge of the gospel is so good and he truly knows his Savior Jesus Christ. He also received the priesthood this Sunday. It was so cool to see him get the preisthood. This is because most missionaries don't get to see this stage of there freinds progress on the covenant path. Hype miracale!


As for fun stuff, I get to drive this transfer, and we got a new Tacoma! This tacoma used to be driven by a mission leader so its really nice and baisically brand new. Also, one day we had four dinner plans. Someone how our schedule got messed up and me and my companion were so full that night lol. We also had a medieval chicken night with a ward family. You could only eat with your hands and you had to makes crowns and wear them all night. They bought three roticiary chickens and we all just dug in lol. It was actually really good and a funny experience.


Finally, my comp and I are forced to participate in the Easter program, reciting lines while the piano plays. We have 10 parts combined, and they're only singing three songs! We're essentially the whole program next Sunday, so we'll see how that goes!


In summary, this was a great week. My testimony is growing, and my love for the people, my Savior, and the Book of Mormon is growing. I also lost two more pounds haha. I promise that if you read the Book of Mormon and pray to know the truth, you'll come to know it's the word of God, bringing peace and joy into your life. 


That's all for now. I love you all and have a great week! 


Peace!

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

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...
