Mon: Transfers were this week and I am staying in Victoria for another 6 weeks with Hermana Gamarra!! We went to immigrations with a bunch of other americans. We waited 3 hours just to take a picture and fingerprints.  Tues: I had a cold and was exhausted by the end of the day. We had a lesson with Genesis, Jesus, and their mom Ines. They are all so happy and excited for their baptism! Wed: Peru is kind of crazy right now. It´s pretty chill here in Trujillo compared to other parts of Peru but we still have to be careful. We had to cancel our English class and we couldn´t have any reunions in the church this day. However we had some good lessons with members and investigadores. Thurs: Genesis and Jesus´s baptism!! It was so beautiful. So many miracles today. We couldn´t find baptism clothes for them the whole week. The elders were able to find some clothes and we didn´t think it would fit but it did. The baptism was beautiful. They were both so happy!! Fri: District council!! Super ...

holaaaa!!!! how are y'all doing?  This week was soo good! Lots of miracles! Mon: Went to the mall and I saw Hermana Bell from the MTC! We also went to President and Sister Hiatts home for sisters p-day. We ate pizza, played games, and decorated their christmas tree! We took a taxi to go back to our apartament and our taxi driver thought we were going somewhere else. He pulled over and said his car stopped working. We had to get out and find a different taxi. As we drove off, he started driving. He just didnt want to go to Esperanza haha. Good timessss Tues: Good day :) we knocked on alot of doors trying to find new people and also tried finding houses of less active members.  Wed: Exchanges!!! I had exchanges with Hermana Alvarez...super fun and I learned so much. Also perus president went to jail and now theres a new president here. There were protests so we had to be in our apartments at 7pm. Kinda crazy!! Thurs: Had district council and ended our exchange. We read in Alma 3...

We then visited our investigator Genesis because it was her birthday too woo hooo!!  Wed: Helped this lady decorate her christmas tree and her house for christmas! super fun. Taught Lucia and her daughter and her granddaughter too. Everytime we visit her we find a new person to teach. We also taught English, wh...

We had transfers this week and I'm staying in Victoria but I have a new companion!! She's literally the best and I love her so much. This week has probably been one of the best weeks in the mission. We set two baptismal dates for Genesis and Jesus on November 20th! They are literally the best and they are so excited to get baptized. We are also working with two other investigators right now and can hopefully put them on date for baptism this coming week. The work has been really good this week. There are small miracles every day. The people here are absolutely amazing. They are so humble and kind. I don't have much time today like always so here is a short email with some pictures. <3 Hermana Rosenlund pics: -hermana gamarra and I with the cat that lives in the church (this cat literally lives here. when someone takes him out, he somehow finds a way back in) -goodbyes with hermana sandoya and soto -distrito arevalo at the gran buffalo (deliciousssss)

Buenas tardes!! This week flew by! Last pday we went to Chan Chan which is a cultural cite here in Peru. It was really cool! we had a tour guide but obviously I understood basically nothing but it was still really fun. There were some white people taking tours too. The elders asked me what they were saying but I had no idea because they were speaking French. We also went to the temple in Trujillo and ate lunch. It was alright, I'm tired of the food already. I eat rice, chicken, and potatoes twice a day. But its okayyyy :)  Yesterday 6 of our investigators came to church!! It was also the primary program so it was so cute. Another child that we are teaching is absolutely amazing. Her name is Moly and she is 11 years old. She has already come to church twice! The problem is that her mom is always busy so we can't teach her very often. Our other investigators are progressing too. Pray that our investigators can continue to progress and that they can have time to hear more about t...

Holaaa!!! how are y'all doing?  This week went by super fast! We got a new companion this week so now we are in a trio and it's actually so much fun. We are teaching English class. Alot of people come to our class. My spanish is slowly getting better. It´s still really tough but the gift of tongues is real. Sometimes I feel like I don´t make any sense when I´m teaching but apparently I do because they don´t have any questions. We were walking back to our apartment one night and we heard two super loud gunshots. We then saw 2 men run by on the road we live on so we turned around and ran to the closest members house. The next morning we walked by a restaurant that is super close to us and the restaurant was broken into. Two of the windows were broken so those gunshots we heard was literally right around the corner from us. Kinda crazy how close we were but we're safe. Don't worry mom hehe!! This week we had 6 of our investigators come to church which is super...

Holaaaa!!! I don't have a bunch of time today so I will just send a few pictures. This week was pretty good!! We found a lot of new people this week. They're progressing and want to learn more. We also got another companion so now were in a trio! She's from Ecuador and she's the sweetest. I'll be fun being in a trio these next few weeks. Pray for our investigators!  I love you all! Have a splendid week! <3 hermana rosenlund
