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...

It's 6 hours from Trujillo and we are basically in the mountains. It gets pretty cold at night and in the mornings too. But the people are amazing. Here are some highlights from the past 2 weeks: •said goodbye to all my friends in California :) •had transfers...hopped on a bus at 10:30pm with two elders and made it to cajamarca at 6am •saw chickens, cows, donkeys, pigs, and sheep all in the first day here •my new companion is hna sandoya!
