Hola Mi Familia y Amigos!
Another week in the field down! Heres what happened this week...
-on Tuesday last week i went on exchanges with our sister leader Hna. Ziegner!! She is from Oregon and i love her so much! it was a perfect time to recuperate and be reminded that im not drowning! i can do this! The day went well. Her Pensionista is such a sweet ¡heart! She gave us great food and she took down my moms name to look her up on facebook and talk to her about me!! How cool huh?? That night, Hna. Ziegner and i made pasta and she shared her cool cookie from her relatives in Arequipa, Peru and the cake another member of the ward had mdae her. Hna. Ziegner is truly fantastic! we went running nin the morning and she made pancakes for us! i was sad to leave her, but i love Hna. Salazar too! i think we should just hav a trio! :)
-on wednesday, Francisco told he us he wants to be ba`tized!!! AHH! weve only taught him twice, but his family is all members and he decided its true! Yesterday, we set a date for Spt. 26th and now we are working to prepare him for that date. its so cool thta i am going to have my first baptism in my first transfer!
- I was real smart thursday and let myself get sunburned pretty bad...LOL im healing pretty well, but the first fews days were not fun!
- i attended my first district meeting on Sat. and i have to say that i have have the best district ever :) Elders Flores and Richards, Miranda and Bradford, and Hna. Salazar and i. it was fun and they are all so willing to help! Elders Miranda and Bradford are the Zone Leaders too so that thats neat!
- This weekend was the district cnofeerence for all of Talara. Presidente and Hna. Rasmussen came and spoke both Saturday night and Sunday morning. It was real great to see them as well as hard because they are like my parents out here on the mission, and it made me homesick. I will admit i miss my mommy and daddy :) But the talks the two gav were fantastic! Presidente talked about how the members can help us missionaries, and it was profound. he showed one of the mormon messages without words, and it really hit home. LOL during that meeting, Hna. Liliana a member here her daughter fell asleep on my shoulder! it was so precious! :)
- Hna. Rasmussen really takes the time to listen, and i love her more and more every time i talk to her! She spent a whole hour just chatting with us and Hna. Ziegner and Huanca after the conference Sunday morning!
- All of you should loook up 1 Nephi 21:20...this reminded me that success, joy, peace, happiness all comes after trials. Although i am facing many challenges here, all is to test me and prove me and improve me, making me become the person my Heavenly Father wants me to be. Remember that when you face your own challenges in your life. He is shaping you, molding you into your best self!
-sorry for no pictures yet again...this whole system is driving me crazy!
I love you all! i miss you all, but the gospel is still true! Yo sè que Jesucristo es mi Salavador y Redentor. Yo sè que las families pueden ser juntos para siempre por medio la Expiaciòn de Jesucristo. Yo sè que este Evangelio es verdadero. Con tiempo, y poderà hablar Español perfecto y ayudar la gente de la Perù Piura Misiòn! Te amo!! :)
