Hola Mi Familia y Mis Amigos!
¿Cómo estamos hoy día? Ojalá que todo esté bien! My week was a good one. Here is what happened...
- Monday night we had anFHE with the f. Calle Carmen. They are super sweet! and then Friday afternoon we taught Hno. Gian just him and read the Conference talk What lack I yet? It was a v ery spiritual lesson and afterward Hno. Gian touched my heart. He told us that as w shared the message it was like angels were talking with him, sharig just what he needed to hear. He thanked us profoundly...Wow I have to thank my Savior for this opportunity to feel such love from such wonderful people!
- We were finally able to track down a reference we received from a member, and it was really beautiful! Her name is Juliana and she is probably 40 or so, and she has been friends with members for most of her life. She always asked questions, and finally she has decided to accept a visit from the missionaries. It was crazy because both Hna. Fernandez and I commented that we had felt such a warmth in her home, like the Spirit telling that she is someone super special. We are excited to work with her!

- Tuesday evening we were trying to track down one of our investigators and we knocked on the wrong door LOL but it turned into a little miracle! We apologized and presented ourselves, asking if we could share our messasge with them. They let us in!! It wasa darling couple and their little girl. As we talkd, the two of them were left amazed at the new message. They paid attention to every word and asked questions. They really want to know if the story we shared is real. It was inspiring to see such devoted interest. Hna. Fernandez ad I left the house in shock wlalkng on water!
- Wedsnesday afternoon, I cried in a lesson, the first time in quite a while. We were teaching a less active YSA about serving a mission...Wow as I testified of the blessings received on a mi ssion, I got choked up...I know this work is true,. I have come to know my Savior on a level I ever thought possible. This mission has changed my life and it is has changed ME. I am grateful for every single minute, the good the bad and everythign in between!
- Wednesday night was a marathon night. We had worked hard to put together an FHE for our youth investigator Hno Renzo and the hermanas he lives with. It was all set up, members were present, the only thing missing was Hno. Renzo...we called and his "sister" said he was on his way with one of the other "sisters" so we kept waiting and waiting...and waiting! Fianally at 8:40 PM they showed up and the Branch was celebrating! It was a super short lesson with a cute video called for Small and Simple Things. We were able to give Renzo´s "sister" a Book of Mormon! Litle by little they too are going to come to know!
- Thursday we had an awesome District meeting. It was aabout inspired questions, but it wasnt the same old message we always hear. The Secretares presented thre types of inrpised questions, ones to hear their feelings, ones to help the find their own answer, and ones of verification. Each type was backed by scriptural examples and then we did practices that were super spiritual! Hna Fernandez is so powerfully inspired and blew us all out of the water with her inpired questions!! :)
- Vriday night we had to do divisions once again! LOL I went with Hna. Juli to visit a less active from Chulucanas, another pueblito, who ahd sasked to Elders to visit her and she lvies in our area. She talks a TON!! LOL and sadly she has many doubts and doesnt remember much about the church. We are going to be starting fro point 0.0 to help her gain a testimony and come unto Christ.
- Yesterday was Stake Conference! It was relly neat because teh Branch hired a bus and we all traveled together to Piura to hear the speakers! LOL ROAD TRIP! and Hno. Renzo came! The meeting was great. Topics such as being self Sufficient, the Sabbath Day, Service, Temples, and the Book of Mormon. Lots of inpsired m essages!
- Renzo is mo ving forward towards his baptismal date!! We are super excited! Please pray for him!! :)
I love you all so very much! :) Be safe hasta la próxima semana!
