WHATAWEEK! First off, Im sitting
here with my new companion, Hermana Hualinga, from, you guessed it,
Peru!! She´s from a part of Lima close to the temple. I am 2 days older
than her, she is the youngest of 15 kids, and the first to serve a
mission. She´s way cute and well we´ve only been together for a few
hours now but I have already learned lots from her and I am way excited
to be her companion. She has been in the mission for 6 months, and was
in piura this whole time, like how i was in paita for my first 6 months
too. Hermana Gozán got transfered to... PAITA!!!!!! She is in the other
branch, but wow, I am so excited she gets to go there. She sure has
heard a lot about Paita in these past 12 weeks. We have had 3 cakes made
for us this weekend since we were having transfers. Hna Gozán has been
such a great missionary here in Chulucanas and the people here love her
so much! She will be missed lots, but I know she will be able to bless
so many lives over there in Paita!
It rained a few times this week which was fun, and
no earthquakes so thats good! We were able to see Katty, the member we
were able to help come back to the church! She is adorable and man,
going through some rough times. Her mom prohibited that she come to
church! She is super sad but has so much faith. I know that through
prayers of faith her moms heart will be softened and will be able to be
ok that she comes to church. Going to church yes, is important, but
something that her mom cant take away from katty is her testimony and
her faith. She is always reading the book of mormon, praying, and
sharing the pamphlets we give her with her friends! She really is so
great and I know as we keep having faith her mom will come around.
Sad day, Hermana Tempora went to Tumbes for a month!
She has been progressing so well, and am sad we forgot to get her
address so the missionaries can visit her there. Well, we will be ready
when she gets back and I know that she will do great things in her life.
The faith she has is amazing. And the love she has for her family is
incredible. I want to be like her.
We went to yapatera again this week with our
pensionista, hna nelly and a member sergio in his moto. We visited hna
lydia. She told us that she is receiving visits from Jehovah Witnesses
too! they were actually waiting outside during the lesson so they could
enter! She says she has a testimony, but needs time to think about it
if she wants to return. She is currently the only member living in
yapatera. We are going to plan an activity over there so we can help the
name of the church be known over there too! I know that God has plans
for all of his children.
I feel like Bob in What about bob sometimes, how he
said, ¨ahoy!! I sail!!! I just let the boat do the work..¨ Its kind of
like being a missionary. Being a missionary is something that our
Heavenly Father is directing, through the Holy Spirit and through his
servants, us! Being a missionary is living the gospel of Jesus Christ. As
we live the gospel, God will bless us, and help his work to go forth. I
know that Christ lives and leads and guides this church through living
prophets. Im way excited for general conference coming up`, Like nate, I
feel like its christmas coming up. :) so everyone get your brackets
ready for the 5th and 6th! :)
Love you all so much! Im so happy being here and
serving the Lord. ¨happiness is the desination, but its also the
path.¨-Elder Uchtdorf. I know that there is great happiness ahead, and
also great happiness we can find right here, righ now.
love yall!

love yall!
