<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So what exactly happened this week? </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Its all a blurr, we worked hard and we preached the Restored Gospel of Jesucristo!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week was Semana Santa and everyone here loves Semana Santa (Holy Week? Im not really sure if we say that in english..). The Catholic people all climb the hill Cerro San Cristobal, im not really sure why but thats what they do! Also there are people who dress up like Jesus and the Santos and walk around the streets with giant crosses with a hoard of people following them and everyonce in a while they stop adn recite their prayers and sing. Also everyone eats fish. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
As misioneras we celebrate Semana Santa a liiiitle bit differently. We share the message that Cristo came to this earth. He taught the people, loved the people, and served the people. Jesucristo atoned for our sins and died for us, so that we may become wloe in Cristo. But we also share the message that He lives! He ressurected, and because He lives we will live again too. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive."

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also we walk alot- just not up the hills. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week we have found some really cool people that are really interested in our message- we just gotta get em to church, thats the tricky part.... </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
But this weekend is General Conference! WOOHOOO! And we already have a ton of poeple lined us ready to listed to the words of the profet and the other leaders of the church!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Yeah so the church is super true, but not only is it true but it is the only true church and the only church that has the authority of God here on the earth. How cool is that! Its great. I love it. The mish is rockin and im here in Lima livin it up like no other!<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
With Love from Lima </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week I got an ugly redneck, farmers tan sunburn, tripped about 500 times (still clumsy as ever), got tricked into eating nasty cow parts, and turned 20 years young!!</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week was a good one. Weird things always happen with hermana Sanchez by my side, just makes life a bit more interesting! <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">For example, one day we were walking in the park and saw a big black trash bag (it looked inflated) in a park. I wanted to see what was under it so i started walking towards it and somebody started yelling at me! And that somebody was in the trash bag! Why? We have no idea... </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week we also had entravistas with President. Ahhh so great, I love talking with president y hermana Larson. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We are running around here in Los Jardines like crazy people. This sunday we had several of our investigators come to church which was great- but only 1 stayed for all three hours.... But progress is progress! <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Yeah well sorry I dont really know what else to sayyyy! The mission is great I love being here walking among the Limanites and sharing this marvellous Gospel of eternal peace joy and happiness! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also im 20 now! It was weird i just woke up one day and I saw the world in different colores and the food tasted foodier, My tallness felt a little tallier, and I just seemed to know everything and have all the answers to all the questions. It was a nice experience. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br />Also check out this super great video about Easter and about our Salvador Jesucristo. <a href="https://www.mormon.org/easter" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.mormon.org/easter</a></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well there were changes over here in the middle of desolate San Juan de Lurigancho. Hermana Moffett got transferred to LAS BRISAS!! but not to my old sector (Las brisas 2) she went to las brisas 1, but the same barrio. Also in to other companionship of hermanas here in the zone- hermana paz and hermana sanches- hermana paz got transferred. And now my new companion is Hermana Sanchez!! They took out both of our companions and put Hermana Sanchez and I together! Now between the two of us we have two sectors to work in! Were super excited and super exhausted! Now that there is just Los Jardines (There was los jardines 1 &2) we are doing a lot more walking between the two sectors, also we had to move into the new room so we were lugging refrigerators, boxes of books, maletas, desks, every little thing up and down the shair where we live to get everything all together and organized. But it was fun and we are super excited to have this oppurtunity to work in the two sectors and make them one! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So this week i really dont remember what happened, its all kinda a blurr. Im getting to know the people from Hermana sanchezs sector and shes gettign to know the people in my sector. Its great the work is great, sorry I dont have too many details :) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Today we went to centro de lima to do a little shoppy shoppin and we found this cute little chocolate museo and got ourselves some delicious chocolates, cause we are hermanas and we love chocolate. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also everyone that is going through a litttle bit of a rough patch or a hard time (seriously probably everyone) just needs to take a little 5 minute break from life, sit down with your favorite type of chocolate adn a Book of Mormon adn just read for 5 minutes. Seriously the Book of Mormon is so special and can lift your spirits, change your day around, feel peace and tranquilidad, and so so much more. The mision is hard, heck life is hard. But Dios knows that! Any for that reason we have tools to help us along in life. I love the Book of Mormon and the oppurtunity that I have here in Lima to share it with people every day, so that they can find answers to their questions, pease in their lives, and eternal happiness. What a blessing it is to have the Santa Biblia and El Libro de Mormon!<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Love the mission!<br />With love from Lima</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hey yall. Im sick! I just have some kinda yucky head cold, but its not fun. My nose is stuffy and my head is throbbing and I sound like I smoke 2 packs a day. I keep hearing my moms voice in my head saying "Blow your nose Sara!" But im feeling better, blowing my nose on a regular basis and truing not to cough up a lung. </span><br />

This week was super good- as always. Not a whole lot happened- we walked, taught, found some cool new people, walked some more, taught some more, took a water break (cause its hot) found some more, and then eventually we sleep. </div>

some things...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
1. There is this gym that we pass all the time full of little peruvian guys pumping iron, one day we passed by (there is a giant window the length of the wall) and someone yelled "Hoootdooog!". I was confused and then I asked H Moffett if she heard that and she started laughing and told me that he yelled "guappaaa" haha i guess that does make more sense. </div>

2. We have this investigador named Orlando that is just the cutest old man (hes really not that old) that came to church sunday! Sundays are always a little stressfull cause a lot depends on if your investigators come to church or not. We arrived at church adn we had one investigator there (but shes waiting to get divorced to get married to get baptized which takes forevvvver here) and no one else. So we were feeling pretty down when church started. We were fasting that out investigators could come to church but we werent really seeing that that was gonna happen that sunday. So we started the sacrament and I was really praying hard that someone would come, or that I could know what else I can do to really help these investigators progress. We took the sacrament and I just felt all my nerves and stress melt away as I focusud on the sacrament and what it really met. Sacrament ended and then they opened the doors and in walks 4 of our investigators! We jumped up and ran and opened the dividers and got some chairs for them and we all sat down adn listened to testimonies. Out of the 5 that were there only 2 were able to stay for all 3 hours (1 asistencia is all 3 hours) It was really great, Orlando met el obispo and made some friends and really enjoyed the classes and told us that he learned alot. And Raquel (our other investigator) was able to go to her class the 2nd hour (normally she would just stay in nursery with her little girl) and then the third hour we sat with her in nersurey with her daughter Emily and were able to teach her. </div>

It was really nice to see all of our walking and teaching and testifying pay off that sunday. We only had two that were able to stay for all three hours, but every single one of us is important and special in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. We we so excited to see them show up at church not becuase it counts as one asistencia but we can really see that they want to learn more and that their testimonies de Jesucristo are really growing bit by bit. I love the mission, its ridiculously hard at times, but here I have really been able to see people grow closer to nuestro Slvador Jesucristo y a nuestro amoroso Padre Celestial. <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Love the Church, and the restored Gospel of Jesucristo que tenemos.</span></div>

haha also this week I shared Moroni 9:8 with a menos activa (her name is Magali and she has 19 years) We were just talking about crime shows and crazy serial killer people and she said that she didnt have that much time to read the Libro de mormon cause shes reading some serial killer psycology book. So I showed her that verse adn she got really excited. then we read a nice pretty verse about faith. The Book of Mormom is so cool!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hello all, here I am finally writing this email after walking around for almost 40 minutes trying to find internet. "Why was it so hard to find internet?" you may ask.... well you see ther are 5 million adolecent boys in every single internet playing stuped internet video games. Finally we found some computers....but it still smells like teenage boy armpit in here. </span><br />

This week was really great we did a lot of stuff and saw a lot of miracles. And im really tired. Today is pday and we went to Centro de Lima and did a bit of shopping and then we went to the catacumbas. There we learned a lot about the catholic church and saw a bunch of bones. Also for some reason it smelled like garlic in there. </div>

Things that happened this week. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">The power went off in about half of our sector- at night. That was terrifying. But we ran to the other side where there was light, so were still alive. </li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">We contacted a lady last week adn then se saw here again in the street and she invited us in to talk to her and then she brought out her husband- a pastor from some iglesia evangélica to "talk" about what we believe. It was intereting, thouse guys really like to talk. Its crazy how close they are to the whole complete truth, they just need the Book of Mormon! </li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">We got to stay in nursery for two hours of church cause one o four investigators has a little crazy kid and she works every day till late. SO one of us taught her while the other kept the little one occupied. It was tricky, but it was really great. </li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">23598236 things happened but my brain is fried and im to tired to remember. But one day im sure if you ask waht happened this week ill be able to tell you in perfect detain, but today is not that day.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The church is true, San Juan is hot. San Juan is also a place. The Book of Mormon is my favorite book ever because it is really really cool, and also cause wehn I read it I fell my Saviors love, I feel that I am a daughter of God adn that he has a divine plan for me and for each one of us. I find answers to my questions, doubts, worries. It lifts me up when I feel down, and it lifts me up higher when I am happy. But the thing that I love the most is that its writtin for me and for every single one of us individually adn here in teh mision I can really see how this little book can change peoples lives. Love love loove the Book of Mormon, and you should too!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week was a good one! I dont remember a whoole lot about what happened but I do remember a few things....</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
1. Hna moffett gave herself a nice little bruise on her face. Here in the mornings we have 30 minutes to excercise. 6:30-7:00 am. But the thing is sometimes its really hard to jump out of bed an get goin on ejercicios, so we have learned a lot of excercises that you can just do laying on the ground! One of them we made up. You take a biiig waterbottle full of water and you kinda bench press it (super easy) but hermana moffett wanted to try something different- so she started throwing it and catching it, throwing it and catching it- higher and higher.... but then she threw it adn she didnt catch it! It fell on her faceee! Oh my word, thats the last time were doing that one. But she had herself a nice purple mark right on he rcheek. Were putting the bottles away for a bit. </div>

2. Alexandra got baptized! Shes not an investigator, but her mom was suuuper menos activa for a while and she was recently reactivated. So we visited them alot and Tania (the mom) is just so great. She always jsut tells us how much happier she is with the Gospel in her life and how it has really changed her as a person for the better. They are a really special family and I have really seen how the Gospel isnt just for peopel- but its for families. </div>

3. We found some really cool people that want to listen to us- AND- they came to church! Im not really sure how it is in other misiones, but here they have to go to church for all three hours to count as one asistencia, and to get baptized they need to go three sundays for all three hours. Here our church starts later so the third hour cuts riiight into almuerzo, and here almuerzo is sacred. SO really if someone comes and stays for all three hours theyre special. We didnt have anyone going to church when i came, so we were really kinda starting from ground 0. But poco a poco we have been seeing the fruits of our labors and have been having more and more imvestigators coming for all three hours of church. Its hard, but nothing easy was ever worth it in the long run. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also this past 5 weeks we have been having a competition with the elders in the district to see who could have the most invitaciones con fecha. And guess who won..... WEEE DIIID! So we all went to toritos and they had to pay for our food (suuper yummy mexican food). But also there were tons of blessing that we got from the contest- not just the yummy food!<br /><br />Well, I really dont remember much else, the mission is great. its hot and hard, but its great nonetheless. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The church is true, thats one thing I know for sure with all my heart!<br />Les quiero!<br /></div>

I hope you all had lovely sundays with your friends and loved ones- but also kept the sabbath day holy! </div>

Honestly this week I cant remember much of what happened this week... </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The highlight was probably when Brillit finally came to church for all three hours! (We can only count the asistencias for their baptism if they are there for the full three hours- and she was!) Brillit is so great. She has been listening to the missionaries off and on for about a year but has never gone to church. So we started visiting her again and teaching her. A while ago we had a training with Elder Uceda (the area president) and he said that a sucessful missionary will "hacer cosas" -do things- with your investigators. SO thats what we did. We read the Book of Mormon with her, we got her a cute colored pencil to help her mark her scriptures, we have kneeling prayers with her, and this sunday we went by and went to church with her. WEve learned how important the compromisos are for the investigadores but its so much more important to apply the compropisos to ourselves to be examples and friends and to really help the people <u>understand</u> the importance of reading teh scriptures, going to church, and praying daily. Its cool to see how the gospel changes people,and to see the changes that the gospel has made in me- but only when we apply the things we learn, and apply them with faith. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also we got locked in internet for like an hour the other day. That was not fun. We had to go for 5 minutes to write our family to tell them thaq twe werent going to email monday and the lady left for some reason and locked the gate so we couldnt leave! That was fun to explain when we finally got to our citas. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also in our ward we have a residential crazy lady. Im not really sure if she is a member or just some random lady. But she is there every sunday adn doesnt go to any classes- just sits in the sacramental for 3 hours. So this sunday we went in to the sacramental cause we forgot a paper in there and a joven gave me a coin (like 20 cents) and told me that it was from the crazy lady and that I should give it to the bishop. SO we took it and went to find someone to give it to, but then she found us and started yelling at us and told us that that money belonged on the pulpit, and like crossed me with her hand (yeah- i guess she want a member..) and told us that we needed to kneel down and repent. She was crazy... and a little scary too... But shes a daughter of God nonetheles.... </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also they put me incharge of a specail musical number for the zone for the multizona conferencia- why? I dont know. Nunca jamas. I thought it would be easy- but then I realized that I was working with just a bunch of elders. Asu machina. enserio- nuca jamas. But it turned out good. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week was the best- every week is so great. The gospel brings happiness and love and hope and joy and every other good thing that you can think of. Its perfect and its for everyone! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Love you all so much- I miss ya, but theres no place id rather be right now than in the mision! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dear family and friends,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has come to my attention that the Panthers have suffered a tragic loss. I would like to apologize for the damage that I have caused as a result of my #PantherPride</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Mormoni 8:36 we rea<span style="color: black;">d "<span style="line-height: 22px;">And I know that ye do walk in the </span><span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; border: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pride</span><span style="line-height: 22px;"> of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the </span><span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; border: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pride". Unfortunatly this week I was not one of the few who did not "lift themselves up in the pride".... </span><span style="line-height: 22px;"> And just like the Nephites and the lamanites, in The Book of Mormon, when they got pridefull they always fell hard. So sorry for that. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Jk That wasnt my fault, the Panthers just need to #KeepPounding. Next year. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">But seriously, dont be prideful. Thats when bad things happen... </span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This week was great, also it felt like forever! But a good forever :)</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black;">We contacted two girls this week and set up an appointment to visit them the next day. So we passed by for their house saturday and we knocked on the door and they let us in and there was a whole family inside waiting! Honestly at first I was a little nervous cause it was us (two gringas) and a whole family of 6 latinos. But then I remembered my power scripture (Just a little verse that helps me when im feeling nervous, worried, stressed, stuff like that) "Mirad hacia mi en todo pensamiento; no dudéis, no temais." ("Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.") D&C 6:36..... then I knew that everything would all be ok cause we were there on teh Lords errand. So we taught them el Libro de Mormon and it was beautiful. Seriously this family is so special. They understood everything that we said and things that they felt. En serio, amo esta familia. There are jsut so many little miracles that we see everyday, and they were definately one of them. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black;">Haha also this week we were walking in the street with a memeber and some guy started yelling "Elders, Elders!" So we went over there and corrected him and started talking to him. He let us into his house and we taught him a lesson and then when we finished he jumped up and started rummaging through all his pants looking for a little piece of paper with a question that he has del Libro de Mormon, So he found it and asked us it CHina was the chosen land of God and told us that it says that in "our bible". Then we explained that it doesnt say that in there and so then he asked us "Well what does Eter 1:26 say?" So we opened it up and he wanted us to explain it to him. it says "Het era hijo de Com" (It was just the geneology of Eter...) and so we explained to him that they were just the family of Eter, but he said "But whaat does that mean..." and on his little paper it said "Com" so then he pointed at his papaer and said "Look it says right here "com"" Uhhh huuuu.... So than I asked him why it said Com... and he said "I dont know....." Hahah yeah nosotras tampoco! I think he wanted to argue with us but he forgot what he wanted to argue about. He really is a great person, he just confused himself a bit. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: black;">Also there is this dog that lives over by our house. Hes our good friend, and he always likes to walk with us. So sunday we got up and we were on our way to church and he got up and started walking with us. We got to church adn went in the capilla AND HE FOLLOWED US! Into the capilla! There was a ward having their sacrament meeting in the capillia and then a dog walked right in! Thank heavens it didnt go in the room, just right ourside the door. So we left to have it follow us out- and it did. But then we came back in and if just followed us back in! Three times! And by this point there were a bunch of poeple from the sacrament meeting watching us! Que vergüenza! Eventually someone helped us escape our puppy friend. He distracted the dog and we snuck in the capilla without him seeing us! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

1. Superbowl sunday- we visited a family and they were all geared up for the game! Really they knew nothing about it, but I dont believe in coincidences.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hello family and friends. I have been transferred toooooo.... SAN JUAN DE LURIGAUNCHO! ALso here I am finishing the training of Hermana Moffet (from UT)! You can just call me Hermama Scarlett.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">SHes a sweetheart and hilarious! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I think my family back home knew that I would be training before I actually knew. We got the call monday night and I FREAKED OUT. Oh my word I was a stress ball. But its all ok. Just this past week I wrote to president about cambios (before we knew the cambios) And said that where ever I go and who every I am with its for a reason. Then we got the call, and I thought that president might have lost his mind. But then I remembered what I told president. There is a reason for where I am going to be and who I am going to be with. Im here in Los Jardines 1 (my sector) with hermnaa moffet for a reason. So im just gonna FAITH it till I make it. </span><br />

This area is suuuper different. We are right on the limits of the mission- we have a road in our sector and if you cross it youre in Mision Lima Norte. Also here there is a ton of dirt and dust. We are far away from the mar so it is also really dry here, and there are no big buildings like there were in Magdalena so the sun is a lot stronger here. But its a great place. </div>

I really cant tell you too much about the people here yet cause I dont know that many- but the ones that I have met are angels and just so sweet. </div>

We found one menos activa and we talked to her for a bit and then we asked her to say a prayer and she said a sweet prayer but when she ended she just said "amen" and so I kinda peeked at her and whispered "In the name of Jesucristo, amen" So she could end it right so then she was like "Yeah ok, en el nombre de Jesucristo de los santos de los últimos días, amen " Haha shes cute, were gonna work on that. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also the second day I got here H Moffet got sick :( So we were in the house for a bit. But she is better now and we are back to a good pace and workin hard!<br />
I really dont have that much more to say!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Heres a quote that I love from Our Search for Happiness, by M. Russell Ballard</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
"And an interesting thing happens whenever you attempt to place your feet in Christs footsteps. If you really concentrate on trying to walk the way He walked- loving, caring, serving, and obeying, each step of the way - one day youll look up and discover that His path has led you directly to the throne of God."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This is my goal. to walk the way He walked. To follow in his footsteps and do all that I can to help others come to this knowledge- that only through Christ can we live with our Heavenly Father again. I love this gospel and I love Christ and all the He has done for me through His infinite love. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Love you all and I pray for you often!<br />
With Love from Lima </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Dear people, </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
It has recently come to my attention the the Panthers have a 17-1 record this season and will be advancing to the Superbowl in 2 weeks. We can look at this and really see all the blessing that we recieve from missionary work. Families are being blessed thanks to the missionaries from North Carolina that have decided to serve missions, and now the Panthers are going to the Superbowl. Miracles do exist, you´re welcome.<br /><br />Just kidding! But how exciting is that! WOOOHOOO!! People here are gonna get sick of me real quick! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Haha but this week has been really great. We always have super weird experiences, frustrating experiences, sad, and every other emotion in between. I really have discovered emotions here in the mission that I never knew existed before. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We are doing a lot of finding from contacting, the carpeta de area, and from member refrences! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We found this old man named Jamie (from the carpeta) and we went to his house and he let us in real quick and we talked to him for a good bit about the church and about the Book of Mormon, and just our basic principles that we live by. Hes so cute. Every time we said something or bore testimony he would say "Exactly! Thats exactly right! Why are there not more people that believe this and more importantly act on their beliefs?!" Then we invited him to be baptized and ha said "Seria maravillosa!" (That would be marvelous). Hes great. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Actually this week we spent a lot of time with different old people. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
A member presented us to his old lady friend that always hands out in the park and likes to sing. SHe is cute, her name is Clair- her family is from Francia, she only told us at least 20 times. ALso she was a saprano back inthe day in some prestegous choir. She mad a song up about me and sang it to me. She compared me to a rose and sang about my eyes and how im so beautiful- it was very interesting. Then we sacked a cita with her and i went to kiss her cheek good bye and she grabbed my face and drew a cross on it with her thumb (kinda like simba from the lion king) and then gave me several grandmotherly pats on the cheek. Were gonna go sing with her next week. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Yeah so this week wa had a toooon of citas- but the majority of them fell through. That was a little rough. But the thing is that not everything is always going to go perfectly like you planned it. Thats not life. But we just have to make the best out of every situación and look for, and work for, the blessings that are there. So when our citas fell through, thats when we found osme really great contacts, when we found little acts of service, antiguos investigadores that maybe now is their time. Its really easy to let these things get you down and let it impede the work, but easy is hardly ever the best. WHen it gets hard, work harder, make your day great.Thats something that ive really learned alot in the mission- to take the lemons, put in some work, and make some lemonade. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I love you all so so much and youre in my prayers. I hope you have the best week every and are able to turn some lemons into lemonade! </div>

2. A noche de Hogar with My Las Brisas Grandparents- Hermana Arce and her husband (arce actually means maple tree in spanish- who knew?) Hes the cutest old man. When ever he tries to shake my hand we play "dodge hand" and I just move my hand around until he gets it. HAhah then during stake conference he came up to me and I did that then after that he pointed at my shirt (like i had something on there) and then he did that thing where he zips his finger straight up your face when you look down! Hes crazy! Theb he grabbed me and gave me a big hug, so funny and a little bit uncomfortable and then I realized that President was there and a tpon of other missionaries! HAha but it was funny </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Ok so this week, lets seee. It is a billion degrees here and sometimes the streets smell like fecies. Actually its really not a bilion degrees, but its still pretty hot. And only some streets smel like yuck, others smell like bread, so thats nice. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We had 2 specail confrences with Elder Uceda. He is the area general authority, and also he is our bishops dad! Funny story- one sunday a few weeks into the mission I sat right next to him and just thought that he was a normal member. Then (like 3 weeks later) I realized who he was.... dang.. He talks to the profet! And I sat next to him! ...but i didnt realize it... but it happened nonetheless!- Anywyas hes about the coolest, and his life is so interesting. I want to read his biography. He has basicaly been with the church in Peru almost since the beginning. He was baptized into the first stake in Peru, which was in Lima. And now he is finishing organizing the 101 stake in peru! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Yeah so this guy is a spiritual giant and I cant even beging to explain all that I learned and felt when we were with him so im just gonna leave it at that. Oh but we all had the oppurtunity to shake his hand and tell him where we were from. I told him I was from north carolina and he was like "Cooooooolll" (His english is perfeect) He didnt say anything to the ones from Utah <img alt="😋" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60b" goomoji="1f60b" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60b" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also this week we found some interesting people. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We found a lady in our carpeta de area and we went and visited her and pretty much the fiirst thing she said was "awh you look like a little cat" to hermana Deppe and then she got super serious and told us that there might be an earthquake any day cause she read about it on some religous page on the internet, and it there was we have to grad on to a pole cause the earth will open and then the it will eat us cause there is LAVA! Shes a specail one. Were never gonna have a boring lesson with her. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also we have been finding some really cool people to teach. One guy is named Jhonathan and we taught him about the Book of Mormon one day and we shouwed him the picture of the people being baptized in the fron of the book and we ased him what he saw.

I found this quote this morning when I was reading a talk called "Turn to Him and Answers WIll Come" by Elder James B. Martino.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
"Am I as close to living like Christ as I was before?" </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Hot dang, that hit me. That is something That I am trying to work more and more on every day. to always evaluate myself to see where I am at adn to always remember the goals that I have and to try and continually be more like my Savior. As I have been doing this I have been able to recognize more and more blessings that I have in my life and really see rogress that I am making. We should all think about the end point. Where do we want to go? And then realize that we can get there through Christ. ANd then act, bit by bit day by day, and eventually we will get there and we will have Christ with us every step of teh way. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">This week was great. We worked our hineys off and it was great- not that we don't anyways. We started a 40 day fast in our zone of things that could be holding us back from our full potential as missionaries. A lot of the stuff that I am fasting from are just tiny things that have really been making all the difference. My posture while im praying, organizing my study desk every night before bed so its ready in the morning. "... Y así vemos que por pequeños medios el Señor puede realizar grandes cosas." (1Nefi 16:29) We are finding more and more people to teach and we are seeing little miracles every day. </span></span></span><br />

One of these people that we found is named Guliano and he is the coolest! I really feel like back in his day he was pretty thug. I mean hes not old, maybe like late 30´s, but yeah he definitely has some thug in him. But it was funny cause a lot of times there are people that like to say stuff to us (por ejemplo, on the way to internet today some guy looked at me and kinda shouted ¨Everlasting love!¨ or new years eve there was a group of older men that were saying ¨Look! The angels have fallen from heaven!¨ But its really funny cause their pronunciation is really bad.) but anyways there is this group of jóvenes (young men) that always yell hellloo gringaas just to try and bother us a bit, But Guliano knows them! Anyways we met him at his house and walked across the street to the park and this group of jóvenes saw and yelled something and Guliano was like ¨Hey! Im trying to listen to the word of God! You guys should probably do that too!¨ It was really funny and Guliano is cool and has lots of interest and wants to learn more. ALso now were in with the thuggies on the block. </div>

One thing that I was studying this week was about Grace. A lot of time when we think about the grace that our Heavenly Father and Jesucristo have for us we tend to think that when we put in all that we can that they will be there to make up the difference. That is true but that is not all. They aren't just there waiting for us at the finish line- or almost at the finish line waiting to help us finish- they are with us every step of the way. There are there to help us in the beginning, middle, and end. They know us and love us and want us to become the best that we can be- they want us to achieve the potential that they see in us. We can achieve this only through grace. Through the Atonement of Jesucristo. I love this Gospel and all the blessings that I have through it.<br />The mission is super hard but so far it has been one of the best decisions that I have made.<br />Les quiero mucho!<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Im getting worse and worse about remembering what happens every week. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We had NEW YEARS!! It was lots of fun. We had permision to stay at Hermana Flors house until 12.20. At 12 the whole sky exploded! It was AWESOMMMEE! We had so much! But then we went home and watch for a bit longer from our roof and then we hit the hay around 1. The next day we had Pday as a zone and went to Larco Mar, which is like the beach. Also it is suuper classy and touristy. It was beautiful and clean and it was almost like I never even left the US! Also we played the game "are they whiter than us?" Where we basically just evesdropped on all the white people we saw to figure out how white they really were, mostly based off their spanish. It was fun, made me feel a bit better about my spanish. Also I met this lovely couple from fort mill and we had a nice chat about the carolinas. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Larco mar is above the beach so we played sports on the beach for a while and then walked up to larco mar to eat. It was probably the equivalent of walking the great wall of china. There were so many stairs and it was all up hill. And it was about 500 degrees. but the food was good. We had Burger King. Just like the States. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also nobody wants to be in Lima during the holidays so almost every single one of our investigators is in some other part of Peru. But that was just a blsessing in disguise casue we are finding alot of really cool people that are interested in our message. But we had two investigators that stayed here. One id Guillermo and the other is Antuonet. Antuonet has classes every sunday from 9 to 12, and gues what time church is at 9 to 12. So thats definately from the adversary. But they are both great and just really want to learn more. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also I got my package that mom sent to me about 16 weeks ago! I had to walk all over Magdalena (mostly cause we got lost) looking for the ser post. But then we found a dunkin doughnuts on the way back and shared some with the elders in the offices (cause we had to walk all the way to the serpost and then back to the office to drop off my ID card) We are deinately the coolest hermanas in the mision. Yeah so that was our super jumbled confusing week.<br />I love the holidays but im glad that they only happen once a year cause they are exhausting and im just ready to get back to a normal schedule. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I hope this email kinda makes sense. If not, just know that the mision is great and im loving every crazy second of it. The church is true folks! </div>

Well this week was christmas! It was great to talk to my family adn to spend christmas with my Peruvian family! CHristmas eve our pensionista took us out to get lunch at a nice restaurant. They are the sweetest. And then afterwards we had a bad of little goodie bags that we went and passed out to all the children in the street. Its like a tradition here to give to the people who really need it on christmas eve. Its really sweet- and an eye opener. </div>

Then christmas eve night we had permision to be out until 12:20 in a members home and we had so much fun. Its a tradition here to eat a big dinner christmas eve night at 11 and then thees a countdown- like new years eve- till christmas day at 12! Then at 12 everyone in Peru lights off all their fireworks and the sky looks like it is on fire! SO coool! We had so much fun! </div>

But this week was a little hard to visit people cause everyone was busy adn didnt have any time. ANd here you have to go throught a gate and then like 2 more doors to get into peoples houses. ANd they have stupid little buzzer intercom things so it just makes it more easy to tell us no! But thats ok, I know this church is true and there are people waiting to hear this gospel and every "no" is just one step closet to a "yes"!<br /><br />I love you all so much and thanks for all the christmas wishes!<br /></div>

Our investigator Hans finally got baptized! But oh my word it was a process! It was really cool cause I got to see him through the whole entire experience from when we found him all the way up to his baptism and to infinity and beyond! Just kidding, hopefully Im not in this sector for that long (not that I dont love it- its the best!) BUt hes really come a long way, and now he is our Gospel Principles class president! Hes a funny dude, and our ward mission leader is like his adopted church dad and was able to baptize and confirm him. Its just really nice to see the fruits of our labors and to really see the changes that this gospel can bring to those that truely choose to follow Christ. </div>

Im so excited for all the fun christmasy things, the food, the gifts and everything in betweent, but what I love the most about this time of year is that we get the opportunity to share the beautiful message about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ with everyone. He was born in the most humble of circumstances and lives the most perfect life of love for us, for every single individual child of God. He gave us the most precious and beautiful gift that we cant get anywhere else. His grace, His mercy, and His love. So when we are opening up our presents under the tree we should reflecton the real gift tha was given to us. A savior and Redeemer of the world! </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Wow this week was a good one! I really only rember like 2 things... but theyre really good two things! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So we have been passing by and following up on a lot of our contacts so we have been knocking alot of doors to find them again. So lots of walking searching and finding. Sometimes I forget that people have lives and school and jobs and that they just arent always in their home waiting for us to knock on their doorall day long. But thats a-ok. We are finding more and more potentials (well really every single person is a potential) but people who are more open, and its just great and fun</div>

Also we had a secret santa noche de hogar with a few members from the barrio- they are the beest! Patricio had my name- he is a mess! He was asking me what I wanted last week but like in a very general way so I wouldnt suspect anything but I kept telling him super ridiculous things like a peruvian dog (thay are so ugly! They have no hair and are black brown and super wrinkly) or a llama or some pizza- just crazy things- So it was his turn and he pullled out this big box and gave it to me and I opened it and there was this little llama key chain at the bottom! Hahah it was so funny! Also I was really excited about the big box too haha. </div>

Oh and also we ate us some CUY! Its was kinda like a really smally chicken-but in guinea pig form. And they skin was a little reaky cause it wasnt like chicken skin- it was like animal skin- like guinea pig leather... But the little feet were funny so we all saved the little feet and were gonna make BFF charm braclets with them.</div>

Yeah So i love the mission, whats new? I love christmas! I think I am going to be a professional white elephant giver when I grow up. <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We are doing a white elephant in the zone today and I just had too much fun putting together our christmas presents! They put it for a 5 sole min and we didnt want to buy anything so I found a big jar of salva trigo and put 5 soles in the lid and taped a picture over it. Hahah i hope no one ever looks there and one day a year into the future someone is going to find it! Also we found our can of corn and taped coins and pictures of the zone and reandom people all over it. Its really great. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week I really dont remember alot that happened but it was pretty crazy. I think this week was so hard and unpredictable and frustrating bu tit just made me love the mission even more and we have gotten really good about finding blessings and little miracles in every crazy hard thing that happens. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

My testimony has also really grown in the simple beautiful truths of the Gospel. Our investigator Hans has about every question that you could ever think of and honestly some of them just arent that important to know. But every question can always tie back into the plain simple truths of the Gospel. Yeah its extremely frustrating sometimes but ive learned that were not here to answer every nitty gritty question but were here to testify of what we know to be true, and through that we can help others feel este seguridad también. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also we contacted a girl and her aunt in the street this week and they are just made of some beautiful souls. Oh my word that are the sweetest and I just have so much love fro them! We have visited them a few times during the week and they are just full of desire to learn more! We mostly saw Antonella (shes 22) cause her aunt was out of town for an emergency thingy. They are a hard time understanding what they read in the Book of Mormon but they can feel the spirit and they want to learn more and sometimes thats all you have to have and the rest will come. Poco a poco </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

Palabra mio... I love christmas. I love this time of year so much. If someone mentions anything that is possibly christmas related I just get all giddy inside and sometimes i get a little giddy outside too! But its just so beautiful! We had an actividad for the missionaries in Historia Familiar (there are 8 of us. 4 comps) and we set up a projector outside of IRU and put on the church christmas videos and sang christmas carols and contacted people and invited them to watch the videos and I just love christmas so much! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also the christmas devotional was off the chain! Its just all so great, all the everything!<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Ok so I love you all so much and I hope you all just take some time to really think about the ¨reason for the season¨ chirstmas is awesome and fun, but its also a time to reflect on the maravilloso birth of our Savior and the gift of eternal life, eternal joy and happiness that we can have, not only for this month or this year or this life, but forever, gracias a El. </div>

Also we get to eat chancho for christmas. Thats normally a forbidden food here, but not for christmas! </div>

Here thanksgiving doesnt really exist but they do have apple pie (but its really kinda like applesauce in a pie crust) so we got a slice of apple pie to celebrate... but then I dropped mine on the floor, but it was just a false alarm cause it landed on a plastic part so thanksgiving wasnt ruined! </div>

But this week was super great!<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We found two familias that really want to listen and learn more about the gospel. We contacted a joven in the street one day and then went to find her in her house a few days later and her dad opened the door and let us in and had both his kids come and sit to listen and we explained why we were there and our purpose and how the gospel blesses families and the dad got teary eyed and told us that this is something he wants for his kids. We invited them to church but they were confused sunday morning and thought that we were going to pick them up at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_229400362" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:45</span></span> but church starts at 9 so we went by at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_229400363" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:45</span></span> and nobody was hoome! But were gonna see them again later this week. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The other family we found is Familia GOnzales and they are young parents and they have two adddoooraabblllee little girls and they just want their kids to have some kind of belief or relationship with God cause they arent really religious at all. But they ar just super great!<br /><br />ANd also Hans, I dont know where he came from but He is just golden. He has about 245892649857 questions but thats good cause it shows that he is really learning and that he wants to know these things. Hahah also we invited him to IRU to do historia fmailiar but he was there looking for the room where we were and a profesor like told him that class was starting and so he just went into the class and he was like I dont know what happened but I was stuck in that class for like 2 hours! Hahah but he told us he learned alot so no hay problema!</div>

We have had quite a few meetings this week and last week in the IRU building.I cant really remember what exactly IRU stands for, Instituto de Religion and then some other word that I dont remember. But its really cool cause its like the first of its kind ever in the world! Its basically a huuuuge building that has like seminary classes and mission prep classes and courses about the bible and all kinds of Gospel classes, and of course we have the family history center! But some area leaders and some people came from Salt Lake to see how it is going what we need. Were like the guinea pigs for these centers! They are planning on putting one in Argentina and Brasil I think so they are watching us to see how it is going. But its great and we have alll kinds of fun activities planned for IRU!<br />

Her sister flew from spain to go to the party and we helped her get everything together. i have never seen so much candy in my whole entire life. Its ridiculous! But Jeremy is cute... well actually now he scares me cause He like just got his teeth and now he bites everything and he likes to hide under the table while we eat and sometimes he just bites my leg! And it hurts! And my instinct it to just kick him, but Im a missionary and hes a baby so no pasa nada... </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week was just full of ups and downs, but it was great as always. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br />One of our investigators that was just sooo ready for baptism (Johnny) told us that he didnt want to be baptized now- "mas adelante mas adelante " is what he kept telling us. ALso he didn't want us to visit him anymore, he said he'd tell us when we could come back... That was hard. But everyone has their agency, its a blessing but its also a frustration sometimes! But we have done all that we could and he has a testimony so now all that we can do is leave it up to him and God. Its hard for all of us but we can all learn from it. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
But where there are hard times and disappointments there are always miracles and blessings. This week we have been working with on of our new investigators and he is GOLDEN! His name is Hans (like from Frozen) and he is just the coolest guy ever. He reads whatever we give him, he just goes to church and all the activities and we dont even have to remind him- haha he actually reminds us of our lessons and appointments that we have with him! Hes just a star- were also secretly trying to marry him off with one of the girls in our ward! Hahah but first he needs to be baptized and he accepted su fecha bautismal! I hear wedding bells ringing in the distance!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week we contacted 98 people and I just love contacting people! Sometimes its awkward cause they try and kiss us and we end up playing dodge face and just showing our hands at them for them to shake. We also had one contact and it was this older lady that is always in the park and we talked with her for a bit and we shared our purpose as missionaries and then we invited he to be baptized! But she was funny cause she was this little thing and she was looking up at us with her neck bent at a 90´ angle and when we were talking about baptism she just started furiously shaking her head! "Si baptismo! SI Baptismo!" and so we invited her to be baptized in the mismo manera de Jesucristo and she was like yes yes! I am going to baptized in the river! I am going to go to Jerusalem and be baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist! Haha she was pretty excited about it and was running around saying she was going to go to Jerusalem to be baptized! I think she may have been a little crazy but she was sweet and we had a good laugh! Contacting is the best. </div>

This week we also had a talent show, which was more stressful than I could ever express. I know my mom always said that I was a really bad procrastinator, but I got nothing on Peruvians. It went a little something like this... SUrprise today is the day on the talent show and you need to be in a skit with your barrio, and your zone and have a special musical number prepared!.... Santa vaca. But somehow a miracle happened and it all went smoothly and it was funny and great. But there was about an hour or two in there where I seriously contemplated chugging some nasty peruvian water so I could just be sick in bed and not have to worry about the show! But it turned out super good! </div>

TOday for Pday we went to Cerro San Cristobal which is this giant hill where you can see like all of lima from. We took a buss up there and it was double decker so we sat up top! It was super cool but it is also kinda sad. In the Cerros is where the super poor and humble people live, also its kinda dangerous. But Lima is beautiful- and foggy. and Peruvians are the best. And it was fun! <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Haha also we met in the Centro de Lima with the district and there were so many asian people with selfie sticks. I just walked around and took pictures of them when everyone else was talking pictures of all the cool buildings and stuff! Great time! </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">ALso I forgot like 60% of what else happened this week so sorry about that. But rest assured, I am working my fanny off every day and I love it! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Welllll this week I had my first cambio! Well this is actually my third cambio but it was my first cambio with cambios. Hermana Linares left me and is not an hermana capacitadora in another zone and I have a new companion! Her name is Hermana Deppe and she is from Atlanta Georgia! Shes not from Utah!..... not that there is anything wrong with people from Utah.... there's just a lot of them... Hahah anyways shes great, super sweet, super funny, and we are already just two peas in a pod! </span><br />

I was super nervous about the cambios because I was going to have to show the ropes to someone else while learning the ropes at the same time! But cambios are a blessing. Its hard to change companions and sometimes sectors but its just another way that we have to learn and grow in the mission. Something that I learned was that I know a lot more than I thought I did! I can speak better spanish than I thought I could, I can navigate the streets better than I thought I could, and I can rely on the Lord better than I thought I could. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So this week was super chevre. Nothing super special or crazy happened, but it was great. I may have said this before but we have a meta from President to contact at least 15 personas cada día. Before that was super crazy and I had no idea how in the world we were going to lograr este meta! But I loooove contacting! Before I was always nervous because the people might say "no" so it was hard to feel motivated a hacerlo. But really one of three things happens with every contact. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
1. "No thanks" and keep walking. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
2. They are crazy and do something super strange or weird (sometimes a bit rude) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
3. They want to learn more! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
There are so many tiny milagros y bendiciones that we are seeing from this meta. We are finding more and more people to teach (our mission is the smallest in the world- if the roads werent so crazy it would take about 20 minutes to drive from one end to the other- buuut there are about 11 million people living here) we are so much more excited and animated, my confidence is growing so much, and President pormised us that when we are working in this meta our investigators would progress mas rapido! SO. MANY. BLESSINGS. FROM. OBEDIENCE. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also we are planning the baptism for our investigador, Johnny, this saturday! Johnny es lo maximo! We passed by his house one day to sacar una cita, and he opened the door and he had all of the folletos in his hands! He said said he was just about to eat lunch and read them all again! Hes the best, lots of prayers for him and that all goes well for saturday!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also there is a stake activity this saturday and im freaking out a bit. We (like half of my zone) are doing some skit and for some reason I have like one of the main speaking parts! Why? I dont really know cause I know like the least spanish out of almost everyone in the zone! I think its cause they think I am funny or something. Im not really sure why. But yeah now I have to learn lines and how to improvise in spanish, wish me luck.. or maybe you should just pray for me.</div>

So as usual, there was like 293057 other things that happened but I dont remember them right now. Oh wait! I remembered something... this sunday I had to conduct the music during the first hour.. I dodnt like that. I dont know how to conduct music! Haha also it was a surprise. We were just sitting in the pew and i wasnt paying attention and then my comp elbowed me and said they they said my name and that I had to conduct the music, and I guess i was just a bit slow to realize what she was saying and to get up there to conduct so our piano guy just started to play and I like ran up to the front and just started waving my arm around! I literally was just spelling my name with mmy hand.... Haha but then during the talk I was studying in the back of the himnario how to conduct. So by the last song I was practically a pro. </div>

I discovered (and and tasted) Parts of a chicken that I never knew existed before. By the end of the mission im gonna have the anatomy of the chicken down pat. I had chicken heart in my soup one day, and some other rubbery part of a chicken another day... im not quite sure what part it was but it was pretty interesting in taste and in how it looked. </div>

So this week one of our investigators passed away. It was super sad and we were pretty much in shock. We knocked on her (Elisa) door and her son answered and we asked how he was and he just said that he was not good cause his mom had passed away. She was a little sick before but she was getting better but then about 3 weeks ago she had a bad heart attack and then sunday she passed away. We went by later with a miembro to give her son a blessing of comfort and then we talked with him about where she is now. He knows and we know that she is ok, and he said how glad he was that right now she is still listening to the Gospel and that he can feel her love still. It was tender, but it was hard for all of us. But we know that she is in a much better place now. </div>

This week we visited Johnny more. He is super ready for baptism and had his entrevista and has a testimonio and has completely stopped drinking, but his fecha fell again cause he didnt come to church this sunday! So frustrating! ANd he is reading the Libro de Mormon and that is the hardest thing to get people to do! Soooo close with him! BUt hes great and he can do it. Its al about the faith and the work. </div>

Also H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N ! ! ! Here there is some other holiday (Like some kind of music festival day) and they people do nothing for halloween! Actually a school was protesting halloween, they were in the streets shouting and singing anti hallowen songs and handing out fliers and they had some old lady like singing and praying into a mic and there were massive speakers that they were just pushing down the streets. But for halloween we bought a bag of candies and went out and contacted people and gave the kids candies and the parents pass along cards! It was lots of fun and we found a few people that are intrested in hearing more! </div>

Sunday we had a pleasant surprise when one of our new investigators showed up to church! His name is RIcardo and he lives with his wife and 2 sons (they are like grown) but we just had one lesson with them about a week ago and they said they were really sure when we could come back and teach them again because they are busy alot (sometimes when people say this they just dont want us to come back) but we called him a few times during the week to try and get a cita, but nothing. BUt then he was in the Capillia sunday and he stayed all therr hours and really enjoyed it, and participated in all the classes. SUuuper great!<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<br />Haha this is a bit funny, so we got a reference from the offices for us to contact. So we went and we found the house and rang the bell and we were waiting and waiting and then guess who came to the door... None other than our- a little bit too friendly- neighborhood borracho! But it was funny cause he did not recognize or remember us from the past two times he saw us (But i mean he was pretty plastered then...) but yeah so we have a cita to go back and teach him another day. Hahah but its funny cause he already has the first two folletos from when we saw him in his state of drunkeness, he just doesnt remember. </div>

Oh also this week we had pday on thursday because thursday we went to the TEEMMMPLEE! I love the temple. I love the temple. I love the tempe. Its the best place on earth. It was great, but like x12348990. You should all just go to the temple. Go and feel the calm and peace, the love of our Heavenly Father and to receive the blessings that HE has in store for all of us. </div>

Well that all folks- not really there is like 5082395 other things that happened this week but im a bit lazy (probably cause im getting fat)- Ill save all the really good stories for later ( like for 14 months later cause YO CUMPLÍ 4 MESES! but it feels like a lot longer that that- and a lot shorter at the same time. Its weird..) </div>

Anyways I Love this quote from Elder M. Russell Ballard and its something that i've thought alot about this week because it is true. THis Gospel is for everyone- for everyone who has the desire to follow in Christ's footsteps, not just for this life but for the eternities. <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">"Because I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He loves me, I find the courage to repent and to strive to be what He would want me to be. I know this knowledge can do the same for you, if you want it to- now, and forever"</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week was a blur, and also the space bar on this computer is super crazy so sorry if I am lacking spaces in this post!</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So I'll explain about the borrachos, beans, birthdays and blessings that happened this week. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
SO first, los borrachos. The Drunks. SO like weeks ago we were teaching someone in the street (Nilo- where he works) and some borracho came up and started jabbering away. Yeah well It was the same guy again. So one night we were outside someones house waiting for them and this guy crossed the street to talk to us. He started asking us where we lived before this life and we told him that we lived with Heavenly Father and then he asked some other question and started telling us that we were pretty but we need to learn what we are saying and teaching. We tried to end the conversation but he just kept going and going and then he started pointing down the street saying "that's where I live, you need to come visit me" But then he said "But not for me, you need to visit my son. He needs to get married, you need to marry him" WHHAAT. SO then I was like No thanks I'm good. He kept saying "He needs to get married, I want grandkids..." Oh no... SO then we referred him and his son to the the church and practically ran away! Dang Borrachos. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Here beans aren't super common so people get pretty excited when there are beans for a meal. SO we went over to a members house saturday to cook for them, but they wanted to eat american food. Really we don't have special food in the US, its pretty much all from other countries. But we thought about it and we decided to make chili cheese dogs! And we made them with fréjoles! We made the chili and cut up some almost cheese (real yummy cheese here is hard to find and kinda expensive) The members, Bryan and Sisi, were super excited about the chili with beans! Hahaha but it was all good and yummy! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week Hermana Correa had her 23rd birthday. Birthdays here are a little different, and a little messy. So after we sing the birthday person takes a bite out of the whole cake, but normally what happens is when they are about to bite the cake someone just shoves their face in it. Also if it is your birthday you can expect to have eggs smashed on your head and if you are lucky you get a bag of flour to top it all off! Hermana Correa was lucky. But birthdays are fun!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
And blessings. We have so many blessings in our lives that we don't even realize. And there are so many blessings that our Heavenly Father has in store for us, all we really need to do it ask with faith and then act on our faith doing the things that have been asked of us from our Heavenly Father. Here in the mission I have seen so many blessings in my life and in the lives of others. Sometimes we thing that it is hard to act, to keep the commandments and do the things that we should. But really its simple have faith and act on your faith. If we have fear recognize it and replace it with faith. If we have fear we don't have faith, if we have faith we don't have fear. This week we had so many blessings. We found 4 new investigators who are open to hearing this gospel and we have been able to work with more and more people. Faith and action are the keys that everyone possesses to open the doors of heaven to receive every blessing the God has in store for us. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week was great as always. And I'm serious when I say all the weeks are great. They are hard and there are tough times during the week but at the end of the day its what I learned from the hard times that are important. And at the end of the day I don't remember all the things that made me a little agitated or frustrated, I remember all the tiny milagros (miracles) that I saw, all the people that I talked to and all the fun times and funnny things that happened. So yeah there are no bad days here, tough moments a veces (at times), but never a bad day!</span></span></span><br />

This week was a little jumbled up cause one of the hermanas in the trio that lives kinda with us has been having health problems so we have been helping her a lot. One of the hermanas has been with us so we are in a trio when she was at the doctor. But it was fun.<br />
<br />
We are working a lot with Carmen and the thing is with her, she knows everything is true, she has a testimony and wants to be baptized but she has to wait for her not-husband to finish getting divorced so they can get married. And here that takes a long while. But we are trying to get in touch her son because her grandson (Enzo) is suuuper interested in the church. He is only 9 but he is the dang cutest. We gave him one of those picture books with alll the stories from the book of mormon in it and he is always reading it and is always asking us if he can pray and is always excited for sundays cause he wants to go to church. Hes a little golden boy. </div>

Also this week we had intercambios. I was with Hermana Bruns in our sector. It was cool and it helped me a lot with just having to know where people lived and being able to explain who people are and what their story is to another person, because its most likely that that is what is going to happen this cambio (transfer). But I feel good about it. </div>

Also today one of the girls from the ward is leaving for her mission! Antonela Chavez! She is just the funnest person that there ever was. She is going to the Sao Palo Interlagos mission so she might see Justine or Mykenna in the CTM! Also yesterday was the birthday of Ximena (She is waiting for her mission papers) and she is just the greatest. We had a Noche de Hogar with them and then we all went around the room and shared our wishes for her for her birthday. Haha but it is funny cause whenever I speak they always take a video of me! Que pena! But the ward here is suuper great and close knit and always willing to help us out. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Ahhh yeah I love Peru, I love the Mission, i love this ward, I love this gospel! I wish you all could just be here with me and see and experience all the thing that I see and experience every day. I've come to the conclusion that it is just about impossible to share all my feelings and experiences and just all that is happening here with you all! But I try! Just know that there are miracles in this mission, this gospel is true and that Jesus is the Christ. God is our loving Father in Heaven and He has a plan for us and that we can live with Him otra vez (once again) and have eternal families! That's my goal and what I am working toward every day. For me and for the people I am serving here in Lima !</div>

Well we are working with a new investigator, Lilia. She is a fun little lady. She really likes to talk, but that's fun. The people here are always talking and will tell you their whole life story and all of their problems and whats going on with their dog, and neighbors, and chisme (gossip), and everything in between if you let them. Its fun, I learn new things every day. But yeah, Lilia is great and wants to learn more about the church, yay! </div>

SO we are working more with contacting and in our zone meeting wednesday we had like 5 minutes to go out in the street and contact. SO we went and we talked to this lady and she was real sweet and was just talkin talkin talkin! SO we told he about the church and got her datos (digits, phone number) but then she started talking about her son (after she asked how old I was..) and she kept saying that ¨El es muy Churrrro¨, ¨´Churrrrisimo!¨ haha Churro is a food and it also means like reaaly good looking or handsome. She was really trying to set me up with her son! Que pena (How embarrassing)...</div>

Also I learned a thing or two from a reeealy less active member we found this week. First I learned that we (as members) need to always remember that people are watching us. People notice our actions, good and bad. This man stopped going to church because he saw members not living in accordance to their baptismal covenants and not living in a Christlike way. I saw this as an invitation for us members to always strive to be better and strive to be a Christlike example. Also the second thing I learned from him was about all the secret combinations of the united states.... he was a bit anti-United States. It was funny cause he pulled out a dollar bill with all kinds of notes and things circled and dotted lines and a national geographic magazine about mysteries or something like that. He told me all about Obama and the Masons and a bunch of other stuff. That was a fun time. </div>

Also this week was super for Luis! He went to a JAS (Young Single Adult) dance and made some friends, went to church, and we had a suuuper great noche de hogar with them and a bunch of members from the ward. OH man its great for him, he needed support and friends from the church, so so important! Also his mom, Elizabeth, she is doing great also. But seriously I can't express how important it is to have support from the members. Really if investigators don't have the support and fellowship from the members its super hard for them to stay active cause they are really stepping into a new world and its scary. But the members here have been great. </div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Also this sunday was the Primary program and it was just too dang cute! And just like home, there was the little rascals that shouted the words and it was just too good. Also 3 of our investigators were at church, some menos activos, and like 2 new people that are intrested was just there, so were gonna follow up with them this week! </span></span></div>
