6.6 Jesus Loves you…baptism?



Don't have much time but want to say God loves me and you and peru (hehe rhymes) 




We spent August 15 (arequipa day) in the streets with all the missionaries of arequipa, inviting everyone to come to church. Ended up contacting 400 people which is rad, not sure how many of them were drunk but hey they at least have had contact with missionaries now! One guy sent us a video after of his cats who talk to ghosts so that's always a plus. 

Got transfer news and we are staying here which is good cuz I love hermana de Hoyos but also hard cuz this area is *so* small but I'm finding joy in the journey hehe. 

Found a car with a hat. Yayayay


Más arequipa 


Squeezing people in for church. I think that's probably how jesus likes it, let's just get as many in as we can. 

Invited a bunch of friends to get baptized this week. They all accepted. One of them ended up to live in a diff ward, one of them ghosted us for Sunday and is now living arequipa, one of em doesn't speak (literally) one of them we knocked and he was super drunk, and then one of them had to take his dog to the hospital. The annoying thing is, God has prepared them. Like they have been doing so good, but the adversary has been preparing too, so that's rough. We're gonna work hard though cuz I know God has good things in store for them.

6.9 All I want is to dry my clothes in a dryer

This week was an absolute whirlwind. Like i feel like pday was yesterday but last tuesday was like at least a month ago. TIME IS SO WEIRD ON THE MISH but bueno.  Ill be so honest my camera roll right now is full of screenshots of pme (my missionary scheduling app) and random.phone numbers im supposed to remember so there might not be much content...props to.hermana de hoyos for actually taking photos.  We're finally starting to see some progress here, we didnt even have a day this week with more than an hour of finding (which is huuuuge cuz usually We're knocking and calling for a good 3 or 4 hours). It makes me so joyous and also.worried that prez is gonna boot me out of here next transfer which would be so emo because there are some mega cool people we have progressing!  I thought i was getting less tired but i guess not because i started saying comp prayer the other day to start our study and fell asleep mid oracion so that was embarrassing. My comp just stared at me t...

6.11 Better than disneyland

Image
I am so bad at writing emails which is so lame I'm sorry I really don't do Peru justicia.  This week was like disneyland for me. We got to go to the temple.  I love God's house. He really has such good interior design style. And holy moly being able to participate in an endowment (a special like learning ordinance) IN SPANISH I was giddy. I'm a dork I know.  BUT anyways I was very happy. Speaking of happy things. Valentina got baptized this week. My heart was marshmellowy, she bore her testimony and said she couldn't be more grateful for the example we as missionaries have given her. Best compliment in the world. We asked her how she felt after and she Goes "normal". Ay que te pasa but her brother wants to learn more now because of her :)) My poor comp was DYING last week so we did an emergency division and she went to independencia with the hermana leader who threw up in district council...and all the elders were coughing...so they all were giving each ot...

3.1 Best Ways to Dissapoint Peruvians

I'm writing this email in my casa en PERU!!! LOCO. I still can't really believe I'm here haha!  I don't have much to say, but we have a great ffa program lined up. *name that film* But seriously my mind is un poco fried and so it's difícil to even remember what happened since a week ago I was in Ohio.  But to start I need to tell you how gringo i feel. I want to speak Spanish so BAD with the ward and especially my cutie compañera hma Bautista. Ella es de la Republica Dominicana!!!! My heart!!! She's so fun and cool and walks into traffic like it's nothing. And I am oblivious to traffic, am a head taller than everyone, and stand around like a dunce when someone asks me a question. I totally understand what people are saying until they ask me something simple like where are you from and all of a sudden I have yogurt for brains (which you drink here BTW. I've been doing that forever tho since I always forgot spoons for my lunch) Hence the first reason I dis...
