7.4 I'm sick of mosquitos

The elderes sent out our pday plans which includes playing hide and seek. I- 

Yeah. 

this wall is like Miley Cyrus butterfly fly away vibes. Just thought you should know. Anyways. 
HEYYY how are you all? Someone asked me how long I've been a missionary and I was like oh like 7 months even though I'm literally almost at 11. I'm in denial I think so I'm glad I still have much time to do the Lords work here!!


This cat would not leave me lone in the lesson I was like ok thank you. Anyways this duper cute girl is named Bri and she's 11 and she's gonna get baptized and her sister is Daniella and her boyfriend was like "so how can I get baptized too" we were like. Oh perfect!!! Lots of tender mercies yesterday. 


Like this cute family who made us literal CHURROS AND STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM IN THEIR BOUJEE HOUSE. I've never been so happy to be in a rich area. 


We had zone conference and it was like Christmas for me. And an elder played the piano so I didn't even have to and wow. God was good. And I got to see all my favorite people and I was just skipping around w gozo. The best thing about the mission (other than literally everything being about Jesus and it changing you into a better person) is like all these people who are my FAVORITE (but also like they're kinda assigned to be my friends so hopefully they will still be mis amigos when we are irl lol)

^I saw my HIJA primogénito jijiji it was so joyful and I was just omg I love her. She just is LIGHT and helped our little friend get baptized who is 87 and I was so joy. 
Hes so presh. We found him when we were out walking one day. He was hanging out on his porch and I just started chatting with him. We came back and he bought us coke and oreos and is just so sweety pie. He forgets like everything but he does know the prophet is 100 years old. I think he's hoping to beat him.


Went in the boonies of our area. It's so pretty. The world is so pretty. God is SO GOOD. 

I learned so so much at zone conference. Prez talked a lot about the things we can do to be diligent missionaries and it was just exactly what I needed. Hermana Chipman talked about hope. It was awesome. Anyways love you all.

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

Image
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...
