Youre going to do so good

They need you
God needs you there
I love you so much

Thats for you and me this week. 

^^one of my favorite people sent me this. How did I get so lucky to have God bless me so good with these people I adore!?!


sun is setting on my time in tacna (cliche but true). Lowkey thought id be finishing my mission here but God and prezi had other ideas. 


I'm headed to ILO to finish these last two transfers out with hna garzon again (could I be luckier?!!)
It's been a mixed bag of emotions thinking about leaving.
Again.
Why do goodbyes hurt so much? 
I always think they'll get easier. And they don't. It's like I have to breakup with my zone and my district and my comps and my area all at once. Worst breakup ever. And I can't even use it as an excuse to stay home and eat ice cream all day. So unfair. 
had some awesome divis this week with some hermanas I just adore. 

these little girls follow us around the neighborhood when we teach lessons and go door contacting. Sort of helpful because people feel bad being mean...not so helpful because they've been taught the doctrine of christ like 8 times and they interrupt the people every single time we ask them questions. Ha.

love this pup he follows us around everywhere. Ugh i just love being a missionary for the missionary joys.

I think God wants me to try something new to finish this strong.
Ive done family ward in parachico
Ive done the view of misti straight up a hill en alto selva alegre 
Ive done the richy rich and rolling fields of Mirador
And I got to do my desert hills of tacna
Now ive gotta go figure out how to give 100% hermana Barker to the coast town of ilo. 
Terrified? Yes. I don't know why. But its a change and thats scary and exciting and beautiful. 
Im just gonna miss this place. 
But i know im gonna fall in love all over again in Ilo...i tend to do that :)

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...
