Lil divis this week with hermana Stanley's old comps. Made me heart happy. And also grateful. 
These incredible missionaries who are here against literally all odds. As they were telling me their stories, the things they had been through I couldn't help but feel so so incredibly grateful for the life I was so privileged to have :).

This week was so good and we saw so many miracles! My favorite was having all the youth we are teaching sprint into the chapel so they wouldn't be late. Now we're just crossing our fingers and toes that their parents will give them permission to be baptized. Pray for damian and the twins adrian and adriana!! 

this is my favorite old lady on planet earth. Last time I saw her she was so so unhappy. She's been in a wheelchair for so long, and would just sleep in her wheelchair cuz moving hurt so bad. Antonia was married when she was really young and her son doesn't care about her. She loves to watch the young people dance. And she is always worried we are going to catch a cold. She didn't remember me at first, but as I talked to her and pushed her wheelchair down the street she started to remember. 
I never did anything huge for her.
We didn't fix her roof.
We didn't help her install a toilet in her cinderblock house
We were never able to help her make a covenant with God.
But I pushed that little old lady in her wheelchair almost every day for 3 months to the corner so she could hail a taxi and very slowly and uncomfortably sit down to catch a ride to the mercado where she would sit all day to eat her meager lunch.
I think it's what Jesus would do too. 

cutest lil squad :) hermana robalino was a gem

Cutie friends, one is my first found and baptized friend and the other is her best friend prepping to go on a mission!!
I'm excited to see what this transfer brings. Just 3 left 🤯and then I'll be able to drive the night away with 1D blaring as loud as I want.
But it's definetly gonna hurt to say goodbye to the ratchet music that I fall asleep to every night <3

Love you all. Jesus loves you too. 
Hey hermana pajaro omg cambios  (3 John 1:13-14)

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...
