It's jinxed to talk about your investigators. :)‏

Hi everyone!! This week was great! On Monday we went to Chili's and ate hamburgers. I enjoyed it thoroughly. On Wednesday we went to the temple. It was my  comp's birthday so we hung out there and did a session. It was nice to actually enter and do some work! and guess what the best part was... I understood the entire thing!!!! I was very happy!! :) I felt at home in the temple and it was very hard to leave but my comp and I were hungry and Subway was calling.... :) I love the temple, as I have said it a thousand times, (I'll never get tired of saying it) the temple is the House of God. He walks those halls and He is there. I KNOW it! I'm grateful that I had the small opportunity to be in His house and I hope that I can be there again soon! I love that place so much! 

The rest of the week was normal! We worked super hard. As you can see from my title I have recently decided that it is bad luck to talk about my investigators because every time I talk about them, something happens... but, I will say that we have two baptismal dates and we are working SUPER hard. One was a woman who contacted us in the street and the only way we've been able to talk to her since was through cellular. but she accepted a date and had an interview! MIRACLE!!!! 

That's all for this week... Oh, and just so you all know, This next week i'll be writing on Tuesday not Monday just so you know... This is the first time that we have ever switched Pday... it's weird... but yeah. :) have a great week!!!! Love you all!

no tengo idea de que debo decir....‏

Hi all. This was a good week! Sadly our fechas all fell. I'm kinda annoyed but it's all good because God has a plan! He put in our path three or four new investigators that can be baptized this month!!They are pretty cool. 

Nothing really happened this week, sorry I also don't have pictures...  I forgot the adapter... :D but, a cool thing is that we had a lesson with this family and we taught them about church attendance. I am very grateful that I grew up going to church every week.  And that I learned at a young age how important it is to stay close to the Spirit and trust in the Lord. I was reading today in Alma 38: 2. Alma says to his son how proud he was that his son learned to trust the Lord in his youth. and that's the same with us. We have to learn to trust in the Lord, especially when we're young. I learned how to trust and listen to the Lord through going to church, reading my scriptures, praying, and attending seminary and institute. We need to learn to  trust in the Lord and in His plan. I'm grateful for His love and for the love of my Savior.. 

Well that's it for this week. On Wednesday my comp and I are going to the temple to celebrate our birthdays! That'll be awesome!!! 

Love you!!! Don't die of heat stroke!

Let Freedom Ring!!!!!!!!!!!!‏  

Hello My fellow Patriots!!! (not the NFL team, please!!) 

Happy Fourth of July! I'm sorry that I cannot be there enjoying the warm weather, hot dogs, fireworks, watermelon, and ice cream. But do know that I will be celebrating the freedom on top of my roof tonight with sparklers and lemonade.... :) I've realized this week how blessed I am to have been born in such a country as the USA. It truly is the Promised Land and God has blessed us with so much! We really can't and won't realize it until we leave it and see what others go through in the world. I love Perú and I have learned so much and I am truly grateful for my heritage!!

This week was great! We got to meet our new president! He is super short but awesome. His wife is awesome too! They have three kids here as well. One girl and two boys. They are pretty cool. It was interesting to get to know them. Pres. Godfrey told us up front that his first priority is his family and then the Lord and then us. That was interesting to me. I'm glad that He can take time to take care of his family. 

We took out to baptismal dates this week. one for this Saturday and one for the 23rd. We also have 3 more that could be baptized this month!!! We had our monthly goal meeting for Comas and We put the goal of 21 baptisms in July (as a zone).  

My Comp and I are doing good. We are working super hard and we are excited to see what happens!!! She's awesome and she has a lot of patience for me. I am really grateful that I have this time with her! Well I better get going! Have a great night blowing things up!!! I love you all!!! Be proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!
