Milagros, Lessons, And A Little Embarrassment

Buenos días!
I hope you are all doing well, and this week was everything you needed it to be!
I can't even believe that it's already día de preparación again—time is going by so fast!
This week was amazing—so many milagros!

The first part of this week was pretty slow. We have had quite a few stomach issues, but they have all resolved. That meant we were home quite a bit. On Tuesday, the only thing we were able to go to was ward council, which was super weird. I was sitting there and realized that these people actually don't know who I am, and I'm really sitting in a random ward in Perú with these people I don't really know but adore with my whole heart.

Hermana Porter, our mission president’s wife, accompanied us on Wednesday for two hours. We visited the mother of our most recent convert, Ricardo. It was the sweetest lesson. She just said how grateful she was that Ricardo had found our church and how much she has seen him grow and change. It is truly a testimony to me of how the Savior truly does change lives if we will let Him.

I love being a missionary, but something I had to learn this week is that our job is to share the good news of Jesus Christ—that He lives, He loves, His church has been restored. The sad part is that many don't accept Him, and that's the most heartbreaking thing—to see them recognize the truth and still turn away.

Anyways... we left our keys in our house and handed out little Jesus cards for about three hours until someone with keys let us back in.

We had stake conference, which was amazing! The Spirit was so strong... I know I still don't know Spanish when my mission president calls me out in front of our entire stake in the middle of his talk... that was a little embarrassing.

Last night, we put four people on date for baptism. This familia is amazing! The Spirit is so strong in their lessons, and it's truly amazing to see them so excited about learning the gospel.

Know that I love you all! Know that Jesus loves you, and He's got you!

PERÚ

So I made it to Perú, and genuinely I love it here so much! I love the people, the city, the dogs—I just do. I was anticipating not to, and I'm not sure why. But this week has been amazing. God truly works miracles, He still moves mountains, and He loves so unconditionally. I don't have much time, and I'll fill you all in more next week, but know I carry you all in my heart as I walk around Perú! Hermana Lefler

Would You Go?

Ahhhh hello all!! This week flew by, and was so full of miracles! We had zone conference this week, which was amazing! We talked about finding the one and how far we would go to find the one. If the Lord asked you to go to the moon, would you go? This had me thinking a lot about my relationship with the Savior — how far would I go... apparently Perú... but how in tune am I with the Spirit to be led and find the people that the Lord has been preparing... I just have this little scripture I want to share. It's Alma 22:18: “O God,” he prayed, “Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee." I love this last part... I will give away all my sins to know thee... to know the Savior... to know His heart... to KNOW HIM. We have the opportunity to know Him if we will just turn our sins, our burdens, our hearts over to Him. Don't you want to know Him? That's m...
