Your girl here in Mangomarca has survived her first week being a trainer! There aren't many things to say... mostly just that I'm grateful for the knowledge of a loving Heavenly Father. He knows us better than we will ever know. I'm grateful for the heart that He has given me... that I find joy in the work... that I love these people... because if I didn't have that... well, things would be a lot harder. This week I have learned so much about trusting the Lord, that this is His work, that He is in every detail. There is no way I could do this work without His strength. It is His power that helps my Spanish, it is His power that keeps me healthy, it is His Spirit that touches people's hearts and heals their souls. There are some lyrics to a song that I listened to this week that just hit home... I will stand as a witness of God. I will carry His love in my heart. I will serve, I will pray. I will walk in His ways Till the work that He gave me is done. I didn't si...

So transfers are happening again... have no idea how that happened so fast... I am the only hermana staying in Mangomarca... I am happy to stay but sad to see them all leave. My new compañera is new... Hermana Guerra... I am very excited and also terrified, so pray for your girl. We had Hermana Carmen's baptism on Friday, which was just so pure and lovely. We started teaching her a week into this transfer, and it's been a blessing to see her change her life. I am always in awe and amazement at the amount of love I feel for these people. Their covenants with the Savior are a reminder of how special they are; they are a gift that should be cherished and held close to one's heart. I, like everyone else, loved General Conference. I came away with such a grateful heart and feel an abundance of gratitude to be able to be one of the Lord's missionaries at this time. To be able to testify that Jesús Christ lives. He lives for you. He is your Savior and your Redeemer. That has m...

Hello, happy April! So today was P-day because we got to go to the temple! That was the best thing of my life! Did my first endowment in Spanish and it's just as beautiful as English. I'm truly grateful for the temple, the sacredness of the temple is so out of the ordinary for Perú, it was a need for sure. We did a little servicio and got to hike up a cerro... don’t have the best picture but the view was to die for! Walter #1 We are teaching a man named Walter whose wife and son are both members of the church. He has felt a very large pull to follow their examples and be baptized. The lessons in their home are some of my favorites, he is always very grateful for the lessons we have and the spirit that we bring into their home. When we were talking about baptism, we asked him if Jesús was here right now and asked you to be baptized, what would you say... we all sat there for what felt like a year, it was really only ten seconds... but the spirit was tangible when he said yes.
