That One Time When They All Left Me

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 more power than I think we realize.

I find myself most nights just thanking Heavenly Father for this life... there aren't many words, I'm just grateful.

Thank you all for the support and love!

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...
