HEY YALL
I don't have a ton to say this week but HEAVENLY FATHER HAS A PLAN. Always listen to the promptings of the Spirit. He will never lead you to do something wrong.
We went to the baptism of the cutest little girl this week in the ward next to us and she wants to be a missionary so bad!! Its so cute!!
I just want yall to know that even when we don't know the reasons, everything has a purpose and Heavenly Father teaches us alot through Trials.
I love you all!!
Have a good week

1-DIVISIONES!! Our sister leaders are the BOMB. They were killer sports and slept on the hard floor of our room :)
2-When the Elders tell you to look at the text they just sent you and that's how you found out that the prophet died. (Featuring our SUPER COOL PHONE its so high tech lol)
Happy New Year Y'all!!
I hope you all had an awesome blast partying your way into 2018! Because I know the peruvians did (Fireworks for 2 hours at night--STRAIGHT way fun)
They also wear a TON of yellow for the new year because yellow is the color of prosperity. very interesting.
So this week we set A TON of goals as a companionship to just keep being the best missionaries we can be! and we have seen alot of the fruits of those goals this week! We hope to keep seeing many miracles and all that other good stuff!
I wanted to share one thing that our mission president had us to at the last Zone Conference that I thought was a cool way to set goals for the new year.
DEJAR-CONTINUAR-EMPEZAR
or in English
STOP- CONTINUE- START
He had us list out all the stuff we need to stop doing, all the stuff we need to keep doing and all the stuff we have to START doing. It really helped us to organize our goals and understand how we can improve.
It was a really good week! I'm really trying everyday to improve and help these people the best I can.
I love y'all and I hope you have a good week this week and an awesome start to the new year
Until we meet again next P-day

Here is a little Mashup of fotos from the past few weeks.
Ya got me sacrificing me companion to who knows but it was fun to take the foto. Us at the Zone Conference with the cool hats the mission president and his wife gave us for Christmas. Ya got us fist bumping because we´re basically Shawn and Gus from psych. Then you got a cute foto of us pretending to teach a family of cactus because these are the things you do when you're a missionary and you realized you haven't taken any pictures from the week haha. I love y'all
Hey y'all!!
I hope you have all had a Merry Christmas!! Its been a good week. We had like a million Christmas activities this week. Well just two but they were SO FUN!!!!! We tried to do an awesome thing with floating lanterns to LIGHT THE WORLD and we spent forever making the lanterns and WE WERE SO PUMPED. We had a mini concert with the stake and it was a blast! I sang O Holy Night with Elder Ujifusa. Ill try and get yall the video of that because it was WAY GOOD. Cant lie to you. Its good stuff. And then after that we tried out the lanterns and they all caught on fire and it didn't work and we all got super sad. But it was still good.
We then had another ward activity and we did a talent show. IT WAS SO COOL!! They did some awesome traditional dances and the nativity! It was super fun.
Christmas was really good. We just kind of chilled today and talked to the family:)
I love yall so much.
Im grateful that I can be out here in the work of the Lord. I love to be out here in the work of the Lord :)
Have a great Christmas I love you all
Until next P-day

Hey y'all this week was good. We did ALOT. We visited soooooo many people. I don't think I've ever talked to so many people haha. We are working so hard with our investigators, alot of them are all having problems getting permission from their parents to be baptized :( but they are all so great! Hermana Wilson and I are working SO HARD. We have alot of fun. We talk to everyone we meet about NAVIDAD. WE are so pumped for Christmas!! In this time, especially with Light the World, the people are a whole lot more open to talking to us. We've met some SUPER awesome people This week was a very normal mission week haha.
Hard work, lots of prayers, lots of crying. All that fun stuff!
But I really do love being a missionary!!
We have seen so many miracles. Christmas Miracles!!!
I hope you all have a great week!! HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS

The mom of hermana wilson sent us hot chocolate. WE WERE SO HAPPY
Hola!! I hope y'all are doing well!!
This week was ok! We had a MULTIZONE CONFERENCE in Tacna and it was our Christmas themed one. Yall it was so FUN!! We did these really funny sketches and it was HILARIOUS. Everyone imitated our mission president and there were so many jokes about how hes addicted to coco-cola. (yall he really is. he drinks so many everyday).
It was also super spiritual and got us all pumped for christmas and to work out here. We have some new goals as a mission and they got us all excited to get out there and work!
The rest of the week we worked hard!!
When we were out with a member, a dog came out of no where and bit my foot and then ran away. So that was a fun experience but it was all good.
We have seen so many miracles and the people are being a whole lot more open. We start off every conversation with Christmas. We've gotten some mixed responses but most people have been so open. I love this time of year, especially as a missionary.
Also today we woke up at 4 to go and HIKE as a district and it was so fun!!! We had a blast. Worth getting up at 4 haha.
I love yall so much thank you for your support and love.
Keep doing awesome things.
Have a good week
Until we meet again next p-day

Hola mi familia!! How are y'all? ITS DECEMBER YALL. I've been out for 6 months like what is this. 1/3 of my mission over?? No :(
This week was CRAZY but so good.
We got a lot of referrals from the ward and we have found some people that are SO prepared to hear this gospel.
I love being with Hermana Wilson! We have a lot of fun together and we´re working really hard to help these people.
Alright fun stories from the week.
So I was showering right, all normal. When the sink fell off the wall and onto the floor about 2 inches from my feet. It was super scary but you know that's the life here in Peru.
Also last night, since I've been having a little trouble sleeping. I was laying there at 1 in the morning when Hermana Wilson started praying out loud in her sleep. Loud and clear. It was so funny haha. Sleep praying is a thing haha.
I hope you all had a great week!
I am loving it out here in the Lord´s vineyard.
I also loved the Christmas Devtional last night so If you havent seen it, you should.
This time of year is a great time to serve our fellow men and in the process of doing that we´ll be serving our Heavenly Father.
I love you all so much!!
Until we meet again next P-day

FOTOS ummm
This computer doesn't want to accept my camera :( Until next week with the fotos
Y'all this week just like every other week as a missionary was an ADVENTURE. We are working real hard in this area to find those that are prepared to recieve this gospel! I have never talked to so many people also im becoming a pro at challenging people for baptism in the street which is a scary thing to do but pretty much every one has said they would think about getting baptized (the people here are so open and humble and I LOVE IT).
Its still super hard but I'm working through it all, Heavenly Father gives us challenges and trials to bring us closer to Him. I testify that this is true. That we have a loving Father in Heaven who is always willing to bless us even if its in ways we don't really expect.
Guys we had the most beautiful baptism this week. The mom of Stefania is a less active member and I think it really helped her to see her daughter making these changes in her life and it was just the sweetest baptismal service. I loved the opportunity I had to be there <3 The Spirit was really really strong.
This gospel changes lives and brings REAL long lasting HAPPINESS to the lives of the people who live the principles of this gospel.
I love being a representative of our Savior Jesus Christ and everyday I grow closer and closer to Him. I wouldn't be able to do anything without Him by my side.
Y'all I love y'all
I know sometimes this life is HARD, BUT KEEP GOING Keep praying and keep working hard :)
God loves yall
Have a good week
Until we meet again next P-day

1-YALL LOOK AT THIS HUGE LADYBUG. featuring Inka Kola. The soda of Peru that I sadly don't like very much :/ and everyone else LOVES
2-Bautismo de Sthefania <3
3-When we got to the church the morning of the baptism, the baptismal font was full with water from the baptism they had almost a month ago. The water for the baptism of Stefania was so cold because there wasn't time to fill up the font AND heat the water up.
4- Me and all the zone eating at our BBQ we had.
