6/25/18 - So Cute

This week was great! We baptized Daniel and Dayana Palomaris. They are kids of a menos activo member and they are so amazing. I've never felt so much love for an investigator/baptism. She''s 9 and she's just so cute and she just LOVES the church and God and Christ. I help her with her homework for English and I don't even understand it - no wonder no one speaks English well here. The teachers don't even know it. The water was FREEZING but it was all good - it was just so cute. 

We also baptized Dila. Shes bien buena. Her husband is a really hard man but after her baptism he said he is going to follow her and be baptized!! Actions speak louder than words!

Peru lost to France so they are out of the World Cup. Que triste but we knew from the beginning that we weren't going to win. It just hurts to see it end so soon. However, we didn't let our feelings get too hurt and we have a tour of 2 venezolanos, They came to church Sunday and are gonna get baptized so not all was lost!! 

Our zone is getting a big chunk taken out of it because a new stake is being created!! The work is advancing!!! I love this work! It's fun to think that my first converts will be part of this new stake. I love how the work will go forth -we can do it! The church is true. It's crazy to think I'm in my last transfer, cambios son hoy but its okay I gotta make the most of it!!!

Love,

6/18/18 - Life is Good

This week was really great. As a mission council we got to go to the molina and hear a conference by Elder Godoy, our old Presidente of the area and now he's a General Authority Seventy. It was amazing. He's super super smart and he talked a lot about how we can use the atonement to make any weakness a strength. Whether it's patience or learning Spanish or love or testimony - we can use it to be better than we could ever be by ourselves. That's where the grace of Christ comes in. It was amazing.

All in all todo tranquilo. We have 2 baptisms planned for this week - the family Palomaris. They are 2 kids and their dad is a member but is living with his "wife" and they aren't married. Their grandparents are members too and they LOVE us. They are just sooooo cute! They are 9 and 14 years old. Diana is 9 and she is just adorable. She's like a little minnion, man i love them. Life is good. I'll see you all soon.

Love,
