Week 49

Wow this week went by suuuuper fast!! we´ve been sharing many of the amazing messages from conference and inviting them to watch all of the sessions online. I´ve already been applying a lot of what the leaders talked about and have seen blessings from their inspired messages!! its been awesome.
Tried leche de tigre at the bishop´s house after we helped him at his lavanderia. soooo good! the juice part is the best, picante!! and with canchitas. ahh so tasty!! 

Mi ¨hijita¨ and I have been tracking down old investigators and contact lists from other missionaries in our area book to find new investigators. going well, cleaning out the binder little by little. training´s going well, we´re both learning and growing a lot together. she´s awesome and we make a great team! working hard in monserrate 2:) 
Jose and Eduardo are both doing really well. we had a fhe with Eduardo and his grandmother that he planned for one of his goals for Faith In God. 

Our lesson with Jonathan and his mom Diana went really well, but they weren´t home when we went to pick them up for church yesterday:( I have no idea what happened, they seemed really interested in going.

Vanessa & Jose. Still visiting them, but I feel like there´s no real progress:( Jose is still playign fútbol on sundays and Vanessa falls asleep while we teach cause her twins and toddler are up all night.

Lili, Carmen, and Ower. So much potential! they each have a BoM that we invited them to read and pray to know if its true. but they weren´t there yesterday, so we don´t know how it went:( aaand they had a visitor from lima yesterday and couldn´t make it to church ahhh.

Flavia & Eida (less-actives) that we´ve been visiting came to church yesterday!! 

Had a really good zone training on Friday and our zone has the goal of 8 baptisms and 12 almas rescatas for the month of April. 

We had an intercambio from Friday night to Saturday night with our sister training leaders. hna. sosa went to their area with hermana bedoya and hna. allred came to my area. it was great! kinda fun switching things up for a little bit and seeing how I can improve training, teaching, etc. we had a super weird experience with Cesar that I´ll tell you about one day...it was strange. but we´re ok, just a little shook-up. 
Taught the Malca family yesterday!! finally!! we´ve tried visiting them many times before, but the mom´s always working and its hard to find everyone together. but it went really well and I´m excited to see what will happen! 

The bishopric announced yesterday that the sudamerica area leaders have asked each family in the ward to make tonight´s fhe Book of Mormon themed and to make the goal of reading it every day for at least 15 minutes to finish it by the end of the year. so we´re gonna be focusing a lot on the goal too when we go to visit less-active families. 

Today is hermana steckler´s 20th birthday!! wahoo:) we came over to their apartment this morning after our studies and she opened up all of her 3 packages from home. about half the amount of clothes that we were told to bring on the mission.haha we´re gonna all have lunch together as a district in a member´s house and I´m not really sure after. but I´m sure it´ll be great fun!! there´s a secret celebratory fhe at the bishop´s house tonight that she has no clue about. a whole ton of people are coming over and she´ll be oh so surprised. some tres leches cake and we can call it a day!! transfer calls are next week and I´d be shocked if she doesn´t get transferred, so its also kind of a goodbye party too!! 

Love you all tons and hope your having a fun week!! thank-ya for all of your prayers and support, I can´t even express how much I appreciate it:) As I continue to work hard and put my trust in Him, I´m filled with love for these people and continue to see God´s hands in this work of Salvation. I´m so happy to be serving here in Peru, there´s no where else in the entire world I´d rather be. xoxo!
