Hey everyone!

This week was good. We had a reference for a family, and we went to visit them and they are awesome. The Familia Chavez es como se llamen. We taught them the restoration, and this same week they came to church!!  We were so stoked to see them come to church, because we invite so many people, but this family is super cool.

Other than that, this week we did lots of walking. Chepen is HUGE. My feet are super calloused and blistered, which kinda stinks. I can't wait to come back and get a pedicure or something becuase I need one. Something unfortunate is that we have lots of investigators that live literally in all different spots far away from each other, so we have to do a ton of walking. We can't pay for a moto because we always run out of money. Also, I need my coka cola or something....

I am still waiting for the heat to cool down. This place is HOT. It has been more breezy at night so that is good, but I am sick of sweating. I am always sweating.   Whyyyyyy??  But it is for the better. I know it is starting to warm up back at home so hopefully it'll cool down here!  Hahahaha

I love you guys all so much. In the mission, I am learning how to love others. It is a challenge to learn how to love, but I know when we strive to love as Christ loves than we can feel His hand work more in our lives. Loving one another sounds easy up until there is a challenge to love someone that is difficult to love. I know that if we can pay attention to the way we treat other people and focus on the Savior, then we can have this blessing given unto us. I know that if we all try to love as He loved, then the world would be a much happier place.

Something I learned in a General Conference talk I listened to this week was speaking with the tongue of angels. When we speak with kind words, when we speak loving words, we can speak with the power of the Holy Ghost which is the tongue of angels. Elder Holland gave this talk and it was super powerful. That really no one wants to hear all our complaints and everything wrong with the world, but if we speak loving words then we can really have power behind our words and our influence on those around us.

You guys are the best!  I am going to try and take more photos for you all.
