Hello!!!
This week was pretty exciting!! We met a mother and her daughter, Monica and Nicole. They came out of nowhere, but they have a fecha bautismal this week on Friday!!! They came to the baptism we had for Hermana Flor, and they said that they really liked it and want to be baptized! So we are rushing to make sure they understand everything and live the commandments to make this covenant with the Lord. It was seriously a huge miracle. I am super excited for them though, and hopefully everything goes smoothly this week!!! So please pray for them that they will feel peace in this decision.
This week we had our first zone conference with President Hinostroza, it was super cool! It was also the mark of a whole year that I have been in Peru, so we took some pictures with those from my group for our year mark. I really liked this zone conference because it focused a lot on Christ, everything we did was surrounded by what Christ would do. How He taught, how He lived, and how we could be more like Him. It touched me a lot to really think hard about the Savior and how I can apply more of His principles in my life and to model my life after His.
Other than zone conference and two baptismal dates, this week has been pretty chill!! Today we made pizza as a district. We went to the Macro and gathered a bunch of stuff together and we were there for an hour and a half, to find out they don't accept cards and we had to leave all the stuff we gathered right there..... we then went next door and got all the things we needed and then spent three hours cooking pizza learning, on the fly! And I have to admit, it was actually a pretty good pizza. I didn't know making pizza dough was so easy, just flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Who knew? I didn't! Hahahaha
I read the prodigal son the other day and there was a scripture that says that the heavens rejoice for a soul that repenteth than the 100 others that were always there and that actually really touched me, that Paul could repent and be one of the greatest apostles known and Alma the younger could change and be one of the greatest missionaries. I know maybe I didn't do things as bad as them, but if I can model my life after Christ and repay Him by serving His Children, well that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I am so grateful for this gospel, and my Savior, who I continue to learn about every day while I am here, doing His work. I have a lot more to learn and comprehend, but I know that this constant search and battle to become more like Him that the righteous will always win because we have the help of a power much stronger than any other on the earth.
I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
