after the wall was gone
March 28, 2016
Wow, what an awesome week and celebration of Easter.
This week was semana santa down in Peru, which means all Thursday, Friday and Saturday
was vacation and everyone just sits in their houses and watches bible movies or
goes to the beach. But it was really fun to be a missionary this week! We
handed out cards for the Easter video and saw a lot of cool results.
Besides that, this week we
SERVED. We had a lot of opportunities to do service which was awesome, and
super tiring, but by far the best week yet.
On Tuesday Hermana Nataly
our pensionista asked if we could help take down a wall so they could build
their house above her mom’s house.... sure! It was hard work but a lot of fun
and always the best feeling to help. I’ll put some fotos on because it was sweet.
Then we got to wash giant
blankets for an investigator, which was also very fun, but by the end of the
week I could hardly life my arms haha.
I also went on an
intercambio with Hermana Kelly! She is so awesome and it’s always nice to speak
in English every now and then. They are in the CITY which was way fun, and kind
of sketch, but it was so awesome to learn from her and be with her. At
breakfast we had toast with cream cheese.... I had to stare at the container
for like 5 min and asked "what is this?" I had totally forgotten that
stuff existed! It’s SOOOO GOOD. Always the little things.
We have a new investigator,
Nora and her teenage son Alex who are awesome! They came to church and want to
get baptized in April! So we’ll see! In church yesterday for Easter we sang
"I know that my redeemer lives" in Spanish and it was so fun! The
spirit was really strong and the spirit of the resurrection really testified to
me. What a wonderful Sunday.
This week I have been
thinking a lot about the spirit. I feel so luck for the chance to practice and
perfect a little more the opportunity to receive and act on revelation. I’m
still learning, but I was thinking about how many amazing experiences the lord
has given me to learn and feel to recognize His voice. In the womens conference
they said that was one of the most important skills we can develop, so
true!
Love you all and hope you
have a great week!
