Cooking on our own!
February 29, 2016
Well,
Hermana Julia (awesome member) made me eat mashtca this week which is a dirt
like meal of wheat that you eat with a little bit of sugar and it was
DELICIOUS. And not much else happened this week haha...
I picked
up something and had a fever the beginning of the week, which was fun, but am
feeling good now!
We had an
awesome district meeting in which we did Lehi’s dream with our companions and
it was really fun and took on a whole other meaning for me! We really are the
ones assigned to help people find and stay on the rod. Gave me the motivation I
was needing!
Also, My
companion Hermana Palomino is awesome! She lived in Lima for 5 years and is
SOOOOO SMART. One day she told me the whole history of Peru and the legends and
now I know why all the street names have the name they do! Super fun.
Also our
pensionista went on vacation to Trujillo for a few days, so we cooked! SOO
YUMMY. Oatmeal, grilled cheese, super fun. But I realized I also don’t really
know how to cook, haha.
BEST PART
OF THE WEEK was my old pensionista Hermana Amelia came to visit me with her
family at church! I cried... I love that family SOOO MUCH. And it was so good
to see them.
Also, we
had a FHE with a convert who is now inactive and brought the whole consejo over
and did a testimony meeting with her, it was so awesome. I was so strengthened
to hear the testimonies of these humble members who have so little but give so
much to the church.
All in
all, we are finding new people and seeing lots of little miracles. I am trying
to finish the Book of Mormon in Spanish before I come home, and honestly,
reading it in my spare time and for studies has been the greatest help and
really "got me through" this week. There is POWER in that book and I
love sharing that with all the people we teach. The examples to me helped me
realize and feel once again how important this work is and the joy that comes from
knowing Christ more, and helping others to know Him more.
It is all
true.
Thanks
for all of your love and support! Have a great Leap day!
