What a good, good week!!!!!




These two cute hermanas

Hi everyone!! Wow what a good week!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!! Let's get right into it!

Tuesday the 14th
We had entrevistas (interviews) with President today!! Man mission presidents really are called of God! It was so good to talk to him!! The rest of the night we tried to track down Diana who used to have a fecha(bap. date) but it is kinda hard when you can't find her...haha esta bien. 

Wednesday the 15th
We had a lesson with Carlos who is 15 and has been coming to church for SIX months but the missionaries have never been able to find him until now. MIRACLES!! We taught him and it was so so good!! We got through about half of what you need to know to be baptized because well, he already knows everything!! It was really cool because Hna Luke said people have literally been trying for MONTHS to find him and I had been having a feeling about trying to track him down and here we are!! There really is a plan for everyone!! We had the funnest NDH (family night) with the sweetest family Benites and their granddaughters! 

Thursday the 16th:
Our day started at 330am haha YAY WE LOVE THAT! We headed to the temple SUPER early and on our way we had to use roads we aren't allowed to use at night because they are dangerous and so we said a GOOD prayer haha and headed out the door. A random car came speeding up next to use and legit just YELLED and SCREAMED at us then drove away hahahah esta bien esta bien! We went to the temple and WOW it is so pretty!! There is nothing better than being in the temple with my family away from my family. I really felt at home when I was in the temple and WOW am I grateful for that!!!! On the way home I was dancing in the bus and just having a good time because why not and this guy came up and wanted to know why I was so happy hahah! YAY for good contacting ways right?? So we talked to him and it was awesome!! My craziness has its perks haha! We went to Familia Arambulo's after and sweet Lucha started crying because she thought cambios (changes) were this next week and she wasn't ready for us to go. I brought the book of pics I have of my family and shared a testimony of how I have the best family at home but God has also given me family in Peru that He has blessed me with!! He has been preparing us to meet!! So cool! OH there is this thing called Paneton which is basically a fruitcake, yum right? Welp nope. But we get it all the time and we have to love it! Haha during a cita I had poured some of my lemonade into her cup while our ward member was gone and she threw back the shade by telling him how much I just loveeeeeeeeee paneton hahaha so I got a lot of Paneton that night WOOT!!!!!! hahah!

Friday the 17th
We had intercambios with the Hermana caps and it was so fun! We got to do a cool activity with another zone and we took a youth out for the day. It was really fun! I was with 2 latinas alllll day so my 5 sentences only went so far but esta bien haha okay okay long story short I almost died this day because I almost got left and I had to jump into a cambi that was going 10 miles an hour hahaha but its okay. Hermana Luke and the other Hermana Cap decorated the apt. because it was my one month in peru!!

Saturday the 18th
We were going to have a service but it got cancelled! Dang it! But it's okay!! We got our weekly planning done and to top it all of we had the opportunity to sing at a baptism so we did that!! It was the coolest experience ever!! So after that we tried contacting in some different ways like leaving a BOM in a store and coming back to get it butttt rejecting every time but it's okay guys it's okay hahah! 

Sunday the 19th 
We had TWO AMIGOS AT CHURCH!! Guys YES!!!! Miracles!! We haven't been able to get Rafael to come and he showed up today and he said he LOVED IT!!! After church we headed to the offices so that Hna Luke could work on some more school stuff cause she leaves this summer! Then we came back and had back to back dinners! YES WE LOVE THAT! haha! Familia Arambulo fed us and ordered us food...oops yes it happened on Sunday but what can you do when they just do it...anyways. All of the members know how much I love Inca Kola and so Hermana Karina poured 4 glasses of Inca and then she started drinking out of the bottle, Hermana Lucha asked her why because there was 4 glasses. Hermana Karina explained that she had poured two for me because she knows how much I love it hahaha! I feel so blessed hahaha

Monday the 20th
We woke up and did some HIGH fitness cause we can haha and then we bought some fruit! We then went and did some stuff with the district!! WHAT A GOOD DAY!!!!!

Okay so spiritual thought is this:
"....that surely the most thrilling sight and sound in life is that of Jesus not only passing by but His coming TO us, stopping BESIDE us and making His abode WITH us." God and Christ are in the details!! I promise you!! Christ is as involved as we let him!!

My challenge for you all is this:
every good thing comes of God, right? Right! Everyday write down 5 gratitudes. I promise you that you will be able to see how involved they BOTH are with every aspect of our lives!! 

I LOVE YOU ALLL!!!!!! 

Love,
Hermana King:)

1 month in Peru!
