Watch out for a kid named King!

Hi everyone!! I hope you all have had the best week. This week has FLOWN! As for the title of this email, you might think it's obvious but you're already wrong haha. Our amigo, Jorge told me the other day that he will be naming his first born child after me hahaha! So for that kid named King in years to come, we love you. 

This week was so so good!!

Okay also the spanish keyboard is on so I will try my hardest to have this make sense hahaha

Tuesday! 
We had a really good cita with Jorge (amigo with a bap fecha) and we had members accompany us!! We talked about the plan of salvation. What a blessing Gods plan for us is! We also had a good, good cita with Roberto!! He is progressing and we are just super proud of him. OKAY MIRACLE TIME! ! At night we called a door (yep you just holler haha) and this guy came out without a shirt. In Peru everyone answers your knock from a window or balcony. He put a shirt on and came out to talk to us. He apologized for not wearing a shirt..he thought when I called him, I was his 7 year old niece...hahah! Yup. We love that. We continued talking and it turns out he is an ex´catholic priest. He said the higher up he got in the church he realized how corrupt it was.  He was really interested! We love Martin!

Wednesday!
We had a cita with Carlos. He finally realized how strong of a testimony he has. It is the coolest thing to see his testimony grow and grow!! We also met with a less active that owns a beauty salon haha fancy right? haha!

Thursday!
We had entrevistas and room inspections! We got our house decorated with a welcome sign and treats hahaha! Then we had entrevistas with President. Ah I just am so grateful for President Strong and Hna Strong. They are some of the greatest people I know!! I have had some stomach problems and so President prescribed me some meds! It is so funny because pharmacies here only need the name of the drug. So when we walked up we just said what we wanted, how much and for how long and no questions asked they handed over the drugs haha! WOOT! We also ate pepito again with President and Hna Strong. I will send a pic!! We had such a good cita with Jorge too. We are so proud of our amigos!!!

Friday! 
We headed to the offices again for Hna Luke. We spent basically the whole day there! BUT when we got home..MIRACLE TIME! This guy that drives a moto had driven us a few times and HOW do you see the same person multiple times here? Never. haha! BUT we ran into him AGAIN and he wanted to hear our message!! His name is Marcos! He said he wanted to come to church! AND it turns out he rents FROM A MEMBER!! A member that we visit all the time!! MIRACLE NO?? 

Saturday!
We had the funnest contacting activity in Libertadores! It was an elders sector so it was a lot sketchier than most. It was really fun to explore the other sector! We contacted about families. It was so fun!! We found some really sweet graffiti in english haha! I will send a pic of that too! We were back in our sector and we complimented this lady, she ended up talking to us and we got a cita with her and 3 other people in her family!! Goes to show a compliment is NEVER wasted. We had citas with Jorge and Roberto! They are so solid!!

Sunday!
Okay wow what a FUN DAY!! Family Arambulo who used to be reallyyyyy less active is now active and today at church, one of them got a calling!! I started crying it was the coolest thing ever. Karina is now the secretary in the primary presidency!! Such a proud moment!!! Marcos came to church!! He LOVED the Sacrament! Roberto and Jorge both didn't come to church so we need to figure that one out sadly. We are praying hard!! A recent convert who is now wanting to go on a mission asked if she could come out with us one day this week! She's coming out with us next week!! It'll be so fun!! We also had the funnest NDH with our other Jorge amigo and some member families! We made sugar cookies from the mix and used frosting to decorate!! MOM YOU ARE THE BEST!! Thank you for those. We talked about agency! It was so fun!!

Spiritual thought for the week!
Fear ye not. And when the second and the third and the fourth blows come, fear ye not...the Lord shall fight for you. Cast not away therefore your confidence!  

Always, always remember whose team we are on! The Lord will never give up on us so don't you dare give up on yourself!!

My challenge for the week!!
Read your patriarchal blessing and write down promises God has kept. The Lord is faithful to His word, ALWAYS.

I love you guys so so much! I am so grateful for your support and love. The gospel is true and I am so grateful I get to be a missionary and bring the gospel to people that don't have it, YET!

Love you all!!!
Hermana King!
