I come up on FOUR months this week. WHAT!! Also-as far as the caption goes...hahah so there are HILLS of houses. And if you go to the hills, the further up you go, the sketchier it gets haha! Well! The hermana caps are in Independencia, the hills. We had changes with them this past Friday and welppp our moto driver took us to the top of an ELDERS sector and 15 minutes away from the Hermanas hahaha! So we stood there like 2 white people with ALL of our stuff. When we say God really does protect his missionaries, we mean it...haha! All is good. We WALKED back down the mountain and took a different driver and all is well haha!
Well!! What a week let me tell ya! Wow. I love Peru. I love the people. I am so genuinely happy. WOW! Grateful is the biggest understatement!!

We went and served Roberto this day! He owns a juice shop (the best juice ever) and the girl that worked for him straight up left..so it has just been him for a few WEEKS! Crazy no? So we went and just helped him clean his shop today. We had district mtg and it was the best!! We focused and read from Alma 18 and Alma 22. Um do it if you havent. haha! We used chapter 18 to teach Carlos and he finally has a CONFIDENT testimony!! The best!!

It was the best ever! ALSO!! Today Jorge committed to tithing!! YES! So so proud.
Friday!
We had another service! We painted again! Then we headed to intercambios and it was just the best time ever. I love the people here! It was so cool because I was able to teach a family that had just lost someone and I connected with them! I showed them one of my FAVORITE scriptures Enos 1:15 and told them that God can give them comfort. Okay guys. I really, really just want to tell you how involved God is with our lives! He is involved in EVERY detail. He LOVES US!!
Saturday!
We finished intercambios! We went to an activity with our zone! We shined shoes and shared messages about the restoration! It was so cool!! Okay the Gift Of Tongues is a real thing and I AM SO GRATEFUL for it. Wow. Spanish really started connecting this week! What a miracle my friends what a miracle. Haha! Roberto! We had the best cita with him! He got a girl to work for him!!!!! You guys dont understand how BIG that is!! Literally weeks. God is the best!! We had such a good cita with him!
Sunday!
Jorge beat us to church today! YES! Go him! And we had a cita with him later that night in the capilla! It went so good! We also had a NDH with our other amigo Jorge! He finally committed to praying!! YES!!
Today!
We went to La Punta!! We went to the beach and ate lunch with our zone!! WOOT!!
My spiritual thought:
"...I retired to the woods to make the attempt. It was the morning of a beautiful, clear day, early in the spring of eighteen hundred and twenty. It was the first time in my life that I had made such an attempt, for amidst all my anxieties I had never as yet made the attempt to pray vocally.." I LOVE this. He phrases this prayer has an attempt. He was willing to continue trying until he received what he was looking for. HOW COOL! YES! I love this. We need to have the mentality that it might take a few tries, but we'll get it!
My challenge for you all!
Say a prayer and think about something (act of faith, service, hobby, etc.) you've only attempted once, and TRY AGAIN!
I love you all SO MUCH!! Have the best week!!!!
Hermana King:)
