Week 31

Hey there!! 

First week here in Ignacio Merino is in the books! Let me just say that it is the coolest thing in the world to be out here in the mission with one of my best friends ever. During the week, we would just look at each other at random times while teaching and just smile, thinking how cool it is to be here together. It is honestly such a blessing. Its something indescribable. We're living the dream!! 

As far as our work goes, this new area is completely different than Sullana. It is probably one of the nicest areas in the mission (in Peruvian standards), and that means people are a little more prideful. We hit the pavement and knocked doors diligently for a lot of hours this week and didn't see a whole lot of success. However, we are working really hard to prepare to baptize each week next month! We have some people that are really prepared to be baptized. Hopefully I will have more time to write about them next week.

This ward here in Ignacio Merino is great!! The members here are really strong and super friendly. I feel a lot of similarites to my old ward back home. It is so cool to see the faith and diligence of the members here, considering my old ward in Sullana struggled sometimes. It is another testimony to me of the truthfulness of the gospel to see the strength of the church in every part of the world. :)

I'm sorry I dont have much time to write today or explain much about the week. I promise to do better next week! Just know that everything is going good here, and that the gospel is true!!

Also, I want to wish my mom a feliz cumpleaños! Her b-day is tomorrow, the 27th! Thank you mom for all that you do and for your great example to everyone. I love you sooo much!! You are the greatest. :)

And... Sorry for no pictures. Little internet cafes aren't the most reliable sometimes. I can't load anything. Hopefully I will be able to next week. 

Avanza Su verdad!
