Well, I am just doing
awesome! I am enjoying my last and final week with Hermana Tango as she will be
ending her mission. Wow! This is my second companion that I have been with when
they finished! But I decided you might want an itinerary for this last week and
a few details.
Monday! We traveled to
Cusco and had a great pday there! We went to the cristo blanco with my daughter
here in the mission and it was the second time I have been. The first was when
I had my first day in the field and then now a year later. Made me feel like
time went so fast! That night we traveled to Urubamba for more visits!
Tuesday we worked
with the sisters there and they are doing well! The sacred valley is so pretty
and I love every time we visit, and yes we met a family from Trujillo that were
members going to maccu piccu. Crazy how it happens! But it was fun! I went with
Hermana David
Wednesday we went
to piccu and served with the sisters there, what a blessing. Right smack dab in
the middle of Cusco. There was a paro (riot) and so we stayed up in the hills
to work. It can get dangerous with people throwing rocks and everything but
yeah we did not even see any of it!
Thursday! We stayed in
Cusco, which was not our plan… because of the riot. There were no busses to go
back so we worked with the Hermana leaders in ttio! Their sector is so little and
they are all so rich! But it was good….
Friday we came
back and I ALMOST puked on the drive. So grateful I didn’t. But the trips can
be a Little bit rough in the mission. And I don’t get car sick so that tells
you something. But we went to one of the members houses that night and made
ceviche! We can’t eat it in the mission but I learned how they do it. It is
with raw fish lots of lime, and other great Peruvian herbs they put in it! I
also learned how they do canchita. So good! It is corn that they fry in oil
just as the Incans did hundreds of years before.
Saturday we had a
lot of visits and a normal day finally in my sector! What a beautiful sector we
have and a lot of work to do! We found 2 new investigators that day, and
visited many of the people that were in need of a lift so I was so grateful.
Sunday, well we had a
conference with Peru and Bolivia and Heard from Elder Christoferson which was a
thumbs up!
And today, so deeply
grateful for the mission and how it as changed me. I really have learned so
much. I wanted to share a scripture from Matt 16:25, yes Reading the bible
in Spanish is the best thing ever… ha-ha. It is sarcastic. But it has taught me
so much. I have found my life here in the mission. I know my purpose and it is
to LOSE MY LIFE IN SERVING THE LORD. I find happiness, true lasting joy. I
desire to help others, and my testimony has grown so much. I know there is reason
for everything and for all of you…. I just want you to study this scripture.
The footnotes and all. See what you can do to lose yourself in the work of the
lord. You will NEVER regret it.
Well, have to go!
Sorry no description of pictures! Forgive me, and when I get back I am sure I
will be happy as ever to explain. Haha!
