This week in Siglo xx was grand! haha for several reasons, well to start off my comp is super cool and funny. She's from Riverton Utah! and loves to swim.. not in the mission though hehe So Siglo xx is on the other side of where I have always been and it is amazing! seriously its so great! The area is kind of big, it is mostly flatland but we also have two big hills! the hills are my favorite its so different up there but also so crowded and the view is great. Really close to us is the laguna Alalay.
So this week we pretty much lived off of Oatmeal, becuase my comp didnt have time last pday to buy food so yea it started off well we had oatmeal, sugar and milk but by today in the morning the sugar was gone and milk so it was oatmeal without sugar yumm! haha you'll see a picture. But I had a way better lunch (something like subway) . Also this week we had to break down a door becuase one of the recent converts got locked out of her house.. putting our muscles to work haha Also (sorry so many alsos) Our house is always freezing! so when we finally go out the sun feels amazing! haha I sometimes maybe heat up my hands on the warmed up walls haha This week we had to sing twice. First for the zone conference on Friday and then for a Fireside with the Stake and our mission President. For the Conference we sang a mix of I know that my reedemer lives and I love my Savior. Then for the fireside it was a Child's prayer. Both were super pretty. Its funny how many times Ive had to sing here in the mission and I dont like to sing haha At the Conference we took a picture with Hna Hansen and it was funny because we didnt tell her what we were going to do and when we leaned in to kiss her she got scared it was so funny, you can kind of see it on the picture. So, Familia Guaman. They are this cute cute family of 7 children. But the mom and dad are so cute. They are so receptive and they want so bad to get closer to God. This week they were going to travel so we were sad that we wouldnt have time to visit them but yesterday we passed by their house and saw that their truck was there meaning... they didnt travel! We knocked and they let us in! We got to read with them Alma 32 and explain. The dad understood that faith is not just believing but acting and he understood that just by reading. They came to the fireside even if late President got to meet them and talk to them about eternal families! Also just yesterday in sacrament I was able to receive so much revelation. I know that God answers our prayers sometimes in the most unexpected of ways or time but he answers and when he answers there is so much peace and joy. I loved a quote that Elder Balderrama shared in his last talk in the ward before he leave to serve in the Peru Chiclayo mission, he said, '' The lord says the most important things by simple things'' ...(I translated it so Im not sure if its ok) but I loved it and I know that is true. I am so happy in my new area and I know also know I am going home in December. Ill be home for Christmas. Love you all though, and hope you have a great week! Write me hehe
