20 in Peru!

HOLA FAMILIA!!!! 

This week was FANTASTIC!!! Not to mention... I TURNED 20 IN PERÚ!! Ahhh!! hahaha. The week itself, was normal... lots of work!

Monday; For P-day we played VOLLEYBALL and watched some movies! It was so fun! 

Tuesday; We had a Zone conference, and that was good! They also served pulld pork sandwiches for lunch... yum! ;) 

That evening/night we had a work visit with the Hermanas Capacitadores. I was in our area with Hermana Evans! It ws fun and we did a Noche de Hogar for our ward. We did an activity where they write something cool that happened yesterday, and then something cool that happened a week ago, a month ago, and then a year ago. Most people don´t remember, so we talked about how important it is to keep a journal! They loved it! 

Wedesday; We  had a zone meeting in the morning and then that evening we switched companions back to our normal companions. Hehehe. 

That night we decorated our planners, so that was fun! 

Thursday: Was normal, lots of work and lots of walking!!

Now....My birthday was Friday and it was literally.... THE HOTTEST DAY WE HAVE HAD YET!! ahhhh... hahaha. But it was cool! We had lunch with our Ward Mission Leader, Max, and his son Pedro. It was delicious and we ate cake too! 

We taught some lessons too and receieved lots of sweets! 

That night we went to the Zafra Family´s house and they bought these yummu cookie things and we drank... of course... INCA KOLA! My favorite! 

After that, Hermana Jeni took us to eat pizza! 

Royer sent me a gift and it was the coolest thing ever!! Here in Perú, in 2010, the national bank decided to send out these special soles (the coin currency here) that had the riches and the prides of Perú... There are 26 in all and people have been serching their whole missions to collect them all, and ROYER GOT ME THE ALBUM FULL OF THEM!! Ahhhh! It´s so cool! 

It was one of the most simple and beautiful birthdays that I have ever had. I loved walking in the hot streets of Perú, teaching the people, and really feeling the love of the people here in my area. I loved it and I am so grateful for the chance to be here in Perú for one birthday. To serve the Lord! IT was the best! 

Saturday; In the morning, we went up one of the hills to meet with a reference we were given, but he wasn´t there. As we were getting ready to leave, we saw this lady with a baby and a huge bag of stuff walking up all these steps... So I offered to help her! 

As we were coming down the stairs from helping her, we saw this little old lady with a GIGANTIC bag full of stuff. So I offered to help her and carried her bag up to her house! Woooh.... what a workout! Hahaha. The people here have gotta be so strong because that was tough work! Hahaha. But it was fun and she gave us some juice after. Hahaha. 

Sunday: Hermano Miguel came from CANTO REY to visit me! It was awesome! He came to our sacrament meeting and brought a little gift from Hermana Cielo! It was very sweet! 

Overall, This week was really good! Lots of work, but I LOVE IT! 

I hope all is well with you guys! I love you so!
