Hola!

Hola Familia!!!! 

This week was a really tough week! Lots of challenges, but lots of good times too! 

I miss you guys like crazy, but can you believe how fast the time is flying?? I can´t! Hahaha. 

Monday: For P-day we went to Chili´s in Mega Plaza and then ate Pinkberry... Ahhh!! It was expensive, but worth it! It made me remember and miss Rockin´ Frog Yougurt! hahaha. 

Tuesday: We had a lot of lessons fall through, which meant a lot of walking. However, we met a family who´s brother is on a mission in Ecuador. They were really curious about what exactly he´s doing in Ecuador, and so we talked to them and they seemed really excited and we have been teaching them and they seem really receptive. 

Wednesday: We had a service project up in the area of the Elders from Habana. We scraped paint off of her house to prep it to be painted and she fed us Arroz con pollo... Yum! 

Thursday; We had heard this rumor that there was a lady in the market who sells Frog Juice (where they take a live frog, whack it against the wall to kill it, chop off it´s head, and blend it whole with a bunch of other liquid stuff that´s supposed to be really good for your health) So we went in the morning with our Elders to go find this lady... But... apparently she doesn´t exist in our market... hahahah.... So we just brought breakfast and then went to a zone meeting, which was AWESOME! We got a training from our zone leader from presidente about not being afraid to "shake the earth" and cry repentance to the people. IT was really really good! 

Friday: We had a Lamanita in the morning, which was good! The Hermanas Capacitadoras (SIster TRainng Leaders) are awesome and we love them! 

Saturday:  We found out we might have to move! Our landlord is asking us for MORE money for our apartment, so now we´re on a house hunt! 

That evening we went to go visit one of the ladies that we have been teaching recently. IT was sad because she told us she didn´t want to hear us anymore becuase she felt like she didn´t need the gospel... She is a member of another church and she felt like if she joined our church that she was treating religion like a game... So that was really rough... 

Sunday: So here in Perú, people throw parties at night with lots of music and laughing and all that, and no one (like the policia) comes around at midnight to tell them that there are good people sleeping (like in the states) so all night there was a party, which made it really hard to get up in the morning. But we did! And we went to church and it was great. The people have such strong testimonies here that are so pure and so sweet! IT was a good day. 

Welp, this is my week! It went by SO fast and we are teaching a lot a finding some new people, which is awesome! I love it here even though it is so burning hot and it´s only going to get hotter!! Hahashaha. 

I love you guys.... Have a great week and ..... MOM!!!!! HAPPY BIRHTDAY THIS WEEK!!!!! I LOVE YOU LOTS AND HOPE THAT YOUR BIRHTDAY WILL BE GREAT!!! I´ll be celebrating from Perú!! LOVE YOU!!! 

Love you guys!! 

Love love love,
