Last year's 4th of July, Emily and Ruth

This week was the best. I learned so much. Oh and today we are celebrating the fourth of JULY for p-day. Elder Roos from Idaho is cooking hamburgers!!!! yayaya! Anyway so Thursday we went to a Training pres. Douglas invited us to attend because we missed our multi zona for the doctor for hna Arroyo. It was sooo good. He is inspired. So just a little from it. He said to persevere in the Gospel to stay active you have to follow the dia de reposo (day of rest), pay tithing and offerings, and read the book of Mormon. He also talked about the importance of the family. Fill out your MY FAMILY. We are trying to get it going here. Mine is almost done, and in Spanish!!! Whoo. Sorry bragging I’ll stop.

On Saturday we visited with Maria and she got fired from her job because she didn’t want to work on Sunday so she can go to church. She is outstanding I am seriously amazed by her every time. She has so much faith in the Lord. She said that she wants to follow the Lord. She is an amazing example of having faith through trials and being grateful in every circumstance. Oh and yesterday, Alex blessed the Sacrament. It was so special. I seriously love Kety, Alex and Mariel.

Alex, Kety, Mariel, Hna Bott

They are so strong and amazing. Kety came on visits with us this week. She is so dedicated. I listened to a talk this morning by Elder Holland and it spoke right to me. He said, Christ like love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it...Pure like LOVE flowing from true righteousness can change the WORLD. This is a promise from an Apostle of Jesus Christ. I testify of his words. Love is the essence of the gospel. Just some thoughts. I really needed that talk today. I love all of you. Believe in yourself. 

Some Elder, maybe the one from Idaho and Hna Bott

You are a daughter or son of God with infinite POTENTIAL if you will BELIEVE. Christ is merciful and loves us and wants to help us. I love all of you thanks for the letters, emails, prayers, packages, and everything else you do for me!!! Also, haha I forgot, yesterday we sat down in the 5th Sunday meeting and found out that the missionaries had the lesson!! I am grateful for that opportunity. I actually think it was ok. Elder Cruz went first and then I went. I talked about persevering and used an example of a tree and the roots are the doctrine of Christ and the fruit are our works and if we don’t fertilize our tree it dies etc etc. anyway I love Perú.
