| Emily's 20th Birthday Cake! |
Well, I
guess it’s the big day... It feels like a normal missionary p-day which I love!
To quote Hermana Nielsen, I do feel one year older and wiser too! I guess that’s
what happens on a mission. I couldn’t have ever learned as much about the
gospel, people, culture, food, studying, the scriptures, how to be more
organized, use money wiser and the list goes on and on and on... if I hadn’t
come on a mission. I’m so glad I came.

The time flies bye!! YES it is HARD. But
it’s supposed to be hard. Christ died for us, it was hard for Him, He didn’t
want to do it at first but He did. He drank the bitter cup and did the Lords
will. If we go to Him for help He will give us peace and comfort.

Matt. 11
28-30.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest .
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart : and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke is easy , and my burden is light.

Yes, I have got a long, long, long way to go before I’m anywhere near perfect.
But I’m working on changing. That is the beautiful thing about the mission. YOU
CAN CHANGE. It doesn’t matter who you were before. This is the time to forget
yourself and help others and CHANGE. Change is a vital part in the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. Christ CHANGES hearts and lives. I’ve seen it here in Peru, in my
life, in the lives of my companions. As we look to Him, He will help us change.
We can receive help as we have Faith in Him and His Atonement. I have a list of
Atonement scriptures that I’ve been reading and it’s amazing to read them every
morning and study them. I love the gospel. At the end of the day when I feel
that I have done everything good that day I feel good. If I haven’t done it to
excellence I do better the next day. Abe Lincoln said When I do good I feel
good. When I do bad I feel bad.

This week was great! We
went to the Temple with 4 CR!!! It was the best, each had their own
personalized test to conquer the week before we left.
 |
| I think Hna Bott, Gabriella, Hna Nielsen and Edgar #SharetheGift |
Gabriela a test on Saturday
and she had to talk to her teacher and her teacher said no, then said yes. We
prayed that she would have the gift of tongues... interesting huh. The teacher
changed their mind when she went back in to talk! Edgar, his bus left him in
Pisco and he had to find another bus to Lima. Juan and Carmen, a couple, money
for tickets and time! I love to see the temple!
I saw Hermana Bailey she
was there with a group from Ica. BEST present EVER!!!!

I also saw Clark
Sandholtz at Subway... it was weird.. the first person from Kaysville I’ve seen
in a long time. He’s the financial Elder in Lima East
 |
| Elder Sandholz is next to Hna Bott. They were high school friends. I think she was taken off guard at seeing him. Davis is everywhere! |
Anyway have a good week!
Love,
Hermana Bott
