Hello!
 |
| Lesson with Machaca Family |
Quick overview of the
week: Tuesday I had intercambios (switch companions for the day) with Hermana
king. I love doing intercambios. I feel so lucky to work with the sisters here.
Hermana King is AWESOME. I love her tons!! She is a great and hardworking
missionary! She’s the blond curly if you want pics from last transfer to see
who she is.

Then Wednesday we went to Huanta to work in family history. A
member from the ward Mariscal (maybe the ward name it translated Marshal) named
Hermano Manuel takes us for FREE!!! What a blessing that is!!! I know he will
be blessed for his service!

| Ivett and Frine |
Thursday we had a family home evening with Ivett
and Frine to show them how to do one. We tried Monday but they weren’t home Ivett
had the spiritual thought and she shared how she prayed to find a toy of Carla’s,
her little sister, and she found it! It was so cute. It reminded me of when I
was about 6 and lost mom’s birthstone ring at the Snell’s in all the leaves and
we knelt down and prayed and we found it like 2 min later. Truly, Heavenly
Father answers our prayers.

Friday. Okay, this isn’t spiritual but it’s
hilarious. Are you ready... I hope I give it justice. So, after we got home on Friday
Hermana Nielsen was in our room and there was a GIGANTIC spider on the wall!!! We took like 10 min killing it. Not kidding it
was huge... and we were both screaming…okay I think I was screaming more. You
know how much I love spiders! But, I mustered up my courage and killed it!

THEN, we ran down to get our clothes from the laundry guy and Hermana Nielsen
opens our apartment door to leave and there is a RAAAAAAAAAAAT outside our
door. So we hurry and shut the door. Then we made a plan to find and kill it. So
we get our clothes then we are looking for it with the broom. Can’t find it....the
couple across the hall come out wondering what in the world is going on. We
tell them and the husband takes the broom goes up the stairs to look for it. He
says HAY ESTA (there is)! Then it comes running down the stairs with him
chasing it with the broom. While I’m like trying to jump on Hermana Nielsen because
it was coming right for us. We were screaming. The wife was laughing hysterically
at us, thinking I’m sure estas greengas son locas! (These are crazy greengas) So
anyway, just so you know that was the first rat I’ve seen here. So I did pretty
good. Almost a year and only one rat so far... knock on wood.

| Great minds think alike |
Okay we had a
great week in family history!!! Tons of lessons and people that want to go to
the temple. Family history really has a strong spirit! Saturday, we had
interviews. Pres. Douglas is the BEST!!! One thing he said is that we always
need to have the future in our vision! Be a futurista!!! The Temple is amazing.
It’s powerful I love what

Doctrine and Covenants 84
verse 20-21 says.
20Therefore, in the ordinances thereof, the power
of godliness is manifest.
21And without the ordinances thereof, and the
authority of the priesthood, the power of godliness is not manifest unto men in
the flesh;
The Lords work truly is
hastening.
Doctrine and Covenants
64: 33-34
33Wherefore, be not weary in well -doing, for ye
are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth
that which is great.
34Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a
willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of
Zion in these last days.
Doctrine and Covenants
88:72-73.
72Behold, and lo, I will take care of your flocks
, and will raise up elders and send unto them.
73Behold, I will hasten my work in its time.
He qualifies us when He
calls us.
Doctrine and Covenants 4
1 Now behold, a amarvelous
work is about to come forth among the children of men.
2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the aservice of

God at the last day.
3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve
God ye are acalled to
the work;
4 For behold the afield is
white already to bharvest;
and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in cstore that
he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
5 And afaith, bhope, ccharity and dlove,
with an eeye single
to the fglory of

from finding things I had lost, a beautiful lighting storm, a great companion,
and finding investigators through the spirit, example last night we found
Isabelle and she is golden!!
