Anyway. on to other things...
Random Info:
There
is an elder Lleishman in my zone! he is from Colorado and we think his
grandpa is the brother of President Leishman. I know he is family
because he looks exactly the same as the rest hahaha. It kind of freaked
me out when I first met him. I will try to take a picture today for next
week! He is a really good elder. Brand new and speaks Spanish better
than I do. Turd head.
Weird foods of Peru...
Choclo! chocklo? I
don't know how to spell it but it is really just like a big type of corn.
It is really good and they serve it a lot with Peruvian cheese which I
actually think is goat or llama cheese or something but I just choose
not to question it because I like it to an extent. They also like cook
the choclo sometimes and it is like a different type of popcorn.
Peru....
This week the rain is driving me
nuts so far. Literally. Nuts. I have the hair of a wild banshee. every
single day after about 2 seconds outside. But hey that is life, what can
ya do? Hahaha
So.... sad news of this week is that Hermana Dillon
went home. She has been really sick for like almost 3 months, and losing
weight really fast. we knew she was probably headed for an early
termination of her mission. but it was still really surprising and very
fast. One day she was here, and we had our last Pday. and then that
night they told her she would be going home the next day. It has been a
little rough emotionally and just a weird feeling, that all of a sudden
she is gone, home in her house. Also, I am now the only American girl in
my zone and therefore have not spoken English in a very long time. Well
only a week, but it is freakin me out.
Also this week, we had a multi-zone with President. He talked a lot about sacrifice and its relation to a testimony, for
ourselves as well as for our investigators. It was amazing. He talked a
lot about tithing and it was very powerful. I love to listen to President. It always leaves me inspired and ready to go convert
everyone. Ahahaha, also I got to see Hermana Santiago and Hermana Wilkins, and it was nice to vent and commiserate about Hermana Dillon
going home in English.
We also had interviews on Friday! They are every
three months... and wow that three months flew by really fast! The
interviews are only 8 minutes, but it is an amazing 8 minutes. He told me I
am most likely having a change in two weeks, so I am preparing myself
for that. I will really miss this area, and I am also a little
apprehensive of what might be coming my way. Hahaha, but excited at the
same time! Changes are good. I never ever thought I would say that
ahahahaha.
On a serious note, we had some powerful, sacred
experiences this week that impacted me very much. I know without a doubt
that the scripture in D&C 84:88 is a promise that is fulfilled. I know
that we are protected. I know that the battle between good and evil is
very real, both in the world that we can see and in the world around us
that we can't see. I know that the bad is fighting hard, but I know that
we are on the winning team and can never fall. I know without a doubt
that we live in two worlds, one of which we cannot see. I know the
gospel is true. I know that we are in the right. I know that we are
blessed and protected and that we are winning this battle. We are
christian soldiers, marching in this war.
I love you so much family! I miss you, and you
better send me pictures of the 4th! I love you so so so much :) God be
with you until we write again in one week! I love you:)
