<span style="background: white; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This week was super packed!! Monday we spent all day having interviews
for our baptisms! On Wednesday we had interviews with Presidente as companions.
We were super pumped about our work that we had done in our area and he told us
to now focus more on family history!! He said it’s so important for the members
to be doing their history and helping the missionary work on both sides of the
veil!</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thursday I
had my last Zone conference! It was super good and I learned a lot. All of the
zone leaders talked and the assistants and Pres gave a capacitation. One of my
favorite capacitacions was given by Elder Adams and his comp and they talked
about the doctrine of Christ! How to truly have converts, we need to KNOW by
heart and mind and understand the SIMPLE doctrine. They taught about Christ and
how he organized his church. It was super good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">That same
night we had an interview for our investigator Mercedes with Pres Li. She ended
up NOT passing quite yet and we were heartbroken. She has changed her life and
continues to make changes. Pres just wants her to continue on this path to help
her be completely prepared to take Christ’s name upon her and be baptized. I
thought that Mercedes would be devastated but she just turned to me and smiled
and said that God still had to prepare her! She has a good attitude about
everything!!! And she is doing everything to change, she even dumped her looser
boyfriend because he didn’t help her progress. She loves the church!!! And I just
love her. Its gonna be hard leaving this area just for her I think haha. But
yesterday she came to church walking in the pouring rain and she just laughed
when she got there! she’s the best(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Friday we
taught a Pf couple who are really progressing!!! We are going to help them get
married and baptized!!! They should be good to go by April because we still
gotta teach them and help them learn(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Saturday was
our baptism(: it was soooooo stressful because we organized everything and the
bishop basically just brought soda pop
hahaha but in the end, it was so pretty
and we had a great turn out(: and Miluzka and Janire were super happy!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

weeks are just flowing together!! So crazy to think that in a short two weeks I’ll
have finished the greatest adventure in my life so far(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This
week we have been pretty focused on getting our baptisms all prepared!! We are
gonna have 3 baptisms this Saturday and I’m SO DANG EXCITED FOR THEM!! They are
all so ready to make this promise with the Lord. We are gonna have a baptism
with our whole zone, so in total there will be 7 people who will be there
getting baptized! Its gonna be pretty cool, cause we are doing a special musical
number as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The
coolest thing that happened this week was that we spent Wednesday morning with
Pres and Hna Li. There was a lady who
finished her mission in Columbia and she stopped in Iquitos on her way to Tarapoto
because that’s where she is from. So we stayed with her all morning, and then
after dropping her off at the airport, the Li´s invited us to dinner with them.
It was me and Hna Robinson because our companions had to go and get money from
the bank. The Li’s are so dang cute though, they are just like our little cute Peruvian
grandparent’s haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">When
we were visiting Mercedes this week, she
said she didn’t know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and that she was thinking
about not continuing with listening to us because she had been praying all this
time and had not received an answer. Well then she said that the other night
she had prayed really hard, and that night she received an answer through a
dream where a voice told her that she needed to continue on this path and be
strong! Then she said she sat up and in her dream she saw ME with my proselyting
bag hahahaha so then she said that she knew the church was true and that this
is what God wanted for her. She’s way pumped for her baptism and we took her to
another baptism that the elders had this week and she loved it. </span></div>

except for Domingo, which is part of a holiday in South America called Carnaval.
It’s basically a huge water balloon fight, but not with water, with all sorts of stuff like paint, mud, pee
and everything disgusting, EW IT’S SO GROSS!
But something interesting that they also do is put up a huge tree and hang
stuff all over it like tupperware and fruit and then they cut it down around 8 p.m.
and everyone tries to grab all the stuff like it was a piñata.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">We had 2
investigators in church! We actually had 4 but two of them are kids under 18
and they have to have a baptism permission slip to count as attendance. BUT the
two people that we had are way cool!!! One girl is Cintia Corazon. She’s a 19
year old girl that my comp contacted with her old comp like 3 months ago but
they never went to see her! So we went back to visit her and she is AWESOME. She
is so willing to listen and learn and she accepts everything! Her only doubt is
about baptism because she was baptized in the Catholic Church, but we are
helping her to understand that it needs to be done with the priesthood and that
baptism is not complete without the confirming of the holy ghost. She stayed at
church for the first two hours and really enjoyed it!!! We will go back to
teach her tomorrow (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The other
lady is literally a miracle. So we have been invading the area of the elders
hahaha literally everyone is like a single mom there so we have a lot of cool
investigators there hahaha it’s really funny actually. but we were walking to
visit one of these single moms, when some guy in his motokar pulls up and says
that he’s a member and that he has a referal for us, so we ask him who and he
points to the passenger in the back!! An older lady named Mercedes. He said
that they are dating and that he wants her to know the church. So we got an
appt with her and went the next day. Well when we visited her she said that
years back she had been praying to know the true church and missionaries came
to her house and she started attending the church with her then husband, but
later her hubby decided that he was done with investigating the church and they
never went back! She really is the biggest sweetheart though! She came to
church even though she woke up sick with a cold, but she LOVED IT. She felt the
spirit very strongly in the second hour when we watched a video about how the BOM
helps us in our daily life and with our daily tests and trials!! And she asked
when she could be baptized!!! Wait what?? So today we are going to visit her and
get her a date for March (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been teaching Miluska and she is gonna get baptized on the 11th of March. she’s
super excited(: and we are teaching the family of less actives who’s kids need
to get baptized and they have a date for the 11th as well!! We have a ton of
people right now with a lot of potential so I’m pretty excited for this
upcoming month (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Just really
feel like the Lord puts us in the right place at the right time. He knows what
is best for us and for OTHERS. Everyone in our life, whether they leave or they
stay, is for a reason. And we can make an impact on others, as well as learn
and become a better person for ourselves. Just appreciate the people in our
lives, and try to put everything in God’s hands, because He knows the reason for
every trial and He is also the only one who knows what else is waiting for us
just around the corner - the warm sun always follows the gloomy rain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hey
so everything actually just stayed the same... not too upset about it, actually
super stoked that I’m still with Hermana Ruiz, she’s a cutie and we get along
great. (:</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">So Monday we were helping Hermana Dickman LEAVE. There was a ton
of Hermana’s that finished their mish this last change! Now there’s only like
23 in all of the mission Peru Iquitos! And after my group leaves there will
literally be only 3 gringas haha kinda crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">That night Hermana Robinson was without a comp so she went out to
work with us in our area! We went and visited a less active family and found
out that they have 3 teenagers who aren’t baptized yet.. so hey baptisms(:
their dad struggles with the word of wisdom though! and he was telling us that
he couldn’t come to church because he has to prepare himself and be really
devoted to start to come to church which is a classic less active excuse, so we
totally burned him with a couple of scriptures in Alma (with love of course)
but after that he understood that the beginning to changing is with the DESIRE.
so he committed to coming to church with his family BUT they didn’t show up. we
will visit them tomorrow and see what’s up!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tuesday we visited a family and the Hno is named Roger. He used to
be a black and white photographer so he was telling us all about the work that
he used to do before cell phones became a thing and then he didn’t have any business..
oops, sad for him though. But he gave us a couple references!!! We went and
visited them and found out that they are part member families!! As a zone and
as a district that’s our focus right now, finding PF´S - Inv who have family
that are members! They seem pretty cool though and they came to church
yesterday so that´s a good sign that they will progress! When we went to visit
them they gave us meat from the mountain carne de Monte - have no idea what
kind of animal I ate and neither does my Latina comp so that was interesting!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Wednesday we visited a referral from another member! Her names Martha
and she’s AWESOME. She totally understands and accepts everything that we teach
her and she is really excited to learn! I hope she gets baptized quick because she’s
already there! The Lord is also preparing another reference that we got this
week from ANOTHER member. Her names Miluska, she is 21 and has attended church
3 weeks in a row now. She accepted the baptism question, now she just needs to
work on her testimony so we can put a date on it(: ahhhh all the hard work that
we have put into this last change is showing its fruits now! so happy. I read
this morning that sometimes we take the small and simple things for granted. We
see things only in the moment and don’t look more towards how they impact our
future. Elder Bednar describes it as paint strokes. He says that in his office
he has a wheat field painting, and that if you stand really close to the
painting it just looks like a bunch of dashes and lines of yellow and orange,
but to look at it from far away the landscape truly is amazing! Sometimes we
want to see an immediate change and impact with the things that we do to strengthen
the home and have a better life, but really it’s all about consistency and
diligence. If we keep being diligent, adding more strokes to the painting, we
are going to look back in the near future and see how much we have progressed.
Everything has its recompense, and after living here for 16 months I can
definitely testify that this is true. (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Also another tender mercy! We were walking to an appointment and
some lady came up to us and said that she wants us to baptize her 16 year old
son.. We were like wait what, this never happens. She said that her son doesn’t
have a dad and that she has raised him as a single mom and she wants us to come
and teach him and her about the church!!! We have a cita with them tonight! But
the crazy thing is that we invited her to church and she TOTALLY CAME! Even
without us teaching her. So crazy! These things dont just happèn haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">On Friday we went and did service with a lady in our ward. she’s
super nice and lives with her older son but he is always working so she is
always home alone. And she ALWAYS wants us to come over and visit with her
haha. Every time she makes us popcorn with cheese. But the popcorn is super
weird! It looks just like the hard kernels of the popcorn, but its soft and
chewy like normal popcorn. They call it canchita! In the service we helped her
make 3 leches because my comp made and sold that in her house!! But... she
burnt it hahahaha and it came out like a big glopppy pudding. oops ((:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Something that I learned this week was about the spirit! At the
beginning of my mish I though that I needed to feel the spirit burning in my
heart to know that I really was being guided by him. But I’ve learned that even
if it doesn’t bring us to tears or make us feel a burning in our heart, it is
still there! It’s the still small voice. And that can be a feeling of peace or
calmness or love or a remembering of simple things. We´ve been promised the
constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, we just gotta recognize his hand in everyday(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Okay well I’m great. Also today was great. We left in the morning
and went to the river Nanay! I held Suri. it’s a HUGE FAT WORM that they eat here.
So gross!! But I also saw the coolest
thing ever. The river Nanay crosses with the Amazonas, and where they cross you
can totally see the distinction!!! They don’t mix because the current of the Amazon
River is a lot faster, so right where they touch, you can see the difference in
the 2 rivers. Nanay is blue and pretty and the Amazon is super dirty and
brown!! Hermana Haynie took some pics and I’ll send them to you.. Oh yeah
Haynie is here with Robinson! They’re our new roommates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have still been working with Lincenia and we are STILL having trouble finding
her husband, so it’s made it really hard for her to progress. We will have to see if we are going to keep trying
with her or not. We contacted two new
families this week so that’s really good and we are gonna work with them this
coming week. We were also given a couple
references from some ward members so we will be trying to contact them as
well. I think there may even be a couple
baptisms in these references. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is going good though. Just very busy!! Sorry I can’t send any pictures, none of the

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I’m
just gonna write ya a little guy this week(: We found a new family and they
seem super cool. The wife’s name is Fara and the husband’s name is Alex. Three
years ago the missionaries were visiting them and they were gonna be baptized
but I guess their mom came to stay and she is suuuper evangelica, and then the
missionaries got changed and so they just hardened their hearts. Ever since
then the missionary’s haven’t been to visit! This family was actually a referral
from one of the ward members from my old area Clavero(: We were walking to
lunch one day and a guy and his girlfriend were on his moto stopped and started
talking to us cause they recognized me! They gave us the referral and it seems
like a family of GOLD. Super excited to work with them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I’ve
been seeing all sorts of people I know this week. Craziest thing, so we are
just walking along the dirt path, this day we had taken a different route and were
exploring our area a bit, when all the sudden someone comes up to me saying
HERMANA JACKSON and immediately wraps their arms around me, I was like what the
! Who in the world just attacked me?! IT
WAS THE BISHOPS DAUGHTER FROM PUCALLPA. I love her so much and I turn around
and THERES MY OLD BISHOP. We all just started laughing super hard. It felt like
a dream(: but it was great to see them!! They are going to be here for 2 weeks
visiting the grandparents who live in our area!! We set an appointment for
Wednesday to visit them(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Licenia
is still progressing! She came to church with all of her little kids. Love her.
Still working to get them a date for when they are getting married. We are
trying to shoot for the end of February but I guess we´ll see because they
gotta save up and everything and its super hard still to find her husband Juan.
But we are going to have a FHE with them tonight so that should be good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This
week I was just thinking about how much I have learned this whole time. Every
trial that I’ve had out here has truly made me become a little more like the person
that the Lord really needs me to be. I’m enjoying every minute out here and
feel really blessed where I’m at and who I’m with(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">So this
week we worked in the area of GOLD that I told you about! We found a lady named
Jessica. It started raining super hard when we were down there one night, so we
went over to her house so we wouldn’t get soaked, and she let us in and gave us
a bunch of weird fruits from the jungle to try! One was called pijuayo. It’s
super good! But anyways after sitting with her for a while we began to teach
her. We set up another visit and when we came back she started to tell us that
she thought we got stuck in the rain at her house for a reason, and that God
wanted her to change. She listens intently in every lesson and is praying to
know if it’s true! And she came to church this week with her niece! She said
she really liked it but she was a little confused why we break off into relief
society.. So she wasn’t into relief society yet but she said she just has to
get used it haha</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">We are
visiting another lady who is older. she’s evangelical and so everything that we
say she’s like "HALLELUJUA". (: But her beliefs are pretty similar to
ours, so she understands really easily and she has a brother who is a member in
Pucallpa so she’s interested! She told us a story about one of her pastors who
had come from another part of the country to teach their congregation, and how
he had taught them was by using a dumb blonde joke... and that he tied it in to
Jesus being the buen pastor... ugh. those churches just struggle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">So on Saturday
we went to a baptism that the hermanas had! This little kid was getting
baptized by his grandpa. but his grandpa messed up on the words like 5 times,
and then the little kid kept throwing his hands up in the air when the grandpa
actually dunked him. I happened like 3 other times hahaha so the last time the
grandpa actually said everything good but then the kid straightened his back
cause he didnt wanna be dunked again, and so the grandpa was just super
frustrated and he tried to force the kid in the water and everyone was
like....... what is going on... hahahaha it was so awkward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">A cool
experience this week was that we were gonna go and try to find someone to do
service for on Saturday morning. But in the night after we planned and also the
morning when we woke up I just had the biggest impression that we should go
work. So I told my comp and we decided to go to another part of our area where
we had never been before. Well we get there and the first house we knock on a
lady comes out bringing a chair and says COME IN without even saying a word to
her! Her name is Estela. We taught her about families and that through the
gospel we can overcome whatever trial that presents itself in family relations
and in life situations. At the end of the lesson we thanked her for being so
willing to listen to us and she just started to tear up and cry. She said that
she had been feeling so awful because she was having problems with her older
children. She hadn’t been attending church for a long time and she felt distant
from God, she looked up to us and said through her tears that she knew that God
had sent us and in that moment I felt complete peace because I knew that we had
done the Lords will and had found someone who was searching for God’s love,
just as we had prayed for to find the morning before we left the house. The
Lord is so ready to give us all kinds of opportunities and experiences that
will help us grow and learn and become better if we can but listen to that
STILL SMALL VOICE.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Well
just a side note here, yesterday a cop car came zooming past us while we were
stopped in our motokar, and I just gotta tell you that I’m pretty sure it was
the same model crap TRUCK that Jayden had before he left on his mish hahahaha
but as a cop car. oh the jungle (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">We
also taught a less active who told us that she has a special gift.... people
from all over Iquitos come to her telling her about their illnesses. She writes
their names and info in a book and then in the night prays for them and then
has DREAMS about them that tells her what kind of illness they really have and
what they need to do to get better. Super crazy. She told us some pretty crazy
stories about that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The weeks keep
going by faster and faster! </span><span style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Things are going pretty good. My area is really
cool and REALLY BIG. The bishop and his
counselors are so awesome. </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are just super focused in FINDING. Lisenia is still progressing
and we visited her with a member the other day, and taught the plan of
salvation. We extended a baptism date for February and she accepted! But she has
to get married and her “husband” doesn’t seem as pumped about listening to
us.... ugh. They were supposed to come to church Sunday, and we even called
them that morning and they said they were coming but then as church was about
to start they weren’t there yet so we called them again and they had turned off
their phone!! We called them like 7 times and they wouldn’t pick up haha sooooo
yeah we are gonna see what happened when we visit them tomorrow<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The other day
we were walking around and contacting in</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> this area literally contact people all day. But since
our area is HUGE, we took a couple new turns and ended up getting lost haha but
the area where we ended up is pretty poor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">They are the
kind of houses that are made of old wood and have bridges leading into them, so
these people are a lot more humble and they just welcome us into their houses!!
So we are gonna focus a ton on working in this area this week and hopefully we
will find some new people that the Lord is preparing (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
So the day after Christmas we watched the grinch as a zone. We all thought it was great after the highlight of skyping our families on Christmas day. I was super happy. The next day the offices called me at 7 a.m. in the morning to tell me that I had changes and needed to be at the airport by 11 a.m. So I was packing all morning!!! that was super fun!!!haha, but I got done at like 9 though and went out and said goodbye to all the people that I love in Pucallpa. It was super sad actually, they are some really good humble people whom I've really come to love and learn from.<br />
<br />
But like I said last week I'm now here in Iquitos again in the zone 9 de Octubre and my area is called Las Colinas. in english it means the hills... haha and its true. My area is just a bunch of hills and jungle and houses! Its super big but I like it a lot. Right now we are really just focusing on FINDING. When I got here they had like 5 registros in their binder of old contacts that they had been teaching and NOTHING ELSE! So we were basically starting from 0 with this area. I also told you about my cute little companion from Columbia. Shes 23 and her name is Hermana Ruiz. Shes pretty cute and we get along super good. I wouldnt be too mad if she stayed and killed me for my last change(;<br />
Living with the 2 gringas has been great. I've missed american culture and english(; but one of them is Hermana dickman who is dying this change, and Hermana Robinson from Canada who ends her mish the change after me!<br />
<br />
We had 2 people in church this week!!! But our attendance was 193..... a whhhhole lot different from the 50 I was used to in Pucallpa haha. The lady we are teaching is named Wilma. Shes the cutest older lady ever. For año nuevo (new years) she told us that every year at 12 midnight she puts on a bright yellow wig and dresses up in all white and goes out with sunglasses and a suitcase and parades around the block... idk some kind of tradition they have here in Peru but I was laughing so hard when she showed me the wig... literally BRIGHT YELLOW long haired wig with bangs hahahaha, ah shes cute. But we are teaching her and her daughter Karina who just lost her husband a year ago to a heart attack.<br />
<br />
Anyways things are good here and its been a good change. Also my bishop is the coolest and he goes out and works with us and has helped us find a ton of new people!<br />
<br />
Love you guys!!<br />
Hermana Jackson<br />

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we saw so many tender mercies from the Lord(: We stopped
visiting all the people who just weren’t progressing and started to focus on
finding new people who were ready to follow the Lord. I learned a ton about
diligence this week. If we really are focused on our goals and pray to have
help in achieving them and then go out and WORK for them, we will find that the
Lord has already prepared the way to achieve them. God is the best and only
desires to help us be better and do greater things. But I just have come to
love that phrase(: THE LORD PROVIDES A WAY!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tuesday we taught a new lady named Karina. At first she only
wanted us to come in the morning because she is the only one home then, it was
like a little test she was giving us because after we passed her test she told
us that we could come and teach her family in the night haha. She’s super cool
though. We taught her the first lesson about the Restoration and she was
shocked when we testified that there was a living prophet today! We invited her
to pray to know if it’s true and I’m excited to go back and visit her! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week for Christmas we had a bunch of fun activities. Thursday
the ZL called us in the morning saying that we had a meeting with the Pres of
the stake and that everyone needed to be there at 12 noon. Well we got there at
12 and ended up waiting a whole hour, and everyone was just like what in the
world? What is the pres even doing. So finally they told us that everyone
needed to go upstairs, and when we went into the sacrament room they opened the
doors to the rec part and the pres had made a Christmas dinner for all of the
missionaries in Pucallpa with him and his family and his counselors(: it was
the cutest thing ever. The whole gym was all decorated and there was Christmas
music and everything and they even had mashed potatoes! Made me happy cause it’s
been awhile haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thursday and Saturday night we spent the night singing our hearts
out in the main park here in Pucallpa. After singing on Saturday we came back
and ate dinner with the family Panduro. Then we got to stay up to watch the
fireworks at 12 midnight. Probably the coolest thing I’ve seen here. Literally
the whole sky in every direction you looked was filled with fireworks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Hey guys(:
this week was good! We realized that all the people that we have are super
chill but they just aren’t ready to accept the gospel because none of them have
come to church this whole change. Its super heart breaking because they listen
to us intently but they just don’t put into practice what they HEAR and FEEL.
This morning I was studying a lot about prophets and their special calling that
they have as a guide for Gods children. How, in the same way that our investigators
sometimes don’t put into practice what we invite and share, we as members don’t
put into practice what revelation the prophet has revealed to us. It’s for our
happiness and it’s the simplest and humblest way to follow God, feel His love,
and be a happy family.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">On Monday
we had a pretty cool FHE with a less active family and the family Panduro. We
taught the plan of salvation and gave scriptures to everyone so that they could
help us explain each stage and participate as well. In the end they had some
pretty deep questions so it was good to help them understand more about this
perfect plan that gives us direction about our purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Something
super cool is that last night we were contacting a bunch of people on the street,
and after following and talking to a couple who weren’t very interested, we
stopped to look at our agendas to figure out who to go to and teach. Well
someone called us from behind, we turned around and there was a lady sitting on
her porch with a guy we thought was her hubby. We went up and talked to them
and found out that she is a member that hasn’t been attending in a long time
because she is from Moyo! She recently moved here to be with her boyfriend. She
wanted to ask us where the church was so she could start to attend again! She
seems super cool cause she was baptized 3 years ago and always went with the
missionaries to visit people. But now we are going to start visiting her boyfriend
because he’s not a member but he’s super interested in learning(: love tender
mercies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

feel like I’m gonna get changed. When pres was here he was like “wooow you’ve

everyone! So training is going good(: I like it because it is making me a lot
better at teaching and understanding the gospel!</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> My daughter is super sweet and it’s a really humbling experience
training.. It shows you all of your weakness</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">es and I’m really learning
a lot. It’s also kind of hard because I
need to be a good example to her, but sometimes I feel like I’m still just
learning myself, so I’m just trying to be really repentant of the things that I
don’t do so good and trying harder to do them better, IDK it can just be hard sometimes
haha. but hey THREE MORE MONTHS(: I got this!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

here in Pucallpa it’s a pretty big city. All of the men either work in
construction or drive motokars. And all the ladies sell food or clothes or
makeup. Except my pensionista! She sells these super fancy pots that cost like
3000 soles hahaha IDK its nuts. But Pucallpa is basically all dirt. They aren’t
very modern at all even though they have 2 malls. But hardly anyone buys their
stuff there because they are just used to going to the Mercado and buying all
their food, all day every day. Also it seems like all the women do here is cook
their rice and pollo and beans I swear haha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

are going pretty good here though. I really like my area but the ward is
struggling big time. There’s hardly any assistencia (attendance) so it doesn’t
even count as a ward, and none of our investigators are coming... ugh , we’ve
just got to find new people I guess! Transfers will be coming soon so we will
see if I actually stay in this area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

when I was just starting out and trying to understand everything. I don’t know what I would have done if she
wasn’t in my first area. She was always right

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Today I’m not so good): I’ve been throwing up this morning and I
just feel awful and it makes me miss you a lot. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> ‘M’ gave
us food from the street carts last night that I ate and when I woke up this
morning I just felt so sick and started throwing up. I’m going to go home after
this and lay down but I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay home because we have
appointments tonight.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But my
bday was pretty fun. And since it was on a pday we went shopping and I bought
high heels... hahaha, which I’m just going to pack and bring home. Then we went
to teach an investigator named Lina. She’s really cute but she’s just not progressing
yet! While we were leaving her house we saw Hermana Marcia on her moto with her
son. She said they had been looking for us because she had made me a chocolate
cake for my birthday and they wanted to sing to me! So we went to her house and
they sang to me and then tried to give me a huge crocodile head for a bday gift(:
but it was too heavy to carry and so we just took pics with it hahaha then we
went to Marbella’s house and the bishops family were all there and we were able
to do a little family home evening with them. It was pretty fun(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was with Hermana Pardo for the first half! The offices called us Monday night and
told us that we were both going to be trainers and train NEWBIE SISTERS. We
were both freaking out hahaha but our comps got here Wednesday afternoon. My
comp is 19 years old. Her name is Hermana Vera and she is from Bolivia. She has
a little cute voice and is a little shy around people that she doesn’t know but
she is so CUTE and I love training,</span></span><span style="background: rgb(253 , 253 , 253); font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> and I’m so
happy!!! It’s the funnest thing and it makes me so much better at teaching and Spanish
and everything, its great(: </span><span style="background: rgb(253 , 253 , 253); font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> its
seriously helping me to become a much better missionary and it’s fun to help
her learn as well.</span><span style="background: rgb(253 , 253 , 253); font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> It’s totally making me super
humble and show a ton more charity so I love it. I just try to be super
understanding and loving because it’s the worst when your just starting your mish</span>.<o:p></o:p></div>

life is pretty good and I’m also super pumped cause we are going to be here for

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we didn’t have anyone in church.. Ugh. But a family that
we have been teaching is starting to progress. Their names are Richard and Marian.
Before us the elders were visiting them but the wife didn’t ever want to
listen, but now she LOVES us and she is the one who is always asking when we
can come back. But we really gotta try and find some new people and that’s what
we will be focusing on this week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Hey
guys! This week was super cool! Way better than last week! I hope you all had a
super scary Halloweennnn, haha. Here in
the jungle me and Velazquez celebrated by wearing black and orange and buying Oreos
and milk... not super Halloweenish but we were semi happy so it works (;
Velazquez stayed with us until Tuesday this week cause Fink was in Iquitos for
a meeting. Monday we visited Lorena and José and they told us that they are
going to get baptized but that they don’t want to put the date on it.. ugh. But
whatever, you can totally see the change in them and that they know that it is
true but I think they just want to feel super strong before they make the commitment.
We are just gonna keep helping them learn! I wish they would get baptized like
right now buttt the date is not as important to God as the promise and
commitment that they will make so I think it’s all good.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Tuesday we had a service project with the whole stake and I got sunburned.
So everyone this week has commented on my skin color change "wow estas
super chemada, pon tu sombrero" haha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">We are visiting a lady named Milagros. She is super cool and
completes with her compromises (commitments) but hasn’t come to church yet! Her
dad lives with her and he is 94!? He is suuuuper hilarious though and always
talks to us. Last time he brought out 3 watches and two of them were broken. He
would take out one watch and describe it to us, telling us what was wrong with
it then put it back in his shirt pocket and take out the other one and describe
to us what was wrong with that one but that it was "a really good
watch" and then tell his daughter that they need to take them to get fixed
and then put them back in his pocket. Then 30 seconds later he would start all
over again telling us about his watches hahaha suuuuper cute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">This week was cool because we found 2 new families!!! One of them
is family of a less active who has received missionaries before. We
visited them and they said that they already want to get baptized haha. So that’s
super cool!! But we gotta get them married though and they want to keep
learning and everything before they put any dates. Their names are Juan and Jacqueline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FDFDFD; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">The other family contacted US. We were walking home one night and
this little kid came up to us and said that some girl wanted to talk to us. The
girl is Janessey and she lives with her boyfriend and wants us to teach them because
he has a couple of addiction problems and knows that we can help! I was able to
teach them with Hermana Fink because she came to my area to do a work visit and
it went super good, so we are excited to see their progress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

church!!! Also one of the 70 came, Elder Alarcon. And Elder Godoy (he’s super cool) came and visited
just the Elders and he spoke to Pres Li and they made some rule changes in our mish!
Now we can’t have any pdays with the elders..(they’re crackin down on us) (; But
he said that it’s just better if the girls and guys were separated on pdays. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This week was super cool. We tried focusing a lot on our daily goals to
try and meet them and it made us feel a lot better about our work by the end of
the week! We had 11 less actives in church this week which was super cool! But
we had no investigators and we haven’t had any for the past 2 weeks and it bugs
me. We gotta find some more people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">José and Lorena are OKAY. José has like the strongest testimony because
of the BOM but Lorena doesn’t read so she’s super behind and he doesn’t want to
get baptized without her so yeah. That’s where we are with them! We saw that
our family Allain came home today!!!! We are super happy and are going to go
visit them tonight (: last week we went to the zoo for pday and saw a lot of
animals. It was super fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">But Hna Velazquez

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Everything’s
going pretty good in the area! We had a less active named Jovana who is
progressing a lot and her husband isn’t a member so we are trying to work with
them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Something
super good that I had this week was a drink made from Camu Camu, it’s a super
sour fruit!!! They take out the pulp inside and then make this smoothie yogurt
drink out of it and its super good. It’s like it’s icecream in a drink haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

from their first visit to the Lima temple this weekend!!! They did baptisms for
the dead because they don’t have a year as members yet but they absolutely
loved it! They’re so converted to the gospel! He used to be a borachito aka
alcoholic, but the gospel has totally changed him. Super cool</span>!!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background: #FDFDFD; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This week not a whole ton happened that I remember, but I try! haha we had a FHE
on Monday and all the power went out right as we began to start!! there’s
allllways power outages here it’s annoying. But we did the FHE with a bunch of
flashlights so it was pretty cool! And the bishop ended up dropping by so he
joined us too! We were with a convert family, Onil and his wife Marcia and they
are going to the temple for the first time this week on Wednesday and are super
excited!!</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">We finally
got a date for Lorena and José!! They are going to be baptized the 12 of November!!!
We are super excited for them!! But they gotta be more diligent because
yesterday we visited them in the morning and they didnt even end up coming to
church.. Ugh. so they gotta come si or si these next 2 weeks or their date will
fall!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Also this
week I did a change with Valazquez in her area! It was super cool cause we were
able to do family history where we just go to the church and help members enter
their FH in family search from 6 to 9!! It was super cool and I loved it! There
was a lady who came whose name is Luz. She’s an elderly lady who, because of
her health couldn’t attend church so they had to bring her the sacrament, but
then she started putting in all of her efforts and she even bought a cane and
started coming to the church and she feels a lot more blessed. IDK it was just cool to hear her testimony.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Also
something that really touched me this week was a youth video that I saw from
the church. And the guy who was preparing to go on his mish said that in the
final days when he meets his savior he wants to be able to say, look I gave you
literally everything I got, just like you gave me everything you had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">That’s definitely
something that I want to be able to say too!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Then we did
a service for an investigator of Valazquez’s. We cleaned up her back yard and
burned a bunch of stuff haha but that family loves me. Haha they always ask me
when I am going to come back and teach them haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Anyways not
much more to say for this week!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">This
week we have just really been trying to work with Lorena and Jose! Jose told us
that he knows that the CHURCH IS TRUE and that he wants a live in the celestial
kingdom with his whole family(: but they have not committed to the date the 29
that we extended to them because he says that he wants his wife to also do her
part and that she also receives a testimony that the church is true. We have
been teaching them separate because Lorena has been working night shift and she
leaves right when José gets home! But this week her schedule is normal and we
will be able to teach them together! Its seriously so crazy cause José was the
most devoted catholic ever haha and like the second visit he totally hid from
us! haha but because they’ve been reading the BOM they’ve just completely
softened their hearts and know that the gospel is true. loooooove seeing
peoples conversions!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

think I told you we are teaching this little alcoholic named E… haha he is
super cool but he likes to drink a lot and this week he missed church cause he
went out to drink.. Ugh. But we did a service for him on Wednesday! We cut all of
his grass with machetes’... it was the worst hahaha I had a huge blister on my
hand by the end of the service!!! Poor Hermana Jackson I know(;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Hey guys(: This
week was cool cause we started it off trying to make strawberry cheesecake...
haha it turned out pretty dang good not gonna lie. But other snacks that I ate
this week were a lot sweeter!!! Shout out to Aunt Liz and Uncle Paul cause I can’t
tell you how happy it made me to open their package and see those O’Henry bars
hahaha, me and my comp have already
eaten like half of them(: love you guys so much! thanks a ton!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">So changes were
Monday and I’m still here with the same comp! Which means I’m gonna kill her
haha she’s my fourth comp that I’ve killed in my mish, kinda crazy! but I’m
pumped to have another change with her so we can find another family like
Enrique and Leonor(: Speaking of those guys, they are SUPER converted! ahh its
the coolest thing, they just feel and know that its true even though they are
just starting to understand the gospel. BUT they left town until the end of October.
Ugh. but they had to because they literally had no money at all. So Enrique found a job like 4 hours away that he’s
gonna work at until the end of the month and then they’ll come back to start
their own business selling food in the calle! So Leonor went to her mom’s
chacra to help her harvest her cocoa! But we keep in touch by calling so it’s
all good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">This week Hermana
Velazquez came and stayed with us for 3 days because Hna Fink is her comp and
the new Hermana leader so she went to Iquitos for 3 days for the leader
counsel. Velazquez is my fav. she’s seriously super cool and we get along
suppper good. she’s from Vegas but her fams Mexican! So she’s gringa bamba
haha. no but it was way cool to work with her because she gave me a lot of
animos to keep working hard in my area but at the same time having fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">What I really
loved this week was seeing the conversion in one of our investigators! His name
is José! I told you guys in one of my letters that he is super catholic but his
son is on a mish in Lima. Ahhh I just love this guy because even though it’s
hard for him to just drop all of his catholic beliefs he is truly doing
everything he can to see if the church is true. HE READS THE BOOK OF MORMON
EVERYDAY! And it’s so sick to see how much that has truly softened his heart.
We brought a member to visit with him last night and we started talking about
baptism and then ended up talking about the history of the church a little bit
haha but while we were talking my heart just filled with joy... idk I can’t
describe it but I just felt so completely happy and satisfied cause I know how
amazingly true this church is and I just testified to José what I felt in this
moment and that I knew that he could feel this joy too. Cause like we learned
in conference, the gospel is JOY. But anyways we are trying to help him and his
wife be baptized this 29 de octubre! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Something super
funny is that our pensionista Marvela has 2 kids and then her little nephew who
is always over at their house. And these 3 little kids seriously always ATTACK
ME haha. If they see us walking to their house they all start running together
towards us and then just all latch onto me in a group up and WONT LET ME GO. And
they call me their mom... hahahaha its super funny, they’re super crazy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

your love!!! And thanks Gma Neanie and Aunt Vicki for the letters!!!(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: #FDFDFD; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Hey! This week went by suuuper fast, kinda crazy.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">On Tuesday
we had zone conference with Pres Li! He came with his new assistant who is
ELDER DYE! <i>(He is the Elder from Pleasant
Grove who was assigned as Kaitlyn’s flight buddy in the seat next to her flying
from SLC to Peru) </i>kinda crazy cause we both just barely hit a year in the
mish! But he’s gonna do super great! In the conference we learned about working
together as a team and about the importance of family history!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">That night,
as we left to go visit a less active family it started POURING! It was so
crazy! Our house flooded a little because all the water entered in through the
windows. I love the rain here though cause its super pretty, but all our
streets in this area are dirt.. So it was just straight mud. haha our
pensionista gave me her husband’s rubber boots to use. They were huge but they
did the trick(; That night we visited a less active family and helped them
understand WHY we read the BOM. This family always gives us some weird type of
food when we go to visit them. The time before they gave us Soro. I think that’s
what it’s called. Some wild animal that eats chickens idk haha but it was super
good!! Then this time they gave us cooked peanuts!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Thursday we
visited a new investigator! Her name is Marilin and she lives on the first
floor of our house. We showed her the video He Lives! Its super powerful and
she said that she could feel the spirit while watching it. She actually asked
for us to teach her! We were just walking by and she was like when are you guys
gonna come and talk about cosas bonitas with me haha<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Then we
taught another less active who told us about a spiritual experience of what
helped him and his wife gain a testimony of the church! He was already baptized
but during this time his wife was just an investigator. Their son was super
sick and even though they weren’t attending church he got the impression to ask
for a priesthood blessing for his son from the elders! Well this day that his
son received his blessing he was healed, and his wife decided to be baptized!
Priesthood power is super cool (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Friday was
my favorite! In the morning we had a super sick service! We went to the Chacra
(it’s like their farm land they have) of one of our converts Omnil and Marcia! It’s
like 20 minutes away from our area and her land is just covered in mango trees!
So we raked up all the leaves that were all over the ground and burned them!
Then later that day I had a work visit with Fink! Hna Fink is from Arizona and she’s
like my favorite haha super spunky and knows a ton about the doctrine so I
always love talking to her about bible stories and stuff. But on our visit I
got to see her investigator accept a baptism date!! It seriously strengthened
my testimony lots, because they just testified to us how much the gospel had
changed their lives! It’s a 19 year old girl and her mom, and the 19 year old
has had lots of drug probs in the past 2 years, but she said that once she
started receiving the missionaries she’s come to love herself and understand
that she has a purpose and that Christ loves her and desires more from her. ahh
so cool!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Then of
course we had General conference this weekend! Literally all the missionaries
just get super excited for conf. I absolutely loved Pres. Nelsons talk about
joy and how our purpose is to have JOY in this life. But to have joy and be
happy under every circumstance depends on our focus. Which should be on Christ
and his teachings and the lord’s plan of happiness for us. I also really liked Elder
Bednars talk about believing and Donald A Rasband’s about remembering spiritual
experiences, because our mind quickly wants to forget. Oh and also K Brett
Natress and his story that he told of being a little boy who didn’t want to
listen.. idk I just really liked them all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for pday we were supposed to play games as a zone but it ended up raining
suuuuper hard! So we just chilled in the mall all day and bought ice creams at
this suuper good ice cream shop called Stefano’s, it’s like a tradition that if
you’re in Pucallpa you gotta buy ice cream there on pdays. haha That night we
taught our less active that we were able to rescue this week, her names
Rosenda! She’s a super cute old lady who never wants to pray with us haha every
time we ask her she’s like "no Hermanita I want to hear you pray and learn
more" but then we insist and then she says the prayer and always tries to
make it super pretty with like little rhymes and stuff haha <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we had district meeting and we talked a lot about working with members! Elder
Figueroa is our DL and he’s super cool! That night we taught the Family Allain
and we explained the commandments to them! The law of chastity and the word of
wisdom and Enrique said that there’s nothing holding him back from keeping the
commandments but then he started to tell us about some crazy dreams that he’s
been having lately!!! He said that in his dreams he sees Satan, but he doesn’t
see him as an evil demon like you see in the movies, but as a handsome man with
blue eyes, he said that Satan asks him why he is trying to repent and change
his life and tells him that he can’t because he is his son and should follow
him, and when the devil reaches out to grab Enrique in his dream he wakes up...
super freaky. It goes to show just how much Satan did not want Enrique to
follow Christ! but we finally got everything figured out and in the end he only
needed an interview with our DL. He was super repentant. And about his dream,
it really freaked out my comp but the next day she received a blessing and everything
was all good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we had a mini change with Hermana Soto. I went to her area and we did service
together! We went to a ladies house to wash her dog... oh my gosh this tiny
little dog had like over one hundred BUGS that attach to your skin and eat your
blood and they were all over her little body and in her ears and everything and
we just had to take them off one by one with tweezers and it was so gross ugh..
but the work visit was cool!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was the craziest day. First of all in the morning I went to move a big mirror
that we have sitting against the wall in our house and a huge tarantula type
spider came crawling out from behind it and we tried to kill it but it was way to
quick and it escaped into our bedroom and now we can’t find it.. So that’s fun
for us. This day we just tried to get evvvverything ready for the baptism!!! It
was 4:45 when we finally had everything ready and we decided to call the family
to ask if they were already in the chapel or if they wanted to come with us.
Enrique sounded super weird on the phone and said that they were still in their
house so we told him that we would meet them there and go together. Well we got
there and he immediately started asking me if we could postpone the date of his
baptism.. Can’t tell you how much my heart dropped!!!! A bunch of things
happened that morning that just made the family super stressed about their
situation - Enrique lost his job and they needed to pay their rent and he
was saying that maybe they were going to live on their farm so it would be
pointless to get baptized and blah blah blah just a TON of stuff. We literally
sat in their little room for a whole hour, just telling him that he needed to
trust in the Lord and the blessings would come. Feeling super frustrated I bore
my testimony that I know the church is true, and Enrique told us that he also
knows that its true but he just can’t think clearly with everything that’s
happening around him so we decided to say a closing prayer. Enrique said it and
after we all just sat in silence for a minute and then he said VAMOS. He said
that during his prayer it was as if someone was saying "GO". Can’t
tell you how much this strengthened my testimony of honest and true PRAYER.
Well we got to the church an hour late but we were able to help a family of
five make saving promises with the LORD(:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Hey this
week was super great!! Wow, we have been sooooo busy that me and my comp
honestly feel really dead haha. But it’s good because it means that we are
working really hard! Saturday was the wedding of Hermana Leonor and her now
Husband Enrique! It was a civil wedding where 23 other people were married at
the same time haha but it was cool. The wedding was supposed to start at 9 a.m.
but Peruvians are the worst ever with time and we waited until like 11 to
actually start. Also at the end of the wedding they were doing a broadcast
thing for TV and this guy came up to me and shoved the microphone in my face
and asked me how awesome was this wedding and how other couples can get married
there for cheap hahaha so I think I’m famous now hahaha ;) look me up in
weddings at the Municipalidad in Pucallpa(;
Then later that night we had their reception! but it was super bamba
because hardly any members were there ahh.. We left at 9 p.m. and I guess some
other members showed up at 10:30 p.m. and danced until 11:30 p.m. but yeah. it
was super cool though because at the reception Enrique gave his speech and just
said how much his life has changed in such little time and how he already feels
like a different person. He said that he just wants to be a member of the
church and is ready to follow Christ(: ahhhh seriously the coolest thing ever
how prepared this family is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">On Sunday we
had 8 investigators in church! 5 people from the family Allain, and Jose and Lorena
who have a son in the mission and are trying to get testimonios of the church
so they can also get baptized. Lorena knows that it’s true, but Jose still has
trouble accepting the doctrine because of his catholic background! But he reads
like 2 chapters in the Book of Mormon everyday and then tells us almost word
for word what happened in the part where he read haha. Honestly I think they’ll
be ready to be baptized for October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

rained all morning! And our whole area was MUD! I don’t have boots so I was
tromping around in my toms all through the mud and my comp was laughing super
hard at me, but we were super happy for the rain because it’s been suuuuper hot

we walked home from church and we stopped by a less actives house and were able
to talk to her. She said that she’s not assisting because of a million things that
happened with the members and also she said that every time she has a calling
in the church, she has more problems in her house. Honestly tons of member less
actives have this excuse! But it’s just that, AN EXCUSE. If they really
understood the doctrine then they wouldn’t drop the church for others, the
promise they made is with our Heavenly Father and not with their vecinos
(neighbors). but we are gonna try to help her come back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">This
week was all about getting the family Allain ready for their wedding this
Saturday(: We had to fill out a million
papers and do a bunch of things to get all of their certificates and stuff
ready. Hermana Leonor didn’t have her
birth certificate with her so she had to call her dad who lives on their farm
like a days trip in a boat away from Pucallpa and he had to send it to her and then
we had to get everything done in 4 days so it was a little stressful! But we
did it (:they are super pumped and can’t wait to get married and baptize their
whole family of 5 on the 24th. It’s the coolest thing how the Lord was
preparing us to come to this area! Especially from being in a super hard area
for 6 months where the progression was slow, to coming to Centenario where
everyone is READY to hear the gospel. So happy!! Also the family Allain told us
that their parents are coming down for their wedding and they want to
investigate the church!</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Wednesday we did service in an investigators house who’s son is on
a mission in Lima, but he’s the only member! A couple weeks ago her house
caught on fire in the back, so we came with 4 elders and tore apart her roof
and all of the burnt wood and this week we´re going back and re build it. It
was super funny though cause by the end of the service we were all black! Especially
Elder Robertson (from Layton) he looked like a chimney sweeper haha !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">My favorite lesson that we had this week was with a less active, Sandra!
She hasn’t come to church in 4 years but these last 2 Sundays she came! Her son
who is 13 is suuuuuuper active and the coolest kid ever. He goes to church
every week and brings his little 6 year old brother with him and for the
longest time has been trying to help his mom come back to church. Lots of
things happened with their family. Their
parents were separated and since then Sandra hasn’t wanted to attend church. In
this FHE we talked about families and how our goal should be the temple, to be
sealed forever with our loved ones. She started to share with us that this Sunday,
when her son got up to bare his testimony; she had felt the spirit and knew
that she needed to come back to the church. Then her son started talking and he
ended up in tears, just saying how grateful he was that his mom was FINALLY
trying to change, how he can already feel the difference in his home and how
grateful he is for the gospel. It was super spiritual! Like I said Mark is the
coolest!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then we were visiting another less active family and the sister called
her brother Juan who isn’t a member and who the elders were visiting like 8
months ago and he came in and started talking to us and said he wants to be
baptized because he knows that its true! Like what? This area is crazy! I’m
still so stunned. This guy’s wife doesn’t want anything to do with it though
and they arent really married so we’ve got to work lots with him!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Yesterday the whole mission did a sick activity. We all tried to
make it a day where we could feel the spirit the whole time - one day with the
spirit. Me and my comp really felt a difference in our work, our studies and
our teaching, I think when I get back home, this is what I’m gonna miss most!
Being able to feel the spirit so strongly (:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
