AHH Im so excited for Cody! This is gonna be the longest 2 weeks of my life!

 Well this past week was super crazy. I haven't slept in like 5 days.. I feel like a zombie. We worked normal in our area monday and tuesday  we were able to have a few lessons that went super well. One of our investigators Nancy, that got baptized a while ago in a different church is doing really well! SHe always has the best questions and I just feel like she understands what we teach not just listening. We explained the plan of salvation to her and when I asked her if she felt ready to meet God she quickly said noo... Then we explained that's why we must prepare and it made me think how everyone feels so unprepared and scared to meet our heavenly Father or Jesus Christ. When it should be something we can't wait for! To finally meet and thank our savior! We should be excited to meet him, not scared. But it depends on if we are prepared. We talked a little bit about that with her and she really like it. Wednesday we had our district meeting and pday then that night we left as a zone for Lima. We all went in the same bus and it was a party haha. The seats went all the way down and made a bed. It was really nice but still didn't help, I didn't sleep much, plus everyone was puking all night long so that kept us all awake. haha it was a fun bonding experience with the zone. We got to Lima and had our meeting with Elder Waddell and his wife! We got to meet him and it was super cool. He talked about a lot of different things, I got lots of notes. I was able to learn a lot. It was nice to see all the other hermanas of Lima too! I saw Hna Galo! My mom! she dies this transfer :(  The rest of the night we just hung out in the mission office as a zone with the assitants. Then headed back that night on the bus, but one that was the complete opposite of the first one. So once again no sleep. No sleep Night #2. The rest of the week went well, we had a lesson with Pilar and we mentioned I could be transfered so when she said the closing prayer she prayed that I would be able to stay in Ayacucho Forever! haha uhhh... It was supe cute though! Then after the lesson she told us she had something to ask us, then continued to explain that in her school their PE uniform is inmodest because the shorts are too short. We explained that if it wasnt something she could control it'd be okay but that we were happy she was concerned and trying to do what is right. She is so great! haha I love her! We talked the familia Machaca this week too! All their family has returned from summer break so we were able to teach the whole family again! They are slowly getting there, I know they will join someday but it might be a patient wait. I love them so much though! Then saturday we had a lesson with a family of investagatores but this time they didn't want us to teach them they wanted us to teach their brother Oskar, he is like 27 and recently ´got sick´ were not sure what really happened but he sits in a chair all day and doesn't talk. I think he might have had some kind of brain surgery... but isn't the same now.. They didn't go into much detail just said to try to get him to talk to us. We taught him. it was kind of hard cause he couldnt talk, but he was listening. It was kind of a really akward lesson and we didn't know what to do. He said a few words to us like SI and his family got super excited. Then after we finished we said all our goodbyes Hna Peña went to shake his hand and he grabbed her hand with both of his and said ´thank you for your visit.´ His family kind of freaked out that he had spoke. It was a miracle for them and now they want us to come back and keep teaching him. It was kind of an akward situation cause we came to visit them but they don't want to hear anything now. And were not sure how we can really help Oskar in his condition like this. But what would the savior do? Were gonna keep stopping by and hopefully we can help him and his family get more interested again. It was a super cool experience but super strange too. 

Then  laaaaate saturday night we got the transfer call! (no sleep night #3) I got trasnfered!! Im now in Churillos in Lima with Hna Addington from Texas. I was really surprised I'm with a gringa again but its gonna be great!

Then sunday! It was mostly just packing, i didn't realize how much stuff I have! And I said all my goodbyes! It was sad, I'll definatly miss Frine and her family and Pilar and the familia machaca. But asi es la mission. Pilar was really upset! ¨hermanita no se vaya!¨ over and over again. Im kind of akward with goodbyes so... I just kind of hugged her and said sorry. Everyone else is pretty use to changes so they just hugged and thanked me. Then I left that night for Lima (no sleep night #4) I met my new companion and we headed to our area to get to work. we had Hna tuqurres with us because she had to wait for her companion to come, Her and I were walking around like zombies yesterday. She came with me to Lima. Then last night we picked up a few more Hnas from the office until like 10pm. so we got to bed suuuper late. Then early this morning got up at 5 to get the Hnas on the road to there new areas. (no sleep night #5 ) so yeah im still DEAD tired! But its okay. I'M super excited to be here in Churillos! Its right by the beach, we can see if from our house! Our house is suuuuper nice. they just changed and I love it! we are on the 4th floor so we have a great view. Hna Addington is super great! She works really hard! I'M so grateful to have a companion who is ready to work. This cambia that's all I want to do Work. work .work. work. Oh and I'm not in Family history! My transfer then is Zealous & Fearless! Being super dillegent and getting everything done I need to here in Churillos and just not fearing to act upon anything or talk to anyone who crossed our way. Its gonna be a great last 2 transfers here! I'M super excited! I love you all lots! And hope you have a fabulous week!

Love,

This week was mucho mejor! In my letter to president I basically told him I was so mad about our week that we were gonna take it out on our area working. So last Monday after Pday we went to visit a few investagators. They live in this secret passageway type thing, there is like a metal door so it looks like just one house, but you walk in and there is like a little hallway with a bunch of other doors. They live at the first door and they said they were busy so we asked if there were any families we could visit that they knew, they said yeah this whole passageway is full of families and started naming off all the families that lived there. WE recieved 5 different families! So we went to the next door and they let us right in! There whole family was there and the grandparents, and they told us that that never happened so we caught them at a perfect time. MIRACLE! So that night alone we taught them all and it went great! They seem like a really great family! And we had 5 new investagators to start our week out (last week we had 0) We were so happy and so pumped and basically skipped home.

    Tuesday we had our interviews with president! It was one of the most different interviews I have ever had with president. He started out by asking how my faith was and from there just asked me a bunch of questions making me answer all of them, he hardly said anything. But it was soo cool how we were guided and how much I learned being the one talking the whole time. President has been stressing the need to interact when we teach and this was a perfect example for me that it works really well. He also started talking a little about after the mission which I didn't like, but he made some really good points and told me I had great faith :) He also gave me the question, How do we help the people we teach feel the need to repent. It was really interesting for me and that has been my focus of my studies this week. And I have learned so much! President is so inspired. Afterwards he talked to us as a zone about goals and faith and not becoming discouraged everything he said was SO PERFECT! I love that man! I just felt soo good and edified after leaving the church.

       Later that day we were walking to the church for a meeting and when I got there  I realized my plaque had fallen off. we had to wait til after the meeting and it was dark out so we tried looking but we didn't see anything. I was praying soooo hard! I know its just a plaque but it had all my stickers that each mean something or a memory of a companion and Its just something really important to me! I prayed all night and in the morning we went and ran where we walked to look for it and nothin... I was super sad. but..... Heavenly Father is so good and hears EVERY WORD! 2 days later after walking that route about 5 times looking for it everytime, my district leader called and said he had found it! 2 days later! And where he said he had found it was an area we walked past soo many times! But who cares I was just soo happy! Prayer is so real! And he DOES answer them!! Im so happy to be reunited with my plaque :)

   So back to that secret passage, we went back later this week to visit the others and turns out this secret passage is super huge! it had a corner so we couldnt really see how far it actually went! We were able to contact all 5 families and had a lesson with one of them! which went really well. We met Pavel (27) and Vanessa (20), they are sibblings and are super awesome! there house is soooo nice! It was really suprising to walk into, we haven't been able to meet there parents but they are married!! So we are teaching 3 out of the 6 families that live there! And have return appiontments with the other 3! WE call it our ´Passaje escogido´ WE are really excited to teach these families!!! so it total we had 7 new investagators! We were very happy!

     This week we are headed to Lima because Elder Waddell is coming from the 70 to talk to us. Im super excited for that! Then saturday is cambios!! I'm really not sure if I'll be going or not.. but the next time youll hear from me will be next tuesday! 

    Also I loooooove my pedometer! Its the best! Its so fun to see how much we walk and run. We walked/ran 38.6 miles this week. And 9 of those I ran. I run about 2.5 miles everyday six times per week. This week we got jipped a few excersizing days for interviews and intercambios. But yeah we walk alllot! My calves are starting to look like moms! (haha but not my pathos as adelaide would say ;) )

   WEll I love being a missionary! Its seriously the best! I love learning everyday and becoming closer to my savior and understanding what he did for me. I felt this week every time I bore my testimony I was just kept saying it over and over to them pleading them to just try it out for themselves. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!! so so so much! its hard not to just suffocate people with my testimony of it! They gotta plant the seed themselves... but I absolutely love what I do! Hope Papanwa has a FABULOUS day!! Eat lots of ice cream for me! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD! Thanks for teaching me how to be a missionary! Hope you all have the best week ever!! We´ll see where I'm at the next time I talk to you! LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Love,

Hermana Nielsen

   

Holy smokes so much happened this week I feel like you're all soo far behind!! Well to start out we met with Pilar this week! She is an old investagator so the hnas before had been teaching her, and she knew EVERYTHING! She has been going to church for about the past 6 months but her parents never gave her permission until... NOW!! She is getting baptized THIS Saturday! She is literally like Mana from Heaven! WE had orginally planned to put the date the 21 of march, but while we were in the lesson I got thinking and looked at our calender and saw that our temple trip was scheduled for the 7 of march and she could go, so without saying anything to my companion I invited her to be baptized the 28 of febuary. It kind of shocked my companion cause that was only about a week and a half away. BUt once I explained the temple trip to Pilar everyone got on board, and Pilar is so excited! So she will be baptized this saturday and go to the temple next saturday! Start with the end in mind! End being the TEMPLE! Thats what president keeps telling us and I finally understand how true that is! Im so excited! Pilar is incredible! She passed her interview with flying colors. Yesterday in sacretmeeting she was so neat to watch, she was praying and just doing it right. ha, Hna Peña passed me a not that said ´Ella es tan escogida¨ SO TRUE! Then last night we watched the restoration video with her and afterwards she bore her testimony that she knew this church was true and that joseph smith was true, and just kept going even including that our bishop of the ward was true. haha so cute. Her parents are giving her permission but not super supportive and she just keeps saying they will follow one day its not thier time. So much faith this chica has! I just looove her so much!! So thats what will be on my mind all this next week. Baptism then temple!

    Next Frine had her BABY!!!! early sunday morning!!! Its a boy and his name is Andre! We havent been able to see her or him but they said she is doing good. Also about frine, last week we were talking to her about her accident. I knew it was from working in a bread shop but she explained in more detail this time and I was just in shock. This poor woman. Some guy she worked with was not being responsable and left a gas tank leaking or something so when she walked in and put the flame the whole room was in flames she fell back she couldnt scream because her face was in shock from being burned she was all alone and had to crawl out on her hands that were all burned towards the door. She then went on to say that sometimes the pain was soo bad she just wanted to die but she knew she couldnt leave her kids. I felt so bad. This was last june or july. SHe has been suffering for so long. Also she wont be able to take care of her baby because of her hands so a hermana that lives in Lima is taking her baby. She basically has to give up her baby. And who knows how long she says proabably about 2 or 3 years. Its so sad. I love her so much though!

The next fun thing that happened is we ran into a chineese man who was some sort of preacher. And he was not nice at all. He came up to us asking us questions and was getting all up in our face yelling at us saying our book was false. And he wouldnt let us leave, so we finally just walked away with his still yelling at us. It was in front of a huge crowd too so we got lots of stares, but too bad that wouldn't do anything to weaken my testimony of the book of mormon. Hna peña is so cute every night she prays for all those who rejected us or wouldn't let us in to their house that they will be forgiven and have another opportunity. She even prayed for this man. She is a huge example to me.

So something I came across in my studies this week was D&C 50 22-23 Wherefore he that preacheth and he that recieveth understand one another and both are edified and rejoice together. And that which doth not edify is not of God and is darkness. I love it cause I've experienced this a little in the past month. I'll be teaching a lesson and I feel im talking to myself or that what im saying in what I needed to hear. Its like im teaching both of us! Things I didnt even know I knew or understood. THats when I know I have the spirit because its guiding my words so both I and the reciever who im teaching are edified. Its the coolest thing! Then I love the next part. I can think of so many songs or movies or social media that do not edify. So that means they are darkness and we want to avoid all forms of evil or darkness. So I made some goals for after mission life to really be aware of what Im listening too or watching to see if its edifying me and if not then I need to change. It hit me pretty hard.

Other then that I just looove looove being a missionary. It was a great week and Im sooo happy!!! I love working! I completely understand now what Amber meant by I can't remember what NOT being a missionary feels like. Its so foriegn to me now. This is my life. And I'm loving every moment!!

Love you guys tons and hope you have the best week ever! 

GOOD LUCK CODY!! THIS IS YOUR YEAR! ILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU!!  !LOVE YOU!! I will admit hearing cody and the fab 5 playing thier last home game jammed a pin in my heart a little.That was always the day I couldn't wait to see, all of them playing together thier senior year. It was defiantly a sacrifice to miss that, but it was well worth it. I'm happy im here. PLAY WELL COCAMO!

Love,

Hermana Nielsen

ps, if you didnt get the chance go watch the family discovery day! It was soo good! I stole my letter title from it! :)

Mi companera! Hna peña!

Pictures from the center, The heart of ayacucho

This was a super growing week for me but I loved every bit of it! I kind of sturggled at first, I just felt this huge pressure on my shoulders to get our numbers up in our area. We having been doing great in family history but our area is suffering. One of the assistants called me to ask what was going on. Kind of embarrassing. It made me feel super bad, so I was determined to have a better week. Everyday before we left the house I would say a personal prayer by myself before our companion prayer, and just prayed to be guided to where we needed to go to find and have success. Then as we walked I tried extra hard to just focus on where we were going and what we could do. with just a constant prayer in my head. And it was amazing to see where we were lead. WE found tons of less actives we have been searching for forever! and we recieved so many references and just went from house to house. Alot was just making appointments to come back but I still felt like we were getting somewhere. We talked to everyone. My companion said her biggest fear is talking to people so I'm determined to crack it, so we made high goals to just talk to everyone! We found 3 new investagators! It was amazing! Annnnnnnd... We put one with a baptismal date!! I haven't had a person with a baptismal date since august... so I was suuuper excited! She is only 17 but she just understood everything so quickly and just got it! Her name is Estefani. So we will be working with her. She even went to the youth valentines dance on saturday! haha After the day ended I was just in shock with all that had happened. Heavenly Father is soo good. And he helped us so much. I was so grateful! 

Next family history.. So my companion has never worked in family history before so I was super excited to get to train her and teach her everything so we get there and I was kind of showing her a few things then she told me she has never really used a computer before. She didnt even know how to shut it down or turn it on. She had facebook of her phone but that was it back home. Her companions have to help her get into her email every week! I was just thinking the whole time Oh boy.. this will be fun. So we´ve been taking it nice and close. How to use copy and paste. The left and right click on the mouse. Then we´ll get into the how to use family search. So thats bee a real test of my patience this week trying to do everything and help her learn at the same time. But she´ll get it. And it will be soemthing she will need after the mission so im glad to help. She also had nothin on her family tree but her parents so we are working on getting her family history all complete too. I just keep telling how blessed she is to be learning all this. Im just worried because I will probably only have 6 more weeks here and I gotta get her to the piont where she can take over everything! But yeah its great. I love her! She is kind of shy but suuuper sarcastic. Which totally throws me off sometimes cause I can never tell if she is serious. But we are having fun together!  

During one of the lessons we watched the video I cant remember what its called but its about a family that had to sacrifice  and save for 4 years to go to the temple. Its a mormon message. Well earlier Hna Peña had told me her family isnt sealed yet and that they are making plans for when she gets home. While she was watching it I noticed her starting to tear up and as I watched it too and thought about her and her family it kind of made me tear up. Its so amazing to see what people sacrifice in other countries for temple covenants and eternal families. Im so grateful to have Hna Peña here and watch how her testimony of temples and family history grows. As it has with mine. And when she can be sealed with her family it will mean that much more because she will understand it. I just love what we do!

So with a little bit of what I mentioned at the beginning I think it just kind of hit me this week how my time is running out as a missionary. I feel there is still so much to do. And I really felt the pressure this week to get it all done and not waste any time. Its scarying me how fast the end is coming and Im not ready at all. There´s only a few minutes left in my 3rd quarter! something I read this morning that I liked from Parley p pratt when he said.´Í have all eternity before me, in which to enjoy myself´  This is only s short time I have to be a ful time servant and Im running out of this precious time. Im giving everything til the end. Also I choose a christlike attribute for every cambio and this cambio is Hope. So I will be trying to learn to develop this attribute this next 5 weeks. I love being a missionary! I love what I do everyday! Im happy, Im healthy and im Hopeful!

I hope you have a great week with amber home! 

Love,

Hermana Nielsen

ps, for valentines day presidente gave us flowers and chocolate :)

From Sis Bott's email: I do have to say that I miss hermana Nielsen a ton. She is litterally like my sister... I didnt realize how much I missed her until this past week. I bought her her favorite peanuts to send her but then it made me a little meloncholoy because I wasnt there to eat them with her... But, its ok Ill see her sometime! I love her SOOOO much. 

Family!

OH MY GOSH! I cant believe Romeny is going to RUSSIA!!!?? Thats sooo crazy! And speaking Russian? Tell her to start working on it now and to pray pray pray pray. I thought spanish was hard! That will be so great for her though! Im supper excited for her! Its making me suuper nervous to see where cody goes! EEK! I wanna say Chile or Brazil but im kind of south America bias :) I could actually see him going to Europe. Like Germany or something..YIKES cant wait to find out! Que Emoción! 

Well this week was super crazy and stressful! Trying to get everyone and everything ready for the temple! But we did it!! Our goal at the beginning of the transfer was 10 from Ayacucho. and we got... don don don... 13!! With over 70 names done!!!! we would have had 15 but a few backed out literally at the last minute! Like we had bought her ticket, which wasnt cheap, and she called and canceled 30  minutes before her bus left.. we were not happy, but we kept our calm and everything still all worked out GREAT! I've never prayed so much in all my life. Literally I felt like I was just in a constant prayer all week long about everyone who was planning on going! We had two couples who came! One had been saving up for this trip and had a jar that said temple on it. SOOOO CUTE! I'll hopefully be sending that picture next week! We drove over Friday night then met up with the Hermanas in Lima that are working in Family history. I saw Hna Guzman and Hna Mendez!! Altogether we had 23 in our group! It was great! We were soo happy! It was crazy and stressful but we did it! Huge relief off our shoulders. Trying to herd peruvians is WAY WORST then trying to herd cats. Les prometo! haha but I love them! Also we needed help with the baptisms so I called around and all my good friends from Villa El Salvador came! I JUST LOVE THEM SOO MUCH!! The familia Lopez came, and the Familia Cordava! So great to see them and catch up! 

After everything, we finally got to just take a deep breathe and relax a bit. Since our bus doesnt leave til 9:30 we got to do a session which was so perfect. We were soo tired so I was trying so hard not to fall alseeep ooops. But It was just the perfect end to our week. While in the celestial room we were just talking and a lady asked us if we could help with a sealing and represent the children. I had never done a sealing before. We had them ask permission if we could as missionarie and I guess we can if we are only children. It was suuper cool! I loved it. The spirit is soo strong in the temple. I just love it. And I love my job in helping others get there to feel it too! Literally the best! Nothing compares to the spirit in the temple. NOTHING! 

So this week is jammed packed! Guess what?? Hna Bott and I are headed to Lima again tomorrow, but president said since he doesnt want us tired we get to go by PLANE!! I get to fly over Ayacucho Perú tomorrow! Im sooo excited! We have a family history meeting with the temple and all the other family history Hermanas. Then Wednesday we have leadership meeting so we will just stay there. and head back wednesday night.. Then sunday we have combios. ...so Hna Bott will proabably be headed to Lima again! for the 3rd time in one week. haha. Were super sad cause we already pretty much know she is going... 

So something interesting I've been thinking about. The other day at church, the teacher asked me how many times I pray everyday. It totally caught me off guard. So I said alot. haha. But then I started thinking about it and counting and I hadn't even left the house and I was already at like 14. As missionaries we pray so much, but in my head I dont even think I could count how many times! I love love love love prayer! I pray so much about everything! Its such a blessing to be able to comunicate in whatever moment we need with our heavenly father! 

Also about the package. Honestly mom I can't think of anything I need.. I dont need clothes so dont send me more. Im trying to get rid of things so I wouldnt want anything that would just take up more room to bring home. But something I was thinking that I would want would be a pedometer, we are always curious how much we run/walk everyday. so idk thats an idea. But really other then that nothin I'd have to just haul back home please. haha.

Well I love being a missionary! I love peru! I love the Temple! and I Love you ALL! 

Have a fabulous week!! 

Love, 

Hermana Nielsen

Haha Hna Bott and I love just talking about how great our families are gonna get along someday, Im glad you think we are a lot alike Dad! haha! We really do just get along so well, a little too well sometimes we think, and are best friends! And we both laughed when we read today that Mom and Marry Bott talked on the phone! haha! WE just love it! 

 This week went by suuper fast! President sent us a great letter. In it he mentioned that as a mission we have been telling ourselves quailty over quantity because we have lowered our baptizing numbers but all of those have been getting to the temple and staying active because of our push in family history. Well he told us that how great shall be our joy if we have MANY, and then went on to say he wants QUALITY AND QUANTITY! I felt a little guilty because I havent had a baptism since august.. It was kind of in my mind all week. We were then listening to talks and one by Erying during preisthood session came on, it didnt have anything to do with family history but he mentioned a part about men giving service in the temple and that the joy they recieved from doing it was only a part of the joy they will recieve after this life. And the thought just came to my mind, I haven't met any of my converts yet. And won't meet them til after this life. Yeah I may not have taught them, but I know each one of their names and have had the oppertunity to learn a little about them as I talk to these converts about them. I can't wait to meet every single one of them someday! That will be one special day. It made me feel alot better about what I'm doing. AND this week we are going to the temple! WE are heading over friday night! ANd we have over 20 names we are bringing. and 15 people we are praying! So this week will be crazy trying to get everyone recomends and finding buses. BUt we are super excited!

   Wednesday we were walking back from an appointment and we ran into a white girl! (not many of those around here) Her name is Hannah, she is from california and 28 and spoke english so we naturally jumped on the oppertunity to talk to her she was walking down the same long dirt road so we got a 20 min chat in with her. She is a jehovahs witness and has been in ayacucho for 2 years and plans to live here the rest of her life as a ´missionary´ too. She isn't married and lives with other people from around the world serving here too. we talked about alot of things. The book of mormon of course was her biggest concern. She strongly believed the bible was all we need and that there was nothin that says in the bible that there is another book. It was honestly the BEESSST!! I loved just talking and bearing my testimony in English! It felt so good! Is that what english speaking missions feel like all the time? haha but we just testified of the book of mormon and that she needed to pray. She was actually super nice! At the end we exchanged emails and thanked each other for the great chat. She told us that she loved that we taught with so much conviction and that she really admired that. (in my head, well yeah cause I've never been so sure of anything in my life than this!!!) It was a great experience. We gave her a few things to read and scriptures to look up. I really hope one day she comes into the gospel she really was just such a sweet lady! We could use a dedicated member like her. but well see, were just planting seeds!

   Yesterday Hermana King went home. She was one of the newer missionaries, still in training that we have been helpíng. I can't give an exact reason of why only that she wasn't happy here and struggled alot. It was sad and hard for both of us because we didn't want her to quit. But we did all we could as leaders for her. Transfers are in 2 weeks and president has mention a lot of things are changing over here in ayacucho. I may be opening an area but still here in ayaucho. Like a ward switch or something.. so well see what happens..

Lastly Hna botts mom told you about the package but I also have one I want to send home with her Dad, so I dont know if there is any time you guys have plans to drive to utah to pick it up or I guess she could sent it to ya too. Let me know what would work best. BUt im sending one with him si o si! 

 I love every minute here in ayacucho with Hna Bott! Life seriously is just soo good as a missionary! Dont have much more info on the whole family gallegos sealing but ill let ya know. LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!

Love,

Hermana Nielsen

 Esta semana ha sido MUY BIEN! Primeramente tuvimos 13 lecciones en historia familiar! woohoo! La semana pasada solo tuvimos 2... entonces fue muuucho mejor! La lunes pasada tuvimos una noche de hogar con la familia Machaca, (hay fotos) y dibujamos nuestros familias y hablamos en como podemos mejorar y fortecler nuestras familias y lo escribimos en la papel y los pegamos en la pared. Fue muuy divertida. Yo amo a esta familia! Esta progresando muy lentos todavia pero somos pacientes. Martes tuve una intercombio con Hna Tuquerres! Fue lo maximo! Ella es super! Solo hay 3 miembros en su familia y todos son menos activos. Ella es muuy fuerte! Aprendi mucho de ella! Miercoles fuimos a HUANTA! es una lugar como una hora de ayacucho, hay elderes serviendo alli, fuimos para hacer lecciones en historia familiar! la camino es muuuy bonito! Jueves tuvimos oltra leccion con la familia machaca, hablamos de la resturacion oltra vez, poco a poco con ellos.. 

Alright sorry im running out of time and this is just a little bit faster! Presidente came for interviews this week! We had to think and prepare a question. I prayed and couldnt think of anything doctrine or investagators wise that i could ask. So i decided to ask him what kind of missionary he saw me as, if he were to describe me to someone else what would  he say about me, my weaknesses and my strengths. He didnt quite give me the answer i was looking for but he told me he said me as one of the sons of mosiah that wanted to help others and a few other more personal things, but then he told me He was the wrong person to be asking. ANd that that was something i needed to prayerfully ask my heavenly father, so I would be shown my weaknesses to be able to improve them. It was super good. I just love president soo much! He also mentioned alot of After all we can do.. And that if i was doing all that I could do then everything would work out, in respect to family history and getting all those converts to the temple (he also mentioned he wanted all the converts in the last 24 months from all of ayacucho to get to the temple!) so thats what Ive been asking myself lately if Im really doing all that I can do. All that is requiered of me here in my area and in family history.
