April 18th, 2016

Fam and Friends.

So, there was def an earthquake in Piura.  It was miniscule and I loled the entire time because really it just felt like I was in a mediocre bouncy house for approx. one minute. Hahaha. But mark it off the bucket list!

This week was also transfers:( They were terrible. Both Hermana Spainhower and Elder Peterson are leaving:(  This transfer was easily the most hilarious and I will miss Hermana Spainhower and Elder Peterson immensely. Mostly because not a single member can say either of their last names and it is always hilarious.  My comp is also VERY sad that Elder Peterson left (he literally loves him, as do I) and he kept saying 'Peter se fue' (Peter left). It has been a sad day all around.

The highlight of this week was when some good hearted but very busy district leader forgot that we had to do a musical number this week until Saturday night (whoops #mybad).  LOL.  We all quickly decided to sing 'Ye Elderes de Israel'.  Don't ask me why because turns out NO ONE knew it that well and we got up there and did terrible. Utterly terrible.  But I loved it because it perfectly pictured our dysfunctional little district.

This week was however fantastic in the way of missionary work. My fave investigators are currently ALL OF THEM. They literally all are pulling through with their compromisos (promises) and I am stoked.  Some of my faves are Karina y Kiara.  Karina is the mom and Kiara is the daughter (she's eleven).  The mom can't see very well so Kiara reads her the Book of Mormon out loud.  When we went back last Friday for the appointment Kiara had read her mom the entire intro, testimonies of the witnesses and Jospeh Smith. Kiara also explained to us PERFECTLY what she had read, including who the Jaredites were which I didn't understand until my junior year in high school. Everyone this week was also so willing to accept baptismal dates??? (I know for a fact it's because we have been showing the #BecuaseHeLives video and that video could literally convert Hitler.) Anyway we currently have 7 dates for the 21st of May so mark your calendars folks because it's gonna be a party!

Anyway, missionary work continues to be number one. I hope all is well back at home. I love you all and take care!
