I can't even describe how amazing it feels to hear about how many missionaries that are going to out and how Grams and Gramps are going too. We are going to get SO many blessing. I can't stop smiling when I think about how united our family is in the gospel even if we are so far away!
NOOOOOO TRANSFERS! We don't know why because our president basically told us we would. But I guess the Lord has some more work for us to do. And good! Because we really are just overcoming some difficult times and now we are entering into the time to receive the fruits of our obedience and work! I am so happy! D rose and I are soooooo great together. I am having a fun time.
The other day I had the absolutely worst day of my mission. It was just so terrible. I don't need to tell you why but just know that everyone is catholic here! EVEN THE MORMONS ARE CATHOLIC! But God is good and at around 8 in the night that terrible day he sent us a member. She fed us, talked to us, and even sewed my shirt haha. God knew we gave our all that day and he does NOT abandon his children in their times of need. The members here are so great. I have my Peruvian family here. The family Yarin. They are so great!
Sometimes I feel like I'm not making enough of a difference. Then I read this quote by Utchdorf - ¨The Lord knows where you are, and he will use you in his own way, and for his holy purposes, those who incline their hearts to him.¨ So it doesn't matter what I feel like I am doing. Because I am here with all my heart inclined to him. I don't know God's purposes and I might never know the effect I'm having here. He knows his children and knows what they need and will use me to give it to them. I AM A TOOL! haha. ( want another FHE assignment? Look up >Elder Bednars talk about the 20 franks or be good girls and boys, then relate it to me and you guys) I even had another example of this the other day when we were talking to a man who we contacted and didn't think anything of it, but later found out it was the direct answer to his prayer. Tears were shed and testimonies strengthened. God uses me even when I don't know it.
Peru is so pretty! ( from far way) Because actually it's pretty disgusting.
You guys should move here, because you would be so rich....but then you would be in Peru so...your choice -haha
The dogs in my last area Canete weren't as fortunate as the dogs here in Lima. They have clothes here! Even the homeless dogs have clothes here! PROBRECITOS!
So this is my house- Yes I basically live in a catholic church. It's so great.
It's gunna be wierd coming home without a line of guys waiting just to meet me.! What am I going to do!?
These are new cards we have to give out to the members. Basically the best idea ever! It says how the members can give a soul to the Lord for Christmas! We have already received some of these back! Maybe you should do this in your area!?
Love Hermana Quist!
