This week was my last Concilio in Lima with all the leaders. The last one!!!!!!!!!!! We always sing Called to Serve and the ones who are going home walk up front and sing in front. I was so sad when we all had to go up there ;( our group is so big that's leaving, like half of the leaders. Just alot of crying. 
Yesterday let me just tell you how it went 1- I have a cold sore ( I'm a monster )
2- I sat in mud on the way to church because Peru is dirty and I had a stained skirt all day 3-Not one of our investigators came to church because it's Worship Saints day here. People have agency. We committed so many to go to church with plans and with members assigned...No one. 4- I lost the cell phone. I LOST THE CELL! We can't communicate with anyone! 5- My comp was driving me up the wall ... I'm so unChristlike hahah. Anyway feeling pretty bad and mad. Taking the sacrament I asked and was pleading that He can take these feelings away so I can keep going. I for just one moment didn't know how I was going to do 2 more weeks of this. THEN I asked for His Enabling Power so I could overcome my natural man and get out of my funk. Well we worked all day and I was trying to be extra positive but failing haha...we brought this member with us that decided to bare her testimony for 20 minutes about too much-the priesthood and keys and temples and endowments..... oh no it was so bad. BUT then we found a family!! We got in to the house and I asked the mom if there was something in specific that they wanted that I could ask in my prayer and she just started crying and telling us some of her problems and we found her need. Then afterwards we were impressed to share some scriptures in Moroni 7 and the husband while reading it ,started crying! The spirit just washed over us. I was literally in awe like..what's happening... this is great! We found a family that really really needs the gospel and everything I was feeling all day was drowned out and I am so grateful that God answered my prayers and gave me the opportunity to get out of my funk by working and finding people who need me.
Sometimes is amazes me how imperfect I still am. But how can someone grow and learn if he never sins? How can someone repent if they never sin? Sinning isn't bad. Sinning and not repenting is bad. I continue making mistakes. But the good thing is, they aren't the same ones I was making before. I'm progressing! Repentance is somthing amazing.
I can't wait to see you all! I love you!
These are Mamitas! They don't speak Spanish. Only Qichua. There are so many of them here. They secretly scare me because after you hug them they never let go. And just so you can get a little perspective about how my life is this is a drunk guy behind us annoying us and photo bombing.
Oh how it rained!
