  What's going on everyone? I hope you've all had an amazing week! On Monday we visited hermana Marily and hermano Marcelo. They have so many great stories about their missions and taught me a lot of things. They are also very willing to help despite of their tight schedules. Hermana Marily offered to host a noche de hogar with a few of our friends and other inactive members! They also by chance a few weeks ago had done some service for hermana Mirian when the house next door to her burned. ¿How cool is that? I returned very edified and with a lot of new ideas. On Tuesday after lunch we taught hermana Carmen about temples. Our lesson with Mirian sadly fell through but we went over to hermano James and had a great lesson with him. We're still helping him receive his answer if the church is true. He's keeping his commitments. After that we passed by a small store and felt the spirit that we should talk with the lady working there. We started to talk to her and learned tha...

  Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well! After pday on Tuesday all of our lessons sadly fell through. Once again, our lesson with Verónica and Kike fell. But we still had a lesson with hermana Isabel and her family. We're trying to help them have the desire and understand rhe importance of marriage, so we listened to Elder Godoy's talk from the last conference so they can understand that their decisions really fo and will affect their posterity. We sent them Elder Christofferson's talk to listen to in their own time and then we're going to hit them with Elder Oak's talk top it off! On Wednesday we had district council that went a little long but we got cheetos and Inca Kola for our good work. After that we started an exchange with Buenos Aires 2, Elder Ochoa and Elder Hadfield. I brought Elder Hadfield with me to Chan Chan. He was relieved to be speaking in English with me. After lunch we visited hermano Johan, a man we had street contacted on Monday. He ha...

  Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! I sure did! On Monday we had a quick mission videocall about organizing our PMEs, so we quickly got to work on doing that. On Tuesday we visited hermana Carmen and then taught hermano James afterward. We're trying to help him receive an answer that everything he's been learning is true. Later that night we taught hermano Jose about how the scriptures can help him. That night we had a fogata (campfire) outside of the house of hermana Jovana where we talked with hno Andy about his mission and the funny and weird experiences he had in Lima Central. We lso had pollo broaster for dinner that night. On Wednesday we had district council amd afterwards we started an exchange with Los Cedros 1. I stayed in Chan Chan with Elder Gallego's trainee, Elder Espinoza. It was an awesome experience to be with a brand new missionary again and focus on one or two specific things to help him develop. He has a very strong testimony and it defini...

  Hola todos! How are you doing? After pday on monday we had a quick lesson with hermano Jose and her sister Andrea joined us for it. On Tuesday we started to do a bit of planning for the zone because we had the spirit of revelation with us. After lunch we had a drop lesson with Sebastian, someone who only believes in the Torah and doesn't really want to learn more. We gave hermana Carmen a blessing of health because she requested it and later taught hermano James about the Holy Ghost. He finished his exams so he should have more time now. We tried finding a few pfs using the ward member list, but we just got rejected by others instead. We taught hermano Cicerón about the fall of Adam and Eve and he had a lot of great questions, like always. That night we visited hermano Valentino and he filled out his baptismal form and we taught him a few of the commandments. That night as we walked him we got a callfrom the APs and they told us that I was staying and that Elder Agostinelli would...

  I hope you all had an amazing Conference weekend! I hope you all learned a lot like I did! After pday we cleaned up Predicad Mi Evangelio by calling and texting all of our green and yellow dots. On Tuesday we had exchanges with the APs. I stayed here in Chan Chan with Elder Beizaga. I had set a goal that I wanted to smile more, and then even before lunch almost all of our lessons we had planned fell through, and then our plans kept changing during the day because lessons were canceling. It really was an opportunity to practice smiling. We taught hermana Mirian for the first time in a while. E Beizaga had taught her when he was here, and he told me she seems like a totally different person now and is a lot more receptive. We later had a lesson with hermano Jose, Andrea's brother. Before he wasn't really interested, but he's going through a pretty tough time right now and has softened a little to the gospel. He doesn't know much, but that's our purpose. We testified...
