There is some construction going on in Paucarpata (the neighborhood I live in) and they have all these signs that are like "Please forgive us, we are working. I tried to explain the phrase "Working hard, or hardly working" to my companion but it just doesn't have the same punch in Spanish hahaha. Anyways, I thought you would all enjoy the awkward eyes-half-open picture of me with the sign.
Really, I am so grateful to be working here in Peru. The week before last was frustrating as we were not able to work with our full abilities. This past week was super awesome, however. We had interviews with President and it was super awesome to get to know him better. The next day we had a zone conference. One of the district leaders was like " This zone has more lessons taught each week than any other zone but not any more baptisms" we concluded that sometimes we go to visit people that dont really need a visit just so we can meet our goals of lessons. We decided to make an effort to contact more people and find new people to teach. It was really scary at first because we get comfortable with where we are a lot but in the end, we found 7 new people to teach this week. One of them is Anna Claudia. We knocked on her door and ended up teaching all of lesson 1. It is so amazing to see the tender mercies. We are told that the people in Peru are ready to hear the Gospel. It is true. I am glad for my leaders that give us motivation to work harder and differently than before so that we can become better missionaries. I am sorry for the email, it is getting harder and harder to write and talk in English. Love you all.
p.s. picture of me and my glasses club at English class. I love 12-year-oldgirls. Probably because I still am one haha.
