Tomorrow I will complete 8 months in the mission and on Saturday I will be an old 20 year old and I would just like to know, where is the time going?? I am emailing a little later today because today for Pday, we went to some ruins about 40 minutes from our area. We went as a district and it was fun! We walked a lot in the hot and dusty and sunny roads and there really werent any ruins...but! we did have a spiritual testimony meeting with a great view of the beautiful desert that is Tacna. I love the people of Peru but I also love that while I get to preach the gospel to the Peruvians, I also get to work alongside so many wonderful sisters and elders. It is so interesting how all of the different missionaries have such diverse backgrounds and stories. Some are converts, some are long time members, some were inactive, some have a lot of support from home, some dont. But the important thing, is that we all set aside our interests and studies and careers and families to come and preach the word of God. To invite others to come unto Christ. I hope that everyday, I can focus my life on JesusChrist and try to follow His example with more exactness everyday. I love being a missionary and I love working with Hermana Gould. She is such a gem! Love you all and thank you for the birthday wishes!
