Week 43: Getting to know Camanà

Hey ya´ll! Camanà is sooo beautiful. This week we worked super hard and walked a ton. One thing that I love about the mission is how many interesting people I get to meet. We met Rolando who is 100 years old and for his work traveled around Perù taking the sap out of trees to sell to big companies. We met Ismael who is 70 years old but super ripped and who is an extremely quotable person. We taught Estela who has dirt floors but her house is the cleanest I´ve seen here. She can`t read but she feels the Holy Ghost. We met Alduvina who rented rooms to the missionaries for years. She is now a widow and lives alone. 
 But the best person is the one that we talk about every day. I meet all of these people because I am talking to them about one person. Jesus Christ. Because of Him, I am in the wonderful country of Perù. Because of Him I have the opportunity to repent and constantly improve. Because of Him I can live with my family forever. Beacause of Him, I don´t need to feel alone or misunderstood. Because of Him, I feel an indescrieable peace and love in my heart.
