One Year Down...



Well this week was also really normal. The only really exciting thing that happened was that I completed y first year in the mission on Thursday! It's crazy how fast time has gone by. We celebrated with a couple of families that made cake and dinner and stuff and that was pretty cool. I was freaking stuffed by the time we got to our room haha. This week we also had stake conference and it was a really good conference. They talked a lot about missionaries and members working together to find people to teach and rescuing the less actives. 
It has been a really hard last couple weeks here for us. We have been trying to find new people to teach and haven't been having any luck at all. We have been talking with pretty much every person we see and nobody wants to talk to us or when we go to their house they aren't there. I was reading in the Book of Mormon in Alma and was feeling a lot like Alma did when he was rejected by the people. But i really liked how the Lord told him to be patient and diligent and he would give him success. I felt like it was talking right at me haha. I finished the Book of Mormon about a week ago and set the goal to read it all in two weeks. So far I'm a little over halfway through so hopefully I can pull it off. 

Love you guys.

Well this week was pretty normal for us here. We are still trying to find investigators and haven't been having any luck. We are just working with tons of less actives right now and a few of them are progressing and coming back to church. Nothing too exciting happened this week... other than on Monday we made banana bread and chocolate chip cookies at a members house and it turned out awesome. Then yesterday we were cooking with them again and we made ratatouille haha. Other than that I can't think of to much that happened here. It's getting hotter down here and that means that we are going in to spring and then summer...so  hopefully I survive another summer in Piura haha...Piura is the city of eternal heat. I don't have too much to say this week. It was a pretty normal and boring week. Hopefully this week will be a little more exciting with me completing one year in the mission and all that haha. There are a few families that want us to go to their house to have a little party and celebrate haha. mi primer añito. que rapido pasò el tiempo. no lo puedo creer. esto es todo por esta semana. los amo.

Translation: My first birthday. That time went fast . I can not believe it . That's all for this week. I love them. (Them or you...you decide!)
