Woof, Navidad!!

Hey Mom!!!

So it was absolutely amazing to talk to you guys!!! Like holy crap. I didn't know what to do afterwards. I kind of just sat there for a bit and just thought about you guys. I miss you!!! But I know that all of you are having a great time without me and I am having a great time here in Peru! So its okay.

I am so jealous of all your adventures!!! I miss the snow so much. Like I am tried of sweating. All I really want is a snowman. That's all I want. Haha. But its okay. Somedays are really pretty and I find ways to deal with the heat and with the sweat. I drink a lot of water and pee alot. TMI? ehhh.

Okay for this week. I'll be honest, it was really really slow. We had a really hard time teaching and finding people because of the Holidays. Everyone was either too busy for us or they had family and couldnt talk. ( I can't figure out how to do quotations but imagine quotations). But we had some good expreiences this week!! We worked hard and knocked a lot of doors with little success. But thats the way it will be! We did find one guy though. We were just knocking and knocking and no one was letting us in and then we knocked on one door and the first thing the guy said to us was please come in!!! We went in and shared a scripture and then he said look boys, many people come to my door trying to preach the gospel and I never open my door to them, but today I did and I don't know why. I think God is trying to tell me something. At this moment I was just like YES!!!! Finally!!!! Unfortunately he says that he is hard to find at his house because he works a lot but if we pass by once again and he is there he would love to hear our message. It was so great. I really hope to find him again.

Another cool thing that happened was yesterday. We were visting the sister that we baptized on Saturday and just checking if she is reading and praying and everything is hunky dory. She said yes and then she started sharing a story of how she was reading the introdutction of the B.o.M. and the testimony of Joseph Smith and she said she just had this feeling deep inside her. She didn't know what it was and when she looked at the picture of Joseph Smith she felt it even stronger. It was so cool. I told her that was the Holy Ghost and that it was testifying to her that The Book of Mormon was true. She was like ohhhh yeah! Of course!! It was such a cool experience. 

I love the Book of Mormon so much!! I am reading it right now in spanish and I am almost half was through!!! It is so cool reading it in spanish because when I don't understand things the spirit testifies of the priciple that is being taught and I learn so much! It is really really neat. My spanish is really cruising along.

Well I hope yall have a great time in St. George and everything is fun!!! I love you!!!!! Happy New Year!!!!!
