Hello family!
And hello
September! How crazy is that?! This week was a craaaazy one. Really. We
were pooped. But that means we were working hard so I’m happy about it :)
We started with two
intercambios... In a row. Ask me how that was? BAD. Bad idea, Hermanas. Bad
idea. I was with my favorite, Hermana Stringham though. Yay! We decided we
bring out the worst in each other and just make each other trunky, talking
about how much we miss Taylor Swift lol. She cracks me up. We were, at one
point, talking about how crazy Peru is and how it’s sometimes hard to feel the
Spirit at sacrament meeting here with the kids screaming and all the craziness
and she goes, "Ya know what? I think it might be because they just don’t
sing very pretty here..." I just started laughing, but she was being
totally serious haha. It is true though... Maybe a piano would help??
Then on Thursday,
President came to our ward council, which was great. We NEVER have had a ward
council with everyone there. There’s a lot of weeks when we don’t even have it,
but when everyone found out President was comin, they were there (on time, I
may add...) and ready to go. It was great! Now they know what it should be like
every week. We’ll see if they show up this week ;)
We also had
interviews with President and Hermana Rowley. They are seriously two of the
coolest people I know. I know I shouldn’t say my mission president and his wife
are "cool" but really. They are. I always come away feeling so great!
This time President and I were talking about plans for after the mission and he
told me, "The way a missionary ends their mission tells me a lot about who
they really are. It says a lot about their character. I’ve seen missionaries
just take a break the last 6 months, and that’s when I see who they truly
are." He is the best! He always knows how to help me just keep
going.
This week we also
washed motos for hours :) That was fun! We washed their motos for free and they
gave us their address so we can visit them. Good trade, right? Right!
Saturday guess
which member visited people with us?! Sandra! It was so great! She’s now finding
names of her ancestors to go the temple in November! YAY!
Jefferson is also
getting baptized this Saturday, which is Hermana Rivera’s birthday. :) It
should be a fun week filled with cake, eggs, and food because that’s all they
do for birthdays here :) I already planned an egging with the Elders today and
we all egged Hermana Rivera :) On the plus side, it’s good for her hair :)
We also found a
new investigator, Omar. Pray for him yeah? I don’t have much time left to tell
more but we’ll see what happens this week :)
This is also the last week of this transfer. It’s always hard
when transfers come around, but everything that happens, happens for a reason.
I’m just beyond grateful for the people I’ve met here and the eternal
friendships I’ve made. Peru and its people are the best. There’s nothin like it
:)
Hope you all have a great week! Love you all SO much!
Love,
Hermana Roper
