Love Conquers All & Carrying On

Monday we went to Punto Olypmipca to touch snow. It’s one of the highest points in Peru, it was amazingly beautiful and I threw a snowball :)
Tuesday we had a vista de trabjao with the district leader and anyway his companion came and worked with me, it was really great. We finally got out knocking doors and were able to find 3 families.

That night I got bit by a dog. With my other leg I punted him about 20 yards. The owner got mad and wanted me to pay.  She came out to hear her dog whining and when she saw my leg with some blood and my face that was white, she quickly closed the door, and I’m assuming she thought I was going to sue her.  Yeah, I cried like a girl with the alcohol being poured over it, but the dog didn’t have rabies so we’re all good. After the visit I figured out why I don’t like my companion.  He’s just a bully. He’s always insulting me. So I made a bet he couldn’t go one day without insulting me. He didn’t talk all day long. ;) 6 months came and went along with Valentine’s Day. I am trying to be better our relationship. I took my companion out to dinner for some tacos then came back and burned my 6month tie in the shape of a heart. Yeah that was great. Anyway the next day we went to a matrimonio of one of our less actives she will be going to the temple with her husband soon. We can do a whole lot of preaching but when you fall for a Mormon well, that has a bigger effect than all of our 3 months teaching this family;) love conqueres all right. Sunday my companion continued to insult me I don’t know what he’s trying to prove. Anyway, I didn’t have anyone come to church and felt kind of bad. But god sends his angels. Hermana Magaly came to me and asked if everything was ok. After talking me through everything she invited us to brownies tonight. She’s really nice. Our family is progressing, hopefully inviting them for a fecha to be baptized this week. The family Hurltadldo who we reactivated, there daughter is putting in her papers for the mission. She’s finally reading her book of Mormon faithfully. Hermana Yudosi my convert is preparing for the temple trip this week. I’ve felt God’s love this week and it helped a lot.

My spiritual experience this week; A young man who’s preparing to come back to the church is having problems with his repentance.  After talking to him my companion started sharing a scripture, and I said a little prayer in my heart. Just then the Spirit spoke to me.  I knew exactly what I needed to say and exactly what he was thinking. I shared that it was because Satan didn’t want him to repent. The spirit was strong and I know this is the work of God. After some repenting about my murmuring this week I’m ready to work really hard, I hope it pays off. After reading Jacob 5 our president is coming to interviews this week. He says he’s brining announcements soon from the church that he said will change the world and the way of missionary work forever and that we will tell our grandchildren we were in the mission when this happened and if we read Moroni, we will know. I read it and all I understand, it’s the last days and the lord is hastening his work.

Hope on, Carry on.
