Well Family! what an amazing week! first off i experienced my first two earthquakes of my life!! It was awesome! There wasnt really any damage here in Arequipa which was good but we did have to go outside and wait til it passed! We got to do a lot of service this week, helping one of our converts move and helping a family paint their house.. seems like we do a lot of painting here..haha but i love it, it always feels good to serve others!  well we worked super hard this week and i feel good about leaving my area in the hands of Hna Bazan.. who will be training! thats right im a grandma(: Conference was amazing!! I got to watch it in english which is always nice and i learned so much!! heres some of my favorite parts..

"challenges will come... but they will strengthen your faith. "

We can be in the world but not of the world. 

Families are the treasures of heaven.

Are you tied to man , or to God? 

Keeping divine commandments brings blessings Everytime, breaking divine commandments brings loss of blessings.. everytime!

There is something that can take away the bitterness of life... we can be greatfull. 

Forgiveness goes hand in hand with Love.

only forgiveness heals. 

there are sooo many more that i loved but those are some of my favorite parts of my notes. 

Well i found out saturday night that i was getting transfered.. and that im headed to Chivay! its a smaller branch thats up in the middle of nowhere, its an older traditional town and there was only 2 sets of elders there but now it will be them and me and my companion.. who is Hna Stone!! im stoked.. its going to be an adventure and i know that im going to love it. Hna Stone is awesome and i think were going to work super great as a team! Another cool thing is that they speak a lot of ketchua up there, which is another language ill be trying to learn!! anyways im super excited to get to work and to get to know everyone up there!  

 

I dont have a lot of time but i love you all and i love this work!!!! The church is true, everytime i listen to the prophet and the apostles talk i cant deny the spirit that i feel.. they are truly called of God and this is the true church of Jesus Christ. 

 

Love you all!!! Im off to CHIVAYYYYYY (:
