Muy buenos días!
This
was another great week for Elder de la Flor and I here in Santa Isabel!
We kicked it off by going to San Juan de Lurigancho on Monday. We got permission from the assistants to go to get some suits down and it brought
back A LOT of memories. We had to pass by one of my favorite areas, Los
Manzanos to get there and it made me remember a lot of people, converts,
and friends that I had left behind in that area. I came to become
friends with so many great people there that put their trust in the Lord
and in His Atonement to be able to change their lives. I'm grateful for
missionary work and the Atonement, it really does change peoples lives
for the better.
I have
also got an update on Christian and Melisa for this week. Last Friday
Melisa went through a surgery that left her on bed rest and she can't
really move at all, so we couldn't get them written into the wedding for
this month. They're going to be getting married and baptized at the end
of September. Even though I won't be here for those two big events, I
have seen great changes in them and in their family. They read the Book
of Mormon every day and have gained a testimony of it. Just as I know
the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet, they also
know it. They have came so much closer to God by reading the Book of
Mormon, it is the secret to happiness.
This
week we worked really hard and were able to find a few new families to
teach. They weren't able to come to church but I know that if we can
teach them again this week and get them to read the Book of Mormon they
will come.
Anyway, the work is going good down here in Lima! ¡Que tengan una buena semana!

 |
| La Hermana Jacky prepared takacho con cecina with arroz chaufa for us! It is
a food from la selva (jungle). Takacho is salted fried and dried green
bananas, it is pretty much the best thing some one can eat. |
