Another week gone by and looks like I´ve lived two decades now.. haha never thought that day would come! Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes!! Our pensionista made the cutest cake for me and we had french fries and hamburgers haha good old American food eh? Later we went to visit a family of recent converts and they had bought a cake for me too.. Looks like I might be chubby by the end of the week because today we´re having a party with our zone to celebrate!

The most wonderful birthday present I got was definitely Saturday. Perla was baptized!! Ahh I wish you all could have seen her beautiful face when she walked into the church Saturday night. She was just beaming! You know just by looking at her that she is one very special daughter of our Heavenly Father. The water was cold, but she looked so happy when she came out of the font. My companions and I sang ¨I like to look for rainbows¨ in spanish for part of the program. Sunday she was confirmed in sacrament meeting. A couple minutes before the meeting started the ward secretery came and told me that the Bishop wanted me to speak for a few minutes. I was totally not prepared to speak in Spanish to our whole ward... but what could I do? I talked about faith and shared some scriptures.. I think it went ok!

This week was a little interesting, we´re still trying to get the hang of things as a trio and with new investigators and everything. Thursday we took Hermana Huerta to the Hospital because she has been sick for a while. She had an endoscopy.. (extremely grateful I don´t have to do that... can you imagine having that done in a hospital in Peru?) They told her that her stomach and liver are inflamed (I think.. inflamado in spanish is inflamed right? I´m starting to forget some words in english.) But we´ll find out Thursday for sure what is going on with my little companion!

Sorry I don´t have any time left to write, but I will do my best to send some pictures of the week. I feel like I´m slacking again this week.. sorry everyone! Hope you all are doing well!!
