Do do do doo.. here comes the sun, and I say.. It`s alright! But really I am so excited because finally the sun is coming out and I feel a little bit more invigorated to be able to keep working hard! I just hope it doesn`t get too hot! The bad part is that it got hot the day after we went to Lima Central.. bummer, but Wednesday was super cool! We went to a museum that had some creepy stuff.. lots of catholic history and bones... eww! We also went to the Plaza de Armas.. that was cool, there are some pictures attached below of our little trip! I found some cool paintings and I was going to buy them, but they were a little expensive.. so I told the guy no.. well then he followed me for about 3 blocks until I finally had to just say NO.. and he left.. wow talk about pressure.. haha! We took the train home and then I got sick... so not fun, but oh well it was still a great experience overall!

This week has been a little bit harder than the rest, but I am getting excited for the weeks to come we have some good plans coming up... So recap for the week on the investigators:

Rubi had her pre-interview and everything went great! We are so so so excited for her wedding this Friday and then her baptism along with her kids on Saturday! I think it is going to be a pretty crazy week! She is getting her dress ready, shoes, everything.. really girly stuff, but it is cute to see her all excited! 

The Gordillo family... ahh they are so wonderful, but... they didn`t go to church on Sunday, which means that their baptism is going to be moved until October.. darn! We were able to talk to their son Brayan and we are helping to get him a little more involved in learning about the gospel which I think will really help push his mom, because Lucy really wants him to be involved with good friends and doing good things, which is exactly what the church desires and teaches. We weren`t able to visit them very much during the week because they were busy a lot, but we will see how everything goes this coming week..

Miguel is doing GREAT!! He is coming to church now every week, reading the Book of Mormon and in his free time he reads the church magazines. He really is one of our golden investigators! His baptism will be on September 27th, so the following week!

Edith... is awesome, but also didn`t go to church on Sunday so we have to start counting over again with her asistences... what a bummer, but I know she will progress, maybe just a little bit slower than we thought at first! We taught her together with one of her friends this week and the cool part was that she wasn`t even ashamed to share and she was talking about how much we have blessed her life.. how cool is that?

Spiritual thought for the week: Acts 17:27-28

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

We are his offspring... In him we live and move.. If it were not for our loving Heavenly Father we would literally have and be nothing... there is nothing more beautiful than to know that we are children of God.. I think I say that a lot, but it`s because it`s really true.. it`s the knowledge that has changed me and helped me to really understand my purpose. It´s the knowledge that is probably the most important in this life.. if we really come to know God we will gain the greatest relationship and the one that matters most. I invite you all to come closer to your Father in Heaven... to feel His love.. because He knows you by name and knows everything about you. Trust in Him.. Thanks for your support and your love that I feel constantly!
