welcome to the jungle (May 5, 2025)

Well. What. A. Week. 

I always said that the jungle was a crazy place, but I really learned that this week. I finally have my first crazy mission story. Lets gooo! 

To make it brief, we got robbed and now I don't have a phone anymore. Shucks. So on saturday we were just going about our business, updating the PME app and such when these two nice looking Peruvian men walked up to us. I thought they wanted to learn more about Jesus Christ. I realized that they wanted nothing to do with the Savior when one of them grabbed me by the arms, whipped out his gun and held it to my side. That was not very nice. My comp, Hermana Parkisitooo ran as the other guy was trying to grab her and she screamed really loud to get everyone's attention. What a smart one she is because it made the guys scared and they ran away. But bro ran away with my phone. Ugh. What a little wimp. But you don't really realize how much you miss your mom until you have a gun pointed at you. Haha. 🫤 But were fine now. Just gonna try to be a little more careful! 

On a brighter note... we had a baptism!! ALEXANDER! What a sweet lad. He was so ready to hear the gospel. He is a single dad with two adorable little girls. He just kept saying how excited he was for this change in his life. I felt the spirit so strong and knew that this moment was going to change his life forever. Christ can change lives forever. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the hope that we all need. It gives this life purpose. It gives us a sense of identity. It gives us goals, hopes, and dreams. I don't know who are where I would be without my loving Savior and His atoning sacrifice. I just want all my friends to know that! 

Life out here is wild, but my Heavenly Father is always looking out for us. Thank you so much for your prayers. Glad to be alive 🫠 
Love you all! Hope the guy that stole my phone sees my Jesus screen saver and has a change of heart 
Oh and if I haven't answered you...sorry...i kinda don't have a phone right now. 
Love you all! 

Hermana Micheli
