story time (Oct. 13, 2025)

hello! back at it with another week in iquitos peru. heres a list of things that happened this week that would probably only ever happen in the jungle 😁 

random
• our entire house flooded hehe :)
• i got bed bugs yay
• we didnt have power or water in our house for 3 days 
• but we had interviews with President!! so that was amazing. he helped me think a lot about life
• we made smores in the oven and they were soo good 

so the flooding story..
on wednesday i went to fill up my water bottle like normal and when i turned the faucet on the whole thing fell off and water just started pouring out, got me completely soaked within seconds. so we fixed it temporarily and called all of our leaders and our homie valentino. bro drove an hour just to come help us, what a good lad. but they fixed the faucet, temporarily, and we left to go to work. a few hours later we get a call from our landlord saying that there is wster spilling out of our house. so we ran home anfdsure enough our entire house was completely full of water. we spent 4 hours scooping the water into buckets and dumping in the shower. most tired i've ever been on my mission honestly. we finally got it fixed and now our whole house smells like mold. love peru 🫶🏻 

so that basically took up our entire week, trying to figure all that out. but we still had some miracles
• we found this guy named Victor..well he walked right up to us and asked to learn more, and then he came to church!! first sundayy! he's so gold 
• this 19 year old kid named Kevin walked up to us one night and told us that something was telling him to come talk to us...he was very drunk. but we came back 2 days later and he wasn't drunk and he wants to get baptized! sick 

something spiritual 
President Nelson once said, "When you begin to catch even a glimpse of how your Heavenly Father sees you and what He is counting on you to do for Him, your life will never be the same." 
Just read it a few times and try and see yourself how He sees you. He would never say a single rude, judgemental thing about you. His plan is incredible and you are part of this plan. He needs you and is counting on you! He has so much confidence in us and knows who we can become as we look to Him every day 🫶🏻

hello friends!! hope you are all doing well. BAPTISM WEEK for us!  *Cheysi got baptized on Tuesday! It was so so sweet and so special. she just started crying when she bore her testimony saying how much she knows this gospel is gonna change her life. ah she's the best  *we had a crazy miracleee. we were teaching a new convert and her great niece walked into the room and asked us what she needed to do to get baptized. and she came to church yesterday!!!  *saw a massive tarantula.. no thanks  *had sunday lunch w my favorite family ever! talked to them for like 3 hours straight, straight chisme (only good chisme)  *saw the light of Christ every single day :)  spiritual thought ->  "be a creator of your circumstances and not a creation" we all go through hard times. we all have trials, whether they be big or small but we get to choose what we do with it. we can choose to let it make us into better people or tear us down. with the help of Jesus Christ, t...
