happy new year!! (Jan. 12, 2026)

definitely meant to send this last week but here we are. this week was soooo full of miracles and complete JOY! hope yours was too! 

random 
• had a lesson in a discoteca (club) never thought i would be reading the book of mormon in a peruvian club 
• happy new year!! we watched the fireworks from our roof again and ate 12 grapes. it was soo fun 
• intercambio with hermana villagomez 
• got hazed by a drunk guy for 30 minutes and then he killed his dog... 
• ate "nachos" with Tommy and the elders 

milagros 
• we put keyro on date!! he is my favorite ever. future missionary for sure  
• we had so many surprise dates for baptism. people that we didnt know just randomly showing up to church, or moving into our area already having a baptismal date. it has been incredible finally seeing the results of so many weeks of having to be patient. God really does have a plan! 
• it clicked. the elders always told me that the absolute love and joy of the mission will click eventually. obviously i have always loved the mission but the joy part of it finally hit me. 
• my comp is a new convert for 2 years now and her parents are not members. but sunday, they showed her a picture that they went to church for the first time!! 

something spiritual 
i read this amazing story about a missionary in england. it opened my eyes to a whole new perspective about the mission and the power we have as missionaries. God did not call us here to fail. He did not call us here just because. He called us here because He has a purpose for us. He gave us power to complete that purpose. we should never be scared because it is His work. we can never mess up His work. it is the same thing in life. God did not send us here to fail. He has a plan and so much potential for each of us and we can not mess up that plan. 
love you all!

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...
