Every Member a Missionary

It's been a great week here in Granados!! Most of our citas (appointments) fell and we actually didn't teach very many investigators, but I just had a good week. We visited Aura (her husband is an inactive member in a tough spot right now) twice with the relief society president, and yesterday’s lesson was especially spiritual. We read a bit in the Book of Mormon, then talked about the Holy Ghost. Our relief society president is super awesome and shared some really amazing thoughts, the spirit was there so strong and Aura was crying and shared her feelings too. It was awesome. 

Church yesterday was chevere (cool), we had three investigators there. Testimony meeting was pretty powerful; in second hour we didn't have gospel principles because all our investigators left after first hour. But the class was on every member a missionary, and relief society addressed the importance of visiting teaching. All things that our ward needed to hear(: 

Last night, president Calderon had a meeting for all the ward councils from the wards in Trujillo and invited the missionaries. He is very spiritual and funny and it was an incredible meeting. He shared some pretty cool experiences and invited the members to be more involved in missionary work. He made all the missionaries stand up, and all the members had to go find their missionaries, tell us their schedules to accompany us to teach, and give references if they could. He’s pretty incredible, I’m sad I’ll have so little time with him as my president. 

Today we went to the Huaca de la Luna, it was way cooler than Chan Chan. and the first time that I’ve worn jeans in 17 months. Hahaha

Huaca de la Luna ("Temple of the Moon") is a large adobe brick structure built mainly by the Moche people of northern Peru. The Moche civilization flourished in northern Peru with its capital near present-day Moche, Trujillo, Peru from about 100 to 700 AD

Chan Chan, the largest city of the pre-Columbian era in South America, is now an archaeological site in La Libertad Region 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of Trujillo, Peru

Overall, it's been a great week!! This last week and a half I have found a much deeper love of Peru and the people here. I love being a missionary!!!! The church is true!!!! Tell everyone!
