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!
