Thank you sooooo much for the emails and letters and everything that you have sent to wish me a Happy Birthday. It was a wonderful day! Yesterday was elections day in Peru, so things were a little crazy. Here in Peru, it's mandatory to vote and it's against the law to hold any kind of reunion that day. So we didn't have our meetings in the church yesterday and we had to be in our houses at 7:30 pm to protect us from whatever crazy things might happen. They also gave us permission to sleep with other companionships to be in a safter area. Well, our area is full of schools and other places where they do voting, so we had permission to sleep with the sisters in the Jardin ward and the sisters from the Armonia ward came too. So last night, we just had a big slumber party with 6 sisters! It was so fun :) My companion made salchipapas (french fries and hotdogs). I also ate a lot of cake yesterday from the amazing members here. It was a great day!!!
So last week, I (finally) finished the Book of Mormon in English. I'm still working on it in Spanish. But I was able to strengthen my testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon. Honestly, in those moments when we feel down or depressed and we just want to feel God's love for us, all we need to do is open that sacred book and light will flow out of it. There are times when I just don't know what to do as a missionary to find new investigators or help them progress. Well I always am able to find those answers in the Book of Mormon. It truly changes lives.
I hope you all make an extra effort this week to strenghten your testimony of the Book of Mormon. One of the best ways to do that is to share what you know! I hope you have wonderful experiences with it. I love you all so so so much and thanks again for all of your love and support! Que tengan una bonita semana :)
Love, Hermana Winward :)
