Hola Familia!!
Do not be scared by the title of this email....although I was a little tempted to just leave it like that and let you all wonder, but I figured that would be pretty mean of me so I will say that I do NOT have a broken foot, but I am receiving lots of blessings. But this week Hna Brown (another Hermana in the mission from Montana) came to stay with us because she needs to be in Cusco because she did break her foot and needs physical therapy. So my time is spent in the mornings in the hospital with her. Whoppeee!!!! So now I am in a trio. As far as I know, she will be here for a while if not the whole change. And it is killing my companion. Hna Brown was her last companion and they didn`t get along either....it's a huge mess now that we're all together I am just trying to keep the peace but its kind of hard. I am sure it will all work out in the end...somehow.
I was so happy this Sunday to go to church and there was Hno Victor (who was baptized last week) with his new suit on and his hair combed back in his seat by the front door getting ready to hand out the hymnbooks that he had all ready set up without anyone asking him. Guess he has a new calling :) And he received the priesthood. He is soooooo awesome I hope he keeps up this animo because I love to see it!!!!!!
We have two more baptisms scheduled for this weekend.
The blessings of the Lord are literally raining down here in Cusco. It is amazing to watch. Although it is one of the more difficult areas I have been in, I have really grown to love the people here.
So SOMEONE leaked to the 1st councilor to Pres. Calderon that I play the violin and because he is in my ward that I am working in right now, he pulled me over Sunday and told me that he would be finding me a violin soon so I can play in a couple of things. YIKES! We'll see if it actually happens or not. Oh well :)
Yeah sounds like November is a busy month for the family. Sounds really fun! I love you all so much!!!

Just ask the missionaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hola Familia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will be a temple in Arequipa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boom baby 3 temples in Peru and Cusco is next jaja :) I was pretty excited about that! We all screamed when we heard that (all the Elders and Hermanas from the states were listening to conference in a separate room in English and the people from the ward complained they heard us scream when they announced that...oops)
The age for young men at 18 to leave on the mission has been here in Peru for a while but now its for the whole world. Look out world-- in one year my brother could go on a mission!!!!!!!!!!!!! 19 for the young women is the best news ever. I would have gone at 19...but like dad said the Lord has his timing and I know without a doubt I should be here right NOW: Although next year I will start feeling pretty old around all the 18 and 19 year olds haha. I received many answers to my prayers during conference which was a wonderful thing for me but to sum everything all up my favorite talks were from Henry B. Eyring and Jeffery R. Holland and of course Russel M, Nelson " JUST ASK THE MISSIONARIES! THEY CAN HELP YOU!" Wouldn`t it be nice if we walked around the world and people took his counsel and asked US questions about the church! haha but it was pretty funny to listen to that as a missionary :) I looked for yáll in the Sunday morning session but sorry didn`t see you :( We did have investigators attend conference and I know that they felt the Spirit. As for the members...there weren`t very many that attened. I was quite surprised. They all took it like a "free" Sunday and all went sightseeing. hmmmm....
We had a baptism this Saturday. It was really great. Her name is Melani and its the family we are working with you know, the ones we need to get married and all? They are progressing really great.
Changes are next week. Went by so fast. We´ll see what happens!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you all enjoyed conference and it was a great weekend! Love you all!!!!!!

Hola familia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, this is the week. I was happy to hear that Clark had a baptism!! How great is that!! Gave me hope for my week. This is the week the father of the family we are teaching comes and puts down the final foot whether his daughter gets baptized, whether he has the same desire as his wife to get married and get baptized too.....please pray for them!!!!!!!!
I am so excited for conference- out of my mind. I think I annoy my companion when I say 6 days till conference...5 days till conference :) but I am super pumped. Think about it. The only living prophet on the face of the whole earth will speak to the whole world. I am pretty pumped for that!
Last night we had a pretty cool experience. So we received a reference from the ward to go and teach a lady named Juana Rodriguez. A couple weeks ago we coincidentally (or not so coincidentally) ran into her leaving her apt and she invited us in and we got to talk to her. Everything went really well and we set up another appointment and these past two weeks we have been going to her house time after time after TIME to talk to her and when we had appointments scheduled with her she was NEVER home. (that might answer your question dad-- it is the same culture jaja) Part of me said, "Oh she isn`t interested anymore. We should move on to another." Part of me said, "We should keep trying at least a little while longer because she really did show desire to learn." Well, last night we went and I was looking ahead to see if her light was on in her apt and it was off. Bummer. She isn`t home. My companion asked me what we should do and like I always say, " We should call her to see whats up." So we called her like we always do expecting the same answer but she said, "No I am here- please come in!!" We were excited and so we got to teach her last night and we showed her a video about the plan of salvation and she was SO interested she kept saying over and over again "it just makes sense....it just makes sense!" Then she asked us when we could come and visit her again and she would arrange her schedule so we could talk and she wants to invite all her friends to her house to listen too because she says this is the truth, I just know it is!!! How COOL! I love seeing that light flow into the people. It was so cool for me to see.
So mom tell me about relief society general conference. I didn`t get to go and dad tell me more about what you talked about ¨real growth and enduring conversion. ¨I am interested. Yes we work on a lot of retention here :)
David have a happy birthday. I hope you get my message and everyone ENJOY CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will too. (jaja). Have a great week
