Hey everyone. So this week has been kind of weird, we haven't been teaching as much because we've had some weird activities going on. We're doing zone english classes now with all of the missionaries in Quillabamba so that took some time out of our week, and also on saturday we had a district talent show. There's a song called "Vete y Paga La Vuelta" and the elders all sang a parody of that about a less active family that the missionaries are trying to contact. It was interesting to say the least. I feel like it went a lot better than the hermanas skit though, and the audience really seemed to enjoy it which is what matters the most.

We're also planning for a "noche blanca" on Mar. 28. Almost every companionship in the zone has a baptism set for that date so there's going to be quite a few baptisms if everything goes well. We've been working with a kid named Alex who's going to be baptized then, and also a guy named Jorge. I'm not sure if Jorge will actually get baptized that soon though because he needs to get married first. We're doing everything we can to help him though, and he's really excited. I guess we'll see how it goes!

Also some stuff has happened this past week that makes me want to share my testimony. I know that this Gospel is true. A lot of times we'll pass through challenges and things may seem bleak, but there's always hope. In the scriptures we have a promise from the Lord that he will always be there to help us in our times of need. We can confide in Him and in the Atonement. I know that Christ came to this world and paid the price for our sins. And through this Atoning sacrifice, everyone of us can have hope. Everyone of us can overcome sin and temptations, and can live with God, in an eternal family. Through the Atonement we can find happiness. I know, without a doubt, that these things are true.

Sigue Nadando,
