Hola everyone!!! i hope everyone had a great week!


This week we were so lucky to have some amazing devotionals from my mtc president and his wife, they are thee coolest people in this whole world. I love them so much. 
One devotional we had from them was the power of NEVERTHELESS! in the scriptures we see people go through hard times and struggle but nevertheless they knew the lord was with them and would bless them, nevertheless they pressed forward with faith! this helped me so much because there are times out here where i get down and things are really hard but nevertheless Jesus is on my side!
Now for my favorite part of the week! Boom, devotional from presidente Jackson, he related the missionary alma the younger and amulek to basketball wahoo! He told us about his basketball coach in high school, how he always had them in a full court press thee entire game no matter how much they were winning by, love it. His coach would say we will never lose a game because the other team is in better shape than them. Alma in the scriptures always trusted in the lord and was fully committed! When he couldn't reach the people he was trying to teach he tried again and again and tried different ways until he did what the lord commanded him. super cool, Presidente told us some pretty awesome basketball stories that just made me so happy and miss basketball a little.

Tomorrow is going to be so sad because i have to say goodbye to my favorite latinas ever! we get about 70 latinos every 3 weeks and this group has been so amazing. My bestie girl hermana suarez speaks only spanish and is so patient to talk with me and help me with my terrible spanish! She has thee cutest dresses and we did a swap one day. She is so amazing and i will miss her so much! (pics below)

This week i was studying the teachings after the resurrection of Christ in 3 nephi and holy cow it is so powerful, i invite everyone to read in the book of mormon every day! in the words of our dear prophet, ¨when i think of the Book of Mormon, i think of the word power. The truths of the Book of Mormon have the power to heal, comfort, restore, succor, strengthen, console, and cheer our souls.¨ - President Nelson

Love you all, hope you have a fantastic week!

Love, Hermana Lindsey

Hola everyone!!! This week was pretty long, lots of visits which means we got lost a lot!! You would think my comp would know how to get around but she is absolutely terrible at directions haha its pretty funny, cuz I thought I never knew where I was going but she doesn't know either. We got lost one night and we were going in the opposite direction, sometimes people don't understand what I'm saying OR I dont understand what other people are saying, and other times we are late to every visit and I'm so Hungry, but in moments like this you just gotta laugh. Laughing helps, I laugh a lot out here in Perú.  This week we had a mission activity at the mission home with everyone. Day of sports!! We played Ping pong, soccer, volley Ball and had Lunch. It was sooooo fun. It's always fun to watch all the faces of the latinos when I walk out to play soccer with them. They told me, we have never seen Girls play soccer in Perú, haha well now you have.  We are teaching this guy ...

Hola everyone!!! So i have been in the field in Perú for about 3 weeks now and ive got 2 things to say, spanish is so hard and i love Perú. I get a lot of looks, a tall White girl trying to get from one place to another with perú's crazy transportation. There are definietly harder days than others. I wake up sometimes and feel Like satan is slapping me in the Face a little reminding me that i dont Know spanish, but something i realized yesterday While reading in alma 37:33 is that we can withstand anything satan throws at us with faith in Jesús Christ!! I am so glad i am on his team and He is on mine.  I know my Savior is a light in the darkness, miracle worker, promise keeper and his team Will Win every time over anything!! My penchinista is my favorite human ever, mamá Gloria. She is Just out here making me rice and chicken every day, oh and she talks a million Words per second so i cant understand her but she still gives me a huge hug and a Kiss everytime i see her. 😘 Right now...
