I love going to the temple, because I feel peace when I am there. My companion and I are  having a great time and we are working way hard. I am having some of the best experiences of my life!!!!  I’m learning lots, trying to progress and become what God wants me to be.
In Lima we went to the catacombs (Museo San Francisco - Monastery and Museum), and saw everything. Afterwards we ate McDonald’s - so good jaja (wasn’t 2 years ago but now!).
On Saturday two couples got married, and next Saturday they will be getting baptized!!!!!! We all were there in the Town Hall park, basically, and they had to get there early at 8 am because they had to do some papers and they close the doors at 11 am.  Well, we were there waiting and we were soooo nervous because they got there at 10:50 and 10:55 am.  We were so stressed, but they got there!!!  Answers to our prayers!!!  Also they went to stake conference yesterday, and they are really changing a lot!!!  Stake Conference was great!
This week we have had a lot of cool experiences, we found some guy that had found a Book of Mormon in the street and had read part of it and he knew about Jose Smith.  So we have an appointment to explain to him all about the Book of Mormon on Sunday.  We also have found a lot of families that are awesome. We have 9 people with baptism dates and two of them are the families that got married on Saturday. The work is going forward!!!!!
We have had some cool contacts with families, and we found a family in 2 contacts. First we found the wife, she told her husband that we were going to pass by on Tuesday. Then, yesterday we contacted the husband, he told us that he will also wait for us on Tuesday. It was cool because he told us that his wife had talked about us, and that she wanted him to listen too. 
I love the gospel and I am thankful for all your prayers!
I love you all sooo much!!!!!
Hurrah for Israel!
