This week was one for the books! We played soccer with about a million peruvians. We ate some really good food. We saw a lot of miracles. And we taught a lot of wonderful people.

A few weeks ago we got to know a guy named Juan. We were just sitting in sacrament meeting and a member came and grabbed us and so we left with him. Juan had show up at church. To give you a little bit of an idea... He was wearing shorts and a t shirt.. had blood shot eyes and looked like he hadnt slept for a few days and we thought he might be a little bit drunk... So we started to talk to him because these kind of people are our specialty. haha. He told us that he was kind of at a low point and had the feeling he needed to come to church. So he came. We invited to come sit with us for the last few minutes of the sacrament meeting and then we set up an appointment with him. We have been meeting with him for about a week or two now and he has made a lot of big changes in his life. He quit smoking last week. Today in the morning he played soccer with us but the great part is that now he smiles every time he sees us. He will be a member here in a hot minute.

Violeta is also doing really well. We met her grandaughter this week too! Her name is Martina. They showed up to church together and loved it! They are such good people and are long time friends of a lot of members! So it just goes to show that even when we think we have shared the gospel with everyone we know there is always someone else so just keep thinking!

The computer doesnt work this week so I dont have any pictures... sorry bout it.

James the Mormon looked like it was pretty cool! Hope that soccer keeps on keepin on! Love you all!!
