Trio Tradition

The boys are back. Remember like a month ago when I had two peruvian companions? And then after I only had one? Well I have two again! Elder Manrique´s companion had special changes and so he got put into a trio with us again for this week! haha So we are just making me more and more peruvian every day. 

This week was a really great one! Lots of miracles and lots of blessings. Violeta and Martina are doing well. They are really awesome because they are good examples to me of happiness. They live in some pretty humble situations. They work in the Feria... which is like the chilean version of a Farmers market but where they sell everything. They sell used clothes but they are just happy even though they dont have very much. And that has helped me understand lots better what it really means to be happy because it really is just their faith and hope in God that keeps them going. Theya re so fun.

Juan is also doing really well. He has been seeing lots of blessings in his life since he started to go to church and started keeping the commandments. He has had a better relationship with his son and his family and he really is a lot happier. I guess that is why they call it the plan of happiness afterall. It helps us when we are down.

This week we had a ward talent show it was quite the production! We sang.. and it was aight.. haha it made me remember about assemblies and all the thought and planning we would put into things like that. There were some pretty cool talents.. an older hermano played the harmonica... a 10 year old kid roller skated around with a ribbon thing and flipped it around.. there were some really good singers!

We are super excited for this week and especially for the conference and to hear president Nelson speak to us as the prophet. I hope you all enjoy it too!!
