THANK YOU MINT CANYON FOR MY PACKAGE! There's no skittles here so it was very nice to eat some haha. Also I jam out to the disney cd you guys gave me everyday so thank you so much that package made my week so much better.
Elder Cubillas was buying something at a little shop so I decided to talk to the lady who was running it and try to contact because we're not having a lot of success lately so I just talk to everyone I can. It's a good thing because now we're teaching their entire family and they're awesome. They're so faithful and they were involved in a religion that believed in a white Christ that visited the Americas...like how easy is that to just give them a book that proves it haha. I really hope we can help them progress and hopefully have baptisms. The Grandma speaks Aimara which is hard but what's awesome is that they speak very fromal and very simple spanish which I can understand 100%. It's just a perfect family to teach so I'm loving it.
On Friday we went on splits with the zone leaders again in Puno which was sooo much fun but so cold. I've never seen so much water in my life it rained so hard. I've also never seen 8 lightning bolts at the same time so that was new. Elder Castañeda (a zone leader) and I tried new methods of contacting that we've heard from other missionaries and surprisingly they worked insanely well. The first is when we're knocking on doors and just straight up ask the person if they want their home and their family blessed. Every single person said yes and invited us in and we said a prayer blessing the home and the family and every time the Spirit was so strong that they'd want to know more about us and our religion and what we do and boom next appointment set. The other we do because so many people just say "I'm Catholic" when we try to talk to them so we tell them right after that we have a message about the Virgen Mary and then they invite us in. We start talking about the Virgen Mary but then slowly switch and start talking about her son Jesus Christ and it works so well. We got so many new investigators for Puno this way it was crazy.
We pension in a restaurant owned by a member's cousin now and oh my gosh what a fantastic idea. Every day we just eat the best of the best Peruvian food now so that's a blast and I'll probably get fat soon the amount of food we eat is insane. My custom scripture cases are finally finished and I'm pretty proud of my idea for them hahaha. There are some very talented people in this world. Hope you all had a good week!

ALMA 48:17
17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.
