2018 FIFA World Cup

This week was harddd, South America loves to just shut down as a continent when there's Soccer happenin. It's cool to be apart of the culture and see how much this sport influences the country but jeez.

 We still got to visit a lot of people but we were actually in Abancay till Wednesday night, the conference was really really good, it was just our zone cause we're so dang far away from everyone, but it was cool to have a personal little conference with President, I learned a lot, it was a fun one too. They celebrated some of our birthdays as you can see, (thank you elder Bogh for holding up the sign just for the picture). Fun couple of days.

Thursday to till now we've been back in San Jeronimo doing the good ol stuff that you all know, Franco and Jessica have made a plan to get married, but first they have to take care of their daughter, they found out she's really really sick and they keep having to pay for operations and for the trip to Lima so economically it's really hard for them but they said they're going to save up to get married civily in December and then the next year in the temple:) It's a 3 step process- 1. Civil marriage 2. Franco gets baptized 3. Temple marriage. Very good plan if I do say so, I've never seen anything like it haha, it'll be sad because they want me to be here for when they get married civily but I told them when they get to the temple, I'll be there. I hope. 

So many times in the mission you don't get to see the fruits or blessings that come out of your work, and that's okay, just gotta accept the Lord's timing, BUT there's always blessings that come out of it, cause I KNOW Franco will get baptized and that they will get married, I just won't be here to see it. I was talking to my comp about this and he said that there's been so many people he's taught that later were baptized or he doesnt know and lost contact with them, so much of the mission is planting so many dang seeds in people that later (or instantly) they accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Victoria is ready for the 30th and we're obviously pumped, she's come to church every single Sunday so far without us even reminding her so I mean she's good. We have been teaching her more of the lessons and she just gets it. So awesome when people just "get it". Her extended family is helping out soooo much, so everything is going super well, basically just waiting for the date to get here y esperando que todo salga bien. 

I hope all of you are doing well, crazy how many times I've written by now, hopefully it aint boring. Love you all!!
