I´m sorry this week´s email is going to be super short, but I hope the pictures can make up for it! This week we worked SUPER hard and got a LOT of work done. I hit a personal record by teaching more lessons and doing more contacts than ever before and I´m super excited and happy about the work we´re doing. My companion is awesome and we´re finding really great families. We found a family that is so super ready to hear the gospel. The dad was a member when he was younger, but went inactive when he turned 17 and has been inactive for over 20 years! His wife didn´t even know that he was a member! His family is super excited to learn about the gospel and they came to church this sunday, and it´s an incredible blessing we´ve received to meet this family and to be able to teach them. At the end of our first lesson with them, we all knelt down and that dad, Daniel, gave the closing prayer. We asked before hand if he wanted us to teach him how and he said, I´ve never forgotten how to pray, and he gave such a beautifully heartfelt prayer. It was the best thing to hear him pray for his family, for us, thanking the Lord that we were sent to teach his family, and many more. The spirit was SO strong. At the end of the prayer, no one said anything for a solid 10 seconds, not wanting to interrupt the good feelings. But I asked his wife, Graciela, how she felt, and with tears in her eyes, she said that she wished she had learned about all this many years ago. I´m so excited for this family and it definitely was one of the precious moments in my mission where I think, THIS is why I´m here. This one moment is worth EVERYTHING I´ve sacrificed and that my family has sacrificed for me to be here. What´s great about it, is that the Lord blesses us with MANY moments like that, but every single one is so special and priceless . . . I´m just so happy to be serving a mission and doing the Lord´s work!
I hope you all have a super awesome week and I hope to hear from you! Love you all!

The first two is at a cathedral and we went to the catacombs underneath and it was awesome!! We couldn´t take pictures inside :(
The next one is at the Plaza de Armas (Like a government square)
The next one is at the point of a giant hill overlooking all of Lima. We could see the entire mission and the ocean and everything!
