Hey everybody!

This week has been super crazy. But I have exciting news!! I´M STAYING IN TUNGASUCA! 5 transfers in Tungasuca! And I´m staying with Hna. Ramirez! So yeah, we´re super happy and we´re working REALLY hard. This past week was insane. We did a LOT of praying, a LOT of fasting, and a LOT of searching. This week was the last week for people to attend church to be eligeable . . . eligible . . . for baptism this month, so we´ve been praying that God would put in our path those who were searching for the truth and ready to make covenants with Him. And we were super blessed! We had two new investigators come that we had invited, and we were super happy and excited. Our goal was to have 4, because the Mission´s standard of excellence is 4 baptisms each month with 2 families, and it´s super exciting when someone acheives it . . . and I´ve never achieved it and everyone´s always like, ¨wow, Hna. Hulse, you´ve never achieved 8-4-2?¨and I´m always like, No, thanks for reminding me. Sooooo . . . I´m kind of running out of time to be able to achieve it . . . so I was at first REALLY sad that the people who committed going to church were dead asleep when we passed by their house, even after calling them at night to remind them and calling them in the morning to wake them up . . . But then I remembered and realized that I´m not here to baptize, I´m here to bring people unto Christ. If these people weren´t prepared and willing to make a covenant with God, there´s nothing I can do about it. I know that I tried my best and that God will be happy with the work that I did this week. I know that the people who came to church this week with us were led their by God and that they will have the desire to make sacred covenants with Him and then KEEP those covenants so that they can have Eternal Life. 

So, Sunday morning, I ended on THAT note . . . and in the middle of our mission correlation meeting, we get a call from the President´s assistants saying that we have to do a week long emergency work visit with one of the sisters. So we had to run back to our apartment and I had to pack my bags and the other sister is staying with my companion until she gets transferred to another mission. She has problems with a stalker, so my companion is playing body gaurd and I´m playing the double . . . don´t worry about me. We´re called as Sister Training Leaders for our awesome karate skills.

So yeah, It´s been kind of loco, but we´re dealing with it and I´m excited to hopefully be back in my own bed with a working shower by next week. woohoo! bienvenido a la misión Peru Lima Norte!

Love you all so much! Hope you have a fantastic week!
