So this week has been great!
 |
| All the Hermana Leaders in Iquitos! |
Remember Noemi and Richard? They came to a church activity on Friday night, to church on Sunday (even though they came late :( ) and to the Christmas devotional last night! The branch is doing such a good job of being their friend and inviting them to literally every activity! They were going to go to a class about how to strengthen your marriage yesterday in the afternoon, but noemi was feeling sick, so they couldn´t go. They told us they are thinking about baptism and marriage! We have a family home evening there tonight with our branch mission leader and hopefully this will really help them progress!
Our Branch President has been really good about inviting people to church, and this week he brought a really cool family with him to church who live in our area! They´re a young couple and have a little baby and are excited to start listening to our message! We`re going to go try to find their house today!
Oh yeah, this week I also got to go to Iquitos! This time it was only for two days, not a whole week (thankfully!) but it was a great trip!

| These seeds are super cool! They put them on bracelets everywhere and I finally found the plant. Huayruru.. at least I think that is what it is called! |
At our training, we talked a lot about the importance of talking with EVERYONE. It`s been a little bit of a problem with the mission, that we don't contact many people! But it was a really good advice that was given- "if we want to baptize people, we need to talk to lots of people, but if we want to baptize few people, we need to talk to few people". It really hit me, because I haven´t been contacting as much as I should, so this week our goal has been talk to as many people as we can! and it really helps! We were able to contact into this 18 year old student who has recently moved here to Moyobamba and told us she wants to start going to church again. She said she has gone to tons of churches, but she never felt like she should stay there. She told us she would make time next Sunday to go to church and she hopes she will feel it's right! She reminds me a little of Joseph Smith and his desires! Her name is Mercedes and we`re super excited to keep working with her this week.
Anyways, that's kinda been my week! I can´t remember if anything else interesting or funny happened! I forgot to bring my journal to internet today so I can't even look through this week to see what happened haha.
Next week there will be more, I promise :)
Love you all! Happy December!!
