It's Feburary. February people!! Super. Welp, another typical, run away from dogs, wear your rain boots every day, have funny conversations with drunk people, cry every day because life is just too good, kind of week. Gotta love it.
For P day today, the zone got together and we had ourselves a little carnival fun! Full of water balloons and foam! It was freezing and raining...but we wont let that damper our Cusco Carnival Spirit!!!
God is preparing the hearts here in Cusco! This week we were doing laundry for one of the members here, when a man came up to us and said, hey you're the missionaries! Yup thats us. He told us that he has been looking for us. He explained that wayyy before he had taken the lessons and was ready to be baptized. However some unfortunate things happened with his previous wife, they separated, he moved away, and didnt want much to do with the church. Then he asked us, what does someone have to do to be baptized! HA! Welp just talk to the missionaries, They will help. We vistited their family this week, darling little family. His wife is really cold with us, and stink to her guns catholic. BUT! She is warming up to us. He has come to church these past two weeks.
We went to visit our favorite family, Familia Casa Perez. They were not there, but their neice answered the door. Her name is Liebi and is 22 years old Hermana Lourdez has said that Liebi has wanted to talk to us, but this was the first time that we could find her. So we sat down and started talking...and wow. I have never met anyone so open and so prepared to listen. We asked her what made her want to talk to us, and very sincerely said, well honestly I just want to change my life. And it sounds like you can help me. I love this gospel so much. And I love even more that it changes lives. People are being prepared. :)
This week we had a multi zone conference with Presidente Harbertson. We talked about repentance, how we should apply it to ourselves, and how we should teach it. I am really starting to understand what repentance is. Not exactlly sure how it was worded, but in this last conference Elder Uchtdorf gave a talk about finding happiness in the General Young Womens Session. He said the key was to repent every single day. Its so true. Repentance is something so beautiful. Let us make it a part of us...every single day.
4 Nephi 1:15, 16
And it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people..and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.
True Repentance brings True Happiness.
I love you all soooo much! Keep being amazing, and share your light with someone in need this week! Gracias por todo!
Con Amor,
Hermana Hansen
