(Aug 31)<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Dear President, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I have seen so many blessings in this last transfer. At the begginning, there were only a few investigators, none of them progressing, and we had no less actives. Now we have een ale to see the failia Ramirez, Hmo. Eusebio, Hma. Nelly, and Hma. Magda a really cute old less active lady come to church almost every week. Hmo. Eusebio has accepted a baptismal date for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2082014274" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">October 3rd</span></span>, and the Famila Ramirez is working towards a marraige and baptismal date for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2082014275" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">October 10th</span></span>! I could not have wished for a better area in which to finish my mission. I am so grateful for all the blessings and trials I have been given, and to have finished with you as my mission president. But I still have another week to finish out strong! This is going to be the best week of my mission, I CAN FEEL IT! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Sincerely, </div>

Hermana Addington (the last letter to president McGinn)<br />I just sat down at the computer 30 minutes ago and though, what the heck am I gonna say? This is my last email, so it better be something significant, ya know? I have already sent the funny pics an whatnot, so I guess all thats left to do is your testimony. Ya know what they say, when in doubt, tesify it out.<br />I am so grateful to have been a misisonary here for the last18 months of my life. First arriving, I though that the hardest thing I would ever have done is serve the mission, but now the hardest thing I am going to have to do is leave the mission. Its so cliche, all the things that misisonaries say, and I made fun of them before for saying them, but its true. I am so happy to have met the people I have met, like The Juana and Diego, Junior and Rosemary, the Tipismana family, Agosto, Ana, Roberto, Patricia, Adriano, Emma, Camila. All the poeple in Chincha, Nasca, Villa El Salvador, Chorillos, and Canete have stolen a huge chunck of my heart, and I am not going to be able to get it back until I return to see them someday with my family. I am so grateful for allmy companions, and all the embarrassig and groeing moments I have had with every single one of them. All the amazing members, the rejections and super weird contacts,(one man the other day asked us if Jesus CHrist was born crucified, and we almost died laughing.) EVERYTHING. I just wanna thank everybody who wrote me, who helped me see the brighter side, shared their growing experiences with me. I know I am getting super sappy. Terrible.<br />I know that Jesus Christ himself watches over every single one of us. I know the temple is the house of the Lord, and that our families can be together forever.<br />my favorite scripture is 2 nEPHI 31:20 i AM JUST GOING TO WRITE OUR PART OF IT IN Spanish. "si marchais adelante, delitandoos en la palabra de Cristo y perseverais hasta el fin, tendreis la vida eterna."<br />I am so grateful to never finish my mission. Ever.<br />In the name of esus Christ, amen.<br />I love everyone of yall!<br />Sincerely,<br />Hermana Addington<br />P.S.The next time you see me I will have gained about 25 pounds, which is actually just 10 kilos. </div>

This week has been very...como podria decir....death related. Yall already saw the amazing pics inside the castle. That whole place was like stepping back in Peruvian slave time. Hearing all the stories about the way people lived there made me think alot about fmaily history. And then, later on that day, our beloved Elders Quorum President, President Temple( kid yall not, his name is Temple, and he is Peruvian irish), died alone in his house. He was a carpenter, and had 7 cats, so h died right next to his wood machine, with all his cats making noise. But hardly anyone knew about it until Wdnesday. He lived right in front of us, and we didnt even notice because we were always walking somewhere else.<br />Coming back from lunch on Wednesday, we see everyone standing outside talking about Hmo.Temple. He had a heart attack, and was first noticed by his daughters, who has just come in from Lima to visit him that Tuesday. It was terribly sad, that it was they first sight of their father in days. But the comfort I remember having this whole week, is knowing that 1. His daughters are members, although less active. 2.we have the plan of salvation. 3. Pres. Temple worked until the very last second, until he had visited everyone in his quorum, done his family history in the temple, and baptized a recent convert. He just had this ron swanson like work ethic that was contaigous. He motivated me to give my all, and not regret the things of the past. His favorite quotes were"Hazlo" Just do it! And also, " Dios le quiere, entonces trabaja! God loves you, so get to work!<br />Thank you so much to everyone for working, showing your love, and remember that God only cares about where you are, and what you are going to become!<br />Love, Hermana Addington</div>

(Aug 17th) <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Dear President, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
This week we have have very unexpected miracles. Well, all miracles are unexpected, but anyway. We were looking for a street contacts house and asked this old man in his doorway for directions. Then, he tells us of having a Book of Mormon given to him long ago, and enjoying reading it. Eventually, we teach him about the restoration, and invite him to church. 5 minutes before sacrament starts he goes off to buy some milk, and we think he is not going to make it. But about 20 minutes in, before the santa cena, we see another street contact walk in the door. We had not even taught him yet , and this little old man named Gregorio just walks into the chapel! And then the other investigator, Eusebio, walks in as well! It was like a dream, seeing them both there. Although we still have so much to teach them, I am just grateful God was able to give them the energy and want to attend church. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We have also found other new investigators this week thanks to recent convert references, and are excited to see how they progress! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Thank you so much for your training this week. It really was great, especially with the focus on the spirit. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Have a great week! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Sincerely, </div>

My message today is gonna be super short, sweet, and to the point, like my pancionista Annie. Yall have already read about the cutest old men in Canete showing up at church. This week we also saw the miracle of a good bath with Annies dog Tuqutin. He literally had not been bathed in 2 years. Now he is a new man, dog.<br />
Also, I received personal revelation through the Tharps. I was talking to them and also listening to a talk on the Atonement, and I now understand a little more about Jesus Christ. I have no time to write down the scriptures right now, but just read in Matthew 26 and Lucas 19. The best stories ever.<br />
Thanks yall so much for your unflinching support! You really are making my last transfer that much better. As Hermana Tharp always says, "Just gotta go with it, ya know?"<br />
<br />
Love, </div>

It really has-been a blessing. Yesterday, we found a family of old Investigators, the Florentine Family, the parents and Their three little kids, and later, after an Appointment with another investigator fell through, we knocked on the first door nearby, and Were accepted in. We had a lesson with a family named Ramirez, and When we got home Counted That We had five new Investigators. But They Were not just numbers, They were amazing families, ready to learn and change. It really chnages my perspective When we meet a family, Strengthens my testimony. I Know That, Although Might we still not know Their future, we know Gods vision for them, and all can do our part to help them try to realize that. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Have a great week, and say hi to Sister McGinn for me! </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Sincerely, </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Sister Addington I am so happy That I Have Been called to this area. It has-been one of The most challenging, and funny excperiences of my whole mission. We found alot of new people this week, but the quantity will never Overcome the quality. We Have Been Struggling really this week, looking for less actives and Being Both rejected by them and other random people in the street. We knock on one door, and This Old lady starts barking at us to go away, so Hma. Freyre decide to say, "Thanks alot for your help," in Inglés. As we see her surprised face shut the door, we see this older man in the street. Hma. Freyre thought I was deaf, and I decided to take out a card and hand it to him. And Then He just looks right at us and throws it on the ground. I have all my mission faced rejection, in my whole life, but something About That day was just Particularly ominous. We head over to our house and watch leaders misison the Jeffery R.Holland and Eyring talk about the atonement and missionary work.They Thanked us for showing it to them, but I am pretty sure That Freyre and I needed more than them. It Has Been Such a great blessing to see These New Investigators also accept the gospel for the first time, it was like Alma Said in ch.36 "my joy was as great as my pain." I just want to take as much advantage of esta time I have while I am still here. That I am so happy I can be a missionary in this Time, to be Able to invite people to be Baptized, to repent. I am super-happy to be coming home as well, dont get me wrong, but I know That it will not be the same. Anyway, in other words, I am totally cool Meg With bedspread whatever you wanna buy me. I will be the happiest girl in the world just to Have things, Because I think I am going to leave almost all my clothes in the misison. Because I dont know what I would spread to the US Um, your answers, I shop at Wal mart like store esta called Tottus to get all my produce, but everything else in the market. We usually take minivans / vans) everywhere, or bikes or taxis. Either And we always eat Chicken, fish, or pork (pork), and rice with yucca and corn. > Funny experience: in a lesson yesterday this little baby started crying, so His mother gave him a nail and hammer. Literally 2 min later the little baby almost swallowed it. And Then His Dad Talked About a dream I HAD Where Jesus was crying. Peru. Nuff said. I love yall!

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Dear President, <br />this week has been really full of miracles. <span class="">We're starting out from scratch in our area, with new researchers, new less active, all except for the recent converts. </span>Actually I have the feeling that this area is burning potential, just get it, as you have taught us. <span class="">contact with a family on the street the other day was established, and the mother Turs (Fabiola) is a less active and her partner (Enrique) is a researcher. </span>Both are very interested in the church and miraculously arrived at the church on Sunday! Although it was only the second time they came! We also have a sister named Nelly, whose daught and her husband are active members. She started coming to church just after her husband baptized his daughter. <span class="">With all his attendance at church, she could be baptized soon. </span>We just have to find the right time to teach her, when she isnt working. <span class="">But we have faith that everything will be fine! </span><br /><span class="">Many thanks for all your support and care! </span><span class="">You and Siter McGinn has a great week! </span><br /><span class="">Sister Addington </span><br /><span class="">Dangit, I really did not mean to send yall This First letter to the president in Spanish. </span><span class="">The new page just Automatically translated it while I had my back turned. </span>But he, thats why theres google translate. <span class="">And google it fails, Which Usually it does, take it to any other RM who needs the cash and ask them to translate that bad boy. </span><br /><span class="">This week has-been amazing, not just in terms of the food my new pancionista Annie cooks us but in many things. </span>We saw Fabiolaand esta Enrique Come to church Sunday. They Were, Although late, They kept their word! <span class="">All We Have to do now is have the support of Annie and Edelmo (husband, just got married and Baptized past Saturday) So They can stop living together and start getting married as well! </span>Also, we have a sister named Nelly, Whose husband and daughter are members, and have gone to church like 4 times, all 3 hours. She Could Easily get Baptized, we just gotta help her warm up a little bit through lessons. The weather currently is not helping that. But I know That this is all in Gods wonderful plan. <br />Otherwise, we are strugglig a little to find new Investigators and less actives, but we do what Pres Hinkley Gotts said:. Forget ourselves and GO TO THE CHAMBA! <span class="">(Workfor all you white people) </span><br /><span class="">I am excited, Because Hma. </span><span class="">Freyre is a great companion, and we reallycan work together even more miracles. </span><br /><span class="">Thanks for all your prepation yall and love, I just wanna hug each and every single one of you! </span>Soon! <br />Ps. PLEASE do not just serve me in my homecoming meal rice. <span class="">I wish to stay away from crazy That carb for at Least 11.7 months. </span><br /><span class="">I love everybody, have an amazing week! </span><br /><span class="">Love, </span></span></div>

It has been amazing to teach there, all the converts and rescues that I have been able to see progress. I have seen so many miracles in that area As the leaders took in our change, we spent 2 hours on sunday talking about all the things to improve and change in Nasca. all the ways that the leaders are going to take part in visiting. Now that the elders are in charge of all the houses in their and our old area, the branch set high baptismal and rescue goals for August and Saptember. And now in Canete, my companion and I have the chance to take all our efforts and talents and put them in to action. This area has amazing potential, both with the leaders as well as the less actives and recent converts. I promise to do everything I possibly can to leave this area in a better place than I found it. I have already met amazing people like Annie ,a recent rescue with her recent convert husband preparing ot receive a patriarchal blessing, as well as Eduardo, our ward misison leader. and a great future investigator names Carlos. This transfer will be filled with miracles! </span><br style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Hermana Addington</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">So this week has been one of the most interesting in my whole misison. Me and Hma. Tuquerres are finishing planning Saturday night, waiting for the call for the changes. I am postivite that Hma. Tuquerres is going to be changed to Canete, Ica, another area, because she already had 4 months in Nasca. And I was ready to be in charge of the area with my new companion, maybe even be training for my last transfer. And then the call comes. First Elder Rogers says I have a change to Canete. And then, Hma, Tuquerres is also being changed to Canete, but a part called Mala.I We both just kinda sit there in shock for a second, not knowing what to think or do. we send a message to our converts, giving them the strange news, and then, I just start writing letters to each and every single one I can remember. I had no idea that I was going to be transferred, and our area was going to be left in charge of the elders. But I went about just sending as many letters and clothes, whatever things I could to each and everyone to express my appreciation and gratitude. The next day is a whirlwind of planning and turning over everything to the elders, who are now going to be working in a super huge area. We have lessons, despididas(goodbyes), everything at once. I finish packing I think around </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_507548585" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">1 am</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">, and we have to arrive at teh horrible Soyuz at </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_507548586" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5:30</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">. I have no idea where all my phyical strength came from, but I can say that I will never forget these past few days. I was thinking about Isiah 58:13, 14, that say that Gods thoughts and actions are much higher and grander than our actions, and Naphi when he says he doesnt understand the meaning of all things. Although I may not understand all the whys, I can trust that God has a plan for me, Nasca, all our converts, less actives, and investigators that we began to teach and help. Esp. Hmo. Agusto and sister Mirella), and know that his plan for me is much bigger. I have trust he knows exactly what he is doing, and that I need to be in Canete with Hma. Freyre, my new and last companion. I couldnt be more grateful to have her. She may look gringa, but she is half Cuban, goregous, and we are going to get along very swimmingly. (well, we pretty much already do.) </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I am so grateful to everyone for all their love, support, and letters today!

Dear Pres. McGinn, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
This week has really been a week of revelation and help for me. When we had our zone meeting on Tuesday, I was really thinking in how we could better our finding eforts, as well as have more investigators progressing. It has always been a challenge to find married families here, and eve more so ones that are willing to be baptized. But as I thought about the council given on Saturday by you, the assistants, the zone leaders, and opther missionaries, I realized something. We have a specific area, companionship, and calling for a reason. If God gave us everything already solutioned or us, there woiuld be no challenges, there would be no overcoming, andmy companion nor I would learn what we have lerned at this point in the mission. So, I have made the resolution to not only accept the resources God has given me, but use them to their full potential, really amplify and aument what has already been given to me. I am seeing our investigators, our less actives, and converts in a new light. I know that we really are going to have success when we focus on the work this way, and I thank you for helping me to learn and understand that. I really feel like this week is going to be amazing, full of even more miracles and success. Thank you for the dedication and love you and Sister McGinn give everyday. I promise to work as hard as I can this week to make ya"ll(I am from Texas after all) proud! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Hermana Addington<br />This week really has strengthened my testimony, in regards to looking for and finding solutions. I was reading in the Book of Mormon, in Ether 2, and thought about the way that the lord solutioned the brother of Jareds problem. It wasnt with some huge miracle that happened instantly, but with small little hints here and there, and his own questions as well, so that he himself could show his faith and be blessed by the Lord. aT FIRST, HE SAYS, IN CH. 2:24-25 that he himself creates the winds and difficulties, challenges, and then, asks him what solution the brother of jared needs to give. and then eventually he shows himself to the brother of jared after he shows his faith. That is my short but sweet message today, show you faith=receive a miracle, a blessing. I know each and everyone of yall can do that today and everyday this week and I am so proud of yall for it!<br />Sorry there wasnt enough time to write today, but enjoy the pics of Marcona! It was stinking goregous.<br />P.S. Amy I am coming home on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_507548577" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">September 9th</span></span>, rmeember that.

It was the first week president McGinn was here with his wife in Lima, and couldnt get to his office. Lima is super huge, and he was begginning to get lost. So, he decided to pray, asking for help. As he finishes praying, he sees the route in his head, and arrives safely in the office. It was his miracle. He then invited us to think about our miracles, saying that it isnt always something huge or extraordinary, but really just a time where we notice Gods hands in our work. I thought alot about the little miracles I see everyday. Like one less active with cancer, Jose Carillo, giving testimony that God loves him. Also, all of our investigators and most of our less actives reading the book of mormon, and one of them, Roseli, showing up at church </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2038287676" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">. And all the support we receive from the member here. The fact that Jennifer wrote me back today is a little miracle. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I know that there are always going to be days where we may not feel in tip top shape, or we are painfully aware of the mistakes we make, our imperfections. Or it just seems like the efforts we make may not all be paying off. But if we can look back on the day and think or say that we have helped just one person. If I can say that I have helped an investigator, less active, convert, member, or other missionary, I will be happy. I see that as a miracle. That we are even here in this world, and we have the privelege to read the Book of Mormon, when it was lost for so many years and there were so many people that never had the opportunity to read it. I finished it for the 2nd time in English today, and I can say with all certainty that it is my favorite book. The most important book in the entire world, and I need to share it with everyone I know and feel should hear about it. It is a tool that not only serves me as a missionary, but will serve me as a return miaaionary, as a future wife and mother. It helpes me to become all that I am, all that God wants me to be. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I am so happy that my family and friends have really embraced this sacred book, and that we have the privelege to share it with tons of other people. Me and Hma. Gardner were chatting about that in our intercambio together, how our testimonies have changed, and it really is amazing. We have cambios(transfers) next week, and we both will be left in charge of our areas in Nasca and Vista Alegre, showing our new companions how everything is. I have the confidence that although it will be hard, God has this all in the bag. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I love every word that yall have sent me, and IU am sorry if there is not time to write more funny stuff, but I promise all the jokes will come when I am come! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">AMY CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW JOB! congrats to everyone on their little successes, little miracles.

During these past couple of weeks, me and Hma, Tuquerrez have been struggling to find new investigators that can progress. We are extending baptismal invitations inevery lesson and really working to find less actives and recent converts from our ward list, but they still were not coming to church. But a miracle has happened, which is that almost every single one of them is reading the Book of Mormon. Roseli, the only investigator in church yeaterday, has called us every single day to tell us what she read and to ask questions, as well as our other less actives we are rescuing. Roseli still hasnt accepted a baptismal date yet, but she is growing in her testimony everyday, as well as the others. I have faith that either today or tomorrow she will accept a baptismal date, but I ask you to just pray for her, as well as all out other less actives and recent converts. I know that the Lord is at the helm of this work and we reall cannot do anything without his humble servants helping us. Have a great week, and say hi to Sister McGinn for me! </span><br style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Sincerely, </span><br style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Hermana Addington</span><br />This was the second letter that I sent to President McGinn. We had our first mulitzone with him on Thursday, and although it was completely different than mettings with President Douglas, I really feel like I learned alot. He and his wife really are somehtin. He is from Canada, she is from Los Angeles, and they met at the Y. Then, they moved back to Canada, then lived in Maryland, and came here. They talked about the experiences they had with the apostles and seventies, and gave testimony about the divinity of this work. It reall gives me confidence that the Lord really runs this work, and every change he makes in his church and in our lives is for a purpose. He wil never change, is always at the healm, but wants us to be molded and shaped until we are perfect in his sight. Sister McGinn read Ether <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2038287672" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">2:23</span></span> and 24 with us, promising us that God will always lift us after we fall, and she is our biggest fan. I feel like that is our job as missionaries and just children of God in general, congradulate people in their efforts, even more than just their successes.<br />I am with Hma, Gardner right now while Hma. Tuquerres and Mendez are learning a bunch from President McGinn in Lima, and I am loving having time with her. Although I miss Hma. Tuquerres, Hma. Gardner is teaching me so much. She has 6 months in the mission, but is wise beyond her years. We together are going to take care of our areas and find a bajillion families to baptize in these next 3 days!<br />I know that there are a bunch of challenges that we are going through currently, both in the mission as well as in school and work. But somehting Ether ch. 1, 2, and 3 taught me today is that God already knows how to solve our problems. What he wants from us is an offering, like what the Brother of Jared did with his rocks to find light for his ship. God touched them in an anwser to his faithful prayer, and them saw him face to face. I feel like our offerings are time, patience, and just good hard work. I am working on that currently, but I know that God responds to my prayers, he wants to bles me, and will when I show my faith. I know he will do the same with giving Amy a good job, Mama and Dad guidance for their family, Meg and Abby help in their jobs and studies as well, and everyone else whatever it is that they need.<br /><br />I love everyone! Have a great week, and read in the Book of Mormon! Jennifer, if you are reading this right now, I want to invite you to read the Book and Mormon and pray if it is true. I promise that when you do, you will feel a spirit and assurance like never before that these things are true. God has a solution for everyone, and a plan for us to live with Him after this life. Grandma Tackett will find comfort if you read with her. Although she forgets sometimes, hearing the words of Christ will help her to have the spirit.<br /> I love everyone! Read Ether <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2038287673" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">12:41</span></span> and share it with all your friends and family</div>

I dont understand Peru. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Well, to start off, Hma. Tuquerres received the best new ever: This past Saturday her parents got baptized! During the whole week, we were sharing this news in lessons and pretty much with everyone we met. She was so happy, we included them in every single one of our prayers, and now almost her whole family are members of the church. Just missing her older sister. And, on the same day of their baptism, our amazing and real convert Agusto attended the temple for the first time to do baptisms for the dead. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">This experience just strengthened my faith so much, that really our objective is to be together as families and never separated. I was thinking alot about the blessing that I have had to be born in the covenant and have a sealed family, but also about all the aunts and uncles and grandparents that have yet to be sealed to me. They have seeped into my dreams at night, where I am teaching them as a misisonary about the things I teach everyday to families here- the bom, faith, repentance, the commandments. I can imagine myself inviting them to be baptized. My companion told me she does the same thing in her dreams, and that its just evidence that the mission has done its job- we have gotten to the point where we are applying this in our lives and with our families. I makes me so happy to know that I will be with my parents and sister forever, but thats still not enough. I have a strong feeling that when I get back I need to teah all of them. But I wont be alone! We really do need to chat with all the missionaries in thir areas so that we can give them the opportunity to know the gospel. It may be a little difficult at first, but bigger conversions have happened before, like in Alma 22 and Helaman 3. And especially Alma 36. If that could happen with people inicuo, (evil and rebellious) it can happen with our aunts and uncles and grandparents. I think I wanna begin with Andrea and Jennifer, they would be the closest to accepting the gospel. They are still living the in our old block, Everglade right? Let me know next time, okay? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I just feel the need to get stuff going. Every single time we have someone in our branch accompany us or present their family, I get so happy they are extending this invitation of love to them, and it makes me want to do the same thing. We are having alot of changes here- this week we begin a new transfer, we are getting a new mission president in July, (sob), we have new missionaries here in Nasca, and we alot have a new branch and district presidency. And last but not least, the Trujillo Peru temple dedication this Sunday! It makes me a little overwhelmed, but more than anything excited. As they say int Doctrine and Covenants, "Yo apresurare mi obra en mi tiempo." </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">i AM SO HAPPY THAT EVERYONE HAD AN AMAZING WEEK, AND i HAVE TO SIGN OFF RIGHT NOW, BUT i love everyone! Read Alma 32 and 26 today, you will feel better. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Love, </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Shermana Addington</span><br />

<div class="a3s" id=":t2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<div dir="ltr">
This week as a week of alot of endings, but many beginnings. Me and Hma, Tuquerres headed off to Ica <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_236613649" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span> to have the last multizone and despidir (say goodbye) to the Douglas family. It was something so great to hear Presidents last words as a mission president, and also fro Hma. Douglas and Chris. They really, apart from so many things, have shown me what it is be a family that perseveres until the end. They have experienced so many hardships in their life that wouldn't be that different than other families. But they have used the Book of Mormon and the temple as their strength.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Hma. Douglas got up to share her last testimony, written all by herself in Spanish, not translated by anyone. It wasn't long, but it was a triumph for her. That is something else I will remember from them, he key to being resilient. Encouraging your efforts even more than your success, and not seeing things as failure, but more as a way to change and improve. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />Then the Fowler's got up and shared their testimonies. We had just sung the hymn "Come Come Ye Saints." In Spanish the title is, "Oh esta todo bien", more or less, "all is well." Elder Fowler told us that his great great grandfather wrote that hymn as a pioneer. After having a nightmare that his wife had a miscarriage, he ran to find her. When he realized that she was fine, and later on delivered a healthy baby, he was so happy ha held a party in his home with all his friends. and wrote the hymn. The part at the end, "all is well", is what Elder Fowler thinks every time he has a trial. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
When Joseph Smith was given instruction about the brass plates, and overcome with tons of responsibility, his mother asked him how he was. His response " All is well, mother. I feel very well.(Mo siento bastante bien.) After the storm, there is always a calm. After a fight, there is always a moment to reflect and repent. After everything has been said and done, if we trust in God and his understanding Love, everything will be handled the way he desires it to be, and all will be well. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />I have felt that type of calm energy come over me this week. In all the work we are doing here, me and Hma., Tuquerres were a little overwhelmed the other day. We only have one investigator with a baptismal date, Jose Carlos, who still hasn't attended church. Also, our less active didn't attend yesterday. Just one, who we don't eve n know if shes less active or not. But I know that God is just giving us a little trial, to see where our faith and works are. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Then, after all I can do, he will say,<br />"All is well." That's my only fear, failing God. But if I and we all do everything in our power to not only keep his commandments, but keep making covenants, and helping others to make and keep them as well. we will never fail Him. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br />Its like it says in the last chapter or Enos. I have no time to look it up, but its amazing to read about his loyalty.<br />Stay loyal, stay true, and keep it real and blue.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I love EVERYONE! Have a great week!<br />Hermana Addington</div>

<span style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">I didnt mean to send that last email without anything. I just feel so rushed in this email time. Anyway, this week I have learned so much, and my testimony has really been strengthened. This week me and Hma, Tuquerres really put the goal of finding 10 nuevos to the test. We began contacting more, asking for more references and names in every lesson, and chatting with our lider missional and new branch president about plans that we could set and follow to help in finding these 10 nuevos. At the end of planning yesterday, the total was 3. Although I was a little dissappointed that we didnt meet this goal, I really felt more motivated than anything to make myself better. To make this area better, and become better missionaries, it requires alot of faith and diligence. That is shown through doing all these things that I was probably no fully completing, like street contacting, like asking for names,many things. I feel like you set that goal with us to elevate our faith, and help us to really be better missionaries, and realize that God also has everything already included in His plan for us. So thank you, President. Other than that, the temple dedication was amazing, and I feel so priveleged to be in Peru in my mission at this time. God knows exactly where I need to be, and its here. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #e7e6e2; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">I feel motivated to work even harder and apply the atonement in my life! </span><br />

That was the resume of what happened this week mission wise. The last part was my favorite. This Fathers Day, the Trujillo temple was dedicated. It is a representation of the beauty, faith, and dillegence not just of all the people from Trujilli, but all the Peruvian saints, misisonaries, and helpers that made this amazing temple possible. Although we couldnt be there physically in the city with President Utchdorf, Elders Bednar, Wadell, Uceda, and countless others, we were able to view everything from our small but holy chapel. It was treated like a temple for a day. When we entered, there were hymns playing, videos of amazing temples, and I just felt the spirit hit me like a wall. I literally felt like I was inside a temple.<br />
As we watched President Utchdorf seal in the cornerstone, he talked about the significance of fathers day. I couldnt think of any better way the celebrate what our Heavenly Father would want on His day. I thought about my father Phiklip Addington, and all the sacrifices he made throughout my life so that I can be strong in teh gospel, and the constant guidance of my mother. I thought about my companions parents who had just been baptized , and what they must be feeling for their daughter- pride, love, mostly love.<br />
I am so grateful, Dad for everything you have given me. Never stop listening to the counsel of your Heavenly Father, he will always tell you what to do!<br />
Happy Fathers day to Fathers everywhere and in heaven. May the example Heavenly Father sent us always be out guiding light. Ether <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1551619606" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">12:33</span></span> is amazing, read it because I dont have time to type it.<br />
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of life's great questions is “Who am I?” A beloved Primary song helps even little children answer this question. We sing, “I am a child of God, and he has sent me here.” The knowledge that we are children of God provides strength, comfort, and hope.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Scholars have long acknowledged that the view of God held by the earliest Christians changed dramatically over the course of centuries. Early Christian views of God were more personal, more anthropomorphic, and less abstract than those that emerged later during Christianity’s creedal stage. The key ideological shift that began in the second century, after the loss of apostolic authority, resulted from a conceptual merger of Christian doctrine with Greek philosophy.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Latter-day Saints believe the melding of early Christian theology with Greek philosophy was a grave error. Chief among the doctrines lost in this process was the nature of the Godhead. Latter-day Saints hold that God the <span style="background: 0px 0px rgb(254, 251, 191); border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Father</span> is an embodied being with the attributes ascribed by the earliest Christians. That belief is consistent with the early Christian views of God, yet it differs from the later creeds.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We are all literally children of God, spiritually begotten in the premortal life. As His children, we can be assured that we have divine, eternal potential and that He will help us in our sincere efforts to reach that potential.<br />
Love,<br />
Hermana Addington</div>

Why do they all call them Internet palaces here? Its like a motel compared to a hotel. This week me and Hma. Tuquerrez visied alot of really great families. At first we only had 2 investigators progressing, and then one day we knock on both their doors and find their husbands. Roger, Luz husband( well theyre not actually married. Dropped that sucker punch on }us at the last second.) BUt he is really anxious to learn more. He told he he felt happy whn we shared the first vision. He wants to read and pray and actually kno }w if its true. Thats somehting he never would have thought about doing if he hadn't decided to let us in and tach. The same for another new investigator, Jonathan. He is Diana"s(investigator) husband, and had already listened to the missionaries as a teenager. But he felt like they were just teating him as a number and not a person. But now he feels like coming back to church, now that he has a family. And hes married! At least thats what they both told us. You can never be too sure in Peru. We really do have high hopes for the both of them. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">My testimony on the family really has been strengthened the longer I have been in the mission. Really, the benefits are pretty obvious to the members of the church, if not to the whole world. I commemorated L. Tom Perry this week by re reading his conference talk on the Family. And he really was a great and true writer. I know that his family is just persevering for the way when they can all be together again in the celestial kingdom. But that thing I love about church doctrine, is that it continually focuses on learning by faith and repenting. Even after this life we are going to continue working as missionaries, temple worshipping, everything we have done here. That's why we have to attain his growing desire to learn right now, so that it strengthens as we die and pass onto the next life. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">We are all in this life preparing for bigger and better things. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">And I am so happy to hear my family an friends" stories about making new families of their own,. passinonto college, making new friends. having new jobs. Although we might forget things from time to time, God wants us to keep trying no matter what. I have realized that the more time I have in my mission, the more focused and curious and humble I need to be. Because I still have so many hings to get done, and apply afterward. Bu for now, I am going to stay by the tree, like Michael T. Ringwood said. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I hope everyone has an amazing week! Work as hard as you can! Thats the cure for any disanimated mind. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Love, </span><br />

You basically just saw the least gross pics. I was there for it all, the slaughtering, the de feathering, the cleaning, and finnally, the cooking. We were fasting while all this happened. Thank goodness. It was a fun and gross experience, like watching current Nickelodeon shows. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Dear President, </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Thank you for your constant prayers for all the missionaries in the mission. I can say with confidence that this week they have been answered, at least for one experience that me and Hma. Tuquerres had. I was feeling that we needed to make a change in our area, and after the zone meeting, we were feeling really anxious to improve in our finding efforts. But for the first few days, it seemed nothing was really sticking with the people we taught. Then we decided to fast and consecrate our efforts. Then, one night where all our appointments fell through, we decided to pray. Pray for a new solution, pray to find a family that was waiting for us. After the prayer,I still wasnt sure where to go, but we thought to visit an old investigator. Right next door, we found a golden investigator. Her name is Luz( symbol), she"s married with one son, and understands the doctrine perfectly. She and her sister Marley, who also knows the doctrine perfectly as well, both came to church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_387194733" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span>, and Luz accepted to be baptized but not with a date yet. I am so grateful for this amazing blessing, knowing that the only way to obtain the rocio del cielo is trough the spirit. I am so willing to follow every impression I have from now on. I know we have to continue working, but this experience really has strengthened my testimony of the Savior and hope. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">"Thank you for sharing your expierience of faith <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_387194734" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> night.

<div>
<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;"><br /></span>I have decided to begin all my letters with something I wrote to President, so that ya"ll can all see my efforts in the mission and not just think I am over here petting llamas and eating chupettes. (Peruvian popsicles) And also sometimes I just don"t know how to begin a super good and memorable letter.<br />Weas you have read, me and Hma. Tuquerrez had a miracle this week finding Luz and her sister Marley. They really are golden investigators. All of these little things that we had learned this week about contacting, teaching better, being more consecrated, following the spirit just clicked. We were so happy after that first lesson we had with them both that we sent a text to Pres. Douglas that night, thanking him for all his constant suppot. He sent us back another saying he was impressed we follow the spirit. Never had I had an experience in the mission I thought worthy enough to send to Pres. Douglas in a message. But this really was amazing.<br />In other way this week has also been really great. because Agusto RECEIVED THE PREISTHOOD. That man is gonna be a member of the seventy if I have anything to do about it. It really has been great seeing his change though. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_387194735" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> he came to church with all the chairs set up, a haircut, his new white shirt, lcutching his book of mormon. I wanted to cry, because he really is getting better everyday. Before we had found new inv. this week, he was kinda like our little burst of adrenaline, someone we could see when our spirits were a little down. But now, no more! But seriously, this week I have learned a good lesson. You can"t get water out of an empty bottle. "No puede sacar auga de un bottella basilla."<br />In order to keep constantly baptizing, we have to constantly find new investigators, and in order to teach better, we have to constantly study. Its all a pettern we have to follow in life.<br />This is something I have to constantly keep in mind, both in and out of the mission. God wants us to be more like stairs, and less like elevators. Instead of having an inconstant success, he wants us to be continually improving. There is no such thing as stagnant.<br />Speaking of things not being stagnant, I heard SEAN GOT MARRIED ALREADY! THATS AMAZING IM SO HAPPY ! Seriously, it is an amazing blessing to find the person who completes you in all ways. I think Sean and Ezekiel are that kind of couple.<br />Also, Meg graduates in a couple days, and DAN GETS MARRIED AS WELL! As my companion says "Tranquilla!" Seriously, I am way impressed by these milestones people are taking. It really is amazing.<br />I hope that this weeks stays fresh for everyone! If I forgot to mention anybody forgive me., because this internet place is the the worst place for concentration.<br />P.S. Thanks Mama and Dad for sending me money. I m sorry I have been so stressed about that lately. I promise to spend it with prudence.<br />Cuidense!<br />Love,<br />Hermana Addington</div>

And I will forgive you only on that condition. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Anyway, bygones be bygones, this week was really great. Hmo. Agusto was able to be baptized with another family the elders were teaching, and as you can see in the pics, it was a pretty happy occasion. Looking at him, Agusto seems like a very timid person, but he has a testimony of the Book of Mormon like you would not believe. Everytime we began a lesson, he shared a scripture he has learned that day, and how he wanted to apply it to his life. When he gave his testimony afterward, holding his BOM in his hands, he was almost at the point of tears, sharing about his repentance, his willingness to make more sacred covenants with the Lord in the temple, (the best part), and how he is going to use the book of Mormon everyday to overcome the tempations waiting for him. It was literally like listening to a person being born again.Theres this scripture in Alma that says we were preordained with specific talents and responsibilities, and that its our job to develop them while here on Earth. I know Agusto is here for that. The next day, me and Hma. Tuquerres came to the chapel 30 mins early, and found Agusto setting up all the chairs in the sacrament room. He was dressed in all white, just ready to try on his new white shirt and tie the Elders Quorum brought him. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">In the last general conference, someone gave a talk about Shiblon like service, the type of service not motivated by titles or rewards, but pure love for the people you serve. Agusto right there was Shiblon. But it made me think if we are all willing to serve one another in that way. Honestly before my mission, I wasnt that aware of what other help was needed, so I didnt always offer it as freely and willingly. But now I have the firm determination to better that. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I know we can find more people like Agusto here, who are willing to really put their time aside in order to act and learn by the spirit and faith. It isnt going to be easy, because after every baptism its literally like starting from Zero, new investigators, new baptismal dates, new everything. But I know that God only gave us this trial so that we can learn from it. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Time is flying so amazing fast here. This last week President Douglas gave his last training with us. He taught lke normal, but when it came time for him to give his testimony, we were all crying, (even the so called tough elders.) He told us despite everything, he just wanted us to remember his as a president who taught doctrine of Christ. It seems like something normal, teaching doctrine, every president does it. But he taught me more than anything how to apply it. How to open my mouth and not have fear, how to really be a representative of Jesus Christ. In order to do that, we have to live like Christ lived.Alway serving, always telling the truth, always being faithful to his followers and his Father. President Douglas really has been that person. For all of yall who have served missions, you get me. (alls i can say about that.) </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I really hope that everyone is doing okay this week, with all your jobs and studies and whatnot. Grandma Judy, tell me the names of my ancestors please so I can put their names in my Fam History book! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Also, Ames, I know the schedule doesnt get done until June, but I really want to take a piano class and a swing dance class. If theres no room, you could do either or. I think I really want the dance class first though. Girls just wanna dance. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Also, I am not accusing you of not doing it yet, but I really hope yall put mony in my account so I can buy soiuvenirs today. If not its cool, it would just be better to get this done sooner than later. Theres nothing worse than going through a Peruvian store trying to buy stuff at the last second. All the vendors look at you weird. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Okay, I love everybody! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Chaio!

Hansen, who had began her mission here, with a new sister, Hma. Murrillo from Mala. They stayed with us before Hansen headed over to Ayacucho and Hma. Murillo back to Mala with her new companion. Then we had 3 sisters , Hma. Cook(Utah) Hma., Alvarez( Mexico), and Hma Galo( Hounduras) who stayed with us until finishing ther mission the next day. In the chapel we were also joined by Pres. Douglas, other missionaries finishing their misisons, many whoo had served in Bolognesi. It also happened to be fast and testimony, so Bishop Negrette asked me to give my testimony in front of everyone. Felt like a movie scene, everybody talking about their experiences. But the real miracle was that 2 investigators showed up for sacrament, one with his family and another we had only street contacted and now even taught yet! Then teh rest of the day we went with Hma. Hansen and Murillo, where we invited an inevestigator to baptism and he accepted. Then Hma. Cook, Alvarez, and Galo spent their last nights in the mission in our large house. We wrote in each others journals, they gave out advice ,and I finally finished packing. I loved hearing the things they had to say, seeing them still smiling and laughing, Hma.Alvarez the most(but mostly out of nervousness). I learned so much from each of them, even though I never had them as my companions, I felt like they left their mark on me. Then the next morning we all headed off in different directions.<br />Just now I received this letter from President, and I feel like ti hit me right in the gut of my heart.<br /> Hermana Addington, be of good cheer. Lift your Spirits. Be positive. Build up those around you. Spread the gospel cheer. Lift up your heart and be of good cheer! Be active, not passive. Be assertive and bold with love. Wake up from a slumber and let the Spirit lift you higher!! Pls don´t take these words to be hard. I speak to you as if you were my daughter. You will see more miracles through positive eyes!! Shake off the past and go forward with a changed attitude!! We love you!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">This letter fom President reminded me of the talk I heard last night while packing to go to Nasca. Its by Jerrefy R. Holland, titled "Remember Lot"s wife, and is all about letting go of what happened in the past and making room for the future. This past transfer in Chorillos, me and Hma, Nielsen had alot of lessons, new investigators, and visited a ton of less actives and converts. But there weren"t any progressing until this last week. I was one of the most slow parts of my mission. I felt like me and Hma. Nielsen were working hard to find new investigtors, inviting them to baptism, inviting them to church, inviting less actives to repent, just pulling out all the stops, but I still didnt feel like the untiy in the ward was enough to really have the type of progression they were hoping for. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">But now, I have to make a decision, to not look back. To say, I did well on this project, this goal, and with this group of people. I worked as hard as I possibly could, and now, I can see what I need to do better i this new transfer. I have alot of new things coming my way now. I have my new raea in Nasca, 9 hrs away from Lima, have my new companion Hma. Tuquerres, (see pic I just sent), y new zone, my new investigators and less actives and converts and ward, and everything. Everything is kinda like evidence that God is telling me through President Douglas, "Okay, so this what you learned in your old area, you did okay. But here is a chance to work evern harder, be even better. I am giving you this new opportunity to prove yourself." Or more or less, I dont really have that much personal revelation right now. But still I am super excited! My zone i made up of Hma. Mendez (Mexicana) and Hma. Bailey(Utana) both are in family history. Also, somethin not so significant, he weather here is DRY. Like, I sweat but its not a humidity sweat, its more of a regular sun sweat, like at home! Thank the heavens, because I was about to die with all the water in the Lima air. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I also hear alot of changes are happening at home! I am proud of Meg and Abby for being such strong young women (especially Abby if ya know what I mean.) Also, Dad looks real proud to hold that baby I am happy. Also, thank you Amy for setting up the deposit on the apartment. We can talk nmore about plans for that next week, which is MOTHERS DAY! Ill be calling yall on Saturday around 1, just as a heads up, so we can only talk for 3 SECONDS,NOTHING MORE. And then Sunday we have the 40 mins! Yay! Start practicing your Spanish! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Also, thanks Sean for being beautiful! I love you! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Also, saludos to Grandma Judy and Grandpa Clayton! I need more photos of yall to show people in my family history journal, so send em! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I think thats all. Read Lots Wife my Elder Holland, and Alma 26, its amazing. Also, the talk Beware of Pride by Ballard. Thats all I can think of. ALso, Alma 27:18. soo good. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I love ya"·ll! </span><br />

Hermana Addington, be of good cheer. Lift your Spirits. Be positive. Build up those around you. Spread the gospel cheer. Lift up your heart and be of good cheer! Be active, not passive. Be assertive and bold with love. Wake up from a slumber and let the Spirit lift you higher!! Pls don´t take these words to be hard. I speak to you as if you were my daughter. You will see more miracles through positive eyes!! Shake off the past and go forward with a changed attitude!! We love you!<br />This letter fom President reminded me of the talk I heard last night while packing to go to Nasca. Its by Jerrefy R. Holland, titled "Remember Lot"s wife, and is all about letting go of what happened in the past and making room for the future. This past transfer in Chorillos, me and Hma, Nielsen had alot of lessons, new investigators, and visited a ton of less actives and converts. But there weren"t any progressing until this last week. I was one of the most slow parts of my mission. I felt like me and<br /></div>

Dear President,<br />
<br />
This week has been a little bit better than the last. We ended up contacting a really good receptive number of people, found a less active family, and also started teaching an inv. family hwo had recent been through a few trials. Also, an investigator with a son serving a mission contacted us in the street the other day, and we have started teaching her. I am learning to be more patient and calm, and really make sure that our teaching is effective enough to bring the spirit. I have confidence that we are going to see results this week. There is still so much to make better, but little by little, this area is improving. Have a great week, and let me know how to better our ward!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">This lette is going to be really spotty and random, sorry in advance. I just have alot of important things to cover right now. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">This week has been an interesting one. I have learned I think in part to be more patient, as life in the mission is usually unexpectedly good and bad. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">As you can read in my letter to Pres. Douglas, we really have been striving to find new families. We have set up alot of appointments, and now we just fault the actual teaching and doctrine that will help them to progress. But I have faith that our work in this last week is going to change. It is going to be better, because I trust God knows what he is doing here, and our potential as a companionship. Also, Pres. and Hma Douglas are preparing to finish their misisons as well, after 3 years in Peru, they are heading back to their native Utah.It really was a great experience getting to know them, and seeing their influence in the mission, and most importantly, the missionaries themselves.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I am totally fine with La Jolla, it was a good place to live in before, and it really is a good price. Really, I am not completely sure about my fall semester classes yet, I think I will just need to talk with ya"ll in Ma. Which is going to be Mothers Day! I can"t believe it came so fast. I cant believe the mission is going by so fast. I have to take advantage of every minute while I am still here. I am trying my best to not lose focus and work hard as I can. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I love everyone and promise my next email will be filled with better happenings! </span><br />
