Mi corazón está en Cusco: CHOOSE HAPPY!

This was a fantastic week! Started with a conference with President and Sister Harbertson. Always good. My favorite part was a Q&A session with Sister Harbertson. She talked a little bit about something that I want to be the theme for pretty much the rest of my life. Choose faith. Choose obedience. Choose charity. Choose faith. Choose HAPPY. With all that, we`re set. Through the good and the hard. I love the scripture in D&C 123:16-17.

16 You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves.

17 Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.

Even just the smallest thing can make a huge difference. Do all that we can CHEERFULLY, then be still and trust in God to help us with the rest. Especially in the mission field, when we recognize this, we can not only endure to the end, but have joy while doing it. That`s my goal.

In other news, JORGE AND GLORIA HAVE A BAPTISM DATE. January 31, we are having a family baptism! Hna Hill and I are pretty stoked! They`re so great. They came to church and even the kids asked if they could come back every week. The 11 year old wanted his own copy of the Book of Mormon instead of just sharing with his mom. They`re just so happy. And that makes me happy. That`s the whole reason we`re here.

That was the highlight :) Other random news, we had a lesson with a less actieve the other day and he had 3 of his friends there so we taught them too. We asked if we could come back and teach them again sometime too. They agreed and we set up an appointment. Afterwards they told us that it was actually a class that they have that they want us to come to with 12 other people... that`s on Wednesday. We`ll see how it goes. I`ll keep you updated.

What else? Not much. I`ll be honest, one of us was sick this week (won`t say who so that moms don`t worry), so we were in the house for four days... but all that considered, it was a pretty fantasic week!

The pictures you`re getting are all from pday, sorry... one from last week and the others all from today. We kind of had a super pday. We got to Moray (the only place we actually planned to go to) and they told us that we had to pay for the ticket that included all of these places. We had to pay, and we weren`t going to waste it, so we had a great, long, Incan ruin filled Monday. No complaints :) minus maybe the sunburn. Esta bien!

Love you all! Have a super duper week!

Chao!
