Week 63 (July 31, 2017)

Family Night with our investigator that gets baptized August 12 :)

Fruit salad we made. The orange grape looking fruit is an exotic fruit called aguaymanto, and it's delicious. 

Pictures of my area on our roof. We have no hills in our area.

This week was a little interesting that started out good, was a little challenging, but ended ok.  Life is not always sunshine and rainbows, but we have oppistion in all we can know the bad to know the good!

This week, first off, Happy Pioneer Day!! I hope everyone enjoyed and celebrated the 24th to celebrate the pioneers who came to utah and for all there trials and hardships so that we can live in peace today!

This week here in Peru was there Independence Day! July 28th AND 29th! they have 2 days and all month long they have things going on. and we have a peru flag pin that we wore all month on our jackets to celebrate :)  Also these 2 days no one was home, or they were busy, or sleeping. haha but that just makes it fun to see who you can teach. 

This week we have also continued to visit less active members from our list of members to find those part member families or other referals. 

Friday and Saturday was a Convention of YSA!  From 18 stakes in this part of lima! and we went at the begining and the end to find who werent members. And I saw the young single adults from every single one of my areas!!! In Canto Rey and my convert Orlando! And another who was Ediths son who used to always drink and now Im still not sure if he ever got baptized but he has definelty cleaned his life up a bit.  and also Bayovar with some return missionaries that always helped us, and in Chinchaysuyu! and even our ward now! It was such a sweet reunion to see everyone!!

We also went at the end to make sure we got all the references for our mission. It was basically a youth conference but for YSA.  

I know that this church is true and that the book of mormon is true!! We must be reading the book of mormon everyday individually and as a family.  I am so greatful for my parents and there example to do so. Thank you for all your support and for all you guys do.

I love you all and I am excited to see what happens next and I hope you all have a wonderful week and a wonderful summer.

Love, Hna Smoot

Oh I forgot to tell you, but a Sister who served in the mission Chile Osorno came home to our ward!! I told her that ally served in that same mission and she said that ally went home the same transfer that she entered, so ally doesnt know her, but she aparently served in one of the same areas as Ally had before! So cool! Shes adorable but I cant remember her last name. Cynthia something.
