Today the sun is shining!

HI! How´s it going? Today the sun is shining and I feel super happy. How are you? I hope you´ve had a great week!

So I forgot to tell you last week, but Peru was the only country in the whole world that didn´t see General Conference last weekend. There were elections on Sunday, and the law here says that no one can have a religious meeting. We didn´t even go to church last week! Super weird, right? So we finally got to see the conference yesterday and Saturday. And let me just say, IT WAS AMAZING. I absolutely LOVED it! For the first time here in Perú, I got to watch it in English! Even though I understand Spanish, there´s something special about hearing it in your own language, and hearing the real voices of the people as they speak. I was smiling all weekend long. I love Mormons! Seriously, we are slightly different, but I can´t help but feel so blessed to be one of them.

Well, we have found lots of new people this week. 2 younger guys, 17 and 25 years old. The 25 year old didn´t seem SUPER interested in our message, but his younger brother sure did. He asked us about 300 questions and listened really intently as we explained everything. We talked about the Book of Mormon, and he was super excited to read it. Another teenager, 19 years old, went to the conference yesterday, and he really loved it! He started talking to some of the elders, and they asked him "So when are you getting baptized?" That freaked him out a little bit, but he laughed about it and looked super happy. We also taught Hermana Maria Julia again, and her daughter. Her daughter is progressing really well! She had a ton of questions about the purpose of this life, and we taught her all about the plan of Salvation. We met another lady that used to reject us every time we knocked her door, but she finally let us in, and we all felt the Spirit as we were able to talk about God´s restored church.

There are so many people that need to hear this message! Every day it blows my mind how many people are searching for the truth; how many people just want answers to their questions. I am so blessed to have the answers, to be sure that God is in charge and that He will take care of me. Because there are so many people in this world that don´t feel that. But don´t worry, we´re telling everyone we can about Him. They´ll understand someday.

Have a wonderful week! I love you so much! Talk to you all soon!

all my love,

Hermana Scott
