Hola Familia y Amigos,

I hope your week treated you well. Below is a picture of our Family Home Evening that we had with Hermana Milagros (the mom), Valentina, and Antonio this past Monday. (The two kids were baptized last month, Hna Milagros wants to be baptized but isn´t married with the person she´s living with which means she isn´t complying with the Law of Chastity...Which means she can´t get baptized yet)

Part of the lesson was to list the blessings that we´ve received from Heavenly Father and then we shared one from our list. Well Hna Milagros started and said that a blessing was having the gospel in her life. She then started to cry explaining her gratitude and the change she´s seen in her kids and in her life. I almost started to cry but I was just so happy I couldn´t. It was a confirmation to me that I´m doing my job. I just sat there and smiled and then shared that a blessing in my life was the opportunity I have to be a missionary. This family changed my life. I´m blessed to have gotten to know them and share the gospel with them. I´m sure I´ve said this before, but I´ll say it again. I don´t know why I didn´t want to serve a mission before hand. I´m truly grateful for this opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people here in Perú.

Have a great week!

Love Always,

Buenas Dias!


This week was as great week because we got to go to the temple! Here´s a picture of me and my companions outside the temple

Hermana Bermudez, Myself, and Hermana Giudice

Here´s a picture of the temple here in Lima.

As announced in General Conference, they´re going to build another temple in Arequipa which is in the southern part of the country. They´re also building one in Trujillo up in the north. It´s pretty great that there are going to be three temples here in Perú!

The work here in the field is going great. Yesterday I gave a talk in Church all in Spanish. Pretty sure my stomach turned upside down, because I was pretty nervous to convey my message in Spanish. However, I think it went smoothly and they understood... Hope everything is great where ever you may be, have a great week!

Love Always,
HERMANA HARBISON

Family and Friends,

Well how great was conference? I was lucky, there´s another North American Hermana in our Zone, so together we were able to go watch it in the English room. I was able to understand all the great words from the General Authorities. Hope you all enjoyed conference as much as I did. The words of the Prophet and Apostles are really inspired and can tell you just what you need to hear and how to apply it to your life. Well conference was really the highlight of the week. I´m learning lots of new things with my 2 companions each day. Love that about the mission, you learn so much in so many different aspects. Today the sun is out, for the first time in a while. Spring is really on its way, woohoo! Everything is going great here in Perú, I hope it´s going great for you where ever you may be!

Have a great week!

Love Always,

Just writing to say that all is well here in the field. We're on a path to find new investigators right now. Right now I'm in a trio. One of my companions has been in the field for 10 months, Hermana Giudice and Hermana Bermudez is straight out of the CCM. Hermana Giudice is from Argentina and is really great. Hermana Bermudez is eager to learn and preach the gospel and she's from Trujillo Peru. They are both great and I'm learning a lot of new things with them. The fact that I have new companions is really all the exciting news I have. Our ward is great, love all the members. We're really working with them so we can have some references. Support your local missionaries, give them references. Period. Hope all is well where ever you may be. Write me if you need anything.

Until next time, have a great week!

Love Always,

HERMANA HARBISON
