Greetings from Down South of the Equator!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! The other day I was describing to my Peruvian Companion about what Black Friday is. She was so amazed and couldn't believe that people wait in such a long line and then swarm into the stores when their doors open. She had seen something like it in a movie, but was still amazed haha. This week was pretty normal, nothing too exciting going on. I started an English class on Thursday which was pretty fun. There weren't many people there, but I taught them the ABCs and the song that goes with it. The youth here like to ask me what the words mean in the American songs that they listen to. The work here in Pisco is slowly but surely coming along. I'm learning new things everyday and it's the best!
I hope everyone has a great week this week! Until next time here's a scripture from the Book of Mormon that I love: Ether 12:4. Look it up. Done.
Love Always,
HERMANA HARBISON

Family and Friends,
Hope you had a great week! I believe it's going to be Thanksgiving up there this week, hope everyone has a great holiday! Here are somethings I'm grateful for as a missionary:
-Peruvian Food that tastes great
-The nice and cozy apartment that we have
-Hot water to take a shower in
-The health I have to go out and work
-My Companion Hermana Riveros
-The support I get out here from my Family and Friends
-Every single one of our investigators and the opportunity we have to teach them
-Agency
-The opportunity to serve Heavenly Father
-The new things I learn every day
-A lot more other things, but I only have a half an hour to write...
I'm truly grateful for this opportunity to serve as a missionary. I'm grateful I had this time to reflect on the great things I've been blessed with. I'm sad I won't be spending the holiday with my family, BUT I know that they're safe and I'll be working hard helping the people of Peru. I truly wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a big thanks to everyone for your support!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings from Pisco Peru!
Everything is going great here! The ward I´m in is small and humble. Yesterday we had to give the talks in Sacrament Meeting. It was nerve wracking because I found out the night before and had an hour to prepare it all... But I think I got my message across. Here in Esperanza, Pisco there´s only dirt roads for most of the town and the 3 main roads are paved. Our area is pretty big because there´s a part that´s a 20 minute moto taxi ride there and an hour walk back. There´s a few people out there that we´re teaching so we have to make the trek about twice a week. I have yet to take a picture of the moto taxis here, but try googling it they´re pretty awesome. It´s a 3 wheeled vehicle that fits 3 people in the back and the drive is front and center. That´s the way we get around town here, there aren´t any cars except on the main road. I love it! Really there´s nothing else too exciting here, we´ve got a lot of work to do and we´re doing it. Hope you all have a great week!
Love Always,

Greetings from Pisco Peru!
This week was the week of transfers and I've been transferred to Pisco! It's 4 hours south of Lima. It's a lot hotter and there's a lot more dirt here. Google it and I'm sure you'll find things about an earthquake that happened here 5 years ago and you'll see it's a lot of desert but pretty close to the ocean. It was sad to say goodbye to everyone in the ward I was in. But looking at those I helped teach and saying goodbye to them, I just knew and felt that I did all I could to help them. My companion is Hermana Riveros, my first companion in the mission. I'm excited to be reunited with her, after a short 6 weeks, because I know we're going to do some hard work here in this area. This was her first area in her mission, then she went to Surco, then she came back here and a month later I followed her. The bus ride down here was interesting. I got to see more of Peru and I got to see the ocean which was really pretty. I'm excited to be here, it'll be something different from the city that's for sure. But different is good, so I'm not worried at all.
Time flies by really fast here in the mission which really stinks, but I still learn so many things everyday. I hope everyone has a great week and if you need anything let me know!
Love Always,
HERMANA HARBISON
