This week I made an interesting personal observation; I realized that I am kinda like, (lack for a better term) a Cultural Mutt. haha. I Dont think thats a bad thing though. In fact I am so grateful for it. But it does make it a little difficult to answer questions about Canada. I don't know, I guess coming from a diverse cultural house it makes it difficult for me to answer ´what kind of food do people eat in your country?´ , or what do they export most? I guess I have realized how much a don´t know about my own country, living here in Peru haha. But thats ok. They seem to accept my guesses and apologies for not knowing lol.
Speaking of culture, the stake had a big cultural night at this new stake center that was just dedicated, and we were able to go and see a little bit of that. Wow. It was really neat to see some legit south american traditional culture, they can sure dance.
This week we were able to find some people that have really been prepared by the Lord. what a blessing it is to be able to present to someone what they have been looking for in this life, whether they knew they were looking for it or not. An experience really special is when you can see that flicker of light in their eyes, when you know they feel the Spirit and it is testifying to them that everything we are talking about is true. Those moments really are something, when you can feel that you are an instrument in the hands of the Lord. The Spirit really is key in missionary work, and in our day to day lives as members. When we have that spiritual connection with our Father in Heaven, there is no limit to what understanding and light we can receive, and other people will be able to see it in us.
I love you guys, take care this week!
