Week 70- The best missionaries don't wear a badge

Sister Thompson's cast... it's beautiful right?

Dear Friends and Family,

 

I really wish this week were as eventful as last but it hasn't been that exciting. It was one of those weeks that we worked hard but not as rewarding as we hoped. Everyone we found pretty much didn't live in our sector.

 

Anyways, this week started out with Machu Picchu on Monday and Tuesday we had to go pick up a sister who guess what.... is in a cast. I felt so bad for her. I was like I know EXACTLY how that is. I told the office that she needed a wheelchair and we worked together and had a lot of fun. I think me being in a cast was good because she knew that she wasn't the only one who felt discouraged or down for not being able to work. It made me laugh though because one Sister tried to make it all better by saying I know exactly how you feel. I once had a cast on my wrist. The sister with her ankle cast and I just looked at each other and laughed because not walking is much different than a cast on your arm. haha

 

The most exciting part was that Elder Nelson came to visit Cusco yesterday for a devotional. It was really good. He talked a lot about how to talk to other people about what you believe. He talked about the importance of prophets and apostles and 70s but that they can't do it all which is why there are missionaries and had the missionaries in attendance stand up. Then we sat down and said, ''The best missionaries don't wear a badge though.'' I thought about that a lot and the ways I would like to continue sharing the faith and testimony I have hear with those at home. It is so true. The best missionaries are the normal people like you.



 I ran into Julian... he's from Puerto and one of
my favorite people. Best surprise ever from last night!!!!

Well, transfers are this week. I am staying in Cusco and there are 2 new sisters that will be living with me. The only problem is that they may be my 2 favorite sisters. I am going to have to make sure we get to bed and don't stay up talking for forever. It will be a good transfer for Christmas!!!

 

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

 

Love Always,

Hermana Lang
