SALUDOS DESDE ...........SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!

EN EL PARQUE ECOLOGICO DE SURCO

Buenas tardes amigos and family!

The big news this week was I had cambios to...San Juan de Miraflores and Im in the area of Armonia.

First of all let me say how greatful I am for the opportunity I had last cambio to train. I think it really tried my strength and faith, but helped me grow as a missionary and as a person in general aswell.  I now have the great opporutnity to work with Hermana Turley in Armonia, San Juan.  SHe is a very hard worker and I am eager to learn from her dilligence and experience. She fininishes this transfer and its crazy cause im here first gringa (well half) companion. We get alot of weird looks in the street because were both lighter skined and taller than everyone, but hey it makes it easier to contact because everyone is eager to talk with las norte americanas.

Anyways I was able to learn alot in my time in Bolognesi. To be completly honest, when I left Ayacucho I never thought I would like any part of Lima, but Bolognesi proved me wrong. The members are the best and I have learned to love so many people there. I will truly miss alot of them. The happiest news though I recieved as I was saying goodbye to all the members was that our family of recent converts, Familia Marcos is getting sealed on the 31st of March!! I am beyond happy to know that very, very soon they will be an eternal family.

Anyways excited to work hard!

Buenos Dias Familia and Friends,

This week went by very quickly and very smoothly. I was able to get to know my companion a little bit better and we were both able to support and help each other improve in different aspects of missionary life. We were also able to go out and search, search, search. Which we were able to see many miracles and blessings. In particular one night, when all our backup plans we decided to look for a less active brother that a member had given us the refferal of. We finally found the house, and while there was no doorbell, we had to yell abit to see if Alonso was home. Out of one of the windows popped the head of a woman in her late 30s who told us that he wasnt home. We started asking her her name and contacting here and found out that her mother lived in the US and was a member. We came back 2 days later and taught her, Sara and her son! They were both very interested in the book of mormon, and they are both so kind and receptive. Now we just have to find Saras husband, who wasnt home that time. We wont stop till we get this cute little family to the temple! 

Anyways we were also able to have a bitter sweet moment this Sunday, when we were able to see Hno Luis, the brother we helped reactivate a little over a month ago, recieve a calling! Also he also got up and bore his testimony! Its little moments like that when I can really see how the gospel can cause great changes of hearts. 

This I had a funny experience, carrying bricks for 2 hours. We went to a members home to lend service and my companion and I made an assembly line. It reminded me of old factories in the U.S. So then I proceeded to explain all the history of the Industrial revolution and factory work reform history of the US to my companion, who was surprisingly very interested. But the funniest thing was that there were some people outside fixing a fridge and they came in and sat down and listen to my historical schpele. Haha it was actually great.

Well that was the week in a nuttshell. Working hard in the heat and relying on the spirit in every moment.

SALUDOS! HERMANA MOSTERT

SALUDOS!!!!!!

HERMANAS LINARES Y MOSTERT  EN EL TEMPLO EN LIMA.

Hola familia and friends!

Sorry to make this brief, but the internet were at is pretty bad and the connection has been slow...

But anyways this was a crazy week. To put in simple terms it was hot! We had to drink alot of water because we were getting pounded by the sun. My companion had a few health problems becuase of it which made our proslyiting week a bit shorter. BUt all is well now! and we are both working hard in the vineyard of the lord! 

This weeek we had the great opportunity to go to the temple. It is such a blessing to have the temple near. The experience has helped me see the importance of making the temp´le the center of my objective as a missionary.

Anyways, sorry mom for the short letter.

CALUROSOS Y SOLEADOS SALUDOS DESDE LIMA!!!!!!

Hola family and amigos!

Sabroso Curry!!!

The sun is still burning us up, and so is the spirit!

This week we had the special opportunity to see the world wide missionary broadcast on wednesday! It was great to recieve guidance from our living apostles. The put a great focus on returning to the basics, a focusing on Preach my Gospel, which is something my companion and I are working to put in practice into our area as soon as possible.

My companions health took a toll for a couple of days, but through rest and talking through some problems we were both able to work through it. I pray for her everyday. She also got a mean case of lice this week, which ment Hna Mostert became Hna Mostert Hairstylist, as I had to cut about 6inches of her lovely black locks off. But all is good we are both lice free!

 This week we walked and walked. Many of our lessons fell through, but we werent discourage! When Sunday came everything just seemed to fall into place. We, alongside our investigators, were able to feel the spirit through the sacrament. Then in the afternoon we were able to find Daniela, the niece of an active member in our ward, and have lessons with Miguel, Daniel and Wilmer. We were able to see a recent convert family, Familia Marcos, Whom are preparing to be sealed in the temple, Accompany us in a lesson with Miguel and Lydia, and testify of the gospel and future temple blessings in their lives. we were also able to see the 1st consouler to the bishop befriend our investigator Wilmer and even have him over for lunch at his house! Wilmer is progressing alot and on a clear path to his baptism next month! We are working our hardest but know there is alot of room to improve, we pray daily for guidance.

Anyways all else is well!

Hermana Mostert.

ps i made curry on sunday for my comp and I and it was tasty

DESDE EL SOLEADO PERU

ESCALERAS A SU DEPARTAMENTO

LEYENDO SUS E-MAILS EN P-DAY

BUENAS TARDES AMIGOS AND FAMILY!!

I guess El Niño has left the building and the full furry of summer is upon us. The Sun is hot, and being in the city, the ozone layer is severly depleted and we have no protection from the sun. The members always offer us hats, but we have a strict rule in our mission against them, becuase wed be confused with all the Jehovas Witnesses haha. Do not fear! We have sunscreen and we find shade one way or another!

ESCALERAS AL CIELO!!

Twas another great week here in Bolognesi. We walked, and walked and walked. But we also talked and talked and talked with everyone; the man with the fruitstand, everyones mother, father, and cousin. I was personally able to push aside alot of my fears this week, and though our lesson numbers were slim, I know that this was one of the weeks I have learned the most in. This week we were also able, after weeks of searching, able to find a family! They are Familia Baca, the neighbors of our wards Family History Consultant. She was accompanying us and when all our lessons and backup plans fell through she told us she had a family come to her mind all of a sudden. I know that was the spirit leading us and then us to this family. They are married! And all so cheerful and receptive to the message. The husband Alex, seems to have more doubts than his wife or daughter, but they are all very willing to learn more through prayer and reading the book of mormon. Anyways this week we were able to see Felicitas confirmation. She has been sick since her baptism but was able to recieve the holy ghost this week and I can now testify that I know baptism is only half, and not complete without the gift of the holy ghost. So that was our week, long, tiring, yet amazing at the same time.

Love you all! Keep me up on your live and remember I too enjoy pictures! �de01

HERMANA FELICITA!!

So there were transfers this week and the news is.. Im still in Bolognesi with Hermana Linares!!! Wooo, its kinda strange because this is the first companion in over seven months here in the mission that ill be with for more than on transfer. But were both excited to still be together and were ready to work harder than ever before!

HERMANA FELICITA Y SU FAMILIA!!

This was another great week. Summer is finally upon us, and the sun is HOT. I think with el Niño (the boy as my companion and I call it), the weather is even more extreme. There are like 5 trees in our area, so needless to say we are both getting darker. Yes, we are flying through bottles of sunscreen and are drinking lots of lots of water. Nevertheless the work continues! 

This week we were able to have the baptism of our investigator Felicita. She has been on and off with her health the last couple weeks. And though she didnt feel that well the day of her baptism, she mustered all her strength and made it. It was one of the happiest moments Ive had in the mission so far, to be able to see someone who has had so many trials finally reach baptism. The service was beautiful, with her children (many whom are members) sharing talks and a special musical numbers that brought almost everyone to tears ( the hymn was the favorite of Felicitas husband who passed away 2 years ago). Then Felcita was able to bear the sweetest testimony. It was an unforgettable day. 

This week we were also able to find Luisa and Jose, mother and son whom had come to mind to a member, Rosio, who was accompanying us. All of our lesson and backup plans had fallen through and she said if it was alright if she could take us to visit some family members of a less active member. They are both so nice, receptive, and hilarious aswell. They also accepted our invitation to read, pray and attend church with us. My companion and I are both excited to see them begin to witness many of the blessings of the gospel.

A big hug to all yall!
