Aug. 23 - Letter from Shylo's Companion & pics

We didn't hear from Shylo on Monday this week and was starting to worry when Tuesday, Aug. 23rd, her companion wrote me a short note to assure me she was alright. Such an answer to a Momma's worried heart for me! This is what Hermana Mostert wrote:

Dear Sister Tricia.
Hna Lawrence had to go to LIma for a surprise training so to make sure you wouldnt worry, because she wont write till thursday, she gave me your email. Your daughter is doing just fine, were working hard out here in Ica and seeing many miracles. I must add that I do love her dilligence and love for all the people here. Also that now she like to go out and run in the morning. Were excited for another transfer together. Anyways here is some photographic evidence that your daughter is indeed well.

Aug. 25, 2016                Week 12 – Ica, Peru


Wow what a week it has been! And I don´t have much time! Boo! But I am glad that Hermana Mostert sent you a message! I don´t have cambios I just got called to Lima! Sorry for the scare when I didn´t write! Every 6 weeks we write on Tuesday´s for cambios. But this was a good week! I have my journal entries so that you can read them and I am sorry that I didn´t finish Monday or the rest of the week. Its been a crazy week. I just wanted to let you know how much I love you and how grateful I am for you! 

Can't believe it's already been 4 months - WOW! Time flies!



 







Aug. 15 - Week 11 in Ica - My Testimony & lots of Journal pages



Aug. 15, 2016                Week 11 – Ica, Peru

What a week it has been! I don´t have a whole lot to say this week other than yes ...I am going to have 4 months this 19th. I feel like I left yesterday. I just want to be here in the work forever honestly. I already have a fear of coming home haha I just love it all so much!!! I just want to share my testimony this week. 

I know that my Savior lives. I know that He lived, suffered, died, and was resurrected so that we can live together as a family. I know that yours and dad´s decision to be sealed in the temple blessed not only your lives but the whole family´s lives. I know that my Savior loves me. I know that through Him I can repent of every little sin and mistake. I know that my family loves me very much. I know that this gospel is true. I know that there is one true church here on the earth and that is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. I know that this is the only church that has the power and authority to act in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer. I know that my mission has already helped my testimony but I also know that this work is not about me nor is it for me. Yes it helps me, but this work is about the salvation of others. This work goes on with or without me but I have the privilege of giving a tiny portion of my life to the Lord. I love my family. I love my Savior. I love the Plan of Salvacion. I love this gospel and this work.  I know my Savior lives. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 
I love you to eternity and beyond.

Love, Hermana Lawrence
