Here is a letter from Chalea today.  She is sure working hard and doing well.

Hey Papa!!!

Every week I love the pictures and the coordinating captions! haha! you always know how to put a smile on my face.:) One of the zone leaders was looking at the pictures with me and he likes Moroni's new sword. ;) haha! The quotes are funny too! I told Corbs some hints that will help his cookies to turn out next time.:) We had fireworks too! Well, we always have fireworks here in Chosica. It is farther away from the city, so they have a little more freedom than they do in Lima. Chosica reminds me of when you say that you are happy your classroom is far away from the office because no one comes to bother you. haha! I seriously love it! We met our new president this week and his family. THey are so great!!! I know they were meant to be here, and they are already becoming a part of the big mission family. We had a huge learning experience this week. We had our zone meeting and it was going good until some people who think they are big shots started burning the zone leaders in front of everyone. Let's just say that we all learned a lot. I have so much respect, especially after the meeting, for our zone leaders. They taught us so much about humility, charity, and true strength through their examples. 

Let me tell you about one of our investigators. His name is Julian Brown. He is the brother of the stake president. He has talked with the missionaries many times. He is such a good person!!! but he wants a sure sure answer from the Lord. We are not exactly sure what that is because he was given an earthquake during a prayer with some of the other sisters. I felt impressed the other day that we should read the Book of Mormon with him, because he doesn't have a testimony of it yet. He reminds me a lot of me. he also needs to realize who he really is as a son of God. So we are working with that too. I have been praying a lot for him lately. 

Things are going really well here! There are only 4 hermanas here in this zone. They say only los valientes get sent to Chosica. I love it here! My companion is really great! and we live with the other 2 hermanas in the zone, so every day we are laughing. Well, that's about it from my end. I hope you guys are doing well and continue to enjoy the summer! I love you so much Papa! keep helping the missionaries.

I LOVE YOUª!!!

Love,
