Pray for Perú

The beauty of Salaverry at sunset

This isn't my typical post because Perú isn't having a typical week. In fact, it's been quite a challenging week for many who live there.  Unfortunately heavy rains have resulted in flooding and mudslides in many area of Peru. The loss of homes, beloved possessions, and treasured keepsakes are all too common, and the people living in the affected areas could use extra prayers for comfort, safety, and the feelings of security.

Thankfully the area Elder Scott lives in has not been hit too hard and he is doing fine. It's such a blessing for those of us back home to know there are many amazing people who watch over him and the other missionaries serving in Perú. They go out of their way to ensure our missionaries are loved and always safe and sound which in turn allows the missionaries the opportunity to go out and serve in any capacity they can. It's a cycle of love and service that inspires me.

I'm including a few photos I've seen on the internet from various areas around Peru. Trujillo, Lima and Piura are just some of the places that have been hit hard with this round of flooding. 

Prayer is powerful, and I know our Father in Heaven is watching over all of His children in Perú and throughout the world today and every day. He loves us. That is a universal truth that never changes, and in the midst of trials and tribulation, it is important we acknowledge all He does for us and pray for those who might need extra comfort to know they too are being watched over and are loved. 

He's working and serving hard

“Whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.”

Living quarters in Moche
It's a little cramped and a lot hot, but grateful to
have 4 walls of safety surrounding them.

The Elder's went to Salaverry on their P-day

They love being at their Pensionista's home

Since he can't currently hold human babies,
this baby kitten will do. 

Always with a smile.
