8/24/2011 post from Karen in Peru

Hey FAmily! We just got back from a small tour of Peru. Where we got to go out and do some shopping, see the ocean, and see some cathidrails. It was awesome. I got a sweet beenie for 4 bucks that says Peru on it....be jealous haha jk This week has been wonderful as usual. It sounds like you all had fun in the valley with mom and dad. Lots of new things have happened here at the mtc. We got a new MTC president because the old one, president whetten, got sick and isnt able to serve anymore. The new ones name is president cavanaugh. Its nice to get some guidance again. We havent had a president here every since we got here. Yesterday our latino companions went out into the field. That means I only have three more weeks in the MTC. Crazy! We got to go proselyting again. It was wonderful and I learned alot. It was neat because we taught this one lady that we came across that was an inactive member. It was good because we got her to pray. She had such a sweet spirit. The spirit was so strong in her little home when she started saying her prayer. She thanked Heavenly Father for her life and for the church.  Afterwards she said she was going to go to church the next day. Another thing that was cool this week is that I got to see the elders in my district give a blessing. The priesthood is so powerful. It reminded of when dad and spencer gave me a priesthood blessing before I came to the mission. Oh yeah! Also tonight Elder Oaks is coming to the Peru MTC. I am super excited. Sorry this letter will be a little short. I love all of you very much. Know that everything is good here. I want to hear from all of you. Also I want to see some pictures of little Bridges-Please:) and thank you! Hermana Wilhelm Ps mom and dad can you update me Address on facebook. My mission address Misión Ecuador Quito-Calle Robles 640 y Amazonas- Quito -Ecuador. Ok Talk to youll later!
