Hello!

This week was just dandy!!

We found a lot more investigators this week! Especially since we only had 2 last week... but 11 is a much better number. We have a lot of new people, but not a lot that want to progress.

One of our investigators is Ana, whose real name is Gabriella. (I only sing high school musical sometimes in her house under my breath!) But she is fantastic! She is a reference from Mama Luz, who owns our house we live in. Mama Luz is not a member, but helps teach our lessons! Ana is very interested in all of what we have to say, and really wants to be baptized! 

We have 3 Teenagers who I feel are going to be baptized! One is a brother of an Inactive member, and he loves church on Sunday! Edu! Funny little 11 year old kid! The other two are brothers, Marcos and Shandu! Shandu really wants to be baptized, and Marcos only half listens, but with time, he will be great! 

We may find 11 people in a week, but a lot of them don't stick with us. They have testimonies, they know that everything is true, but they don't want to work for something better in their lives. They don't do the little things every day. If the people would read with real intent, and wanting change in their lives, it would be a different story! If you would pray every morning, every night, before meals, when you need to, but with a desire, and with intent, you can have a better life! Members of our church, other churches, less active, investigator…it doesn't matter! To pray and read the scriptures is so so important, and there is always time! You just need to find it!

Anyway! This week we ate some chicken, a little rice, a little potato, Some Inca cola… The usual!  I did have alphabet soup! That changed some things up! Inca cola is fantastic, I could drink it for the rest of my life. The fruit from the Jungle is fantastic! Some pure coconut, oranges, everything! I haven't been sick, still doing good with that!

This week was just working hard, finding references with people, contacting, and doing everything I could! We also went on splits. I went with Elder Souza from California, and we went to every appointment we had set, but did not teach one lesson! Haha! It was a day filled with only contacts, and no one was home. It was pretty funny, but we did contact, and found opportunities to serve. It was weird to talk in English! We had a great time.

I realized the other day how much I understand Spanish! I don't understand everything, but it’s crazy to look at what I know. I can follow a conversation, and now I can actually give input! It’s kind of easy also when your entire life turns into Spanish!

That was my week! Thank you guys for everything!

Love,

The Peruvian Census

This week was fantastic!  We have been working really hard with all of our Fechas! (People with a baptism Date) We have Shandu and Shande, who are really ready! We have been teaching them as much as we can and today they are going to have their interviews! Shandu is only 12, but has the most amazing little spirit! And Shande is 14, and would rather play futbol, but has now learned the importance of the gospel! The two brothers are excited! We are having a problem teaching their sister, Sasha. She is just having a hard, teenage life! Haha! But is 16, and we are trying for the 11th of November to have her baptized! And you can't forget about Edu! I haven't NOT received a hug every time I see him! He is so awesome, and his parents, Rosa and Raúl, were able to go to church yesterday!  The reason that Rosa and Raúl went is because we had church at 6 PM. That is because we had El Censo de Peru! For the Census, everyone had to stay in their house fro...

Que Pasa?

Hola Amigos! Como van todo? So this week was just dandy! I have been working hard, and learning a lot! For P-Day last week, we went to a park down in Metro! It was fun, we cooked hamburgers, played some Futbol, some frisbee, talked, and just had a good time! We have new people from this last transfer, and the new gringos! Its funny how Amazing they think I am, and then they realize I only have 6 weeks on them! haha! They are also from the Mexico MTC! They are fun, but I still like my group! Anyway! We had a baptism this week! Gabriela Diego! She is so wonderful, and it was a special day! Then yesterday, she was only 20 min. late to go to her confirmation! haha! That was kind of funny! But it all worked out! We were able to see her transformation, and her desire to rely on Christ. I went on a Work Transfer, or exchanges with Elder Seymour. He is one of the new Americans from Indiana! This meant we had to teach with my little experience, and his less experience! It was p...
