Que mas?

Como estan todos?

So this week was crazy! I don't know if I talked about the Noche De Colores activity we were going to have this last Saturday, but its all good…because we didn't have it! It was fast Sunday, since we have stake conference next Sunday…but before the activity we were going to have the baptism of 3 investigators! The problem with that was we only had 1 come, Edu! He is such a fantastic little kid, and is going to be so awesome! He shared his little testimony and it was the best!

However… Shandu and Shande did not come. The two brothers who we have been working really hard with, just didn't go! We still have not found them, and want to know what happened. We do know that their mom and sister Sasha are lying to us. It was obvious when I saw Shandu in the window of one of the 3 houses they are always in, even though they said no one was home! Anyway, we can't find them, but will try and figure that out! Defiantly a trial of faith! But more of a trial of patience! Haha!

We have been walking like crazy! We have so many houses, and a lot of potential baptisms coming up for this next month, and hopefully Shandu and Shande are two of those!

We have been eating everything lately! We don't go hungry until Sundays! We have been doing a lot of fasting then! haha!  Still a lot of Potatoes! haha! I would say I DON’T have potatoes maybe only once every two weeks! They always slip them in! It’s awesome! Lomo Saltado... Lo maximo!!

I really love to read in Doctrine and Covenants! I have done a little reading in all of the scriptures, and its really interesting! The old testament is funny! If you want to feel good about the number of commandments we have to follow verses the law of Moses….Wow! Poor guys! 

One interesting thing is there are so many Testigos de Jehova, (Jehovas witness) here... They are everywhere! It’s funny because everyone thinks we are testigos!  We have only had the opportunity to talk to 3 groups of theirs. The Elders here like to try and prove something to them, and it is funny, but not productive at all! Crazy Elders... 

It’s fantastic here! Not much going on that is new! 

Thanks for reading!

No Time

Elder Ball didn't have very much time to email today.  They changed a form that they need to do their reports on, and it took him a lot longer than expected to get through it. But! I have pictures! He is doing great! He loves his companion, they are working hard, and he is very excited that it is December!  Lot's of service projects this month and he is looking forward to that! He is headed to the hospital today so they can (hopefully) remove some warts that have grown on his hands while there.  He has tried about everything to get them gone... He first showed them to me on MOTHERS DAY so, I think it's time they get taken care of! He is happy!  And that makes ME happy. 

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 h...

Mini-Misión

Hola Todos! This week we just finished it off with a baptism! Jorge Sifuentes! He is super awesome! He is willing to help out everyone! I’ts the cousin of Lesly, who was baptized over a month ago! We didn't have water in our ward, so we went to the other ward! It was all smooth, and as usual, we were an hour late! Peruvian time! It was great even though our ward mission leader is new, and starts to organize a million things at the same time - it all went pretty smoothly! We have a new leader, bishop, and elders quorum president! So we are going to try and use that more in our area!  This week we also did an awesome activity with the ward San Felipe! All of the youth got together Friday night and did a mini CCM and Saturday they left with us 2 by 2. We went and visited as normal, and the two kids we were with were super cool! We went with Miguel and Joseph! We contacted, asked for references, and it was super fun! They are only 14 and 12, but supe...
