Hola
todos!
So, the first thing I have to say today is that Internet in Peru
is not the quickest, or the most reliable! And even worse when the church
program doesn't work!
Anyway! We are doing just dandy here in Montenegro 4! We are so
high up that the climate literally has changed! We get rain every once in a
while, not too much, but enough! It is not too hot, but everyone gets a little
sweaty here! It really changes with a gate that leads into this other
province!
I forgot everything I have said, so If I repeat I am sorry...
We have a member who cooks for us! Almost whatever we want, we
end up getting! She loves to bake, try new things, and is such a sweet, amazing
lady! She is also mega strict, and has a heart attack every time we do
something! She is always stressed out! When we wash the dishes after lunch, she
watches us, and if we turn the water on too much she shouts, if we don't turn
it off while we are scrubbing, she shouts! If we throw away any scrap of food,
it's the scariest thing! haha! She is so sweet, but with a random shouty
stressed out face after! And she is so specific! Everything HAS to be in order!
She doesn't let me put salt on my food, because she says I use too much, and
won't let my companion drink anything with Ice because he was a little sick,
and the ice will kill him! (Or at least that’s how she explained it!)
We have a lot of investigators, and always have references
for more and more people! Again, it is hard to talk about the people we are
teaching, because we don't know if they are going to progress or not... but we
did find a family with a son they never baptized! They have been active up
until this last year, and it was because they couldn't find the church, but
have been coming now with Caesar! He is 9 years old but is so tiny it is so
funny! He is great! And he understands everything! So we are all good to go
with his baptism this 27th!
We are also teaching a niece of a member here! Her family is not
members, but she loves to listen to us! Her name is Yaquibel, but everyone calls
her yaqui! Which is just Jakie! haha! She has a ton of questions, and is
progressing really really fast! We are planning her baptism for this 3rd of February!
We were a little sick a few weeks ago, but now all of that has
passed! We are totally ready to move forward and find new people!
My Companion is from Chimbote Peru, which is a fishing town! But
he is from the city part... It is really funny because every person that hears
Chimbote says "Oh! I went by Chimbote, it smells like fish really really
bad, right?" Everyone knows that it just smells like fish! He says the
Civiche there is the best in the world! And it makes sense! So I better drop by
his house one day!
The mission is fantastic! And I will never stop saying that! it
is such an amazing experience, that you can never take back! To see the change
in people, even if they don't get baptized, its wonderful! And to see how happy
the members are to have the missionaries in their house is amazing!
Thank you for reading!
Hasta Luego!
Hasta Luego!
