Hey y'all!
Well
this week has been crazy! After emailing, we went right back to work. We
proselyted and taught because on Tuesday we had a mundialito with the whole
mission!
So Tuesday was our PDAY. On Tuesday, from 8 am to 2 pm we played
futbol. Each zone was a team and we each got our own jerseys. Tahua (my zone)
got 3rd place... I think, I'm not really sure. :) But it was a ton of fun! I
met the whole mission... which isn't a ton, as you can see from the picture
it's only like 250 or so. Anyway, the sun was out and we all got super
sunburnt, I mean, really sunburnt. I look like I have a disease right now
because I’m peeling, but oh well, it was a ton of fun! :)
Team Tahua (my zone) |
After futbol we came back and got ready for proselyting. We had dinner with Percy and Lilli (picture). We had papa johns! So yummy!
Satanas y Jesucristo. guess which is which :) |
Best chicken and arroz and papas fritas ever! with... guess... BEETS!!! |
And finally a Peruvian who is taller than me!! ;) |
Wednesday
we had a special conference with presidente about the promises of the Book of Mormon
and how its super important to be direct with your investigators.
Mayra with me and my comp |
The
rest of the week was pretty normal so I’ll just tell stories... :) Mayra is
getting baptized on the 28th of this month. We found Josue! After two weeks of looking,
we found him and we talked with him. He's been SUPER busy and hasn't been able
to talk to us but we got another appointment with him and hopefully he'll be
there. Two cool experiences... 1. One day we were teaching one of our other
investigators and she was saying the closing prayer and in my head I asked
Heavenly Father to bless her, and I heard back, you need to pray for her. I
realized at that moment that I wasn't praying for her specifically!! SO, I’ve
started praying for her. Second... I was reading in the bible and was thinking,
if I were living in the time of Jesus would I believe in Him? And the thought
came to my head... You are believing without seeing. Just two cool experiences
that I had.
We're
also teaching this family, they aren't married but they've been together for 12
years. They're pretty great! Anyway that's it for now. The language is fine, I
can finally understand but I still can't speak. Anyway, thank you so much for
all the prayers and yeah! Love y’all!
