Hola Mi Familia y Mis Amigos!
How is everyone this week? My week here was pretty good. Heres what happened here in Perú!
- Tuesday it rained! LOL that may not seem like something bitg, but it doesnt rain here in Piura. It rained a bunch! People were all very unhappy that day LOL. Hna. Lucy had agreed to accompny us on our appointments, but she didnt want to leave her house in the rain LOL we had to convince her to leave the secuirty of her house.
- Tuesday afternoon, we had an appointment with a younger guy named Nine. When he let us in, his four friends joined us in the lesson! LOL we were excited to teach so many people. And then, they all really felt something. Each one of them accepted baptism and another visit! A littele miracle that came from just one person! Their names are Nine, Jorge, Hector, and Bryan.
- Also on Tuesday, we held our first English class at the church in the evening. There werent a whole lot of people, but we did get a few. LOL I feel so weird teaching English...I guess I will get used to it!
- Wed we had Intercambios with the Hna.s in Sechura, a little beachside town about an hour and half away. I went there with Hna. Ortiz. We had a good time! LOL Hna. Ortiz is definitely one of my good friends here in the mission. We found a whole family while knocking on doors! They were so ready to hear the message, the dad most of all! It was such a cool experience!
- Thursday, Hna. Carrera and I went to our first visit with a Young Woman that came to church last week. Her name is Nicol an she i only 14, but she understands and really wants to join the church. She made the comment that she felt something so different the church when she came, something happy and peaceful that she had never felt before. That is truly what we share with people, happiness, peace, hope. I love that I have this opportunity to share these wonderful blessings! Nicol is already progressing so well and she has a bapismal date for Mrch 26h.
- Thursday we also did Indexing with one of our Recent Converts, Hno. Joel. I love Indexing! I didnt want to leave! :) Do some indexing, people! Save some souls!
- Friday, Bishop Cordova and Hna. Lucy accompanied us. it was the first time that I went proselyting with a couple, and it was so fun LOL! We lauhghd a ton, and the time just flew by.
- Friday we had a lesson with an Hno. that was being taught by the Elders before, and came to church to find us,and really want to be bptized. He was like a glden investigatr. But we learned one of the reasons he wants to be a member is to find a wife LOL and she is really well educated so he is hard to teach...But we are working with him to help him feel the Spirit.
- Saturday we taught a lesson with 3 sisters and their littles kids. At first, it was hard because they were super distracted with the kids. But as we taught, I felt the Spirit kind of slowly fill the room. The kids got quieter, the ladies paid better attention, and in the end the lady that offered the prayer really felt something special, I could see it in her eyes. Tht was a little testament to me of the real power of the Holy Ghost and this message. This is the truth!
- Yesterday the other ward the uses our chapel had their ward conference, so our ward had a weird schedule. We had our meetings at 3 PM! So Hn. Carrera and I had a morning as if it was any other day! We went and visited a less active and then a recent convert in the morning. The recent Convert is names Arturo and he is about 50 years old. He is so awesome! So funny and loves tehis Gospel. We taught about Family Hisotry work and he truly understands the importance and want to find all the dates for his parents and grandparents and everyne! After the lesson, he said he ws going to give us Ceviche de Pota, which is so good! We thought he was kiding, but no here had really made Ceviche de Pota for us! His son had also made us a full on lunch with rice and chicken and everything! LOL It was so silly and fun! LOL but right afterwqard, Hna. Carrera and I had oto edn over the a less active members house for our scheduled lunch appointment....two lunches! LOL I was soooooo fulll...
- Recently, I have been working more and more on my lack of patience...Something I rad in Preach my Gospel is that ´patience is the ability to do the will of the Lord and acept things in His time.´ also a few relly good scriptures I wanted to share are in Mosiah 23:21-22, Romans 5:3-5, and Psalms 46:10. Some really good scriptures that I think w can all benefit from!
Well, thats about it! A good week! So many little blesings, blessing here and blessing at home. Estoy tan agradecida por mi Salvador y su amor a mi, especialmente en los momentos más difíciles. Él está con nosotros, siempre. Mientras todos los desafíos, Él está con nosotros Él siemptre van a cargarnos y protegernos. Yo le amo a mi Salvador! :)
Cuídense! Hasta la próxima semana!!
