Hola Mi Familia y Mis Amigos!!
Espero que todos han pasada una semana muy buena! My week was a bit of a roller coaster, but a good one! Here is what happened...
- Monday night that Lord gave Hna. Apeña and I a little miracle. We where knocking on doors, talking to tons of people, when a young lady opened the door. Probably about 27 or so and really well put together, so I was worried that she wouldnt listen to a word we said. But it was the contrary. We talked about our families and asked her about hers and she wanted to hear more. She let us in and we were able to visit with her and her partner (they arent married) and their two year old daughter. They are passing through some rough times as a new family, only 3 months living together and they want to find something better. The Spirit filled the room as we talked about Joseph Smith and his desire to find the truth. They are super intererested! We planned antoher appointment and as Hna. Apeña and I left, we both agreed that we could easily see them in white in the temple! .:)
- Tuesday we were able to teach our progressing investigator Hna. Tatiani. She is facing lots of struggles right now, and we are working hard to help her feel the Spirit and make these important decisions in her life. We talked a lot about the need to read the scriptures and then we began with the PLan of Salvation. We are going slow to make sure she understands. Please pray for her and her cute four year old little boy Adriano!
- Wednesday I went on Intercambios with Hna. Huanca in Sechura! We had a great time! Our main focus ended up being there investigator named Araceli. We taught her Wednesday afternoon and then Thursday morning we went and back and did some service, helping her close up her house from the strong Sechuran wind. We also cooked there in her home and ate with her and her cute 9 year old daughter Ashley (so named for Ashley Simpson LOL!)
- Thursday we had an amazingly spiritual lesson with Hna. Sulema, the little sister of a YSA member who is now taking the lessons. We talked about the Spirit and how it works as well as the Restoration and prayer. Sulema truly wants to fnd the truth. In her closing prayer, she even asked the Lord to help her find the peace and joy she seeks!! :)
- Friday night we had our weekly Noche Misional and this weeks activity wasa nother sports one. As always, the main Peruvian sports, Soccer and Volleyball. However, they always start with soccer and it always gets to late for me to be able to play volley...But ya thats ok. This time, Hna. Apeña and I went for it and played soccer in our skirts!! LOL it was super silly and fun and our team won!! :)
- Saturday we went and shared an FHE with the f. Pascual Chero. They are passing through some rough moments and the mom, Hna. Sabina asked us to come and help them a bit. Our lesson was on how to be a happy, successful family. We found an awesome chapter in Galatians that gives us many good points on how to keep good relationships. Galatians 5! Go read it!! :)
- We had 5 investigators at church yesterday and 3 were new people brought by members! I love when the members are sharing the Gospel and inviting their friends to learn about Christ! :)
- Today, Hna. Apeña and I enjoyed a chill tourist day and went to a touristic town called Catacaos to looked at all the cool souvenirs. I bought myself a new shoulder bag, something smaller and less attention grabbing. It is purple and cute!! :) LOL then we went to that same awesome restaurant we went to at the beginning of the transfer and this time I brought my camara, however, I havent been able to pass the photos from my SD card to my USB, so you will all have to wait until next week to see the good stuff! Sorry!
Well, that was my week! I am so grateful for each and every one of you! You all keep me going, and please know that I pray for you all every day! :) Keep on keeping on! :) Hasta la próxima semana!!
