Ha!
Don`t worry. I`m not trunky, but we did have a wedding this week! Woo!
We have been working
with P and J, P is a member, J isn't. I think I told you about
them before. Well, they were married this last Wednesday and we got to go! Best
part was that we got to escape the mission :) They were married at the Plaza de
Armas right in the heart of Lima and it was so beautiful. J still doesn't
have a baptismal date because he can`t attend church yet for his job, but the
day after the wedding we had an awesome lesson with him and we talked about the
family, and the sacrifices we have to sometimes make so that our family can be
happy. He is praying to know if he should quit his job and look for another so
that he can come to church and progress towards being baptized. They are an
awesome family. Hey Em, you`ll like this. Their little girl is named Emily! And
P is pregnant with twins. She was less active, but is now coming to church
every week. I am grateful that we were able to be a part of this chapter in
their lives! I would love to see J be baptized, but we will see.
Let’s see, what
else.....
Our pensionistas dog bit
my companion this week. That was fun....
We met some awesome new
investigators this week. We are teaching E, who has 18 years, and is a
single mom. We have been teaching her outside of her house, right next to their
goat. I think he likes listening to us too. (.....ha ha...) And on Friday when
we were teaching her three cats got into a full on fight right above our heads
on their tin roof. It was a little scary. (Also, our house also has a tin roof,
and I sleep on the top bunk about 3 feet below the roof, and it is a pretty
common thing to be woken up in the middle of the night by cats fighting right
above my head. I usually wake up thinking it’s an earthquake or the end of the
world or something, but nope. Just the dumb cats again.) Sorry, where was I? Oh
yeah. E came to a Relief Society activity with us on Saturday and stayed
afterwards for the baptism the Elders had. So that was awesome :)
E. didn`t come to
church this week again :( He went out with his friends so that was pretty
disappointing. But oh well. We just keep working hard :)
Well. I guess it’s time
to go. Talk to you next week!
Les amo mucho!
