Hola
a todos!
So, it’s been an
interesting week. Remember how I told you about our family? Well, we got all
the way to the center of Lima, waited in line for a long time and started the
process when they informed us that something was wrong with their birth
certificates and that they wouldn`t be able to sign them up for that wedding.
:( BUT they gave us other options and we haven`t given up hope. We are waiting
for one more paper and then hopefully this week we will be able to get
everything taken care of so that we can get this family married and baptized!
They are so wonderful. I absolutely love teaching them. We had two awesome
lessons with them this week, and my favorite was when we taught the plan of
salvation. The spirit was SO strong, and Raul said afterwards, wow, I feel so
much peace knowing this. I love teaching them because they always take notes on
everything we say, and then they come up with their own conclusions (for
example, when we talked about Adam and Eve he sat there thinking for a moment
and said, So it was necessary for them to partake of the fruit, and it was all
part of Gods plan.. YES! That’s exactly what we were getting at!) So we are not
giving up hope, I know that everything will work out how it should.
Something SUPER exciting
is that my Mommy (in the mission) Hna Mamani is here in Lima right now! She
came up from Arequipa to visit me and Hna Schroader before we finish the
mission. And I talked to her this morning and will be seeing her in about....15
minutes. EEE!!! I am so excited.
I`m sorry, I didn`t
leave myself a lot of time to write today, so that’s all for now, but I am
doing really good, I still don`t feel like I`ll be home in one month. But its
coming quickly! I am just trying to focus and work as hard as I can and enjoy
every minute.
I hope ya`ll have a
wonderful week!
