I just can´t even explain. This week was hardish as usual but THE BEST WEEK EVER!!!!!!! I will be sending just toooooooooons of photos of the adventurous pday that we had today but agh seriously sooooo great.
So first of all, AGGH I am so dang glad you got to meet
david and lisseth! i miss them! We never go over by there house anymore
because them and david´s mom aren´t there but I´m really missing my
peruvian culture! Them and hna altamirano like dissapeared from my life
at the same time and its wierding me out not eating peruvian food and
talking with them and everything but agh i hope everything is going
soooooo well for them!
Anyway where to
start!? well the shift button isn´t working so well so im sorry if I
don´t have a lot of capital letters and stuff haha.
So this week we got a call from one of our
investigators Abraham who we thought had switched apartments but it
turns out that no he didn´t so he is still in our sector (he was the one
that I said was a little creepy but its a lot better now) so we began
teaching him again and we just weren´t sure if he was progressing just
because i was there or because he for reals wanted to progress, so one
of the days we did divisions and hna nuñez went with my comp and it
turns out that things went well, then next time we went we were like...
ok so i think he has a testimony? but he is just interesting and so hard
to explain so we weren´t sure if we should just let him get baptized
now (because he reads the book of mormon, keeps his commitments and has
been to the church 4 times) or if we should wait till we know he legit
has a testimony and isn´t just kind of creepy. So my comp was like, hey
lets call hna wright and see if she wants to come with us to the lesson
and see! So we called her and she was like "yeah its me and president
wrights date night but we will come after dinner!" So they came to our
lesson and it was AWESOME. not a single creepy or wierd comment from
abraham. he was just fine with keeping the word of wisdom and president
Wright asked him a lot about his testimony and it was really cool
because we could see that even if Abraham is a super hard person to read
he really is changing and progressing and everything! so we set a new
baptismal date for next sunday... turns out he might be getting surgery
that day so it might be saturday... kinda crazy because this baptism
just popped out of nowhere but we are super excited for him! after our
lesson with president he was like, "i think you guys need dessert" ....
FINE WITH ME. so we were thinking buy a postre at walmart or somethin
but he took us to a fancy restaurant and it turns out that you cant just
buy a dessert there, so we all ordered food and talked and it was super
great! But even better was that later as we were leaving they were
talking about San jose de Maipo which is the campo part of our sector in
the mountains bordering argentina and my comp was saying that she
always wanted to go but never could because it is several hours driving
and stuff... so president and hna wright looked at each other and were
like "wanna go monday? We will take you!".....OF COURSE WE WANT TO
GO!!!!! So all of these pics i´m sending are of our adventures. We were
driving for HOURS. but it was soooooooooo pretty and sooooo amazing to
get out of the city!!! we had a blast and it was fun to just have a day
to do something fun instead of just sleep all pday or organize things!
Also this week we did pretty bad as far as numbers
go.... like kinda horrible. but at the end of each day I felt SO GOOD.
Because even though it was like... man we were supposed to have at least
done 20 contacts and we did .....3 each one was serving someone. We
helped an immigrant lady lug her heavy broken suitcase for a half hour
till she got to the immigrant office, and we helped people carry their
groceries, etc. So even though the numbers didn´t show it each day was
full of service. be it decorating for a birthday, visiting older lonely
people, playing with the crying baby (without picking it up) so the mom
can organize the house without having to be holding him every second
etc. It was such a great week. Seriously i have just been soooo happy.
Walking around my sector just feeling like FINALLY I am enjoying what i
am doing every second. like I will continue to have ups and downs but
idk.... i just had a whole week of ups. and it rocked. Anyway. Sorry I
got this to you a little late, we got back late from san jose....cuz
president took us out to eat..... but he gave us permission!....
Well I have to go now but I love you all!!
Chau!
