Hello family,
Everything is going well. Another week down! Wow it is crazy how fast time is going
by. I am halfway though the transfer
with my companion Elder Agine. It is
going awesome; we are having a lot of success and fun. This week was an interesting week, a lot of
weird things happened by it was good.
Monday was a good day.
So on Monday we went to my old area in Hunter and ate with a family
there. It was really cool. We hung out with the missionaries there for a
little bit. Then we went back to our
area to get ready for family home evenings (Spanish version) that night. So we went on divisions and I went with one
member and my companion went with another member. It was really cool we visited with this family
and we talked about forgiveness (Spanish version) and how forgiveness is essential to be
happy. The Vega family is a really
awesome family and you can tell that they are happy.
On Tuesday we had a Zone Conference so that is when my companion
and I do a conference with the Zone on the things that we learn and experiences
that we had. It was cool and it went
well and we got to see a lot of Elders. We came back and ate lunch. Then we had a meeting with the Stake President
and Mission President and talked to them to see how we are doing and what we
can do better.
Wednesday was the longest day of my entire life. I went with an Elder that is having some
troubles on his mission. He is not doing
too hot and doesn’t want to be in Peru. So my companion went with his companion and he
came to my area with me. So it was a
very long day. He didn’t really want to
be with me. We got to teach a lot of
lessons. It was interesting to be able
to get to know people and see what they do.
We have a lot of success. We had a really cool lesson. So my Pensionista’s dad is not a member, his
name is Pablo. We went and taught him
for the first time and it was a really spiritual lesson. He is 84 and his wife passed away a year ago. We were sitting there and my Pensionista
started crying because she knows that they need to be sealed to be an eternal family (Spanish version). So we taught him and he is open
and ready to listen to us so that he can be sealed in the temple with his wife
and live with her forever. That is why
we are here on earth to make eternal families.
Then we ended divisions and my companion came back.
On Thursday we had a really awesome lesson with some less
actives. They haven’t gone to church in
10 years but we went and talked to them and they are ready to go. We will see where that goes. It was really cool.
On Friday we went up to Los Olivos and taught the family. It was amazing and they made pasta tardine,
it is like a noodle casserole thing. It
is really good. After eating we came
back and ate another lunch so we ate two lunches that day haha. We had a really cool lesson with some members
that night. It was a hard night and there
wasn’t a lot of people but it was good.
Saturday we helped a kid on a mission who is in the Ward
that we are in and is going on a mission in like three weeks. Here in Peru when you don’t have money you do
a thing called a pollata. You sell a
bunch of tickets and you make a bunch of fried chicken. So it is like a BBQ thing but it is a little
more expensive because it is about helping the kid. We helped him. They sold a ton of chicken, which was
cool. We came back and started our fast,
which was also cool. I love
fasting. We had an awesome lesson with a
lady named Julia. She was a contact that
we had. We went and started talking to
her and we found out that her son died.
We were able to share about the plan of salvation and that she can live
with her son again and that he is in the spirit world.
Sunday was good we had church. There was a bunch of people at church and it
was fast and testimony meeting. After I
went with a member on divisions named Carlos and he is a member that was
inactive and we helped him get rescued. My
companion went with another member. It
was really cool we got to visit some families and it was fun
Everything is going great. I am happy.
I got bit by a dog this morning walking back from the gym while walking
by this car and the dog came out of nowhere and just bit me in the ankle. Other that that it was good.
This week should be good we have a lot of lessons planned
and people to visit, which I am excited about.
Have a great week,
See you
