Hola!
I don't have much to say this week because I'm in shock that
it's already been another week!
We had a baptism on Saturday for Maria. Ella es
"de oro." I can't remember if I talked about her in last week's
letter but she just showed up to church one day, We taught her the first lesson
that thursday, and she got baptized 10 days later! She is so sweet and bore her
testimony after the service, it was really powerful. She actually served
a mission for her Christian church a few years back, so she is very strong
strong in her knowledge and testimony of the Savior. She is super tiny
and we felt bad because the water in the font was freeeeeeezinnggg. She
was just shivering the entire time and for like 20 minutes after she was in her
dry clothes. But she got baptized! Then on sunday she arrived at church
pretty late and we were freaking out because she needed to be confirmed but she
got there and got confirmed as well! Hooray!
Starting today, we switched our areas with the other
Hermanas in our ward. There are 4 urb's in our ward and before we had
Previ and Condevilla, but now we have Previ and Condor and the other Hermanas
have Condevilla, More efficient that way, but sad because we had to hand
over all our investigators from Condevilla, and there aren't a lot of really
progressing investigators in Condor. It's all good though, we're excited
to get to know that part of town and do work there.
It's starting to warm up here a little bit, which is fine
but it never really was super cold. It's funny here because people are
always talking about how freezing it is but it's really only like 50s. It gets
cold in the mornings because there are no heaters or anything and only hot water
sometimes, but it's all good.
We got a new bishop in our ward this week and he is super
awesome. Our other bishop was really great too but he had really bad
experiences with past missionaries who were extremely disobedient and caused a
lot of problems. So it was hard for him to trust missionaries. But
now we have Bishop Mocarro and He LOVES missionary work which is great
for us. His two missions for the ward are to improve the missionary work
and the focus on the family. He's great.
The Food continues to be awesome here. Our pensionista
is the best. She taught us last week how to make chocotejas which are
little chocolates and delicious.
Life is awesome here. I love Peru and the people and
the food and my companion and the mission!
Love you tons! :)
THE CHURCH IS TRUE.
