Hola hola!
Happy Peru independence day! Today and tomorrow are
holiday's of Peru's independence AKA there are lot of parties and no one is
going to let us in their house and lots of virgin parades in the streets. Fun
times! But I learned the Peru National Hymn and today have my little Peruvian
pin so I feel like a real Peruvian. Today our district is going to celebrate by
making mexican food, (don't ask me why) but yeah so stay tuned for how these
couple of days go!
This week was great and life is good and I'm just super
happy!
Neil got baptized this week! Woo! We were a little worried
because he had some doubts and didn't want to stop drinking coffee but we had a
good powerful lesson with him and he decided to get baptized and got baptized
and confirmed! His son however, still doesn't want to but we are working with
him and praying for him. It was pretty cool how we found them last month.
We just knocked their door and turns out that Cecilia, the wife of Neil,
got baptized when she was about 15 but had moved and such and the church
couldn't ever find her but now we did and are working with their family so they
can ALL get baptized and sealed!
This week we had to travel to Lima again which is always
interesting in the 4 hours on a bus with some type of action or horror movie
playing haha but we went because I had to do some final paperwork and... drum
roll please.... after a year and a half from when I submitted my papers and a
year in Peru, I'm legal! Woo! My visa went through and I even have a little
card with my picture on it. I'm excited.
We got word that Elder Anderson of the 12 is coming to Peru
and giving a conference to just our mission in the end of August, so that's
exciting! Bad news, we're so far from Lima that we probably won't be able to go
down. We are praying and thinking of different options so that we can,
I'm not going to lose the Faith! :)
Sad to hear that the Jones family is leaving Joplin after a
solid decade, but it'll be good to move on to new things. Good luck with
the move!
Life is good and the church is true. Have a great week!
Love, Hermana Jones
