Hola!
Well Hermana Leyva got extended a few days so she will be
here until this saturday, but we have transfers tomorrow so I think I'll be
getting my new companion tomorrow, not really sure. This week was super sad
because it was her last week! Hermana Leyva is the best. Not sure what
I'm going to do without her, I guess I'll just keep working. But it's
okay because I'll be seeing her at BYU. :)
So we had a crazy week because we had to travel down to Lima
for the going away party thing they do for the missionaries that leave.
They go to the temple, eat at a fancy restaurant, have a little training
and I don't really know what else but it sounded pretty fun! Well unfortunately
I didn't get to participate, instead I went to the area of the companion of
another sister that was going home and worked in her area haha. It was
still good though. They finished at like midnight so we went and stayed
with hermanas and then traveled up to Barranca with President adn Sister
Archibald because they were going up.
In these last few months President has been saying that if a
Zone reaches their monthly baptism goal, he will buy them pizza and teach them
deep doctrine. Well the month of July our zone met our goal! the first
zone to meet their goal in almost a year. So as promised, he came up and
we all ate pizza and he taught us deep doctrine for like 5 hours. It was
awesome. Plus we got to be in the car with him for three hours going up so I
got all my questions out.
On Friday we visited Jose Pablo, Neil's son, because we had
wanted him to get baptized on saturday but we were gone for a couple of days
and couldn't visit him. We asked if he had been reading and said a little
bit, but said he had prayed and said, "I felt like something in my chest
that I can't really describe, it was just like a happiness." and before we
could say anything he said, "so I would like to get baptized tomorrow if that's
okay. " Uh, yeah, that's okay! He had already had all the lessons and it
was a tender mercy for Hermana Leyva to have her last baptism. That whole
family is a miracle and now they are complete. We found out that Cecilia got
baptized 33 years ago, and the Lord led us to her house now less active married
to a non member and with a son. We were able to search and find her
church records and now her son and baptized. What a miracle! They are
awesome. Somethign I didn't know, Priests can give the priesthood to
deacons. So we are going to have Neil give the priesthood to his son.
Life is good. I'll update you next week on my
companion and everything. Have a great week, love you!
Hermana Jones
