My comp rubbing in how giant I am haha
May 25, 2015
Haha... just have to start off by saying that I
LOVE PERU! This week has been so awesome and I’m so thankful for the chance to
be here serving.
I was pretty sick this
week... and one night I asked my comp what we ate that was killing me... and
she said, "Hermana Ivonne gave us a banana yesterday at night. Bananas are
cold foods so that probably made you sick! Have you ever eaten a banana at
night before?" laughing in my head I said "no... man that probably is
what did it!" hahaha... starting to see how living here your whole life
could be fun.
Also my comp said I was
sleep talking in Spanish and English... success on the language.
This week has been pretty
normal but still awesome. We have a family who are starting to progress and so
great. They have six kids and are MARRIED. Definitely prepared haha... but
kneeling and praying with them I just felt that they would be baptized. We’ll
do our best to fulfill the prompting haha...
There are a couple gringas
that live here and our teaching English. One day we contacted them and it was SO
HARD to share the gospel in English... she was super not interested and
the whole time after I felt bad for the missionaries in the states haha...
little harder.
Taught a couple very
blinded by the apostasy female priests this week which was exciting....
We have one investigator
named Wendy that has been attending church for over 6 months, and knows its
true, but we are struggling to get her to be baptized. I’ve never hated
albedrio so much... ugh agency. But its true, in telling these menos activos
and other people that really if they know its true they have to act... but
remembering that the reason I’m here is just to invite.
Also the bishop asked us to
visit an eight year old girl that was getting baptized on Sunday and we found
out that no one had done anything for the baptism.. so that was a little
stressful. I ended up speaking and doing a musical number, but it all turned
out.
All I know is I feel better
than I ever have before as a missionary. Although we aren’t seeing much
success.. I have really felt the joy of the gospel and the hope it brings. And
that if it’s true, nothing else really matters. Hope you all have a great week
and know how loved you are!
Nuevo Reque... where our investigator Wendy lives... humbling.
Visit to the beach again today... wind pipes haha... paradise.
