Hermanas that stayed with us from Jaen
September 7, 2015
Well, this week has been good.
Highlights...
Found a store that sells
"bombitas" a really thick churros with manjar blanco in the middle,
and it totally reminded me of a doughnut!! Forgot all about those... super
good, try not to eat too many haha.
We visited a convert family
and the aunt was there rubbing and egg all over the six year old girl to get
rid of the bad spirits because she had been frightened.... Peru. Sometimes it
is just hard to take the culture seriously.
But this week was good....
my companion is very quiet, but little by little we are learning to have
conversations and how to work and have fun together.
We have been finding lots
of people to teach and helping them learn more about the gospel. One lady we
are teaching is named Patricia, and we have a date for her to be baptized! She
has two little boys and lived in the states for a while, although she doesn’t
speak much English. But she has such a strong desire to learn, and the spirit
always just takes over the lessons when we go. Excited for her and hopefully
can help her keep progressing.
Besides that things are
going well. This week I have just learned a lot more about the power of prayer.
The power of the Holy Ghost, and the power of the atonement. That even when
things aren’t okay... they are! haha And the love that our heavenly father has
for each of us. So grateful for the good and bad times in the mission to learn
and grow.
Know that I love you all
and am thankful for your examples, hope you have a great week!
