Happy Monday
everyone!! Today is the big day.. transfers.. to be honest I`m pretty
nervous.. my next month and a half of the mission are all weighing on
today.. Haha ok really I know that the Lord will send me where he needs
me most. Next week I`ll be letting you know in what part of beautiful
Peru I will be in!
This week has really been a good one, we were able to
reach our goal of 40 lessons again and we`ve found a lot of great people
to teach! Monday
we went to Hermana Jenny`s house and made french toast.. super yummy!
Later we had family home evening with the Relief Society President and
her family which was really nice. Tuesday
was one of our slower days this week but we were able to find a new boy
Victor who is 14. We also talked with Jhon, he´s been struggling with
some family problems, but doesn´t want to talk to us much about them,
but the good thing is that he is coming with us to teach lessons and I
really think that will help him a lot. We also were able to teach
Fatima, a less active 24 year old young woman and her family bought
pizza for us.. mmm good day!
Wednesday
was a really long but really good day! We first went to a reference of a
less active young man and were able to teach him, his mom, and his
cousins which was really cool. Later we had a lesson with another new
young girl who is 14. We tought a lesson in the street to an older man
who was really interested in the Plan of Salvation, but we haven`t been
able to find him again since then...we´ll keep trying this week. We then
found an older man, Rigoberto. His wife passed away about a year and a
half ago and we were able to teach him about the plan of salvation. We
have another lesson with him later today. We then talked to Cesar and
Paola about tithing and they were super receptive and said that they
were willing to live the commandment. Great way to end the day!
Thursday
we talked with Kevin (the less active young man) and his mom again and
she accepted baptism! Too bad there is the problem again of marriage..
darn it! We had some other lessons and then to finish off the day we
found our golden investigator! Vladimir is 22 his grandma is a member.
He has decided to turn his life around and was SO receptive to the
gospel. He is a great young man and while we were sitting there teaching
him I could only picture him with his missionary plaque (sp?) teaching
the gospel to others. He committed to pray about Joseph Smith and we
left feeling really great!
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday..
Sorry sometimes I lose track of time and am going to have to blur the
days together. We had another lesson with Vladimir and he told us about
his experience with prayer. He said he felt really calm and at peace
when he prayed and believes that it was an answer from God. We talked to
him about the Book of Mormon and he was really excited to read it...
the next day when we visited him he had read all of the first
introduction pages and was fascinated with the Angel Moroni. I really
think he is going to be such a strong member in the church. I am so glad
I have gotten to know him. We also had some great lessons with Cesar
and Paola. Especially Sunday
night when we were able to talk about keeping the Sabbath day holy and I
had one of the most magnificant feelings. As I was speaking I really
felt the Spirit take control.. I felt like all the words coming out of
my mouth were what Cesar needed to hear and it was a really spiritual
moment that I will never forget. He committed to keep the Sabbath day
holy and come to church every week. I am praying that he will remember
the feelings he had and keep his word. We also had a really powerful
lesson with Holger and Jessenia, and to my surprise when Sunday
morning came, Holger came to church! It was the first time he came in
the three months we have been teaching him and I really have never been
happier!
Sunday
I also was given the opportunity to bare my testimony. I shared my love
for the family that brought Dad´s family the gospel and shared as well
his written testimony. This week I really feel like the Spirit has been
able to work through me and I have never been more grateful for the
opportunities the Lord has given me to be an instrument in His hands.
Have a great week everyone!
Hermana Imbler
