Hola!!!
Well
this week has been a very interesting one and finally I have time to
write about what is going on here in this little part of Peru! First I
wanted to describe a little bit of my area. It´s flat.. there are no
hills! I finally reached the other side of the street! Haha.. but looks
like I shouldn´t have been too excited.. this side of the street is a
little richer. In a sense it´s kinda fun to see the houses a little more
decorated.. (my artsy side coming out, but..) on the other hand.. the
people are a little bit harder to teach.. They are a little colder than
those that live on the hill side.. Also we have an area that I am pretty
sure is empty.. Ok not really, but barely anyone is in the street
during the day! It really surprised me! Like you have seen our ward is
tiny.. we meet in a house.. but all is good because we are going to
reactivate the less actives so that our ward will be a lot more full on
Sundays! Now for my week..
Monday
was P day.. we didn´t do all that much.. played volleyball as a zone
and then my companion and I went to buy a few things we needed. Later we
went to visit a 16 year old girl and found her older sister who was
super interested, we didn´t have a lesson but we talked about the Book
of Mormon and she said she really wanted one to read because we caught
her attention with the history of it. Then we went to visit Alicia and
her two kids Fernando and Gaby. She is really sweet but she still
doesn´t want to come to church.. we talked about the Plan of Salvation
and I heard one of my favorite responses ¨I had no idea that we lived
with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ before coming here to the earth..
and that it was necesary for Adam and Eve to eat the fruit..etc.. Thank
you SO much for teaching me this.. wow!¨ Seriously so cool to see
reactions like that! Then we had a small family home evening with a
single mom in our ward and her two little kids.
Tuesday
we had our district meeting and I got to play the piano (it´s one of
the highlights of my week). Later we had a lesson with Josefa, a less
active-recent-convert... we are working on teaching her daughter
Brisvany as well and she is receptive, but not home very much.. bummer!
Later we had a lesson with a cute lady in our ward who also has a piano
in her house (lucky me.. except it´s really out of tune) and we helped
her with a little problem.. but great news: We helped to reactivate her
and her husband just came back from the U.S. and now they are preparing
to be sealed in the temple!! Wow I have never been more excited! I
really hope that I will be able to go to see it because they are really a
great older couple! Later we had a lesson with the mom and sister of a
recent convert, Edson. They are receptive as well, but I think his
sister faults a little bit of a push from him.. they are twins so should
be a little easier we hope!
Wednesday
was a pretty slow day because we had to do our weekly planning a day
early but we were able to go out and teach with Lizbeth (my convert from
my first area) which was super wonderful!! I also got a call and my
sister training leader said we were going to do a work visit on Thursday.. surprise!
Thursday
we at something super yummy that is called Pachamanka.. and then after
lunch I headed off to do a work visit in an area called Tungasuka and I
was able to get to know some great people there.. who knows maybe I´ll
get sent there next.
Friday
we visited Teolinda and Estanislao, they are a cute older couple we are
teaching from Ankash.. I think I told you all that they speak a
language called Chetuah.. (bad spelling). We also had a lesson that was
super spritual with the husband of a less active member and then when we
invited him to pray about Joseph Smith he just flat out said No.. the
Spirit left the room so fast.. I really hadn´t felt so bad after a
lesson.. Saturday and Sunday we found some new investigators and we are going to work with them this week!
Hope everything goes great this week for everyone! Love you all!
