Happy
4th of July 3 days late!! And happy birthday Justin!!! This week has
been crazy.. and as you can see by the new title I got transferred!!!
I´m now here in the Bayovar ward in Manolias stake.. in San Juan de
Lurigancho!! I finally came to the other side of the mountain!! Haha! My
new companion is Hermana Zarate from Huancayo Peru! She is wonderful
and we have been working hard here this week! I was called on Tuesday in
transfers to be a sister training leader... we are in charge (I guess
that would be the right word) of 5 companioships of sisters. We do work
visits and help them to reach their potential as missionaries.. I feel
very humbled and grateful for this opportunity to serve and hope that by
doing so I can become more Christlike.. I feel like I have some big
shoes to fill, but I know my Heavenly Father has something he wants me
to learn and will help me along the way!
Monday I said goodbye to Sol del Pinar.. it was really
sad to have to say goodbye to Karina.. we both cried and hugged for a
while... And then on Tuesday it was transfer day! We got my bags all
packed and headed to the offices... There I waited very impatiently to
know where I would be headed.. President said ¨And the sister training
leaders in Bayovar 2 will be Hermana Imbler with Hermana Zárate!¨ I was
so so sooo surprised.. but also excited.. We headed to the other side of
the mountain.. in San Juan de Lurigancho (if you look it up I`m sure
you will find many pictures.. and also the prison. haha). We headed out
to start working and had some really great lessons.
On Wednesday we had a council meeting with President
Erickson, his wife, the assistents, the zone leaders, and the other
sister training leaders. It was super interesting to be a part of and we
talk about the mission and how we can further the work here in Lima
North. On our way we got on a bus that took a bad road.. we got stuck in
traffic and about 10 police officers showed up... the guy who collects
the money was yelled at by the driver and told to hide.. super scary..
so my companion and I got off and started to look for a taxi. After
about 10 minutes without success I saw the same bus and so we ran to get
on.. We ended up being late to the meeting.. how embarassing, but it
was a funny story to tell. Later we had more lessons (sorry I`m not very
detailed in the lessons.. I forgot my agenda that had everything
written...oops!)
Thursday we headed to San Isidro to go to the
clinic.. because Hna Zárate has been sick.. Hermana Erickson came with
us because the mission home is really close in Lima Central.. We had
lunch with her and then we were able to head back to Bayovar. We had a
lot of lessons and the funniest part is that we went to the birthday
party of a convert just to say hi and ended up turning off the music and
sharing a scripture with everyone that was there.. super awkward, but
something we will never forget!
Friday we had our interviews with the president and
then were able to go out to work. Normal day... Saturday we had our
district meeting and got to now the zone a little more. Later we were
walking and saw a little boy fall and start crying.. we helped him to
his house and we realized he was the son of some new investigators we
had found on Tuesday. We taught them again. Sunday was the best day..
their whole family came to church and we had 14 investigators there...
WOW! That`s all for now!! Take care everyone!
Hermana Imbler
