Yea buddy
So we didn't baptize the sweet angel from
heaven, 96 year-old lady. Because we couldn't heat the water sufficiently so we
are going to baptize her on Wednesday with a family that we are baptizing, the
familia Cruz. The father Yuri is a member for almost all his life, but has been
less active because when his brothers went on missions he decide to serve a
different mission, a military mission and has been serving in the Peruvian special
forces for almost all his life. So he hasn't had much time to attend church his
wife Ana Cecilia and their two daughters, Valery and Siomara are super awesome. They were super ready for the gospel, their dad has been a great example in
their lives and various times he would teacher them something about the gospel
before we would come over to teach and we wouldn't have anything to teach because
they already knew it. They problem is, he is leaving for a mission on the ninth and
Wednesday is the last day we can baptized. We knew that the invitation to be
baptized on that day would be a hard decision for them because it was a very
short period of time we have been teaching them, but I bore a huge heartfelt
testimony and so did my companion and so did Yuri and everyone was crying and we
committed them to pray about it as a family. We came over the next day in the
night to teach them again. Not expecting to baptize them and very concerned about
the situation. But through their faith and a fervent prayer they have decided to
be baptized. So we got their interviews done and they are super ready to go so
we just need to find a way to heat the water for the ancient Incan woman.
Hermana Cecilia makes me hot Jell-O every time I
go over there because I commented on how my mom makes that for me every time
I’m sick and she has taking the role to make it for me every single day. Its awesome because Peruvian Jell-O is awesome! We had a family night with them
that’s why in the picture we have lip stick zits on our face ha-ha. The game we played is kind of hard to explain, it's like big booty but with consequences ha-ha. Anyway my companion is a nut. In the shower he screams random weird stuff
in Spanish and sings songs like a dying alpaca. It's hilarious, but ya we
are working on finding some new families. O yea we now have cell phones in our
area so ya our zone is pretty cool. We are the first zone to get them to see if
they improve the work and so far they have because all the calls to the
district leaders and zone leaders are free so we can get a lot more feedback on
our numbers. So that’s pretty chill. We have a new elder in the zone from Boise
this kid doesn't know any Spanish. Its hilarious, I wonder if I was really
that bad when I started. His name is Elder Harris. Yes, we have two elder Harris' in our zone. One is the zone leader with one change left, the other has two
weeks in the mission and is the newest elder in the mission, ha-ha it's funny because
they are in the same church on Sundays. Last night we got a miracle
phone call from a man in Utah who is from Peru who gave us a reference in our
district. So that was kind of cool. I have no idea how he got our number, but I don’t mind. Also last night we had 99 contacts on the week and we need
100 every week so me and elder Cruz preached from atop our apartment to get 2
more contacts at 10:30 at night, ha-ha so that’s kind of sad.
So yea Peru is freezing right now, but it’s
nothing like Utah.
Our investigators were searching the internet

there a few times lpblunck.blogspot.com
