POR SUS FRUTOS CONOCEREIS

March 11, 2013

Hey everybody. So this week we started off with a good old game of volleyball in the rain. Then we ate ice-cream because we are sick! Also Hermana Blanca is the sickest at buying fruit, she bought us all of the fruit in that picture for 10 soles .(4 American dollars). So that’s pretty chill. This week we have had a few trails, the family we are going to marry and baptize have had a few couple issues and it seems like this week we have been playing Dr.Phil. and Judge Judy more than being missionaries. But all is well. The gospel solves all problems. So Christian and Celia will still be getting married here in a few weeks and we will accomplish 8/4/2. 8/4/2 is the monthly mission goal for a companionship it is 8 families in teaching, 4 baptisms in the month and 2 families baptized in that month. With Delicia confirmed on the 3rd of March we have 1 baptism with 1 family because her husband is a member. We will baptize Hugo Becerra this Saturday which will be the second baptism. Then with Christina and Celia baptized that will be 2 more baptisms and also a family due to the fact that they will be wed right before the baptism. Also we have 2 twins that were going to get baptized this week but were not able to come to church so they will most likely be baptized at the end of the month if not the beginning of April. So the branch of Belen will get its first 8/4/2 in history! And they can continue to progress and strengthen as a branch. The goal of the mission is to baptize families. The Peru Lima north mission baptizes the most families in all of South America and maybe the world. That’s all we focus on due to the fact that the family is so very important in the plan of our Heavenly Father. So yea we had a ward mission night where we taught how to share the gospel with the missionary lessons and then we practiced. I was surprised how well Nils contacted me, I wanted to get baptized all over again ha-ha. Then as Elder Bustos and I gave our talks in the sacrament meeting I really realized that this branch has gotten so strong over these past few months and I hope that they will continue with the excitement for the work.

I love you all
