Overall, this week was really great. I love living with
Hna. Rasmussen and Olivares. They are so sweet and I love them both to
death. My mission has given me so many friends for eternity. I feel so
blessed to have known them.
We had our interviews with president this week, and
it was so good. It`s always shorter than I hope, but it was good. He
talked about expectant faith as opposed to wishful faith. That is
something I struggle with. I`m working on it though.
I love my companion. She is the kindest person I
know. I feel like she should be from England. She likes Jane Austin, BBC
classics, and drinks herbal peppermint tea without sugar. We get along
so well, and I laugh all the day long. I just know she is going to get
snatched away from me, just like all my other favorite companions. Hna.
Tamariz, 1 transfer. Rasmussen 1 transfer, Nelson, 2 transfers... it`s a
curse. But we will enjoy the time we do have together.
Remember that billy boyd song from lord of the
rings? Mist and Shadows or something. well, we spent a good day
listening to all her LOTR songs until we found it. turns out it`s just
the last 15 seconds of a song. Boo. that song should really be longer.
We found a golden investigator whose mom happens to
be a member. We were going through a list of names the elders gave us.
they`re super less actives who might have passed away, or moved. Most
have passed away or moved, but luckily this lady still lives in Puno.
and her 18 year old daughter Vaness accepted to be baptized after
teaching her for 20 minutes. She is so excited. We just need to get her
mom to church too so she isn`t alone. She already has a friend in the
ward who is also studying medicine at the same college, and happens to
live down teh street. Vanessa is so great. She was EATING UP the Book of
Mormon because she always wanted to know where the Incas came from.
Well, just read the first few chapters of Nephi, and that`ll answer all
your questions. She is stoked, and so am I.
We could really really use your prayers to help make
this happen. Satan works hard, and I don`t want him to get this one.
well, anyone, but especially her right now. Her full name is Vaness
Mamani Cruz. Pray that her parents will also accept the gospel.
I love my mission. Every week, I learn more about
how to improve. God is so great, and so is Christ. I am converted, and I
am never leaving.
Go do some good, and help
the missionaries! go with them to lessons. give them references of less
actives or non members. feed them (but not too much because then they
want to pass out on their beds for a couple hours.... and that`s not
allowed.).
I love you all.
Love, Hermana Allred
1-- my comp and I freezing to death at the stake center while everyone
else plays soccer. I still don`t play... cuz I don`t know how. and I`d
rather play piano in the chapel.
2-- planning at our desks. ha. We don`t have one.
3-- Hna. Rasmussen`s pensionista feeds us like we`re elders... I
hate it. Soup, main dish, and a dessert of sorts. I HATE FOOD SO MUCH.
We were full for a good 2 hours.
