Hey Mom
remember that onetime i wanted to play soccer, but I choseto dance instead? BIG
MISTAKE!!! It´s all we do on P days and the onetime I tried to play, I got
laughed to shame and they kicked me out. It´s awful… I just wish Iwas
latinsometimes. (the spacebar stinks on thiscomputer. Sorry)
So this
week was nuts. We had so many miraclesandI don´teven know where to start.
Let´s start
with this. BAPTISM!!! Federico Corrales
is 83 years old, his wife died a long time ago, his son is our Elders Quorum
President, and he quitdrinking 2 years ago for God. He came to church last Sunday
and told us he wants to be baptized thisweek. We visited him every day this
week and he was baptized on Sunday after church. I cried when hisson bore
histestimony. It was such a special momentbecause I KNOW he isconverted and I
do not have to worry about him falling away. I have decided I am not going to
let someone be baptized if I know they aren´t ready. They will be onemore
inactive member, andI don´t want that. I want to haveCONVERTS not
baptisms. He is the sweetest thing I
have ever met. He has one little brown tooth and only speaks quechua,but his
son translated for us. He understands EVERYTHING and we barely had to explain
anything cuzhe already knew. Wow. I love
him. He had a hard timein the font cuz he can´t move very well, but he was so
happy after and the ward is welcoming him with open arms.
OH! The first
lesson with him was great, and after we got to see his brand new grandson. I
walked in the room, saw the baby, and started bawling. I couldn´t explain how I
felt to anyone. I was thinking about Brittany´s lil baby to be and just AH! I
couldn´t help it. I miss you guys and after such a good lesson (after a week
ofnothing but crap), seeing a brand newbaby, just all these weird
emotionsexploded at once and everyone was confused. It´s fine. Just allergies
haha.
We
haveanother baptismthis weekend of a 9 year old girl, and SHE IS READY! No
doubts about her. I love when we don´t have to worry about baptisms falling
through. Stay tuned for pictures. J
I have so
much to say but I can´t think… gah. Elder cook. You know, that apostle guy,
yeah… HE WAS HERE! We got to listen to him and his wife for a whole hour in Cusco
yesterday. The coolest thing ever. I SHOOK HIS HAND!!!! So cool. No words. I
was in the choir too. I realized that every time I join a choir, it´s because I
either want a good seat, orsomeone famous will be there and I want to stand
closer to them haha. Carrie Underwood in Stadium of Fire, MTC choir (it´s
impossible to get seats unless you´re in the choir), and Mission Choir haha.
That, and singing is pretty cool.
Our area
isexploding with success and Transfers are next week and I have no idea if I
will be leaving or not. AH! I hope not. I love this area and have work to do.

OH YEAH! last week we went to Machu Pitumarca (not machu picchu) for
Pday and hiked up a huge mountain for 2 hours. I LOVED IT! I forgot how
much I love hiking. Although I was dying because of the altitude. 11,000
ft. The fact that I hate working out doesn´t help haha.
