Well this week has been full of lots of picture taking and
long talks with people with lots of problems. The big news is, LILLIANA is
getting baptized this Saturday. It has been a long and hard road getting her to
baptism, but she is so ready and I am so happy for her. We are trying to make sure
she understands all the commandments 100% percent before she gets baptized so
she doesn´t fall back into the same habits. She has SO much faith and has been
through so much. I look up to her. She is the strongest woman I know.
Hna. Nelson experienced her first dropping of an
investigator. She was trying so hard to hold onto her, so we kept visiting her
a couple more times, but she REFUSED to change and be happy no matter how many
times we promised her that she would be blessed. She didn´t even want us to
pray in our last lesson. She is a very very angry person right now, and she is
not willing to accept it. Maybe mas adelante (i have no idea how tos ay that in
english) she will soften her heart and accept God in her life. We honestly
could never feel the spirit with her because she just wanted to FIGHT. I refuse to fight with people or bible bash.
It doesn´t get anywhere and the spirit isn´t there. (Mark 6:11 shake it off)
Random:
Why didn´t anyone tell me the Red Sox won the world series
in FENWAY? My companion´s sister lives in Boston and told her. Thanks guys.
All the dogs in sicuani are being forced to get rabies
shots. When they get them, they put a red collar on them. I´ve been avoiding
all the dogs without a collar haha. I don´t think rabies was one of the shots
for my misión.
Some drunk guy who I thought was just really sad (nope. Drunk.)
started talking to us and said he was from Texas and Barak Obama was his
brother. Might be true haha. Just kidding… our president is awesome. *toz*
*toz*
We went to Machupitumarca again because I´ve been here
forever and I´m the only person who has already been there. It was a lot more fun with
Hna. Nelson cuz she likes hiking and I didn´t have to wait for her. Got some
sweet pictures with a Panai. She only spoke Quechua, but one of the elders
translated for me. She wanted me to give her money for taking pictures haha.
Nope. Joke´s on you. This gringa doesn´t
have ANY money.
We also had a Ward movie night again, and we were in charge
of popping 5 kilos of popcorn. Do you know how long it takes to pop 5 kilos of
popcorn in a Little pot? A long time. But
the good news is that I never ever have to buy microwave popcorn ever again. I
ROCK at making popcorn. My kids are going to love me.
I don´t remember what else I wanted tos ay, but I LOVE YOU
ALL!
