Hola!
This was another great week in the mission field! I am so
happy and all is going well!
We have one investigator, José that is really excited for
his baptism. When we asked if he would be baptized he said, "YEAH, just
tell me the time and the day and I'll be there." He also really wants for
his family and friends to come to church with him and change their lives as
well. He is reading every day and really wanting to make a change in his life.
He has epilepsy (I have no idea how to spell that) and received a blessing
yesterday from the bishop that was really beautiful. I am excited to see how he
will progress the next couple weeks. We had a really cool experience as we were
teaching an investigator, Delía, about the Book of Mormon. It was amazing as
scriptures came into my mind that I had read the day before which were exactly
what she needed to hear to gain the understanding that she needed to have the
desire to read it! I really am amazed as the Lord puts the words and scriptures
into our minds as we are doing his work! At first I never thought I would be
able to remember where scriptures were, but now I have scriptures coming into
my mind that I haven't used since I was with Hermana Moscoso. It's so cool. We
have a family of nine that we are teaching which is so cool! Five of them have baptismal
dates for the 22 and they even came to church yesterday. It was so great.
Tonight we have a FHE with them so that will be fun. We're also teaching a mom
of 4, Marina, she loves the church and wants to be baptized, but the only
problem is she's not married. Her "husband" is fine with her going to
our church but doesn't want anything to do with it. We are hoping, slowly, but
surely we can gain his confidence and start teaching him.... We'll see what happens.
We’re also starting to work better with the members and we are receiving
references from them! It is great and I am excited to continue to work with
them! The members here are really willing to help us and have time to go out
with us. It is awesome.
Saturday we went to the house of Marina to do service in the
morning. It consisted of moving rocks from one location to a giant puddle of water.
So that the water would stop entering their house. So that was fun. It was also
raining hahah which added another dynamic. But really it was so fun! The rain,
still, is much better than the sun!
Things are great with Hermana Pérez! We are doing just dandy
and get along super well! She is willing to work hard but also knows how to
have fun at the same time. It's great! Hermana Bolaños got an emergency
transfer and will be coming to Cochabamba today and will be my new sister
training leader which is cool! But I am sad for her cause she doesn't want to
leave Sucre. I also hope that my area and investigators in Sucre will be okay
(Juan José and Gladys are really for reals planning a wedding!), cause her comp
has only been there two weeks... But I know the Lord knows what is best! I
still love Scure so much. haha It was cool because I saw the bishop and his
wife and the ward secretary at the temple! So awesome!
Speaking of the temple.... We went to the temple this week!
It was so great and I loved it so much. It's always a great reminder of why I
am here in the mission and my objective as a missionary! It was also cute to
see Hermana Hill there as well!
Wellp, Life is good! I love you all so much! Keep up the
good work!
