Family!
Great week,
like always. Last P day, we woke up at 4 30 and took a bus ride for 2 hours
into the mountains of Peru... we got to a little city called Morropón. Beautiful!
The mountains were super green, and super pointy. We took a moto deeper
into them mountains about 20 minutes and it was dope cause we got to ride off
the back... anything goes here in Peru and I love it! We took about a 2 hour
hike deeper into the mountains up to this waterfall called las Cataratas.
Oh my word it was breathtaking. Super pretty.. it made me think of
horsetail falls and made me a little trunky but hey we enjoyed it :) We came back, enjoyed some prime duck and rice
and got back on the bus :) Seriously, one of my favorite Pdays.
Tuesday was
great. We set a baptismal date for one of our investigators Oscar for
July 27th - 2 days before the birthday so I hope it turns out well.
:)
Wednesday was
amazing. We had a lesson with the family and we talked about the Plan of
Salvation... they had a ton of questions specifically the grades of glory, and
the Celestial Kingdom. I opened my heart and bore a real personal testimony
that the only reason that I was here is so that people here in Piura have the
opportunity to live with God in the Celestial Kingdom.... as a family...
Forever. The spirit really hit hard, it was really pretty.
Thursday we
got to see the transfers a little early cause were secretaries YOLO.
Elder Nosa and I are staying another transfer together... We weren’t super
surprised, we kinda figured we would stay here. I’m happy about it -
Elder Nosa and I get along fine. Haha. I truly have been blessed with
companions in the mission.. I’ve never had a companion that’s a stinker. Except
for Elder Soto (just cause he’s reading everything I’m writing) :) It turns out
that he’s the new assistant. I was super
happy about that, cause I’m going be able to see him a lot more
Friday I got some great news... My friend,
Harol, in Negritos that came with us to appointments every day recently sent in
his mission papers! It’s a super big deal for me, cause we talked about it so
much and he was always super iffy... super cool as well. I got to see him this morning when we were helping
out with transfers.. he was going to go on splits with a missionary for today
so I got to see him. But the best part about the whole thing, is that his dad
is going to get baptized. I don’t know if you remember me telling you
about this but when we were trying to teach his dad, he didn’t want ANYTHING to
do with us and now he’s getting baptized!
My testimony is so strong that Christ changes people. I have seen SO
MANY people here in the mission that do a full 180 degree change.
Later in the
night, we had dinner with Hermano Hernandez. i don’t think I’ve talked about
him but he seriously is an example to the world. I loved what he said
"what’s the point of keeping everything I have for myself? I want to share
everything I have with everyone!"
People are
amazing...
Thanks for
everything.. .thanks for the package that you just sent. Love you guys.. have a
great week...
