Happy Easter!! I hope you all enjoyed a peaceful but exciting Sabbath! First off, Happy Birthday Adriane!!! I loved Conference and have enjoyed talking to members and investigators about it as well. Did any of you see Elder David Archuleta in the missionary choir on Saturday? Yeah, it was kind of fun to see him singing as a misionero.
For those of you who did not hear, Y canceled her baptism. She says she wants a sign that she needs to be baptized. Kind of frustrating. Good news is, that her sister and mom came to church! We also had a great lesson about General Conference with her sister C.
We had an amazing Plan of Salvation lesson with a family one night for ward home teaching. It turned out that they were having a birthday party and there were several other less-active members of their family there. ALL of them committed to go to church on Sunday, but we don't know if they did since they don't live in our ward and those in our ward attended a different ward since their work schedule doesn't permit... but yay!!! The member who came with us was extremely helpful and even invited them to go to church with him since he newer as well! Member missionaries work wonders!
We found a 14-year-old boy named J. when going to a return appointment for a return appointment we didn't expect to make. When we saw him, we both knew we had to teach him -- we got a kind of spiritual shock when he answered the door. We asked if they (he and his step-dad) believe that Christ suffered for them. He immediately said, "Yeah! I do!" Then we asked if they had ever asked themselves what the purpose of life is and why we are here. J. said "I have!" In my mind I thought, where did this kid come from?? (heaven, but still...) We have not been able to catch them at the right time since, but we are still optimistic and excited!!!
J., the Bible man who almost ate us, has really come out of his shell, so to speak! He really wants to know more and has many questions, but he said he wants to read the whole Book of Mormon first, so we will go by again in a week or so. He has become more friendly and was impressed that we actually do speak Spanish...:)
We had an awesome Service Saturday by helping out the 1st and 2nd wards. One project was cleaning out an older house, which included throwing an old train model over the balcony...:) The other project was painting a fence for several hours and eating Peruvian food for lunch! We also had a good time with the other missionaries there!
H. and his family have become so friendly! We are almost a part of their family! We discovered that H. likes country music and that we like some of the same artists!! We had a fun time laughing about that. We will be going over tomorrow night and talking about the gospel with the entire family!!
Well, it was a bit shorter today because we don't have a lot of time! Make sure to stay safe and remember that missionaries love you! Sister B. and I love serving and hope you loose yourselves in the work at home! Transfers are in two days and I have been feeling that "Change is coming! No way we survive this!" (Mulan) but, if I am transferred then I will go. Can you believe time runs faster, the longer I’m here? Dang. I love you all!!!! Keep smiling!!
