Baptisms!

 

 

Wow what a week!

 

Hna Cuadra has an intestinal infection, and she refuses to take her medicine, no matter how hard i try to give it to her. so that might go well for her!

 

She was in bed for two days. sooooo for two days i was with members! It was great.  I asked one to stay with me for 6 hours and she was more than excited to do it! That day we had 6 lessons, with 5 people who were preparing for baptisms and one that we invited.  So it was a miracle and one of the biggest blessings from God I have ever received.  

 

This weekend Claudia and Wendy will be baptizedª! I am so excited.  Elder Mickle is coming to baptize Claudia, which technically she is his convert, I taught her like two lessons hahaha.

 

So we have been with Leondro and Alejandro everyday this week! They really have my heart here, no one has affected me or touched me as much as they have.  Not even Barinia, and i don´t even know why.  I feel like i knew them before, I feel like they are my favorite people in the world, i don´t even know where it came from! They other day Leondro sent a message to me, he said, ¨Thank you so much Hermana, you have helped me so much in my life, I love you!¨I almost started crying.  Then yesterday when they didn´t come to church, I practically was crying.  Now i might not be in the area for their baptism.  Guess they aren´t ready.  Pray really hard for them! I was going to fast with Leondro the other saturday, but he said he wanted to do it alone.  He is really close to God.  They have a hard life, their dad is hardly home, their mom moved out to live with someone else, and they are really humble.  But so spiritual,they are only 16 and 10 also!!! The other day Leo bought a bracelet that said, I heart USA. He was sooooo excited to show it to me! Can I just take them home with me! I really just want to spend all day everyday with them.  Hna Cuadra got kind of mad at me yesterday because I got so sad that they didn´t come to church, i ended up thinking about it all day and what not.  I don´t know, I don´t think she gets it.  Alej, the 10 year old, doesn´t really have good feelings toward Hna Cuadra, so i don´t really know what to do.  He didn´t want to talk to us the other day because she was with me.  I got him to so don´t worry.  

 

It was a long week that went by super fast! I am so surprised ti is Monday!! wow.  These other two weeks are going to speed by too.  Two more and then it is transfers.  Where am I going?????? 

Zone Conference and the Temple

I feel like I just talked to you.  

 

Well the other day I had intercambios and it was AMAZING!!! I was with Hermana Giles.  i thnk it was my best one so far! I was so happy. I was at first upset that i couldn´t go to Cala Cala, i really do love that area, however, we had such a good day in Las Cuadras! I needed that time with Hna Giles, we talked a lot and i got some new looks on things. She is an amazing missionary, i love her so much! We just had an amazing day! Ever since my third transfer we had a contact that disappeared, i knew he was golden but he went away! I vowed to Hna Routsong that i would find him! Finally we did, during our intercambios! He, oh my gosh, he is amazing! He is 16 and is trying to find the church because he needs to change his life, he said he knows that the church can help him with that! He brought his little brother to church the other day and then he basically invited himself to baptism, if all goes well i will still be here to see it! That wouldn´t have happened if i went to Cala Cala, Hna Cuadra doesn´t know him! it was an answer to my prayers. WE are going to see him again today and i have been looking forward to it all day long!!! 

 

So yea we had zone conference and the temple the other day! We got more coookies haha so that was a dream come too! We learned about how to be more humble, how to talk to people more.  We also got an amazing story from one of the assistantes, Elder Mickle, fun fact he was in my area, the cancha so we talk a lot! He is actually the grandson of Elder Scott, no one knew that before.  Elder Scott was one of the first missionaries here and he helped start the church, so we got to see some amazing pictures and we learned a ton! The people here have the strongest faith in the world.  It was really cool. 

 

Wendy is doing great, she is going to be baptized the 23! With one of Elder Mickles ¨Converts¨long story, but yea finally she will be baptized hahaha.  Then hopefully Dana with Leandro and his brother Alejandro! After all my hard work here, almost 7 months, i will see some fruit of my labors, i mean ones that won´t run off to Chapari. hahaha.  Barinia is great too! She has been helìng us as ton as ward missionary!  

 

Today the pension in Cala Cala took a few of us to a little pueblo! It was so pretty, supposedly they had good bread, i really just liked the church hahaha.  Then we went back to the center and i had Saltañas with Hermana Routsong and her really cute companion! 

 

It´s been a good and really long week! I really have been super happy! and the time is just flying by . . . 

Sleepwalker

I GOT MY PACKAGE, SO SE PREOCUPE! 

 

 

Well the other day i was sleepwalking in Spanish! that was funny.  I had forgotten to tell Hermana Cuadra that i might do that.  She didn´t think it was super funny hahaha.

 

So today is hermana Cuadra´s  ¨Birthday¨it is actually wednesday but we decided to celebrate today.  WE went to a pension´s house and had cake with other missionaries.  A few of my white friends were  there but they got to leave after a while, i didn´t haha and after a while i was the onl y white person there.  It really wasn´t fun at all.  Hermana Cuadra was happy though and she had fun so that is really all that matters.  I am glad she got to have  a little party!    

 

So i told Presidente Claros, he is the in the stake, that you would look for a job for him in Utah.  He said it has always been is dream to go there!  He said even if he was working in fast food, it is work and he will take it.  He was in the military here so he also said he could be security guard for Presidente Eyring! He is currently security in the temple! 

 

Speaking of the temple, we get to go thursday and have our conference de zonas!!

 

WEll this last week, was kind of just like any other week.  Nothing too special happened. Cintia was running away from us so we couldn´t have a lesson with her.  Then we found her and she said she was mad then left again. 

 

Dana is amazing and has been coming to church alone so i feel a lot better about having her baptism! She asked me to speak at it hahaha.  

 

Ian and lorey are great but I don´t think they are ready to be baptized, they can be but they can´t go to church without us picking them up and taking them!  Hermana Cuadra thinks they are ready but i don´t so we will see how that goes!

 

I told Arturo that I wanted to be here for his baptism on the 30 so we have to have more lessons! They are going to look for time.  Yessenia told me she wants me there too.  Otherwise and Hermana that they don´t know will be there and no one wants that! hahaha.    

 

Wendy came to church an hour late yesterday so we had to move her date again! To the 30! Someone will be baptized then hahaha.  Which makes me sad because if I leave Cocha in 4 weeks I wont be able to go to the temple with her.    

 

WE had to break into a house the other day, that was fun ahaha.  It really wasn´t the house ok,. It was the apartment door.  He wasn´t picking up his phone! When we got up to his place he said that he has done that before so really it´s chill.

 

Talk to y'all Sunday!
