In the moto waiting
for Wendi! This week we had our first investigator have her interview for
baptism! We are planning her baptism for the 27th! This girl is so
awesome! I am sad she isn’t in the picture. But this is us waiting for her at 7
in the morning because it was the only time she could have a lesson before her
interview! She is so close! But as we have been teaching her I have been so
nervous. I freak out because I want them to be this spiritual giant when they
get baptized but in reality they are starting as a little seed and we are
helping them nurture that seed… But oh the stress! We are excited to see her be
baptized because she was the first one we started teaching when we opened the
sector. But oh how funny it is we have lessons in her moto! Oh the things that
happen in Peru!
Our water! Yeah so we
can buy bottled water and in the big 5 gallon jugs but it’s too much of a hassle
for us so we just end up boiling the water and putting in this container… Until
we took this picture!!!! OH MY GROSS!! It literally looks like healthy urine.
Yeah, well lucky to say I am not sick at all and my GI system is amazing! I
really haven’t been sick! SO BLESSED!
Oh and the one of the water bottle with
the funnel and paper towels. My comp was sick of having “floaties” in her water
so she did this so she could chug her water. We have filter water bottles but
man, the struggle is real here in South America! Haha!
The coconut tree!!!
This is in the front part of our capilla-church… Yeah I totally have a coconuts
growing right outside our church. Well one elder decided to climb it and break
it open… But it isn’t ripe yet! So sad! They will be in a few weeks though! I
am so excited because the coconut milk tasted disgusting!!!!
Breakfast this morning
for p-day! So for breakfast we had pan con huevos and chocolate con leche-
basically a piece of bread with a fried egg and then a chocolate drink. But the
chocolate drink is hot and OH MY GOODNESS SO GOOD! It is made from literal bars
of chocolate that they melt, put hot milk in with water, and then we put sugar
in as we eat it. I love it! But this is a really common breakfast here in Peru.
I LOVE IT!!
The last picture is
the two of us during comp study! This is literally how it started that day… My
comp says “well, I studied about prophets and honestly it is kind of boring…”
and then it slowly started to go into a discussion about the dispensations of
when the gospel was on the earth, all the different prophets and when they
lived and slowly we got into how our gospel has spread to all the different
parts of the earth. We also discussed how amazing it was how our country went
through all it did so the gospel could be restored when it was! I had one of
those lightbulb moments of WOW THIS GOSPEL IS SO AMAZING! Without Christopher
Columbus, all the wars we went through, and the leaders of our country I would
not be here in Peru preaching the gospel. The people here would have never had
the chance. I would not have the gospel. Wow. But if you want to read about
what we studied look up 1 Nephi 13: 10-19 and 2 Nephi 10:7-14. It is so cool!
Nephi prophesied of so many things that were going to happen!
Anyways! As Christmas
is coming closer and closer I love love love love love LOVE LOVE the chance I
have to be here and to have the opportunity to share the gospel. Christ is the
center of our church and to have the chance to celebrate his birth and life is
the reason of the season. I hope you are all having a great Christmas season.
Love you all! Until next week!
