Saludos a todos! Estoy tan feliz! Tenemos tres fechas para noviembre! El obra es realmente bueno en nuestro área en este momento!
But
most of all, I am stoked because my package with my micro plus blanket
and hot cheetos came in the mail. SHOUT OUT TO LA MAXIMA MADRE EN LA
TIERRA.
Okay
in slightly less self centered news my best friend in Peru (Lady age 9)
(taking what I can get on the friendship scene) gave the prayer in Sacrament meeting. !PUEDO ESCUCHAR UNA AMEN! Her family is preparing
for baptism and we finally got them to church when Lady was in the
Primary Program. BAH
you think primary programs in the states are good you should have seen
this on yesterday. At one point the bishops little son yelled translated
to English something to the extent of THIS IS GOING REAL BAD REAL FAST.
My
zone is filled with newbz to the area this week with all the area
changes. SOS they better be chill because I am not down for boring
weekly zone conferences.
We
made more cookies last Monday after one my best friends (Elder Quilcat
from Trijijo Peru) begged for us to show him how to make them. (not the
slimmest Elder in the field I might add)
SKETCHY...
I mean spiritual experience of the week was having the opportunity to visit the hospital to give a sister in the ward a blessing. We found
ourselves in a cramped room of several patients with various conditions.
The smell of dirty bed pans and sweaty elderly was hard to ignore as we
met with the sister and began to offer a blessing of health. But as we
were able to exercise priesthood authority the room fell silent. Moans
of pain ceased and worried relatives lost words. As we prepared to leave
shaking hands with the sister sharing last words of comfort and encouragement a woman approached us asking if people who are not Mormon
are able to receive blessings, We promptly replied of course! She
proceeded to walk us in the direction of her brother who lied pale and
thin in his rickety hospital cot. He slept through most, if not all, of
the blessing, but I know it was heard where it needed to be heard. After
the blessing his sister reached for her purse asking how much she owed
us. Completely taken aback we replied that money can not by blessings,
that with faith and hope in the Lord and his plan he can know what his
father has in store for him.
I love being a missionary and I love all of you!
