Hola Familia!!!
Another great week has flown by! Oh my heavens, I have two
months in the mish!!! That is so nuts! I am loving it here and this week has
been so great!!
As you all wonder every week … how is my Spanish? Well, this
week I was able to understand A LOT more!! My comp is so patient with me and
pushes me to speak as much as I can. The best part is when we are contacting in
the street and my comp says the next person is mine and right when I start
speaking the same thing happens every time. The person starts with a smile and
then their face slowly moves to a confused look, a no idea what was just said
type of look. Well, the language will come one of these days! :)
Right now we are teaching about 7 families! We found one of
the families as the sister was washing her car out in the calle. We introduced
ourselves like normal, and when we started talking about the Book of Mormon and
Joseph Smith she was shocked and said, "Oh yeah, I had a dream about
him." WHAT??? Talk about a prepared investigator!! She wanted to learn
more and invited us in to her home. She invited her brother and cousin out
(keep in mind that they are all about 60 years old and the sweetest group of
people) and we taught them the first lesson. The spirit was so strong!! I could
only speak a little bit of Spanish, but I testified of what I could and we
asked if we could come again! Now we have taught them three lessons, and they
are GOLDEN investigators! They are reading their Book of Mormon and are so
sweet and excited to learn more! Oh and in the last visit, they invited two of
their family members to listen to the lesson. WOW!! Maybe by the end of
December we will have 5 more baptisms?? Cross your fingers!!
Also, this last week we had a day when none of our meetings
with investigators fell through, so we decided to do contacting and knock on a
bunch of doors in the street. We began knocking, and did for what seemed like
forever before we got to the house of one of our current investigators. We
stopped to say hello, talked to her for a little, and then found out she has a
brother who is a member, who lives in her house, and has been looking for the
missionaries!! WHY HAD WE NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE?? She called him down to meet
us, and he is an incredible man named Julio. He has been looking for the church
ever since he moved from Lima to Piura! It was a miracle!! Seriously, we had
been knocking on doors ALL DAY and one of our last houses (a house of an
investigator) had a member of the church! He was so excited and said he would
love to come to church that Sunday! And sure thing, he was there the
following Sunday!! He seriously is incredible and so willing to take the
lessons again since he has been inactive for quite some time. He is literally
the perfect investigator!
Overall, we are working hard and are loving the opportunity
we have to teach the gospel every day!! Thank you for all of your support and
we´ll see what this next week brings!! I love you all!!! Keep choosing the
right and make every day count!
XOXO – Hermana "CH-UM" way!!
