This has been a good week. Me and my companion are rocking and rolling , working hard, having fun, but the lame thing is, when I feel like we are peaking we are seeing the least amount of success. We have about 1000 investigators and no one can progress. This city makes it near impossible to go to church, the streets are filled with old ladys selling stuff, and the whole city participates, so no one can ever attend the church. However we had some good peeps this week.
Jason- Jason is 23 and he is too cool for school when he is around his family, but with just us he is way chill. He is the only nonmember of family Lupaca, who are the best people in the whole world. SO he was playing some nerdy computer game, but turns out my companion loves this game, and all of peru loves this game. SO my comp starts giving him tips, and then he agrees to talk to us. I love nerd games for that reason. This kid never talks to us, but the nerd game was the missing link.
Bryan- My heart melted this week. We were knocking a door of a less active, and then a door across the street opened. she said"hi my son is special ed, but he really really wants to be in a religion, all the other churches talk bad about how he was born, and i heard mormons is a good church." he attended church, and we have an appointment with his mom, such a sweet kid.
Antony-12 year old kid, gave us a perfect summary on how nephi killed laban, and now we are teaching his mom. We cant baptize him unless he has a member of his family in the church. lame, but his mom is awesome, but like i said this city makes it impossible to attend.
Antonio- Total loud mouth preacher mode in the gospel principles class, he confuses all the investigators and recent converts, hahah but when we are teaching him he is a saint with sincere desires to be baptized. but seriously you should see it, he puts on a show in the class, the dude can quote the whole bible.
Not much more going on in ilave, just slaving away on that mission grind. Ilave gets roasted, cuz all our zone is in puno. they were all going to this huge market on thursday, we asked to go, but because we are an hour away they said no. they all have fun and we just hit the grind. thats ok, that night we were feeling sorry for ourselves so we each bought a tub of ice cream and watched the Testaments on our mini dvd, in our beds. great night. I see miracles everyday, really everything is a miracle, im realizing that it just depends on how much you are grateful for God in your life. Good times.
