Tuesday
We had a good lesson with Carla, were able to answer some of her
questions, and she's praying about September 17th for her baptism!!
We're praying she gets an answer soon.
Wednesday
We had our first district meeting with our new district! It's all
the missionaries from our ward (Elders Medrano and Wynn, and Hermanas
Sellan and Alvarenga-she's super cool) and the elders in Baños del Inca.
It's a super fun district. We also met the new missionaries who just
came from the CCM. They're all gringos, 4 elders and 1 hermana. It was
cool to meet everyone and to not be new anymore! The rest of the day was
kind of rough though, all our appointments fell through....
Thursday
We were walking by the park, and a guy was sitting on the sidewalk
with his head in his hands looking sad, and Hna Delgado and I looked at
each other and decided that he needed our message. Hna Delgado started
talking to him, and he kinda freaked out. He said that if there was a
god he wouldn't be here in Cajamarca and have all the problems he does. He was kinda hysterical, so we left a plan of salvation pamphlet and
hurried away....we probably won't try to contact someone like that
again...we had a lesson with Violetta about baptism and read 3 Nephi 11. She doesn't feel like she needs to get baptized, doesn't want to get
married, and doesn't pray about what we teach so idk why she keeps
inviting us back...but we're praying about what to do.
Friday
We had 6 or 7 lessons scheduled, but pretty much everything fell
through and we only had like 2 lessons with members. We try knocking
doors and talking to people in the street, and sometimes we get
appointments, but usually the people end up not being there...
Saturday
We had a service project at the house of a member in a different
ward and we moved an ENORMOUS pile of wood from outside to inside and
stacked it all in their courtyard. It was hot, but it was pretty fun,
and they gave us pizza after! The elders had a baptism later that day
and Carla came and really enjoyed it! I think it was good for her to
see what happens and the feeling that's there at a baptism.
Sunday
We had a really good lesson with Clarisa, the neighbor of members
that we found a few weeks ago. She seems really interested and we think
that she'll progress a lot, especially once she comes to church. That's
something that's pretty difficult though, is getting people to church.
They have stuff with family, they travel, or just don't want to go that
early (our ward starts at 8).
One of our favorite scriptures here in the mission is 3 Nephi 5:13.
You all can go read it, but it's about sharing the gospel. But we don't
need to be called of god or be a full time missionary to share the
gospel. Members are a huge part of this work, so please help out your
local missionaries by giving references and telling friends and family
about the gospel(: they'll love you forever! I hope everyone has a great
week!
3rd Nephi 5:13
