Cajamarca week #4

Well, I've been here in Cajamarca for a month! 

Monday

We had a fun pday as a district and went to baños del inca. It's kinda a resort with a pool and mineral baths and stuff but we just walked around the grounds and took funny pictures. I also lost my planner which I was super bummed about....but at least I've kept track of my chapstick.

Tuesday

We had a lesson with Alicia, a 25 year old girl that we found in our area book. She's had some of the lessons before, but we had a good lesson with her about the restoration and I invited her to be baptized! She said she will if that's what she feels God wants her to do. Later that night we saw Ciro and Carolina (some of my favorite members in our area) in the park playing soccer with their 6 year old son Gabi. I played with them for a bit and one of his friends said 'who taught you to play??" I said "my dad!"" I think he was kinda surprised that I could play haha

Wednesday

Hermana Delgado and I both felt pretty sick, so we didn't go out much. kind of a miserable day...

Thursday

We talked to Carla about baptism and confirmation and that went well. She's the one I invited to baptism my first week. She's 21 and her brother Hernan is a recent member. She's  really cool and almost always reads the Book of Mormon. She said she doesn't have a definite answer about baptism yet but I know she'll get one. We also met with Susana and Carlos in the chapel again and had a great lesson about the restoration. I invited Carlos to be baptized and he said that if he feels it's right, he will. They are super awesome, I think with time, they'll just continue to progress toward the temple.

Friday

We had a lesson with Renaldo (16) and his brother Manuel (19). They grew up in the same kids home with Gabi and don't live with their parents now either. Manuel had a lot of good questions. I hope we can keep teaching them, I think they need the family-ness of the church and the gospel. 

Sunday

Carla and Hernan came to church for all three hours and so did Carlos and Susana! It was awesome! We didn't have any scheduled lessons, so we just walked around trying to find people...but we had some good lessons with members. 

I hope everyone is doing well, things here continue to get better. I read Sister Oscarson's talk from general conference this morning about how we have the greatest message of hope and help the world has ever known. It's true, so SHARE THE GOSPEL. Missionaries always need the help of members. I hope everyone has a great week!
