Yea,
so we don't have cambios (transfers)! The people of Guadalupe will have to put
up with Hna Mancilla and me for another 6 weeks...haha but we're pumped!!
Tuesday
it rained!!!! We were both super excited, but then felt bad cuz there are
people who have adobe houses and dirt floors, so rain is probably a disaster for
them.... but it was nice to be in the rain again.
Wednesday
we went to Trujillo for a multi-zone conference with Zona Porvenir and Zona Primavera.
It was way good, super spiritual, and it was fun to be with other missionaries
and President and Sister Marble.
Yesterday,
we had 6 investigators at church!! We are starting to see more progress with
people, especially Raul Ventura and his daughter. She went to church with him
last week and liked it so much that yesterday she got up early on her own and
got ready and was so excited! And this week she's going to the young women’s
activity. Raul has now gone three Sundays in a row and continues to enjoy it. We
had a lesson with them last night and invited him to be baptized on the 25th of
this month and he accepted!! His wife kept saying she couldn't believe it. Not
in a bad way, it's just that he studied five years to be a cura (catholic
preacher), and has never listened to another religion, much less attended a
different church. But he said he is praying with more faith and more intensity,
and we are just so excited! Santos went to church with Franklin and Victor, and
they both went to primary willingly! Sometimes Victor doesn't want to go in. But Santos is literally the best, she just can't get baptized until she and Henry
get married and he's not interested in that....so we'll just continue to strengthen
her testimony so that she is 100% ready when they get married. I love her so so
much. One of my favorite things about the mission is meeting these incredible
people who I will love forever (literally).
Other
than that, I’m kind of dying from insanely itchy bug bites, I found out that
it's possible to be allergic to sweating (guess who is--me), and our
water went out again for a few days, but Hna Mancilla and I are super pumped to
be together another cambio, and to see more miracles!! I love you all and hope
everyone has a great week!!
