This
week we contacted a GOLDEN reference, met an atheist, had a baptism, and
rescued Juanito.
The
golden investigator was like a self-reference, cuz she contacted some other hermanas
in Tottus (a supermarket) last week, so they sent us the reference. We went
that same day and talked with Carmen and her 9-year-old son Sergio. They are
from SPAIN!! and they are super cool and wayyyy prepared!!! We had a fantastic
lesson and they had lots of good questions, so we are really looking forward to
their progress.
So
I don't know what this is in English, but the guy we met is a panteista(???)
like he believes in the forces of nature, like the wind, the sea, the forest,
instead of God. I don’t know how that helps you in life, but whatever floats
your boat. That was a first though. "yea, and all things denote there is a
God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face
of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which
move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator." (cough,
cough)
Maykol
got baptized!! Of course I was super happy for him, but I don't feel like I
really had a part in his conversion because he had a testimony and wanted to
get baptized way before I got here. The service was really great though! I
played the violin and my companions sang for the musical number, and our ward
mission leader baptized him. Maykol is going to be such an amazing member and
leader in this ward.
So
yesterday, all our appointments fell, so we were going to try and find another
investigator, when we found Juanito (the old guy in our ward) very far from
home. He said that everyone in his house had left and he was bored all alone,
so went to find friends. So we walked him back to his house, where it turns out
that everyone was just sleeping. We had a pretty funny conversation though. He
cracks me up.
Have
a great week! and "be anxiously engaged in a good cause"! (ie, please
help your local missionaries) they will be eternally grateful and you will only
get more blessings!!
Lots
of love from Peru!!
