I am glad that you liked the package. I still have not received mine from the offices but I asked the
zone leaders about it and they said they will retrieve it for me on the
5th of December, so hopefully all is good in that category! And I really
enjoyed the photos. I was going to send my sombrero but they
wanted 800 mas pesos and I said No Puede Ser which means it cant be...
So I ended up not sending it. But at least all of you got what I
could send! I wrote a list of what thing goes to whom. So I hope you can
give those gifts to whom it corresponds. Our investigators are iffy
right now because each one has a situation but at least it is a
challenge. This week my companion and I are going to see who really
wants to progress and if they do not we have to stop visiting them for
awhile because we can only teach those who complete our commitments. But
Elder Molina and I are a good team. It is in this precise moment when
Indiana and Lima, Peru unite :) haha But yeah I think I will be leaving
the Rosa this next transfer in the 14 of December. And Elder Molina told
me that it is best if I give you the number of the family that I will
be with and you call me so that I dont have to worry about all that card
and time stuff.
Also each person receives the Book of Mormon and its
doctrine differently depending on how prepared they are. Only the spirit
can testify of it's divinity and sometimes we do not have control over
that segment. But I can tell that our lessons and my knowledge of where
the scriptures are and how to use them is increasing. I love the
scriptures :) Also I have a funny story to tell that happened yesterday
morning before church..: Elder Molina was in the back room and I was
studying in 2 Nephi 9.. When I heard someone knocking on the door (7am in
the morning) So I went over to the door thinking it was the zone
leaders or something like that. But when I opened the door a smidge it
was a lady around 50ish years old and I was a tad bewildered. But I only
had a second to think when she barged in our house and told us she was
going to sit down. And she started rambling about Joseph Smith because
she was super drunk... I had no idea what to do. So Elder Molina
and I were trying everything to get her out of our house because it was
odd.. She fell asleep there in that chair for a good 20 minutes. Elder Molina was yelling that she had to leave and I was clapping really loud
to try to wake her. So finally Elder Molina and I grabbed one arm each
and we picked her up and we were helping her to her house when she said
leave me and she took off. It was a really odd experience that is for
sure. But the thing is while she was rambling, she told us that she was baptized
in our church 10 years ago and she knows she should not drink but she
couldn't stop. It just made me really grateful that we have commandments
however strict they may seem to be because they protect us from the
dangerous world that Satan is preparing for us. Each experience here on
my mission is accompanied by a sweet lesson :) I hope you all know I
have much love for you all and for our Father in Heaven!
