The
weeks are just flowing together!! So crazy to think that in a short two weeks I’ll
have finished the greatest adventure in my life so far(:
This
week we have been pretty focused on getting our baptisms all prepared!! We are
gonna have 3 baptisms this Saturday and I’m SO DANG EXCITED FOR THEM!! They are
all so ready to make this promise with the Lord. We are gonna have a baptism
with our whole zone, so in total there will be 7 people who will be there
getting baptized! Its gonna be pretty cool, cause we are doing a special musical
number as well.
The
coolest thing that happened this week was that we spent Wednesday morning with
Pres and Hna Li. There was a lady who
finished her mission in Columbia and she stopped in Iquitos on her way to Tarapoto
because that’s where she is from. So we stayed with her all morning, and then
after dropping her off at the airport, the Li´s invited us to dinner with them.
It was me and Hna Robinson because our companions had to go and get money from
the bank. The Li’s are so dang cute though, they are just like our little cute Peruvian
grandparent’s haha
When
we were visiting Mercedes this week, she
said she didn’t know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and that she was thinking
about not continuing with listening to us because she had been praying all this
time and had not received an answer. Well then she said that the other night
she had prayed really hard, and that night she received an answer through a
dream where a voice told her that she needed to continue on this path and be
strong! Then she said she sat up and in her dream she saw ME with my proselyting
bag hahahaha so then she said that she knew the church was true and that this
is what God wanted for her. She’s way pumped for her baptism and we took her to
another baptism that the elders had this week and she loved it.
Also we had 6
investigators in church this week!!! Everything is progressing so much!! We
just feel super blessed(:
Love
you guys!!
