Hey Mom,
This week was HARD! And fun! We had great numbers this week
but We were not able to meet with the investigators that I wanted to meet with.
We found two new people to teach. They are two friends from Bolivia who
traveled to Arequipa on promise of work and in the end there was no job. They
are stuck here and are just trying to make it along living in a room about the
size of my old walk in closet... They have a game of uno and spend most of
their free time playing that game. We have focused on them this whole week.
They feel alone and need friends. I have also been improving my teaching skills
because My companion does not have a strong background in the church. He
usually shares his testimony and gives some advice which is perfect because he
has a very strong testimony. He has had so many life experiences and he can
usualy relate to the problems the members have and he brings so much experience
to the table. Its amazing to see how the lord can take anyone and turn them
into a grand instrument of change. I know that the lord did the same thing with
me. He changed me. In my mission I cannot believe the things he has allowed me
to see and the experiences he has allowed me to pass. I cannot explain with
words the feelings and emotions one feels while watching someone come to
realize that the gospel is true and they can be forgiven for the past. I know
that The Gospel is true that this is the key to find peace in life. Sharing
this has brought me so much joy and fulfillment I can not stop smiling!
