Hi everyone!
Okay so this past week has been kind of all over the place! Last week we had our sister Pday on Monday and it was so fun! We made shirts that had all our names on it with the area we were serving in. Then on Tuesday my comanion Hermana Pulice and I went to go to look for some less actives. All I can really say is that there was a lot of walking. And that don´t let anyone fall away! If you see someone new at church whether its a new investigator or less active go and be their friend! A lot of the work here is with less actives because they simple just fall away and no one notices. We can always do a little bit better everyday! On Wednesday we had our district meeting and we were talking about our investigators and how they were doing and i found my quote of the week!: Elder Holmes - Teodora. (name of the investigator)
Elder Sabando- Teodoro?
Elder Holmes: No, Teodora!
Elder Torres: Quien te adora? (who adores you?). It may be funnier in spanish but i still thought it was funny! Then fast forward to Saturday we went to a members house to get to know them a little better since they just moved back from Lima and we talking and it was all good and then she offered us some bananas and were like sure why not! Then we were about to finish our appointment when shes like "awe you have to go right now?" And we really did since we need to get to the church for the elders baptism which was a good 15 to 20 minutes away. So we said yes and she was okay let me just get some fruits for you guys to take and my companion and i thought yeah sure why not? I can take an orange and just put it in my bag. No. She brought out a bunch of bananas, a bag of oranges, and a couple of anonas( its a werid spikey fruit thing) that she had taking down from her tree outside her house and a few other things. And all i could do was laugh because it was just so kind of her to do we just had no where to put it. But we did eventually make it back to the church just in time for the baptism! Then on Sunday we had church like normal and all of our investigators with a baptism date showed up! Last week none of them showed up so we were all excited that they had taken the decision to close their restaurant and come to church. I love them so much! Then later that night we went to visit our recent convert Willian and it was so great because we can see how much he is progressing! Just a little background Willian got married and baptized last month and has been coming to church ever since! we started talking about the plan of salvation and things like that until we veered off talking about missionary life and how we have cambios(transfers) next week. And i think it just hit me right there about how much ive grown to love the people of Satipo. Everyone im teaching the members the enviroment just everything. I can honestly say that these past four months have been unforgettable! Also i think i spelled a lot of words wrong because english is getting harder and harder to speak and spell! My companion and i speak spanglish. Like no joke. And talking about my companion since today is pday we decided to do some P90X to start the day off and all i can say is that one hour of pilyometrics is SO HARD! I just hope that the waterfall we go to today doesnt have a lot of hiking because i might just die. Okay maybe im being a little dramatic but still! Okay so thats all for this week! love you all!
Keep smiling(:
