Hola Familia!!! Como Estan?
I have lots to catch you up on. We started out the week in
Trujillo... We waited for about 4 hours in the clinic to see if I could get a
demoral shot to help with my headaches and right before our turn, the doctor
ran out to an emergency. So Hermana Turk made an executive decision and we went
to dinner for my birthday!! I had the most delicious Fetucchini Alfredo that I
have had in 11 months!! So yummy!! Thank you Pres. and Hna Turk. As we got back
to the mission home Hna Turk gave me my packages from home for my birthday with
the ¨magic pills¨. (mom note: we were finally able to send her some
prescription meds for pain)
The next morning we headed back to Trujillo and we got the word
that Roger and Pilar were going to change their wedding date for Thursday! So
we headed off to their baptismal interview Tuesday afternoon!! They are amazing
and have such strong testimonies and are so excited for this next step in their
life.
Wednesday we had interviews with President Turk, and then we got
to hear from Pres, and Hna Turk. It was great, a very uplifting day. Lots of
things that I needed to hear, and some things that I can do to strengthen me
testimony! My interview with President
was great, He is so inspired. I am looking forward to learning a lot more from
him.
So after a Long day Wednesday, we had a multi-zone meeting
Thursday again with President and Hna turk. It was again another great meeting.
I love being around them, they are always so full of energy and such strong
spirits.
Thursday was the wedding of Pilar and Roger, we weren´t able to go
because we were in meetings all day, but they were officially married, and
after our meetings we worked on preparing for the baptism that night. Satan is
very powerful, so we didn´t want to give him time to do any damage. Their baptism
was planned for that night and it was amazing!! The musical number, the talks, and
the support of the members!! My favorite part, were the testimonies of Pilar
and Roger. They were awesome. I love them so much! I didn´t get any good
pictures because there were so many cameras going.
So the Week was a great success!! I love being a missionary. I am
grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve the people here in Chimbote.
They have changed my life
Changes are next week, We´ll see if we get changed. I hope not,
but well see.
Love you all!!!! Thanks for the brithday cards!!
