Hola
Familia!
Como Estan?
Hace mucho sol aqui pero es major, yo creo que la nieve. :)
So this
week has been good, about the same as last week, but good. I’m good. It’s
been a hard week, I’ve been a little discouraged. I shouldn´t be. But yea......
teaching and investigator wise. I want to be constant, not have weeks that are
super great and then others that are horrible. And we trying to have
investigators that I will leave my companion with. But this past week we haven´t been able to
find anybody, and if we try to be persistent they get offended. But I’m just
frustrated … I'll be fine though.
I´m not
sure if I told you last week but we found a family!!! The parents aren´t
married :( ) and have some problems (we had quite the encounter with them this
past weekend). They have three kids. They missionaries were visiting one
teenager about two years ago, but the area got shut down right when she was
about to get baptized. But last week, we saw the dad sitting outside on the
corner of the house, and we contacted him and he let us in. They are good. The
parents really want us to help the teenager. They think that she is heading
down the wrong path. But from what we can see she is great! Two of the kids have a baptism date!!
We are pretty excited for them. We are also teaching one of the kids
friends and they really have an interest!

So this
last week for pday we made Pachamanca (mom note – Wikipedia says Pachamanca
is a traditional Peruvian dish based on the baking,
with the aid of hot stones).
We dug a hole. lit a fire, put some rocks on top. Then we put meat and stuff on the rocks and
then some banana leaves on and covered it up with dirt. And in 45 minutes; it
was done. It was quite the day, but it tasted delicious. Maybe we will have to
try it when I get home.
Also this
past week was the birthday of Hno Guillermo (he is the husband of my
pensionista) he wanted to eat cuy (guinea pig)!! Do you guys want to try
cuy when you come? It tastes like chicken.
Oh and
guess what..... Bryan and Damaris got permission from their mom!!!!! We sent
them home with a bunch of Liahonas and she started reading them-- and she said
yes!!! So next time they come to Trujillo they will be baptized - wahoo!!!
I don´t
really have too much to share this week. But I want you to know that I
love you and think you are all the best!
Never
forget that your Heavenly Father loves you! He never gets tired of
listening to us.
Love you
lots!
