Este semana era tan bueno. Me encanta la obra del Señor y siento tan satisfecho. Que tal los Estados Unidos? Escuchado que Trump va a ser algo para ayudar Venezuela! Ya sabia porque los venezolanos aquí son tan felices sobre eso.
This week we worked super hard. I have been learning and growing at a super fast pace and I can feel the work of the Lord within me and it feels so great. The harder I work, the more I feel it, and the more I feel it, the harder I want to work. We have found some really great people this week that I hope will progress.
First off, I need to be careful because I may start feeling like a Latino, but I still don't look like one. I am oblivious to everything, but apparently I am getting cat called a lot by teenage girls and my companion is explaining it to me and it feels a little uncomfortable. I felt weird when there was a volleyball team and they just started calling me Papa-cito. That was weird.
So my area, it is HUGE. Really big and we do tons and tons of walking. Thankfully, I bought some pretty heavy duty boots, that luckily I was able to talk the price down because I am a boss like that, but I have like the worst blister/bruise that is part of breaking in these boots, so that stinks. But the other day we were contacting in a part of our area that we haven't been in before, and it is LITERALLY the farthest part of our area that I had no clue about because I have never been over there. But we found some people who were like golden, and they wanted to learn more and were so open and receptive to us. They don't have anything, just a mattress on the floor inside their house, and it was humbling to have the opportunity to teach them about the restoration and share the message with them. It was awesome, however we have to go back and frankly, I don't know if I will be able to remember how to get there. ALSO, they only have time at night, so that may stink if we get stuck out there. Hopefully we can make it back to our room by the time we are supposed to be there.
I have been practicing talking with literally everyone. Every person that I have a thought about talking with, I go and do it. It has been an amazing experience to talk with so many people about the most important message in the world. Maybe not lots of people were interested, or a few wanted to fight, but my testimony has grown immensely and I am so unbelievably grateful for the message that we are bringing to the people here in Peru. I love this gospel so much and I am hoping that the people can really feel the sacred nature of the gospel of Jesus Christ that we are sharing with them. Nothing beats the feeling of being able to go to bed at night knowing that I gave all that I could that day. It is the best feeling in the whole world, and I am looking forward to the many lessons that God has in store for me to learn here in the near future.
We are teaching English classes los dias miercoles (on Wednesday) at the church, and it has been such a blessing to get to teach the people my native language. We have been using it as an opportunity to bring investigators to the church, and after we teach some English we share a message about the gospel with them to teach them why we are really here. It is a little bit of a challenge, because there are some kids who are members and a little disruptive so we may need some discipline. I may understand how my Spanish teachers may have felt now. (Sorry coach Pickup and Señor G). I love teaching children songs, that I sang when i was little, in English, then to hear their broken up English sing the song. To me it is the most beautiful thing in the world and makes me so happy.
Overall, this week has been a good hardworking week. I love you all, and I know this church is the best, greatest, awesome-est, and the only true church of the Lord Jesus Christ. You guys are all so special to me and I am loving the service I am doing here in this amazing place. Love you all so much!!!
