This week Diego got baptized after two weeks! He has so much faith and trust that if he follows Christ, that Christ will heal him and give him the strength he needs to overcome the disease that weighs him down. He honestly has set such an amazing example for me. We had to teach many things and he accepted all the commandments and committed to living them the first time hearing of them. Honestly it surprised me how fast everything was. I know that this is not my work, but the work of the Lord that has prepared his children to return to Him.
Diego is also already friends with all the JAS in the ward! We brought him to a noche de hogar, and he just fit right in with everyone. He is even going to go to all the activities and is super excited to participate with the members of the Church.
This coming week we will have the opportunity to go to the temple with the recent converts and to help them with their historia familiar to do baptisms for the dead! I am super excited to get to go with all of them. There are lots of converts here in Gran Chimu.
We also had our zone conference this week, where I was a little worried the whole time because I was concerned about Diego and his baptismal interview. We also learned that there are some super exciting things that are about to happen. In December, all the missionaries will get to go to the plaza de armas aqui en Trujillo to do a little Christmas performance, so I am super excited for that.
Cambios are this week, and it is likely Elder Pacheco and I won't be together another change, so it should be interesting what is going to happen. I really hope I don't leave Gran Chimu, I will be super sad if that is the case. I love it here so much. I love Peru. The mission is the best!!! The spirit is so strong all the time. Jesus lives!!!! Joseph Smith was his prophet! The church is restored!! I love you guys!!
