Heyyyy
fammmmm
Ay yay yay
what a week. We are working super hard, trying to get our baptisms ready for
these next couple of weeks. We fasted and prayed and decided last night that it
would be better for us not to go to that little town of Chacrampa. We realized that even though there are a ton of people that wanna
listen, it is impossible for them to go to
church. The bishop is gonna try and find a way to start a little branch there to
see how it goes, but it seems as tho this month we are gonna just stay here
in Jauja to help the people we have here
in a better way. It also made the decision alot easier when we had a ton of
success here in Jauja this week. We found
a family whose lifelong bestfriends are members in another stake and they are
super excited to get baptized. They are super awesome and I am excited to help them out. We
also had a super cool experience this week. I wrote it to president in Spanish
and I don’t have time to write it again, but im sure someone will help you
out as far as translating it goes.
Buenos días presidente!
Ha sido una semana excelente,
estamos teniendo bastante éxito aquí en Jauja. Hemos encontrado una familia que
esta bien animada y quieren bautizarse. También mi testimonio en cuanto de los
susurros del espíritu y como escucharlos ha aumentado bastante. El domingo
anterior llegamos a la capilla y el obispo nos dijo que una hermana vino
buscando como podía bautizarse. Por su puesto fue un momento de gran gozo pero
cuando le preguntamos sus datos nos dijo “ohhh eso me faltó” jaja. Bueno después
de la capilla salimos a buscarla pero no tuvimos éxito. Le buscamos toda la
semana pero nada. Y bueno ayer (domingo) en la mañana estábamos super ocupados
recogiendo investigadores donde sentí preguntar una señorita en una tienda si
conocía la hermana (solo sabíamos que su nombre era Isabel).Y la verdad es que
toda la semana sentía preguntar allí pero yo siempre rechazaba el sentimiento al
toque. Pero fuimos y le preguntamos y bueno, nos dijo que tal vez era su prima.
Nos dijo donde trabaja y pasamos en la tarde. La hermana supuestamente fue
informada por su prima que íbamos a buscarle porque cuando llegamos ella estaba
super animada y nos dijo que estaba esperando. Ella de verdad está muy preparada
y es una escogida. Nos contó que su papa en lima se bautizo hace seis meses
después de ser alcohólico por 25 años y ha cambiado completamente. Ella ya tiene
un gran testimonio y ahora tiene fecha para esta 30. De verdad hay personas
preparadas y necesitamos buscarlas. El espíritu nos va a guiar, ya tengo un
testimonio muy fuerte de eso. Solo necesitamos saber como seguir sus susurros, y
si lo aprendemos se que todos encontrarán los que están preparados por las manos
del señor.

Good Morning President!:
It has been an excellent week, we are having a lot of
success here in Jauja.
We have found a family who is very motivated and wishes to
get baptized.
Also my testimony regarding the whispers of the spirit and
how to hear them has increased a lot. On the previous Sunday ( hes talking about
Sunday the 3rd) we got to church and the bishop told us that a sister came
seeking of how she could get baptized. Of course that was a moment of great joy,
but when we asked him for her info he said "oh I missed that" haha. Well after
church we went to look for her but didn't have any success. We looked for her
all week but nothing. And well yesterday (Sunday) in the morning we were really
busy picking up investigators where I felt I needed to ask a miss in the store
if she knew the sister ( the only thing we knew was that her name was Isabel).
And the truth is that I felt all week that I should ask there but I always
rejected the feeling right away. But we went and asked and well, she said that
it maybe they were cousins. She told us where she worked and we went by in the
afternoon. The sister was supposedly informed by her cousin that we were going
to look for her because when we got there she was really excited and said she
was waiting for us. She is truly very ready and she was chosen. She told us that
her dad in Lima was baptized six months ago after being an alcoholic for 25
years and has changed completely. She has a great testimony and has a date for
this 30th. There truly are people who are prepared and we need to look for them.
The spirit will guide us, I already have a very strong testimony about it. We
only need to know how to follow the spirit's whispers, and that way we will
learn I know that everybody will find that which was prepared by the Lord's
hands.
(I am sure that promptings
would be what he means instead of whispers, but just translated it
exactly)
What an amazing experience. Helped me out
alot.
Well I gotta go!
Love yall! Have great week!
