Well Family and Friends how is everyone doing? I hope all is going
great! So first off.....HOLY COW SO MANY GIRLS ARE GOING TO BE
MISSIONARIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow that blows my mind how many of my
friends are going out!! How great is that! Look at how much the
missionary work has progressed!! We have been told that this next year
in January to March we will get like 70 Sister missionaries!!!!!!!!!!!!
So every zone will have like 6 to 8 sisters, and our zone will
problably have more because in the past Tarapoto at one point had 12
sisters!!! Oh boy im nervous to be a zone leader to 19 year old sister
missionaries! haha no it will be good!
So to
answer your question about thanksgiving, mom, dad you know how much i
love to eat, so you know that i have been praying for a miracle, because
its true here in Peru there is no thanksgiving...but my prayers have
been answered, we just recieved a email from president Blunck that he is
coming here to Tarapoto Thanksgiving day to invite our zone to
dinner!!! WERE GOING TO HAVE THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So everything is going great with our investigators. We baptized
Maria, that single mom!!! It was awesome!! She has come such a long
way!! She has been in contact with the missionaries for 4 YEARS!!!!
Yeah talk about an eternal investigator!!! But the difference was 4
years ago they invited her to be baptized, but she was always working
and could never come to church... so the missionaries just kind of gave
up on her and just keep kind of visiting her. So when i got here, we
went to here house, told her that if she changed her work, and was able
to come to church she would see the blessings Heavenly Father has for
her, and then we invited her to be baptized!! And she did it! She asked
to change her work hours, she attended church, and a month later she
got baptized!!! It was so awesome!! All she needed was to be pushed
just a little, but with a promise from God, all will be well. And with
her faith that she had, she got that promise, and she has never been so
happy!! Her daughter Alexa, we need to wait for more time, her dad who
lives in another city wont give her permission!!!
So We are preparing Diogo, Jorge, and are you ready......ANOTHER
FAMILY!!! But not only for their baptism, but we are getting them
married!!! This weekend!! Were going to have their wedding in the
morning, and then at night were going to baptize The wife, Mariella.
Her Boyfriend is a Member!! Were so excited!!! Were going to be
baptizing 3 families this month!!! Im so happy!! but this past week
has been even crazier than the last one! So to marry people here in
Peru, is like a big stress case! First off we have to get their ID from
the couple, then we have to send copies to the city where they were
born, to get their birth certificate! But oh wait were in the Jungle,
and everyone is from little villages in Iquitos!! So we have to send
members to go find their little island in a boat, and they have to get
all their paper work for us! Then we have to do all their paper work
like 2 weeks in advance, and they have to fill out medical forms, proof
that they are single, and all that jazz. So we have been calling all
over Peru looking for the paper work, but not only for our couple, but 3
others as well!! Its been a nutcase!! but i love it! If all goes well
we will be baptizing families, and later they can be sealed in the
temple for all time and eternity!!! Wow, the mission is nothing like I
thought!! It so much better!!
Dad good luck in your surgery! I hope,and pray all goes well and you will recover fast!!! I love you!!!!!
So
what more is going on here.....oh i got proposed to last night by this
super crazy lady..... she wouldn't let go of my hand!! It was intense,
but I was looking around where is my pensionista with a bucket of water
when I need her!! haha
So that is so awesome about Korban!!! Im so excited for him!! Did
he get my letter, because im still waiting on him. And did you send out
all the letters i sent?
I love you guys so much i hope all is well with you guys, and I can't wait to hear back from you all!!
All my Love,
