So
something kind of cool happened with our family we are working with. Olga (the
mom), Eufemia (the grandma), Cesar (the Dad), and then they have like 3 kids
and a few cousins who we are also teaching. Anyway, so this Saturday and Sunday we
had a district conference with some of the leaders, the mission’s president,
his first counselor, and then the local leaders. But we invited the family and
so on Saturday the grandma and mom showed up at the door but saw all
the people and got scared and left. Anyway, we talked to them that night and
invited them to the next session on Sunday in Ayaviri. Anyway, they
said they were going to be in the compo (country side) but the dad is a combi
driver (like a van driver) and he said that the church hired him to be a driver
the next day. Man we really saw the Lord’s work in that one.
So
the next day him and Eufemia, the grandma, showed up and attended the
conference. The whole time me and Elder Nicholls were just praying for them to
be able to feel the spirit. After it, we talked to them and asked how they were
feeling and we also have another appointment this Thursday to invite
the family to watch general conference at the church in Ayaviri. All the American
elders watch it separately in English. Also we had 12 investigators in our
district go to the conference. Also we are starting to get references from the
members which is good. So yea this week is pretty sweet.
We
also got some new sister missionaries in our zone so we now have a total of 10
in zone Ayaviri. One has been out for a while and the other just came out of
the MTC. It’s funny though because i now know more Spanish than someone else.
Also
I didn’t get any pictures of the adobe house but I’ll try to this week. And
basically all we did was get water and move bricks. They actually hire a
maestro to build the house and direct the work. I also ate chunyo for the first
time which is basically rotten potato.... Yum.... Anyway we had a really fun
and good week this week. We
also set a goal to have 12 baptisms in our district and 6 rescues.
Well
that’s about it for the events of this week. As far as weather goes, it’s
really hot when it’s sunny and then 30 minutes later we get a hail storm. But
yea I’m loving it here.
