holy poop its been about a month!! time flys when your havin fun huh?! well just to start out everything is going fantastic in lima peru!! lovin it here more than i could have imagined and cant wait to get to the field!
any way this week i got to go prosyliting and it wasnt like the last one at all..... we didnt go contacting, we went to less actives, it was good but we talked to only 2 people in the 4 and a half hours that we walked around... it was really hard.. but i have to say that my testimony grew of the power of a sincere testimony! in the first lesson it was with a guy who didnt really want to listen, we tried our best teaching him and trying to help him feel the love of our savior, nothing was working until elder jeffery, my comp at the time, started to bare his testimony and i bore mine too. the spirit was soo strong in that room.. the problem was he wasn't open to it at all. his heart was hardened and that was hard for me to see.... we ended with a prayer and he asked for us not to come back.. it was sad but i know the missionaries will go back and maybe crack him then;) also then we went to visit a guy named rick and we found him and we talked to him in this little tiny room with 3 chairs for 6 people so some where standing and some were sitting, there was no front door, and there was metal bars every where because he makes like cage guard doors for people! Anyway it was him and his cousin oscar who isnt a member. oscar had a lot of questions for us which was super cool and with the help of elder baldwin ( a missionary from the area) we helped him understand what our message was. i got to recite the first vision from memory to him and he was touched! he wanted to learn more and read about it in the pamphlet! he excepted the book of mormon we gave him and we told him about the testimonies that elder jeffery and i wrote for him in the front of the book of mormon! also rick said he would come to church soo that was a super awesome experience!! it just goes to show that those small moments can make up for a long time of no success!! i love this work!
I was able to go to the temple today again and it was the best session in my opinion so far! i dont know what it was, i was just so intuned i felt my saviors love so much! it was sooo good!" so ya i love the temple and i am gonna be sad when i have to wait two years to go in again!! gosh the time is going soooooo o fast but i am SUPER EXCITED!! i cant wait to get out there haha!! man i am pumped....
we got new guys in our room!! they are cool dudes! oner is from texas and one is from utah! they are tight! we are already good freinds as a room so that is super good]!
