Week 19

Merry Christmas.... Feliz navidad 

(At the concert last Saturday) 

well, this week wasn't as solid as last.... but hey we worked hard!!!! we leave each morning and walk all day, then teach as many people as we can! its not an easy job! but with the lord on our side it is possible!  so we will be just pushing on like always!  we did have 2 cool experiences!

 1} boyd and i were sitting on a bench eating some chips and this lady walked passed and i said "hi" and she just walked up to us and started talking.  I asked if we could teach her and she said "ya, right now!"  haha so we sat down with her and taught her for an hour!! it was an amazing experience because that day was super slow until then! she is going to Arequipa cause her son is in the hospital, so we wont see her for a while but we are going to be trying to find her as soon as she gets back! it was super cool!

  2} we were walking up a hill with a member and i was like, why dont we just knock this door real quick? so we did and the man whipped opened the door,  invited us in and talked to us.  we found out he investigated the church when he was 10! he was super super interested! he had lots of great questions and was really wanting to learn more! it was awesome, i cant wait to go back!

 

All week we have been practicing our skit for our christmas party on Saturday! the party was in tacna, we went there and talked to everyone for a while and then we listened to the president and his wife speak, they were great!  then we ate lunch which was pollo a la braza!!yummmmmmmmmm we played a bunch of games! for example dressing our zone leader up as santa with paper for a competition! haha it was super funny! then we got stockings from sister Zobrist with chocolate and we did our skits!  they were super funny!! After we went to the plaza to sing, but we couldn't because there was a band there, so we quickly sang a couple songs and went back home!  It was an awesome experience to be together and enjoy our time with other zones.

Our zone leader.... Pretty good, right?

The competition..... 

one story that I read this week was in the book of Daniel 3 in the bible! its about meshach, shadrch and abed-nego!  it talks about how they stood up for thier beliefs and had great trust in their lord! i invite you all to read it and ponder on what you can do, too better your confidence in the lord and his spirit!! It's an awesome read and has helped me a lot! i hope it helps you too....
