Feliz Navidad!

This week was a lot of fun because we had some good activities. First we had the Christmas party as a zone in the mission home which was fun where we played games and watched a movie. We also did another zone activity in the plaza of Sullana where we sang and contacted and we had a santa for people to take pictures with. 

Other than that, I'm really excited about the work right now because it looks like we will be baptizing 3 weeks straight. We will have one this Saturday with a teenager named Luciana. Her family was less active but now her older brother is coming every Sunday and she has desires to get baptized and has already passed her interview. Next week we will baptize Edwin, who we were going to baptize earlier but he left to work in Ecuador for 2 months. He came back like 2 weeks ago and has a lot of desires and has gone to church every Sunday he's been in town. The week after we should be baptizing 2 more teenagers. 

Anyways I look forward to talking to y'all tomorrow and I love y'all!

Merry Christmas!

BAPTISM

I had a pretty good first week training. My kid's name is Elder Aguirre and he's from North Lima. From what I've seen so far, he's a good missionary and has desire to work so I'm happy to be with him. 

We started off the first week of this transfer with a baptism! His name is Oscar and he's been a miracle because his life has changed so much. He has a really strong testimony and he had the opportunity to share it after his baptism. He loves to talk so he shared his for about 10 minutes haha. 

We've also found some more awesome people here and we have more plans to baptize this transfer so I'm excited. Things are going really well here and I'm enjoying my time. We've also continued doing FHEs with more families. 

Love you guys!

Training Round 2

So it was another pretty good week and I'll have quite a few pictures to send of the FHEs we've done and pics from last week. I'm also excited because I'll be training again this transfer but let's hope that this time is a lot better than last haha. 

We will also have a baptism with Oscar this week so I'm stoked for that. He's already passed his interview and everything is ready to go as long as he stays strong this week. He's been a miracle here and he's changed his life around so it's been awesome to be a witness of that. We also have some other people who are progressing and may get baptized this transfer. 

I don't have too much more to say but have a good week!

Light the World

So this week was really good with the mini missionary and we had a good amount of success. We also had a baptism of a girl named Nicole which was a good experience. We could also have a few more this month so I'm excited. We are working with one person to help her get married and they have plans to do it soon. Oscar will have his interview this week but his date is for the 15th because we won't have church this Sunday because they have elections again... We also 2 other people that came to church and they have baptismal dates for the end of this month but it really depends on if their families can reactivate and stay active. 

Apart from that, we started off Light the World this Saturday with the day of service. We held a breakfast in the chapel for people to come and then after we went to a hospital to deliver to others. It was a really awesome and fun experience to work with the ward and see success from that. I had some good pictures to send but some reason they aren't uploading so I'll try to send them next week.

Love you guys and Light the World!
