15 de Agosto - Happy Day of Arequipa!!!

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Holaaaa!!! How are you all doing? 

This week was a little slower here but it was a good one. A lot of appointments fell through, so it was a week of lots of contacting. :) 

Julia is doing well! She is sick with the flu and couldn't come to church yesterday, so now her baptism will be the next Saturday instead. We have changes today!! Hermana Cejas and I will be staying in Zamacola together (woot!) because we are at the halfway point of her training. Sadly Hermana Alais was transferred to Tacna, out of Arequipa. Crossing my fingers I can see her again before she finishes her mission! 

Ok I thought the people were celebrating here lots for the day of Peru, but no... this week is the day of Arequipa and the people are going ALL OUT. Flags of Arequipa everywhere you look. I love it! Soy arequipeña:) ha. I will have to send lots of pictures next week. 

Verenise was super busy with her job this week so we were only able to have 1 lesson with her. But she is doing well! Neli was the highlight of this week. We found her contacting and she is about 70 years old. She lives with her husband, daughter, son in law and granddaughter. She is catholic, but from the first lesson was super interested in our message. We were able to visit her a lot this week and she is so sweet. Her baptism date is for September! Sorry for such a short letter, but I will update you more next week. Go be faithful and have a great week! :) xo
