Buenas Tardes! Feeling real happy to get on internet today
to see a fun little surprise... Baby Gunner!!!! So stoked to meet my cute new
nephew in a few months. So happy for you Kaleb and Adria! Also, birthday
shoutout to Adria this week, I hope you have an amazing day!
This week was crazy busy but really good. I'm just going to
give a few of the highlights because so short on time.
-We had leadership conference in Arequipa and it was
powerfullll.
-José passed me the sacrament yesterday in church. :)
-Bruno had an interview with the bishop where they set his
goals to receive the melc. priesthood.. he is so excited.
-We met Brayan. (The zone leaders in the area next to us
were out contacting in the street last week. Brayan was walking on one side of
the street and the elders on the other. As Brayan quotes it "I looked to my
left seeing 2 white angels running towards me"-the elders are both gringos
ha- and they were able to contact him and passed us the reference after. He is
22 and he is so so receptive. His best friend passed away 2 weeks ago and he
has really been looking for God in his life. He loved church yesterday, already
fits in real good with the YSA, and has a baptism date for April 7th!)
-My companion is so fun. She is a convert, was baptized 2
years ago, the only member of her family, and she's just the sweetest. Not to
mention she makes a real good travel buddy, running buddy, and companion!
-We met Gisella. She is a member who was baptized about 4
years ago but has been inactive these past couple years. Her husband isn't a
member, and her oldest son isn't either. They have 3 kids-a 9 year old, 2 year
old, and new born. The 2 year, old, Ramsus, has a disease (I dont know what its
called in english) where his chest is growing inwards instead of outwards. The poor
thing, it makes it so hard for him to breath at times, and he gets tired so
easily. He has to go to Lima 3 times a month for his treatments. This week, we
took a brother from the ward, Alan, to their house to give Ramsus a blessing.
When we showed up to the house Ramsus was throwing a big fit, screaming and
all. We tried to help him get all calmed down but he kept crying and crying.
The brother that came with us went straight into giving him the blessing and
when he put his hands over Ramsus´ head and started to speak.. silence. Ramsus
was dead silent. Everyone listened, and it was a really special blessing. When
it finished-Ramsus was staring upwards at Brother Alan as if he were an angel
or something. and still in silence. The priesthood is SO REAL. Gisella burst
into tears, Jimmy her husband even let a few tears fall, and the spirit was
undeniable. So so so much power in the priesthood.
I hope you all have an amazing week! Go find someone to
serve, and if you can share the gospel with them-even better:) Love you all so
much! xo
