On
Tuesday we did a service project at an orphanage and helped clean the
gardens there. We raked up bushes and weeds and chopped down trees with
machetes. It was actually pretty fun! The little kids were in their
classes so we didn't get to play with them. They did come out for a
second though so we got to see them. It was sad, but I'm glad that at
least we could do something to help!
On Wednesday in our district meeting we had a cool activity
that we did as a zone. We split up into different companions.. I was
with an Hermana Suqui... and we went out into the streets of Lima with
two books of Mormon with the challenge to place them both, give two
baptismal invitations, and return with someone with a baptismal date!
Hna. Suqui and I were in a market, so we headed to a random fruit stand
and talked with the people working there. They were husband and wife, so
we gave them a book of Mormon, talked to them about their beliefs, and
they told us that they were really interested. We invited them to
baptism right then and there, and they both accepted fechas!! The thing
is that they don't live in our area, but that's still cool for the
elders that work in the area ha. I know that the Lord is preparing
people everywhere, and we just have to have the faith to look for them!
There are miracles in the mission field.
We also had a great lesson with Gustavo this week. We had
planned to talk to him about fe, and when we got to his house he told us
that his friend had given him the "Finding Faith in Christ" video, and
that faith had been something on his mind lately. The spirit knows what
these people need to hear! Gustavo told us that he has no doubt in his
mind that he wants to be Mormon. He just needs to pass his interview now
and can be baptized. He has a really strong testimony and is willing to
follow Christ.
We have surprise interviews with President Borg tomorrow as a
zone. After that we're going to the TEMPLE!! I am SO excited for the
temple! I will take lots of pictures, cause with any luck we'll have
some sun.
I'm glad to hear that Court's finally gonna get her
patriarchal blessing! I know it will really help you. I love you guys so
much and miss ya! Hope you're doing fun things as a family.Thanks for
always writing. Cuidese!!
Love, Hermana Anderson
