Welp familia, I can´t believe that another
week has come and gone. This week was really great for us! This week we
were looking and working like crazy, and we found 14 new
investigators!! 14!! Hna. Callister said that she´s never had that many
nuevos in a week in all of her mission. We´ve been pretty excited! I
feel like we´ve got more animos now to work. I don´t know how to say
animos in English, but it´s the only way to describe how I feel ha.
Part of the reason we´ve been working with more
animos is because we have a new ward mission leader. His name is Juan
Carlos, and he is actually the son in law of our pensionista (land lord). At first I
was worried that we had a new ward mission leader, because our first
meeting with him he asked us exactly what was his calling. BUT, he´s
really taken the iniciative to learn and to help us in the work. He
wants to meet all of our investigators which is GREAT! That´s exactly
what a ward mission leader should do. We had a couple awesome lessons
with him yesterday with two different families. We finally found the
parents of the familia Castilla and shared with them the proclamation to
the world. The seemed to really like how we focus on families, and the
dad really liked that we believe that God has a plan for us here. He
said that it makes sense then that we´re here with families to help us
progress and learn. He works for the police, so I told them that my dad
works for the police too. He thought that was really cool ha. Juan
Carlos also came with us to teach another new family. We met these two
ladies in the street last week, because they called us over and started
speaking to us in English! They speak English pretty well and wanted us
to teach them. We visited them yesterday and shared the Book of Mormon
with them. They were sohoho surprised when they heard that Christ came
here to the Americas! It was actually kinda funny ha. We had a great
lesson with them and the spirit was so strong when we testified of
Christ. They both told us that they felt like God didn´t hear their
prayers, but we assured them that he hears everyone´s prayers, because
we´re all his children. It was a great lesson and I´m excited to teach
them again.
On Wednesday we started teaching an English
class! We´ve been trying to organize a class ever since Hna. Callister
got here, and we finally had it. About a dozen people came and we taught
them the basics, like how to introduce yourself. A family of
investigators came that we had never met before, so now we have another
new family to teach!! We´re going to teach them at their house, but we
haven´t been able to find them yet. We´ll keep looking this week!
This week we also had exchanges with our
hermanas trainers. I went to San Miguel for the day with an Hna. Asay.
She is from Provo and has two months left in her mission. We had a lot
of fun together and I learned a lot from her! I stayed the night in San
Miguel and in the morning we went to Miraflores because Hna Asay had an
appointment with the skin doctor. Miraflores is the richest part of
Peru, and it was supa supa weird!! I felt like I was in the states and I
felt so out of place ha. It was nice to see a nicer part, but also
weird.
I hope you know that I love my mission and am
learning a lot. There are hard days, but most of all I am happy here and
love the people here. Yesterday when we were sitting in Sacrament
meeting, I was a little bummed cause no one could come with us in the
morning. Then I looked behind me, and three of our investigators showed
up just in time! I´ve seen miracles here and am learning that the Lord´s
time is different than our time. We just have to trust in him, and we
will see miracles and blessings. I love you all so much!! Have a great
week!!
Con amor, Hna. Anderson
