Hello, Prolima!
Hey, so it turns out that
I'll be in my first area for another transfer. Good times, Prolima.
Raquel and her
daughter Katti got confirmed yesterday! I have the picture now, because a
week ago, they were only halfway baptized. Also, only my companion took
pictures of Angelo's baptism, but I have another picture of the Vilca family. [Dalton
downloaded two photos, but they wouldn’t open.
Sorry, fans!] I know that only Angelo (the youngest in the picture)
got baptized, but I still consider them my best converts.
Saturday was crazy. We had one person that needed
another baptismal interview, and our district leader told us on Friday that no one would be able to do it until the
following week. However, on Saturday morning, we were told that the interview could get done that
same morning. We started freaking out, because our candidate had already
left to work. One problem, he works by going around the whole sector on a
bike looking for things to recycle. We went crazy looking for our
baptism. We didn’t find him that day, but it was still an adventure.
And hey, he was at church still!
We have one family
that we are finally going to really follow up on. We found this family
the beginning of my mission, but they aren’t married and weren’t progressing,
so we dropped them. Elder Bulacio comes around and the family finds us on
the street and said how much they've missed our visits. We taught them
again then dropped them because they weren’t progressing. Elder Sarria
comes around and we find them again. Lucy even told us this time that she
had been reading the Book of Mormon and praying for us to come back. They
told us this week that they believe everything and want to get married.
They are coming to church. There is only one problem: The
bank will deny Idelson (the almost husband) a loan to buy a house if it shows
that he’s married. It’s a challenge, but we are so excited for a miracle
with them. The daughter even asked us when she can get baptized, but
we're gonna wait on it. Keep Lucy and Idelson in your prayers.
Yeah, so that's what’s
going on. I’m not ruling out the idea of spending my whole mission here.
I’d be a legend. Brace yourselves!
Elder Johnson
