Monday, January 7, 2019 (Mission Update)

Hope you all had a wonderful New Years! Here in Peru they love their fireworks. They kept me up, but I stayed in bed, it's chilly at night. But before that we had fun with Sparklers and matches. 

Saturday we had our conference and we went to Puno to have it. It was really nice. 

This is my group from the MTC. 7 of 11 of us are here in Puno or Juliaca. 

That same Saturday we had a baptism so we had to leave from the conference real fast to get back in time to the baptism. It ended up starting an hour later anyways, but we got to make sure everything was ready. There were two baptisms. The first is a little boy who is 8 who's dad and mom are both members. We have been going over the lessons with him but it doesn't count as an investigator. He's the cutest though! The other was our pensionista. She's the one that feeds us! ;) 

Here's Leonel and his dad. He is such a funny kid! But the best!

And here we are with Hermana Lourdes and her family. 

And this is everyone that came! There was a lot of people. We even had an investigator there named Percy. We've been teaching him but he's leaving to Arequipa. He's a really good person and wants to get baptized! Too bad he's leaving. He won't be back until March. Maybe he'll continue his path in Arequipa and get baptized there. All I know is that it depends on the Lord. 

And this is us with Leonel! 

It was a great week! The Lord's work is here and it's moving on. The Church of Jesus Christ is growing and we can see  God's hand wherever we go. It was an amazing opportunity to teach Lourdes and Leonel. 

Love you all!
