Hey there friends and family1 So this week was really great apart from catching a cold.
So first off we have a new mission president. He is Presidente Montoya from Peru and we will meet him tomorrow at MLC. So this week it was freezing cold, even more than it usually is but its okay. After an appointment an hermana let us borrow some blankets haha to go outside to be warm, we felt so funny walking around with those but they helped so its okay. So something funny we realized while planning was that all of our investigators last names are Choque haha I dont know how that happened but Its a great coincidence. Its time for the Choques to progress haha. So here theres more dogs on the street than people to talk to, this week my comp decided to count all the dogs she saw in one day and she got to 61 before 8am hahaha its a dog city! So this week we met a ''family that is super smiley and loves to cook'' They are the Espinoza family. We mainly met with Laura and Luis they are siblings, they were cooking and we offered to help! We peeled potatoes for them! haha they made really good food I am so grateful! But mostly because they are so receptive and sweet. She asked about baptizing her baby that is around 8 months old but we explained what is the purpose of baptism, that is to clean of our sins and she understood right away, ''oh yea then I wont because my baby is innocent'' it was such a sweet moment where I felt the spirit work with her. The Ward is being so supportive with the missioanries they are implementing this new system of family orientation for the investigators that are progressing. They each get visiting teachers. So what each presidency did is set apart members that didnt have someone to visit so they are vacant to help us out.They are ready to work with us and our investigators! Its the best seriosuly, we feel so much support from the bishop and the council it makes all the difference. And lastly, This Saturday Rosemary got baptized! She is so very special to me, an eternal friend and It was such a blessing to be there for such a special moment for her! The mission is the best! When someone enters the waters of baptism it is always a moment to rejoice and remember God's plan for his children. I know its not all about baptisms its more about conversion. The real success is measured in how we are converted, how we live our lives after the mission and how we raise our families. I am grateful to say I love the mission for many reasons, I love the people, I love that my testimony of my Savior has grown and that I understand obedience so much more than I ever did. Obedience is not about how many miracles you get to see but rather how you feel. I know that when we are obedient we feel happy and peaceful.
