This has been an awesome week!
First, let me start out with Juan. Juan is our investigator that we found last week. We had planned on committing him to baptism on Tuesday, but ended up not doing it, because we we finishing an activity and felt like it wasn't the right spirit. Well the elders had a different idea and ended up committing OUR investigator to baptism. Haha I couldn't believe it. The elders saw the look of unbelief on our faces when they were doing it and thought it was so funny. But we had a lesson Thursday with him and committed him to baptism in a more spiritual way.. He accepted and he´s set to be baptized on the 23rd of December! He has some doubts though so we´re going to work with him. We want him to be sure of his testimony before he gets baptized.
We had our leadership meeting in San Fernando this week. We analyized the progress of the mission and made a new "action plan" for the mission. It was super cool. We then got to eat at everyones favorite Peruvian restaurant. :)
Then we had a zone meeting on Friday to present the new plan to the zone. It was a super cool meeting. This plan focuses on being consecrated and we decided that we´re going to read Jesus the Christ as a mission. I´ve read it once since being out here but I'm super excited to read it as a mission. Sadly, the plan will end after I'm already home, so I won't get to see the end, but I'm excited to be here for part of it!
On Monday we had a cool little miracle. We had an appoitment in an apartment complex, but had some time before so we decided to knock doors. The first door we knocked, a woman opened. We started talking and she interrupted us and told us to come in. When we sat down she told us that she saw us through the peep hole and said "nooooo. I'm not going to open." and then decided to open and said it was exactly what she needed.
We´ve had a lot of mini miracles happening here. The ward and zone are progressing. Christmas is close. Life is good. I will never fully be able to express the love I have for the mission and the love I have for my Savior and Father in Heaven. I will never be able to repay Them for allowing me to have these experiences. I´ve heard a lot that missions are to "give back" for everything They do for us, but in reality, They have given me so much more than I had before. I love this gospel.
Love you all so much! Have a great week!!
Didn't take any pictures this week because I'm the worst but next week I promise I will send some!!
