No transfer so still in Lima

Sorry to have missed a week but Elder Fenn is doing great and still in Lima and his first area.  He has found more success but is waiting for a couple items to fall in line to go ahead with the baptisms.  It is also encouraging that the language is coming easier and he loves the people but the newness has worn off.


Fam,
What’s up. So today is the day that I wrote a tiny e-mail . Sorry about that, but hopefully this will make up for it a little.  The good stuff is that all the people are really friendly and the way the Gospel changes people. Remember Kevin, that kid I baptized who wanted to swim in the font? Ya when we started teaching him his mom didn’t want to listen to us. After Kevin’s baptism Flor (the mom) started listening and taking lessons. She really started to open up to us. Her mom said that she was changing a lot. After a couple lessons we found out they were moving. That day we asked her if she wanted to get baptized. She said yes. But first she has to get married or the Dad move out.
The family I baptized in my first week is still super sweet. The best meal I have had here was at their house. We are trying to plan a trip to the temple with them to do baptisms. We only have 2 families we are teaching and they both need to get married. We are also teaching another lady that needs to get married before baptism. We try to have 8 families progressing though. We are teaching a 16 year old boy named Luis that is way sweet. He is freaking smart. He also knows his bible so its way easy to teach him. We have the date for this Saturday the 4th of February, but we don’t have permission from his parents yet. We have a meeting Tuesday with them. Cross your fingers, but this kids a stud he will get it from them. We’ll I’m out of room, but that’s pretty much all.
Love ya miss ya. Bye

Elder Fenn.
