It has been awhile since I have had the time to post updates for Elder Fenn and the successes he is having in Lima. Much of the problem is that his mother can instant message with him and there usually is no letter to post. He is still in the north part of Lima but would like to make it to the jungle as soon as possible. He says that he or his companion will be transferred for sure this next week and he is hoping that it is him. I find it funny that some of the people are asking Masen about the kind of man Mitt Romney is because they know that he is a "Mormon". Isn't it interesting that they would know that? You never know who is watching and what they may think about who we are. Keep the faith and work hard!
Here is some of the questions his mother asks and his reply.
What about the President and his wife...any association there?
we have training meetings with them every month so ya i see them every once and a while. we have had 2 so far and both times i got to see elder Richardson. i am blessed because i am having success. we have baptised like 8 people in the 3 (almost) months that i have been in the field. the first time i talked to him in the field was like 3 weeks ago and the Saturday before he had just gotten his first baptism. by then i had 8. and last week i saw him again and he said that they were getting more and more so he is starting to work.
this week i had 2 baptisms. they were sweet. our focus in the mission is in the family right. so every time we baptise a family its like a little bonus. the next focus is in hombres mayores, or men older than 18 years old. this is a focus because it is building the church con el sacerdocio, or priesthood.
this week we had 2 baptisms. i would send photos but my card isn´t working. . . so next week. but they were both men older than 18 so it was way sweet. one was a man that came to church with his cousins and his uncle. he is like 32 and said that it was the first time in most of his life that he has felt like that. he felt a feeling that he forgot about, the feeling of peace. the day after he went to Church we saw him again. that Monday he said he wanted to get baptised. that was 2 weeks ago mas o menos and ya he was confirmed a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints yesterday. sweet. the other man was 88 YEARS OLD ha ha. that was kinda a scary baptism. i thought that he might die in the font. but he was actually really smart. you could talk to him and he could understand almost all of it. but you had to shout for him to hear the lessons. we found him because we are teaching his daughter that is 55-60 years old. we will baptise here in May if I'm still here. May because she has to get married first.
Have you had a zone conference or anything yet? When are the next transfers?
the answers are already in the letter, but i have had 2 zone conferences. he is starting to do them every month because i guess as a mission our numbers have gone way down. next transfers. . . . i will find out after the next email sesh how will be transferred and where. but i am almost positive that I'm not going. my comp has 7 months in the same area. pobre-cito ha ha. por kid. but its all good. i have a lot of investigators that are way cool here and i want to see them get baptized. ha ha ha the coolest of our investigators are from elder Richardson's zone. ja jaja but not his area. we stoled them because they live a lot closer to our Church than the other church.
out of time.. never have enough..
