well to start off i had a great week. i finaly got my new comp. he is 22 and from columbia. his name. Elder Amaya. he is the best. he is super funny and we are alway laughing. the best thing is that he was in the same district as Elder Collins before. so we have fun making fun of everyone. the other best part about this week is that i got to baptise in the river baby. it was so sweet. the baptism was way spiritual and you could really feel the spirit, but in the waters of mormon (ya thats directly translated, i dont know if thats the right name or not, but you will understand.) was way better. when i baptised him he came out of the water and we took a couple more pictures. while we were taking pictures he turned to me and said, when is was in the water my body felt different. i asked him if it was a good feeling or what he thought. he just said different, but i know it was good. then we said jokingly that its because everything was washed clean. we laught a little. but then when he bore his testimony it was really powerful. you could really feel the spirt and tell that we helped him in his life. you know you got a good one when he says that he knows its true, but wants to learn more, then asks the whole branch for help. he will be a good leader in the church, and i think he might even go on a mission.

saturday was independence day for peru or something so everyone was celebrating. we were contacting and it was good. then we went to a different area closer to the pesions house. the first door we knocked my comp said we are going to find a future stake president here. i said that was too small and joking said profet, then i said no, but something bigger than a stake pres. a huge man answered the door and let us in. he told us that he was super cathlic and hes not going to chang for nothing. i said that was tight, but we would like to share what we know with him. he let us and we started talking. it was all normal then he shared with us a dream (EVERYONE HAS DREAMS/REVILATIONS HERE. . . EVERYONE) but this one was different. he said he dreamed a light, and heard a voice, but couldnt see anyone in the light. then the voice read jaramis 1:5 in the bible that says that we are chosen and ordained before this life. after he had that dream he converted to the catholic chruch and hasnt had it again. i am banking that after we shared our message with him that he will have that dream again, because if he does that we can baptise him and he will become a pres. of something big.
well i got to go. i love you all and miss you all.

who he was able to baptize.
Baptising in the river.
This is suppose to be a fruit which he says is pretty tasty, much like a mango.
