ah su. .
bueno. this week has been chill. a family invited somebody to church this week, and she was really really cool. she told me that she wants to hear more. she stayed for all the classes which usually doesn´t happen the first time, but when the members invite others, there is a different power. the only problem with here is that she leaves to work at 7:00 am and gets home at 10:00 :( but she is home on the weekends, so this weekend we will go and try to teach her whole family, and invite them (drag them by the ears) to general conference.
hopefully we can do quick work with them becuse if not i wont be able to see them get baptised.
this week we have taught another new family. they are way cool. we found them through a member. he always goes to there restaurant to eat. and i guess he talks to them about the gospel, and they accepted to talk with us, so he was supposed to give us lunch. we got to his house, and he didn´t know that he was supposed to, but said ``dont worry we will go to this little place, and the owner wants to listen to you.” ah sweet lunch and a reference. turns out that the place is really little. they just barely opened their restaurant, but it was way way way good food. she accepted to listen to us, and when we got there to teach her and her husband she called all the workers out to listen to us (2 other chicks) haha. but it was a very good lesson. they have a lot of faith, but they dont go to church. if they go this week i know that they will get baptised. they just have to shut down shop for a little
well thats a little on whats going down in peru.
love you all

latest on this week. . . . not really anything. hahahahaha. I got my package so thank you very much. it was a good one.
ya so this week we went with a sister so that she could present us to one of her friends. we got there and I asked her what his name is. the dude walked out and she said 创hola killer como esta创 wait his name is killer?? hahaha I asked them if they knew what that meant and he said (translated)创 yes it means assassin, but I wouldn’t kill a fly创 it was funny, and even better is that the dog that lives in front of my house is named killer. hahaha. but it’s all good. he really is not that cool as an investigator, but he has his reasons. his kid is sick, and when we went to talk to him he was thinking about his kid and how he is going to help pay for his surgery, and not thinking at all about the lesson. but whatever. we will talk with him and see if we can touch his heart.
another investigator that we visited is named C閟ar Gonzales. he is cool and gives all the right answers, but never does what we leave him to do. last Sunday he went to church. it was sweet. we went to visit him this week one day, and he came out all hurried and everything, but gave us time. we started the lesson, and he started talking about the UN, and how he had just filmed Javier Perez which was the president. he told us that they asked him if he could say something to the youth what would he say. Javier said that he would tell them not to lose hope. then they asked him if he believe in god, and President Javier Perez said no. Hno. C閟ar asked us “how did he get to be such a good person if he doesn’t believe in god? we said that you don’t have to believe in god to be a good person-- you just have to act like Christ. I asked him what were some of the things that Jesus did when he was in the earth. he said loved and served. then I asked if that is what Javier did, he said yes with a OH...YA look on his face. it was a cool lesson I also asked him 创 if you could tell me everything that Jesus taught in one word what would it be创 I was thinking in Spanish seguidme or follow me (2 nef. 31:10) but he said love. . . . when he said that I felt like hno. C閟ar had a better answer than I had.
this week I also read 1 cor 13 that talks all about caridad. and that nothing matters if we don’t love. it was really cool to learn about. then I read chapter 12 that says that everything and everybody has their own function. I was looking and studying in the scriptures on how to be 创perfect创 and never found a good answer. In the dictionary it says that we can be perfect through Christ, and that job was perfect so I was like ya I wanna be perfect. then my comp gave a talk yesterday and shared a story that there was a reunion in a tool shop, and all the tools were talking bad about everybody else. the hammer was too noisy, the sand paper always made dust, the screw had to turn to many times to be useful and was just a pain, the tape measure always took exact measurements and said that he was perfect, and stuff like that. Each tool said that the other tools had to leave, but then the farmer walked in. The Farmer took every tool exactly how it was—defects and all--to make a beautiful chair. in the end every tool was perfect when it did its part. we too can be perfect when we do our part. we don’t have to do what everybody else is doing, we only have to do our part. it was a good story that I can’t share that well, but hope you got the idea.
we that’s all folks. got to go for today.
see you on the flip.

whats up y´all. well this week was normal. Erickson and Cristopher Adams received the priesthood this week. it was really fun to see that, and to see them progress is so cool.
i had a baptismal interview that was way way way cool. i asked him if he wanted to be baptised, and he started to say that his family was catholic, and leading me on to believe that he didnt want to be baptised, but everything he said didnt match the feeling i had. i looked at him in the eyes and asked him if he wanted to be baptised, and he said yes. that matched the feeling that i had. after that we talked a little about life, and how the best things never are the easiest, and that he can find comfort, strength, and courage in the Lord. it was cool. at the end of the interview he said that he wanted to get baptised this week, so sweet.
other than that not much.
right now im a little scared with whats going to happen this change. my comp got his change, and nobody knows where he is going, but i know who my comp is going to be, and it could work out alright, but at the same time it could be terrible. i hope it all goes good. there is a lot of work to do, and i just hope i can do it all.
love you all.
