Hello family!
This week has been spectacular! On my birthday we had the peruvian ritual birthday party in the evening which involves singing happy birthday in both english and spanish, and the infamous "mordidita". Well, at least it wasn't as bad as last year but I still ended up with cake all over my face haha. I love this ward so much. Even though I only have a couple of weeks here they're very caring towards the missionaries.
There's a member in our ward who is a newspaper editor, and years ago ran for mayor, and basically knows everyone in the entire Barranca province. He's a super active member also. He's been ward mission leader like 3 times I think. But we all take turns in the zone going out to proselyte with him and he talks to everyone he knows by name (which is practically everyone haha) and a lot of them are really accepting to us. We've already found a few new investigators thanks to this good member. It's such a help for the work to have a member connection with the investigators because they feel more natural and open to express their opinions. I hope you guys have chances to go out with the missionaries or teach lessons with them soon because it is such a great experience and such a help!
Yesterday there was a big broadcast for all the stakes in Perú and Bolivia in which a few area authorities and general authorities participated. I don't have much time to explain it all but it was an awesome broadcast and afterwards we had a big baptismal service with the whole zone!
Thanks for all your letters and all your love. Sending it right back at you!
¡ARRIBA PERÚ !!!
